JPMorgan issues Bitcoin-linked Dual Directional Notes

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Dual Directional Review Notes linked to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), with expected pricing on February 23, 2026, settlement on February 26, 2026 and maturity on February 28, 2029.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Dual Directional Review Notes linked to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), with expected pricing on February 23, 2026, settlement on February 26, 2026 and maturity on February 28, 2029. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (CUSIP 46660MZQ1).

The notes feature an automatic call if the Fund’s closing price on any Review Date is >= the Call Value (100% of Initial Value). Call Premium Amounts increase by Review Date (minimums range from 24.00% to 72.00% of $1,000). A Barrier Amount of 55.00% of Initial Value applies at maturity if the notes are not called. If not called and the Final Value >= Barrier, payment = $1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute Fund Return) with an effective cap of 45.00% (maximum $1,450.00 per $1,000). If Final Value < Barrier, payment = $1,000 + ($1,000 × Fund Return) and investors may lose more than 45.00% of principal, potentially all principal.

The notes do not pay interest, are expected to have minimum denominations of $1,000, and are linked to a Fund that seeks to reflect bitcoin’s price; the pricing supplement highlights significant volatility, credit risk of the issuer/guarantor, limited liquidity, and tax uncertainty.

Insights

Structured Products Strategist

Complex capped-call/downside-linked payoff with periodic automatic-call windows.

The structure pairs an automatic-call schedule with rising Call Premium amounts across nine Review Dates and a 55.00% Barrier at maturity; if not called, the payable amount can be the absolute negative return (capped at 45.00%) or the actual Fund return below the Barrier.

Key dependencies include the Fund’s closing prices on the specified Review Dates and the Initial/Final Values determined by the Pricing Date and final Review Date. Timing is explicit: pricing Feb 23, 2026, settlement Feb 26, 2026, maturity Feb 28, 2029.

Credit & Liquidity Analyst

Investor exposure is to issuer/guarantor credit and limited secondary market liquidity.

Payments are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so recovery depends on both entities’ creditworthiness. The document underscores that both credits affect note value.

The notes will not be exchange-listed; secondary trades depend on JPMS willingness to buy. Investors face potential inability to sell and should consider the stated minimum estimated values and commission components in the original issue price.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What are the key dates and term for AMJB Dual Directional Review Notes?

The notes are expected to price on February 23, 2026, settle on February 26, 2026, and mature on February 28, 2029. Review Dates run from February 24, 2027 through the final Review Date on February 23, 2029.

How does the automatic call work for AMJB notes linked to IBIT?

If the Fund’s closing price on any Review Date is >= the Call Value (100% of Initial Value), the notes are automatically called. The cash payment equals $1,000 plus the applicable Call Premium Amount for that Review Date.

What is the Barrier and how does it affect maturity payment for AMJB?

The Barrier Amount is 55.00% of the Initial Value. If not called and Final Value >= Barrier, payment = $1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute Fund Return), capped at $1,450.00 per $1,000. If Final Value < Barrier, payment reflects the Fund Return and principal can be largely lost.

What are the main risks called out for AMJB notes?

Primary risks include bitcoin and Fund volatility, issuer/guarantor credit risk, limited liquidity, absence of interest payments, and potential tax uncertainties as described in the supplement.

What is the maximum potential payment per $1,000 at maturity if conditions apply?

Under the limited circumstance where the Fund Return is negative but Final Value >= Barrier, the effective cap on return is 45.00%, so the maximum payment at maturity is $1,450.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Dual Directional Review Notes Linked to the iShares®
Bitcoin Trust ETF due February 28, 2029
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
• The notes are designed for investors who seek early exit prior to maturity at a premium if, on any Review Date, the
closing price of one share of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, which we refer to as the Fund, is at or above the Call Value.
• The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated is February 24, 2027.
• The notes are also designed for investors who seek a capped, unleveraged return equal to the absolute value of any
depreciation of the Fund at maturity (up to 45.00%) if the Final Value is greater than or equal to 55.00% of the Initial
Value, which we refer to as the Barrier Amount, if the notes have not been automatically called.
• Investors should be willing to forgo interest payments and be willing to accept the risk of losing a significant portion or all
of their principal amount at maturity.
• The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to
as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any
payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit
risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes.
• Investors should be knowledgeable about the risks associated with cryptocurrencies and digital assets because the Fund
seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin and therefore the notes involve significant risks in
investments tracking cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin has historically exhibited high price volatility relative to more
traditional asset classes and has experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so,
which may increase the volatility of the Fund.
• Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
• The notes are expected to price on or about February 23, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about February 26,
2026.
• CUSIP: 46660MZQ1

