JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) issues auto callable notes tied to Nasdaq-100 Tech & Russell 2000
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $6,395,000 of auto callable accelerated barrier notes linked to the lesser performer of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the Russell 2000® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000, price at 100% of principal, and are expected to settle on or about December 17, 2025.
The notes can be automatically called as early as December 16, 2026 if both indices are at or above 100% of their initial values, paying principal plus a call premium of 13.75% on the first Review Date or 27.50% on the second. If not called and both final index levels are above their initial values, investors receive principal plus 2.00 times the return of the lesser-performing index; if either index finishes between 70% and 100% of its initial value, only principal is returned. If either index closes below 70% of its initial value at final valuation, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss in the lesser-performing index, with the possibility of a complete loss of principal.
The notes pay no interest, do not provide dividends on index constituents, and are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The estimated value at pricing was $955.00 per $1,000 note, below the issue price, and the notes will not be listed, so any secondary market will be limited and at potentially discounted prices.

FAQ
What are the key terms of the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable accelerated barrier notes?
The notes are linked to the lesser performer of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM (NDXT) and the Russell 2000® Index (RTY), have a $1,000 minimum denomination, an Upside Leverage Factor of 2.00, a Barrier Amount of 70.00% of each index’s initial value, and mature on December 15, 2028 if not called earlier.
How does the automatic call feature work on the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
On each non-final Review Date (December 16, 2026 and December 13, 2027), if the closing level of each index is at or above 100% of its Initial Value, the notes are automatically called and pay $1,000 plus the Call Premium Amount: 13.75% (or $137.50) on the first Review Date and 27.50% (or $275.00) on the second, with no further payments.
What is the upside participation at maturity for these JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of each index is greater than its Initial Value, the payment at maturity per $1,000 note is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Index Return × 2.00), providing leveraged exposure to the lesser-performing index.
Under what conditions can investors lose principal on the JPMorgan auto callable notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of either index is below its Barrier Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value, the maturity payment becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Index Return), so losses match the percentage decline of the lesser-performing index and can reach a 100% loss of principal.
Do the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and holders do not receive dividends on any securities in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM or the Russell 2000® Index, nor any voting or other shareholder rights.
What is the estimated value and fee structure of these JPMorgan structured notes?
The notes are offered at $1,000 per note, with selling commissions of $4.50 per $1,000 principal amount. Total issuance is $6,395,000, fees are $28,777.50, and net proceeds to the issuer are $6,366,222.50.
