JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) notes link high contingent interest to Coinbase
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class A common stock of Coinbase Global, Inc. The notes target investors seeking high contingent income rather than direct cryptocurrency exposure, with performance based on Coinbase’s stock, not on any specific digital asset.
The notes pay a contingent interest rate of at least 22.00% per annum (at least 1.83333% per month) for each Review Date where Coinbase’s closing share price is at or above 50.00% of the Initial Value, the Interest Barrier. No interest is paid for periods when the stock is below this level. Starting with the June 22, 2026 Review Date, the notes are automatically called if Coinbase’s stock is at or above the Initial Value, returning $1,000 per note plus the applicable interest and ending future payments.
If the notes are not called and the Final Value on June 21, 2027 is at or above 50.00% of the Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the final contingent interest. If the Final Value is below 50.00%, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the stock decline, and investors can lose more than half, up to all, of their principal. The notes are unsecured obligations, and an indicative estimated value is about $974 per $1,000 principal amount, and will not be less than $900 when set, reflecting embedded costs and hedging.
