JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) auto callable Broadcom (AVGO) contingent interest notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes, in $1,000 minimum denominations, are scheduled to mature on December 27, 2030.
Holders may receive a contingent interest rate of at least 12.00% per annum, paid monthly, but only for review dates when Broadcom’s share price is at or above 50.00% of the initial value. The notes are automatically called, with return of principal plus the applicable interest, if on certain review dates the share price reaches at least 110.00% of the initial value. If the notes are not called and the final share price is below the 50.00% trigger, investors lose principal in line with the stock’s decline and can lose their entire investment.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are not bank deposits or FDIC insured. The preliminary estimated value is about $930.00 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00, reflecting embedded costs and hedging. Key risks include equity market risk, issuer and guarantor credit risk, lack of liquidity, tax uncertainty, and the absence of dividends from Broadcom’s stock.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes linked to Broadcom stock?
The notes are structured securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They offer potential contingent interest and exposure to Broadcom’s share price but carry the risk of losing principal based on the stock’s performance.
How do the contingent interest payments on JPMorgan AMJB Broadcom notes work?
For each review date when Broadcom’s closing share price is at or above 50.00% of the initial value (the Interest Barrier), investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $10.00 per $1,000 note, corresponding to a contingent interest rate of at least 12.00% per annum, payable at a rate of at least 1.00% per month.
When are the JPMorgan AMJB Broadcom-linked notes automatically called?
The notes are automatically called if, on any review date other than the first five and the final one, the closing price of one Broadcom share is at or above the Call Value, set at 110.00% of the initial value. On the call settlement date, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity for JPMorgan AMJB notes if they are not called?
If the notes are not automatically called and the final Broadcom share price is at or above the 50.00% Trigger Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final contingent interest payment. If the final price is below the Trigger Value, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 multiplied by the stock return, so investors lose more than 50.00% of principal and could lose all of it.
What are the main risks of investing in JPMorgan AMJB Broadcom-linked notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing a significant portion or all of the principal if Broadcom’s share price falls below the Trigger Value at maturity, and the risk that no contingent interest is paid if the stock stays below the Interest Barrier on review dates. Additional risks are credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity as the notes will not be listed on an exchange, no dividend rights on Broadcom stock, and complex U.S. federal income tax and withholding treatment.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB Broadcom notes versus the price to public?
If issued on the described terms, the estimated value would be approximately $930.00 per $1,000 principal amount note and will not be less than $900.00, while the price to public is $1,000 per note. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs embedded in the original issue price.
How are non-U.S. holders of JPMorgan AMJB Broadcom notes treated for U.S. tax purposes?
The issuer expects withholding agents to withhold 30% U.S. tax (or a treaty-reduced rate) on Contingent Interest Payments to Non-U.S. Holders as “other income” unless proper treaty documentation is provided. The issuer does not expect Section 871(m) dividend equivalent withholding to apply, based on its determinations, but Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers.
