JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) issues buffered digital notes linked to major equity indices
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $520,000 of Buffered Digital Notes linked to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a fixed 10.40% return at maturity on January 14, 2027 if the least performing index is at or above its initial level, or down by no more than the 15.00% buffer.
If any index falls by more than 15.00%, repayment is reduced on a one-for-one basis beyond the buffer, and investors can lose up to 85.00% of principal. The price to the public is $1,000 per note, with an estimated value of $981.00 per $1,000 at pricing, reflecting selling commissions and hedging costs. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are not expected to be listed, which may limit liquidity.

FAQ
What are the key terms of JPMorgan AMJB Buffered Digital Notes?
The notes have a 10.40% contingent digital return, a 15.00% buffer, price at $1,000 per note with minimum denominations of $1,000, and mature on January 14, 2027. They are linked to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index and are guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How does the 10.40% contingent digital return on the AMJB notes work?
At maturity, if each index’s Final Value is at or above its Initial Value, or down by no more than the 15.00% buffer, investors receive $1,104.00 per $1,000 principal amount note (principal plus the 10.40% contingent digital return), regardless of how much the indices have risen within that range.
When can investors in JPMorgan AMJB Buffered Digital Notes lose principal?
If the Final Value of any index is more than 15.00% below its Initial Value, the payment at maturity is reduced by 1% for each 1% decline beyond the buffer, based on the least performing index. In an extreme scenario where that index falls 100.00%, investors would receive $150.00 per $1,000 note, losing 85.00% of principal.
What is the total size and estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes offering?
The total offering size is $520,000. The price to the public is $1,000 per note, and the estimated value at pricing is $981.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, reflecting selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs.
Do JPMorgan AMJB Buffered Digital Notes pay interest or dividends?
The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends from any securities in the underlying indices. All potential return is realized only at maturity through the contingent digital payoff, if conditions are met.
What are the main risks of investing in JPMorgan AMJB Buffered Digital Notes?
Key risks include potential loss of up to 85.00% of principal, exposure to the least performing of the three indices, lack of liquidity because the notes are not listed, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The estimated value is lower than the issue price, and secondary market prices are expected to be below $1,000.
What indices are linked to JPMorgan AMJB Buffered Digital Notes and why does that matter?
The notes are linked to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index. This ties performance to U.S. technology stocks (including non-U.S. issuers), small-cap U.S. stocks and large-cap U.S. equities, and the payoff depends on the worst performer among them.
