JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) auto-callable notes link interest to Amazon (AMZN)
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a quarterly contingent interest rate of at least 12.10% per annum (at least $30.25 per $1,000 note per quarter) only if Amazon’s share price on a Review Date is at or above the Interest Barrier, set at 70.00% of the Strike Value, or $160.769.
The notes can be automatically called on any Review Date other than the first and last if Amazon’s share price is at or above the Strike Value of $229.67, with investors receiving principal plus due and unpaid contingent interest. If the notes are not called and Amazon’s final share price on May 25, 2027 is below the Trigger Value (also 70.00% of the Strike Value), repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with Amazon’s decline, and investors may lose all of their investment.
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are not bank deposits or FDIC insured. They will not be listed on any securities exchange. The preliminary estimated value is approximately $970.00 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $950.00, reflecting embedded selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes linked to Amazon stock?
The notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, linked to the performance of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.. They pay contingent interest and can be automatically called early based on Amazon’s share price performance.
How does the contingent interest on the AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $30.25 (at least 3.025% per quarter, or 12.10% per annum) on a Review Date only if Amazon’s closing price is at or above the Interest Barrier of 70.00% of the Strike Value ($160.769). Missed payments can be made later if a future Review Date meets the barrier.
When can the AMJB notes be automatically called?
The notes are automatically called on any Review Date other than the first and final, starting May 26, 2026, if Amazon’s closing price is at or above the Strike Value of $229.67. On an automatic call, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the due Contingent Interest Payment and any previously unpaid contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
What principal risks do investors in these AMJB notes face?
If the notes are not called and Amazon’s Final Value on the last Review Date is below the Trigger Value (70.00% of the Strike Value), the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Stock Return, so investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% Amazon has fallen from the Strike Value and could lose their entire investment.
Do the AMJB notes pay fixed interest or Amazon dividends?
No. Interest is not fixed or guaranteed; it is contingent on Amazon’s share price relative to the Interest Barrier on each Review Date. Investors also do not receive Amazon dividends or any shareholder rights in Amazon stock.
What is the estimated value versus the price to public for the AMJB notes?
The price to public is $1,000 per note. If priced on the described terms, the estimated value would be approximately $970.00 per $1,000, and will not be less than $950.00, due to included selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs.
Are the AMJB notes liquid or exchange-listed?
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and there may be no active secondary market. Any ability to sell before maturity will likely depend on the price at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy the notes, which may be substantially below the original issue price.
