JPMorgan (AMJB) sells 8.45% auto callable notes tied to S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and VanEck Semiconductor ETF
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering $600,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least-performing of the S&P 500 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Index and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, due January 27, 2031. The notes pay a quarterly contingent interest rate of 8.45% per annum ($21.125 per $1,000) only if on a Review Date each underlying is at or above 70% of its initial value; otherwise no interest is paid for that period.
Starting with the fourth Review Date, the notes are automatically called if each underlying is at or above its initial value, returning $1,000 plus the applicable interest, and ending the investment early. If the notes are not called and, at maturity, any underlying is below 60% of its initial value, principal is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst performer, and investors can lose more than 40% and up to all of their principal.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor. The price to public is $1,000 per note, with selling fees of $41.25 per note and net proceeds of $958.75 per note to the issuer. The estimated value at pricing was $912.50 per $1,000, reflecting embedded costs, and the notes will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited.

FAQ
What security is JPMorgan offering in this 424B2 related to AMJB?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Index and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with a total offering size of $600,000 and a scheduled maturity on January 27, 2031.
How do the contingent interest payments on these JPMorgan notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of $21.125 (an 8.45% annual rate, paid quarterly at 2.1125%) on any Review Date when the closing value of each underlying is at or above 70% of its initial value, called the Interest Barrier. If any underlying closes below its Interest Barrier on a Review Date, no interest is paid for that period.
When can these JPMorgan auto callable notes be called early?
Beginning with the fourth Review Date, the notes are automatically called if the closing value of each underlying is at or above its initial value. On an automatic call, investors receive, for each $1,000 note, $1,000 plus the applicable contingent interest on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What principal protection do these notes linked to the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and VanEck Semiconductor ETF provide?
The notes do not guarantee repayment of principal. If the notes are not called and, on the final Review Date, the Final Value of any underlying is below 60% of its initial value (the Trigger Value), the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least-performing underlying, so investors lose more than 40% of principal and could lose it all.
What are the key risks disclosed for investors considering these AMJB-linked JPMorgan notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing a significant portion or all principal, the risk that no contingent interest is paid if any underlying stays below its Interest Barrier on Review Dates, credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no listing and potentially limited secondary market liquidity, and exposure to concentration and volatility in the semiconductor industry through the VanEck Semiconductor ETF.
How do the pricing and estimated value of these JPMorgan structured notes compare?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, including selling commissions of $41.25 per note, resulting in $958.75 in proceeds to the issuer per note. JPMorgan estimates the initial economic value at $912.50 per $1,000 note, with the difference reflecting selling commissions, hedging-related costs and projected profits.
