JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Step-Up Auto Callable Notes linked to the S&P Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD), expected to price on or about March 30, 2026 with settlement on or about April 2, 2026.

Insights
Product couples step-up call schedule with 100% participation at maturity if not called.
The notes combine an automatic-call schedule with progressively higher Call Values and minimum Call Premium Amounts (from $85 to $510 per $1,000). The Participation Rate is 100.00%, and the maturity payment equals $1,000 plus $1,000×Index Return if not called.
Key dependencies include the Index closing levels on each Review Date and issuer/guarantor creditworthiness; timing of automatic call begins on April 1, 2027. Secondary market liquidity is limited and JPMS may be sole or primary counterparty for repurchases.
Notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal tax purposes.
Special tax counsel (Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP) states the notes will be treated as contingent payment debt instruments; holders generally must accrue OID using a comparable yield determined by the issuer. The comparable yield and projected payment schedule will be provided in the pricing supplement.
Section 871(m) treatment was considered; issuer expects it will not apply to Non-U.S. Holders based on issuer determinations, but that determination is not binding on the IRS.
