JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $830,000 of Digital Barrier Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a fixed 9.70% return at maturity on February 19, 2027 if, on the February 16, 2027 observation date, the final level of each index is at least 70% of its initial level. If any index finishes below this 70% barrier, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst index from its initial level, so investors can lose more than 30% and up to all principal. The price to public is $1,000 per note, including $7.25 in selling commissions, for issuer proceeds of $992.75 per note; the estimated value at pricing was $981.70 per $1,000, reflecting embedded costs and hedging.
