FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $1,100,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities.
How do the contingent interest payments work on the AMJB structured notes?
For each $1,000 principal amount note, investors may receive a Contingent Interest Payment of $8.1667 (a 9.80% per annum rate, or 0.81667% per month) on each Interest Payment Date if the Index’s closing level on the related Review Date is at or above the Interest Barrier of 80.00% of the Initial Value (9,703.696). Missed coupons can be paid later if a future Review Date meets the barrier.
When can the AMJB Auto Callable Notes be called early and what do investors receive?
The notes are automatically called if, on any Review Date other than the first through eleventh and final Review Dates, the Index closes at or above its Initial Value of 12,129.62. The earliest call date is December 14, 2026. On a call, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment and any previously unpaid Contingent Interest Payments, with no further payments afterward.
What happens at maturity of these JPMorgan Chase Financial structured notes if they are not called?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of the Index is at or above the 80.00% Buffer Threshold, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final Contingent Interest Payment and any unpaid prior Contingent Interest Payments. If the Final Value is below the Buffer Threshold, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Index Return + 20.00%)], which can result in a loss of up to 80.00% of principal.
How do the Index deductions and leverage affect the AMJB notes’ risk/return profile?
The MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a daily notional financing cost tied to SOFR plus 0.50% per annum, which together act as a drag on performance and cause the Index to trail a similar index without such deductions. The Index can use leverage up to 500% exposure when implied volatility is below its 35% target volatility, which can magnify both gains and losses and increase risk to noteholders.
What are the key fees, proceeds and estimated value for these JPMorgan Chase Financial notes?
Each note has a price to public of $1,000, with $39.00 in selling commissions and $961.00 in proceeds to the issuer per note. On the pricing date, the estimated value was $911.70 per $1,000 principal amount note, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs included in the issue price.
What are the main risks highlighted for investors considering the AMJB Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes?
Key risks include potential loss of up to 80.00% of principal if the Index declines beyond the 20.00% buffer, the possibility of no interest payments if the Index stays below the Interest Barrier on all Review Dates,
