JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Buffered Digital Notes linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, the Nasdaq-100® and the Russell 2000® Index. The notes provide a Contingent Digital Return of at least 11.60% at maturity if the least performing Index is at or above its Initial Value or declines by up to the Buffer Amount of 15.00%. Pricing is expected on or about March 6, 2026 with settlement on or about March 11, 2026, an Observation Date of April 6, 2027 and a Maturity Date of April 9, 2027. The estimated value at pricing is approximately $988.90 per $1,000 principal amount note (not less than $900.00) and the CUSIP is 46660M7H2.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. If the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is more than 15.00% below its Initial Value, principal is reduced dollar-for-dollar beyond the buffer, meaning investors can lose up to 85.00% of principal at maturity. The notes do not pay interest or dividends, are not bank deposits or FDIC-insured, and are not listed, so liquidity may be limited.

Insights
Trade-off: capped fixed payout vs. downside exposure beyond a 15% buffer.
The notes deliver a fixed digital payoff of at least 11.60% if the Least Performing Index is ≥ its Initial Value or falls by up to the 15.00% buffer; otherwise payoff declines by the shortfall beyond that buffer, reducing principal up to 85.00%.
Key dependencies are the closing levels on the Pricing Date and the Observation Date, the issuer/guarantor creditworthiness, and secondary-market liquidity. Pricing and estimated value details (approx. $988.90 per $1,000, floor $900.00) are provided at issuance and affect immediate carried cost versus economic value.
Tax characterization may treat the notes as open transactions; IRS positions could differ.
Special tax counsel opines the notes are reasonably treated as open transactions that are not debt, producing capital gain/loss treatment if held >1 year. That treatment could be challenged by the IRS, which may alter timing/character of income or impose accrual rules.
Section 871(m) was evaluated and, based on issuer determinations, is not expected to apply to Non-U.S. Holders for these notes; the IRS is not bound by that determination and further pricing-supplement details may be provided.
