JPMorgan (AMJB) offers auto-call notes linked to Target stock
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Target Corporation, maturing on January 27, 2028. The notes are issued in $1,000 denominations.
Investors may receive a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $25.00 per $1,000 (a rate of at least 10.00% per year) if on a Review Date the Target share price is at least 55.00% of the Initial Value (the Interest Barrier). Missed coupons can be paid later if a future Review Date meets the barrier.
The notes are auto callable from July 23, 2026: if on any Review Date (other than the first and final) Target’s price is at or above the Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the current and any unpaid coupons, and the notes terminate.
If not called, and the Final Value on the last Review Date is at least 55.00% of the Initial Value (the Trigger Value), investors receive $1,000 plus the final and any unpaid coupons. If the Final Value is below the Trigger Value, repayment is reduced in line with Target’s percentage loss, and investors can lose more than 45% and up to all of their principal.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial, subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor, are not listed, and may have limited liquidity. Selling commissions are up to $17.50 and a structuring fee up to $1.00 per $1,000 note. The indicative estimated value is about $970.00 and will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 at pricing.
