JPMorgan (AMJB) prices uncapped dual directional barrier notes tied to equity indexes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $1,535,000 of Uncapped Dual Directional Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on December 17, 2030 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes pay no interest and are issued in $1,000 denominations at $1,000 each, with $5 in selling commissions and $995 in proceeds to the issuer per note; the estimated value at pricing was $977.10 per $1,000 note. At maturity, if every index finishes above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.93 times the gain of the worst index. If any index is at or below its initial level but all remain at or above 70% of their initial values, investors receive the $1,000 principal plus the absolute decline of the worst index, capped at 30%, for a maximum of $1,300 per $1,000 note in negative-return scenarios.
If any index closes below 70% of its initial value, repayment is $1,000 plus the actual return of the worst index, so losses can exceed 30% of principal and reach a total loss. The notes are unsecured, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not listed on an exchange and may trade below the issue price due to fees, internal funding rates and hedging costs.
