JPMorgan (AMJB) auto-call notes: 11.5% contingent coupon, Mar 2029 maturity
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC offers Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, Nasdaq-100® and Russell 2000®. The notes have a $1,000 principal denomination, are expected to price on or about March 16, 2026 and settle on or about March 19, 2026, with a stated maturity of March 21, 2029.
The notes pay a Contingent Interest Payment on each Review Date if every Index is at or above an Interest Barrier of 80.00% of its Initial Value; the Contingent Interest Rate will be at least 11.50% per annum. The notes are automatically callable (earliest call date March 16, 2027) if every Index is at or above its Initial Value on an applicable Review Date. At maturity, if any Index is below its Trigger Value, payment is reduced by the Least Performing Index Return and you could lose a substantial portion or all of principal.

Insights
Notes offer high contingent coupon potential but yield asymmetric downside tied to the least performing Index.
The product targets investors seeking periodic contingent coupons (minimum 11.50% per annum) subject to an 80.00% Interest Barrier and an automatic call feature beginning March 16, 2027. Contingent Interest Payments accrue only when all three Indices meet the barrier on Review Dates; unpaid coupons may be made up later only if subsequent Review Dates meet the barrier.
Investor outcomes hinge on the Least Performing Index at final Review Date: if below the Trigger Value, maturity payment equals $1,000 × (1 + Least Performing Index Return), exposing holders to meaningful principal loss. Secondary market liquidity is limited and pricing includes selling and hedging costs.
Payments depend on issuer and guarantor credit and are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment is therefore subject to the credit risk of both entities. As a finance subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial has limited independent assets and depends on intercompany payments.
Credit events or widening credit spreads could materially reduce secondary market values; holders rely on the guarantee, which ranks pari passu with other unsecured obligations of the guarantor.
