JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto‑callable structured notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Multi‑Asset Index (MAX), expected to price on or about April 29, 2026 and settle on or about May 4, 2026. The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000, a Participation Rate of 100.00%, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes can be automatically called beginning on May 3, 2027 if the Index closing level meets or exceeds a step‑up Call Value; automatic call payments combine principal plus a Call Premium Amount that increases across Review Dates. If not called, at maturity on May 4, 2033 holders receive $1,000 plus an Additional Amount equal to $1,000 × Index Return × Participation Rate (not less than zero). Estimated value at issuance is approximately $906.20 per $1,000; the estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000.

Insights
Auto‑call design balances potential step‑up payouts against early‑exit risk.
The structure offers 100% participation in upward Index moves at maturity but caps realized upside if the notes are automatically called, where investors receive the stated Call Premium Amounts. The Step‑up Call Values (e.g., 101.00% first, 106.00% sixth) raise the threshold for early calls over time.
Key dependencies include Index performance on discrete Review Dates, the 1.00% per annum daily deduction applied to the Index, and issuer/guarantor credit. Secondary market liquidity is limited; pricing will reflect hedging costs and selling commissions.
Notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax.
Special tax counsel states the notes will generally require accrual of OID at a determined comparable yield and taxation of payments as interest upon disposition, including automatic calls. Purchasers should expect annual tax inclusions based on the issuer’s comparable yield.
Section 871(m) treatment is expected not to apply to Non‑U.S. Holders based on issuer determinations, but that position is not binding on the IRS; holders should consult tax advisers.
