Callable bank-stock note from JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) offers 11.25%
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured, unsubordinated Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the worst performer among Fifth Third Bancorp, Regions Financial Corporation and KeyCorp, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes run to January 24, 2031 and may be redeemed early at the issuer’s option on quarterly Interest Payment Dates starting April 23, 2026.
Holders can receive a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $28.125 per $1,000 (at least 11.25% per annum) for any Review Date on which each stock closes at or above 60.00% of its Initial Value, but no interest is paid if any stock is below this barrier. If held to maturity and any stock finishes below its 60.00% Trigger Value, principal is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the least performing stock and investors can lose more than 40.00% or all of their investment.
The preliminary estimated value is approximately $925.00 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00, reflecting embedded selling, structuring and hedging costs.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan’s AMJB 424B2 Callable Contingent Interest Note?
The note is a structured debt security issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pays contingent quarterly interest based on the performance of the common stock of Fifth Third Bancorp, Regions Financial Corporation and KeyCorp. Payments and return of principal depend on how each stock performs relative to specified barriers and trigger levels.
How does the 11.25% contingent interest on the AMJB note work?
For each $1,000 principal amount, holders receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $28.125 (equivalent to a Contingent Interest Rate of at least 11.25% per annum, or at least 2.8125% per quarter) on an Interest Payment Date only if, on the corresponding Review Date, the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock is at or above its 60.00% Interest Barrier. If any stock is below its barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
What are the key risk barriers and trigger levels for the AMJB note?
Each Reference Stock has an Interest Barrier and Trigger Value equal to 60.00% of its Initial Value. If on a Review Date any stock closes below its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment is made for that quarter. At maturity, if the Final Value of any stock is below its 60.00% Trigger Value, the repayment of principal is reduced by the full negative return of the Least Performing Reference Stock, which can result in losing more than 40.00% and up to all of the principal.
When can JPMorgan redeem the AMJB Callable Contingent Interest Notes early?
The issuer may, at its election, redeem the notes early in whole (but not in part) on any Interest Payment Date other than the final one, starting on April 23, 2026. On early redemption, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any Contingent Interest Payment due for the immediately preceding Review Date, and no further interest or principal payments are made.
What happens at maturity if I hold the AMJB note until January 24, 2031?
If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of each Reference Stock is at or above its 60.00% Trigger Value, holders receive $1,000 per note plus the final Contingent Interest Payment. If any stock finishes below its Trigger Value, the maturity payment is calculated as $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Stock Return), so principal falls in line with the worst stock’s loss.
What is the estimated value versus the price to public for the AMJB note?
If priced on the date shown, the estimated value would be approximately $925.00 per $1,000 principal amount, and when finalized it will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. This is below the price to public because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs that are included in the original issue price.
Are the AMJB Callable Contingent Interest Notes insured or linked to dividends?
The notes are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC or any governmental agency, and are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Financial. Holders do not receive dividends on Fifth Third Bancorp, Regions Financial Corporation or KeyCorp shares and have no shareholder rights in the Reference Stocks.
