JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: AMJB) proposes callable notes tied to Dow, Russell 2000 and S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on November 26, 2031.
The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon at a rate of at least 9.25% per annum (at least 2.3125% per quarter) per $1,000 note, but only if on each Review Date the closing level of every index is at or above 75.00% of its Initial Value, which also serves as the Trigger Value. If any index is below this barrier on a Review Date, no interest is paid for that quarter.
The issuer may redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on specified Interest Payment Dates starting November 27, 2026, paying $1,000 plus any due interest. If the notes are not redeemed early and, on the final Review Date, any index is below its Trigger Value, investors receive $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least performing index, which can result in losing more than 25% and up to all principal.
The preliminary estimated value is approximately $960.80 per $1,000 note, and when finalized will not be less than $940.00 per $1,000, reflecting structuring and hedging costs. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, and are not listed on any exchange.

FAQ
What securities is JPMorgan (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and maturing on November 26, 2031.
How do the contingent interest payments work on the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
For each $1,000 note, investors may receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $23.125 per quarter, equal to a Contingent Interest Rate of at least 9.25% per annum, if on the applicable Review Date the closing level of each index is at or above 75.00% of its Initial Value. If any index is below 75.00% of its Initial Value, no interest is paid for that quarter.
What are the principal repayment terms and downside risks of the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
If the notes are not redeemed early and the Final Value of each index on the final Review Date is at or above its Trigger Value of 75.00% of Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the final contingent coupon per note at maturity.
If the Final Value of any index is below its Trigger Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return), so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the least performing index and can lose more than 25% and up to all principal.
When can the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes be called and at what price?
JPMorgan may redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date other than the first, second, third and final Interest Payment Dates. The earliest possible call date is November 27, 2026.
On an early redemption, holders receive, for each $1,000 note, $1,000 plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment for the immediately preceding Review Date, and no further payments will be made.
What is the estimated value and minimum denomination of the JPMorgan (AMJB) structured notes?
If the notes priced on the reference date in the document, the estimated value would be approximately $960.80 per $1,000 principal amount note. When the terms are set, the estimated value disclosed in the final pricing supplement will not be less than $940.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
The notes have minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
Are the JPMorgan (AMJB) callable contingent interest notes liquid or listed on an exchange?
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Any ability to sell before maturity will depend on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy the notes in the secondary market, and that price is likely to be lower than the original issue price due to internal funding rates, hedging costs and other factors.
How are the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan currently intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as described in the referenced tax section. For Non-U.S. Holders, it is expected that withholding agents will generally withhold 30% U.S. tax (or a reduced treaty rate) on Contingent Interest Payments under an "other income" or similar provision, with no additional amounts paid in respect of such withholding.
