AMJB auto-callable barrier notes linked to SOXX and NDXT detailed
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $465,000 of Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performing of the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) and the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes have a $1,000 minimum denomination and can be automatically called on November 27, 2026 if each underlying is at or above 100% of its initial value, paying $1,159 per $1,000 note (a 15.9% call premium). If not called and both final values exceed their initial values on November 21, 2028, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.50 times the gain of the worse-performing underlying.
If either underlying finishes below its 70% barrier level, maturity payment is $1,000 plus the full negative return of the lesser performer, so investors can lose more than 30% and up to all principal. The notes pay no interest, provide no dividends, are unsecured, unlisted, and their value and payment depend on the credit of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The initial estimated value is $938.40 per $1,000 note, below the $1,000 issue price due to fees, hedging costs and dealer profits.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan (AMJB) Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes in this 424B2?
The notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are linked to the lesser performing of the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) and the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), with potential early call after about one year and leveraged upside at maturity if not called.
How much is JPMorgan (AMJB) raising and what are the key economics of these notes?
The total offering size is $465,000, with each note issued at $1,000. Dealers receive $29.50 per $1,000 note in selling commissions, so net proceeds to the issuer are $970.50 per note. The initial estimated value is $938.40 per $1,000 note, reflecting embedded fees, hedging costs and dealer profits.
How does the automatic call feature work on the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
On the Review Date (November 27, 2026), if the closing value of each underlying is at or above its Call Value (100% of its initial value), the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,159 per $1,000 note (principal plus a $159 call premium amount) on the Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What is the payoff at maturity for the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes if they are not called?
If the notes are not automatically called and both final values exceed their initial values, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.50 times the return of the lesser performing underlying. If either underlying is at or below its initial value but both stay at or above 70% of initial, investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If either finishes below 70% of initial, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the lesser performer and can lose their entire investment.
What are the main risks of the JPMorgan (AMJB) Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes?
Key risks include potential loss of more than 30% and up to 100% of principal if the lesser performing underlying finishes below its 70% barrier, no interest or dividends, and exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are not listed, may be hard to sell at a fair price, and secondary prices are expected to be below the $1,000 issue price due to internal funding rates, fees and hedging costs.
How do the underlying indices affect the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
Payments depend on the individual performance of the iShares Semiconductor ETF, which tracks U.S.-listed semiconductor stocks, and the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index, which equally weights technology names in the Nasdaq-100. The payoff is driven by the lesser performing of the two, so weak performance in either technology or semiconductor stocks can significantly reduce returns and principal repayment.
What are the tax considerations mentioned for investors in these JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
The issuer’s special tax counsel states it is reasonable to treat the notes as open transactions that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with potential long-term capital gain if held more than one year. However, the notes could be subject to constructive ownership rules and future IRS guidance on prepaid forward contracts could change the tax treatment, possibly with retroactive effect, so investors are urged to consult their tax advisers.
