JPMorgan AMJB 2030 barrier notes tied to global equity basket
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to an unequally weighted basket of the EURO STOXX 50® Index (60%), Nikkei 225 Index (30%) and iShares® China Large-Cap ETF (10%), maturing on December 2, 2030. The notes provide an upside leverage factor of at least 1.54, so if the basket finishes above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.54 times the basket gain per $1,000 note.
If the final basket value is at or above 75% of the initial basket value, investors receive full principal back. If it falls below this barrier, the payoff becomes fully exposed to the basket decline, and investors can lose more than 25% and up to all of their principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends and are subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor.
The minimum denomination is $1,000. If priced on the date referenced, the estimated value would be about $950 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $930 per $1,000 at pricing, reflecting structuring, selling and hedging costs. The notes will not be listed, and secondary market prices are expected to be below the original issue price.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan symbol AMJB offering in this 424B2 filing?
The filing describes Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to a basket of the EURO STOXX 50® Index, Nikkei 225 Index and the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with maturity on December 2, 2030.
How do the Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the basket work at maturity?
If the final basket value is above its initial value, holders receive $1,000 plus the basket return multiplied by an upside leverage factor of at least 1.54. If the final basket value is between 75% and 100% of the initial value, investors receive return of principal. Below 75%, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the basket return, so losses increase one-for-one with further declines.
What are the main risks of the AMJB-linked JPMorgan barrier notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing more than 25% and up to all principal if the basket finishes below 75% of its initial value, no interest or dividend payments, exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., potential limited liquidity since the notes will not be listed, and the chance that secondary market prices are meaningfully below the issue price.
How is the basket for these JPMorgan notes constructed and which index has the most weight?
The basket is unequally weighted: 60.00% EURO STOXX 50® Index, 30.00% Nikkei 225 Index and 10.00% iShares® China Large-Cap ETF. Because the EURO STOXX 50® Index has the largest weight, the market value and final payoff of the notes will generally depend more on its performance.
What is the barrier level on these AMJB-related JPMorgan notes and what does it mean?
The barrier amount is set at 75.00% of the initial basket value. If the final basket value is at or above this level, investors receive full principal back. If it is below this barrier, the benefit of protection ends and investors’ payoff declines in direct proportion to the basket loss, potentially resulting in a full loss of principal.
Why is the estimated value of the JPMorgan Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes below the price to public?
If the notes priced on the described date, the estimated value would be about $950 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $930 per $1,000 at pricing. This is lower than the price to public because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs, all of which are included in the original issue price.
Do the AMJB-linked JPMorgan notes pay interest or provide dividends from the underlying indices and ETF?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and holders do not receive dividends paid on the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF or on the securities in the EURO STOXX 50® Index or Nikkei 225 Index, nor do they have any voting or ownership rights in those underlying assets.
