JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: AMJB) offers index-linked Review Notes with barrier
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $1,023,000 of structured "Review Notes" linked to the lesser performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and the Nasdaq-100 Index®, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes have $1,000 minimum denominations, priced on December 12, 2025 and expected to settle on or about December 17, 2025, and are scheduled to mature on December 17, 2029.
The notes may be automatically called as early as December 15, 2026 if each index is at or above its Call Value, paying back principal plus a call premium that steps up from 10% to 40% of face value over the four Review Dates. If not called, investors receive full principal at maturity only if each index finishes at or above 70% of its Initial Value; otherwise the payoff is reduced one-for-one with the loss on the lesser-performing index, and investors can lose most or all of their principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan entities, and had an estimated value of $952.80 per $1,000 at pricing, below the price to public due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.

FAQ
What type of security is AMJB offering in this 424B2 filing?
The filing describes structured Review Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations that pay no interest and are linked to the lesser performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and the Nasdaq-100 Index® over a term running to December 17, 2029.
How do the automatic call and call premiums work on these JPMorgan notes (AMJB)?
On each Review Date (December 15, 2026; December 13, 2027; December 12, 2028; and December 12, 2029), if the closing level of each index is at or above its Call Value (100% of its Initial Value), the notes are automatically called. In that case, investors receive $1,000 per note plus a Call Premium Amount that steps up by 10% of face value per year: $100 on the first Review Date, $200 on the second, $300 on the third and $400 on the final Review Date. After an automatic call, no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity if the AMJB notes are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of each index is at or above its Barrier Amount (70% of its Initial Value), investors receive the full $1,000 principal per note at maturity. If the Final Value of either index is below its Barrier Amount, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus $1,000 multiplied by the Lesser Performing Index Return, so the payoff decreases in line with the loss on the worse-performing index and investors can lose more than 30% and up to all of their principal.
What are the key risks of investing in these JPMorgan Review Notes linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq-100?
The notes do not guarantee principal; if the lesser-performing index finishes below its Barrier Amount and the notes are not called, investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline from the Initial Value, potentially losing their entire investment. The notes pay no interest and provide no dividends from index components. They are exposed to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured, and may be illiquid because they are not listed on any exchange and secondary prices are expected to be below the original issue price.
How do the Initial Value, Call Value and Barrier Amount work for the indices in this AMJB-linked note?
The Initial Value of each index is its closing level on the pricing date, specified as 48,458.05 for the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and 25,196.73 for the Nasdaq-100 Index®. The Call Value for each index is 100% of its Initial Value, and the Barrier Amount is 70% of its Initial Value, set at 33,920.635 for the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and 17,637.711 for the Nasdaq-100 Index®. These levels determine whether the notes are called early and whether principal is protected at maturity.
Why is the estimated value of the AMJB notes lower than the price to public?
The estimated value at pricing was $952.80 per $1,000 principal amount note, lower than the $1,000 price to public. The difference reflects selling commissions, a structuring fee, projected profits from hedging and the estimated cost of hedging the issuer’s obligations. The estimated value is based on an internal funding rate and derivative pricing models and does not represent future trading prices or a minimum resale value.
Do the AMJB structured notes pay interest or provide any rights in the underlying indices?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors will not receive dividends on the securities included in either index or have any voting or other rights with respect to those securities. Returns, if any, come only from an automatic call premium or the final payoff at maturity based on the performance of the two indices as described.
