JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) details new uncapped digital barrier notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured, unsubordinated Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes offer uncapped upside at maturity based on the weaker index, with a contingent digital return of at least 45.50% if both final index levels are at or above their initial values, and return of principal if either index is below its initial level but both stay at or above 75% barrier levels. If either index ends below its barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline in the lesser-performing index, so investors can lose more than 25% and up to all principal. The preliminary estimated value is $976.70 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $950 per $1,000. The notes pay no interest, provide no index dividends, will not be listed, and are intended for buy-and-hold investors able to accept issuer, guarantor and market risks through the January 4, 2030 maturity.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan Chase Financial's uncapped digital barrier notes linked to the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 (AMJB)?
These notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are linked to the lesser performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index and are designed for investors seeking equity-linked exposure without interest or dividend payments. The notes have $1,000 minimum denominations and are scheduled to mature on January 4, 2030.
How does the contingent digital return of at least 45.50% work on these AMJB-linked notes?
If on the Observation Date the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal to its Initial Value, the payment at maturity per $1,000 note equals $1,000 plus $1,000 times the greater of (a) the Contingent Digital Return of at least 45.50% and (b) the Lesser Performing Index Return. For example, with a 45.50% Contingent Digital Return, a 10% increase in the lesser-performing index would pay $1,455, while a 50% increase would pay $1,500 per $1,000 note.
What protection does the 75% barrier amount provide on these JPMorgan uncapped digital barrier notes?
Each index has a Barrier Amount equal to 75.00% of its Initial Value. If either index finishes below its Initial Value but the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal to its Barrier Amount, investors receive a full return of principal at maturity. If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount, the payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Lesser Performing Index Return, meaning investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the lesser-performing index and can lose more than 25% and up to all of their investment.
What is the estimated value of these notes versus the $1,000 price to public?
The preliminary disclosure states that, if priced on the date referenced, the estimated value of the notes would be approximately $976.70 per $1,000 principal amount note. It further states that when the terms are set, the estimated value will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. The difference between this estimated value and the $1,000 price to public reflects structuring fees, projected hedging profits or losses, and the estimated cost of hedging obligations under the notes.
Do these JPMorgan structured notes pay interest or dividends, and will they be listed on an exchange?
The notes do not pay interest, and investors will not receive dividends on the securities included in either index or have any rights with respect to those securities. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and any secondary market trading would depend on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy the notes. The notes are described as not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and investors should be able and willing to hold them to maturity.
What are the key dates for these JPMorgan Chase Financial uncapped digital barrier notes?
The notes are expected to have a Pricing Date on or about December 30, 2025 and an Original Issue (Settlement) Date on or about January 5, 2026. The Observation Date for determining Final Values is December 31, 2029, and the scheduled Maturity Date is January 4, 2030, subject to possible postponement for market disruption events as described in the supporting documents.
What major risks are highlighted for investors in these AMJB-related uncapped digital barrier notes?
The risk disclosure states that the notes do not guarantee any return of principal and investors may lose more than 25% and up to all of their investment if either index finishes below its Barrier Amount. Investors are exposed to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., receive no interest or dividends, and face liquidity risk because the notes will not be listed and may only be repurchased, if at all, by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. Additional risks include potential conflicts of interest and the fact that the estimated value is lower than the price to public.