Automatic Call:
If the closing price of one share of the Fund on any Review Date is
greater than or equal to the Call Value, the notes will be
automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Call Premium Amount
applicable to that Review Date, payable on the applicable Call
Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on the notes.
If the notes are automatically called, you will not benefit from the
absolute return feature that applies to the payment at maturity if the
Final Value is less than the Initial Value but greater than or equal to
the Barrier Amount. Because the absolute return feature does not
apply to the payment upon an automatic call, the payment upon an
automatic call may be significantly less than the payment at
maturity for the same level of change in the Fund.
Payment at Maturity:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value
is greater than or equal to the Barrier Amount, your payment at
maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as
follows: $1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute Fund Return)
This payout formula results in an effective cap of 45.00% on your
return at maturity if the Fund Return is negative. Under these
limited circumstances, your maximum payment at maturity is
$1,450.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value
is less than the Barrier Amount, your payment at maturity per
$1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Fund Return)
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value
is less than the Barrier Amount, you will lose more than 45.00% of
your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal
amount at maturity.
Absolute Fund Return: The absolute value of the Fund Return.
For example, if the Fund Return is -5%, the Absolute Fund Return
will equal 5%.
Fund Return: (Final Value – Initial Value)
Initial Value
Initial Value: The closing price of one share of the Fund on the
Pricing Date
Final Value: The closing price of one share of the Fund on the final
Review Date
Share Adjustment Factor: The Share Adjustment Factor is
referenced in determining the closing price of one share of the
Fund and is set equal to 1.0 on the Pricing Date. The Share
Adjustment Factor is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events affecting the Fund. See “The Underlyings — Funds
— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product
supplement for further information.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
The notes are not commodity futures contracts or swaps and are not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, as
amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The notes are offered pursuant to an exemption from regulation under the Commodity
Exchange Act, commonly known as the hybrid instrument exemption, that is available to securities that have one or more payments
indexed to the value, level or rate of one or more commodities, as set out in section 2(f) of that statute. Accordingly, you are not
afforded any protection provided by the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission.
Any values of the Fund, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of
manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the notes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the notes, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of
the notes or any other party.
Acceleration Upon a Liquidation Event
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under “The Underlyings — Funds — Discontinuation of a Fund; Alternate Calculation of
Closing Price and Trading Price” in the accompanying product supplement, if the Fund (or a successor fund (as defined in the
accompanying product supplement)) is delisted, liquidated or otherwise terminated (each, a “liquidation event”) and the calculation
agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no successor fund is available, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate
the payment on the notes. If we choose to exercise this right, (a) we will provide, or cause the calculation agent to provide, written
notice of our election to exercise this right to the trustee, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, at its New York office, and to
The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, as holder of the notes, (b) the amount due and payable per note upon early acceleration will
be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner on the date on which we (or the
calculation agent) deliver notice of acceleration and (c) that amount will be payable on the fifth business day following the date on which
we (or the calculation agent) deliver notice of acceleration, and the maturity date will be accelerated to that fifth business day. In
determining the amount due and payable upon the occurrence of a liquidation event due to delisting of the Fund, the calculation agent
will consider the last price published by the relevant exchange before such delisting.
We will provide, or will cause the calculation agent to provide, written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the
trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the cash amount due with respect to the notes as promptly as possible and in no event
later than two business days prior to the date on which payment is due.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to a hypothetical Fund, assuming a range of performances for the
hypothetical Fund on the Review Dates.
In addition, the hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
• an Initial Value of $100.00;
• a Call Value of $100.00 (equal to 100.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value);

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term

likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
• YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is less than
the Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial
Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 45.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could
lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
• CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. —
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential
change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit
risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
• AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
—
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase &
Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a
bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in
respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make
payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For more
information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
• THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO ANY CALL PREMIUM AMOUNT PAID ON THE NOTES,
regardless of any appreciation of the Fund, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Fund.
• YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT IF THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN
AUTOMATICALLY CALLED AND THE FUND RETURN IS NEGATIVE —
Because the payment at maturity will not reflect the Absolute Fund Return if the notes have not been automatically called and the
Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount, the Barrier Amount effectively caps your return at maturity if the notes have not been
automatically called and the Fund Return is negative. The maximum payment at maturity if the Fund Return is negative is
$1,450.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
• THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE —
If the Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount and the notes have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the
Barrier Amount will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Fund.
• THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT —
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately one year. There is no
guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar
level of risk. Even in cases where the notes are called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described
on the front cover of this pricing supplement.

PS-6 | Structured Investments
Dual Directional Review Notes Linked to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF
• THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
• YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND OR ITS UNDERLYING ASSET.
• THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE FUND FALLING BELOW THE BARRIER AMOUNT IS
GREATER IF THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE FUND IS VOLATILE.
• WE MAY ACCELERATE YOUR NOTES IF A LIQUIDATION EVENT OCCURS —
If a liquidation event occurs and the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no successor fund is available, we
may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes and pay you an amount determined in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment
may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. For more information, see
“Supplemental Terms of the Notes — Acceleration Upon a Liquidation Event” in this pricing supplement.
• LACK OF LIQUIDITY —
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is
likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
• THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Call Premium Amounts.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
• POTENTIAL CONFLICTS —
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the
value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES —
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the
notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are
included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging
our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may
be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

PS-7 | Structured Investments
Dual Directional Review Notes Linked to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF
• THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME
PERIOD —
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period.
See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
• SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES —
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other
things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and,
also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging
costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the
notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to
the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
• SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS —
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which
may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the price of one share of the Fund. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may
publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or
lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk
Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the
notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Fund
• THE FUND IS NOT AN INVESTMENT COMPANY OR COMMODITY POOL AND WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO REGULATION
UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, OR THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT —
Accordingly, you will not benefit from any regulatory protections afforded to persons who invest in regulated investment companies
or commodity pools.
• THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF THE FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET VOLATILITY,
MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND’S UNDERLYING ASSET AS WELL AS THE NET ASSET
VALUE PER SHARE —
The Fund does not fully replicate the performance of bitcoin, which we refer to as the underlying asset with respect to the Fund,
due to the fees and expenses charged by the Fund or by restrictions on access to the underlying asset due to other circumstances.
Additionally, there is a risk that part or all of the Fund’s holdings in its underlying asset could be lost, stolen or destroyed. Access
to the Fund’s underlying asset could also be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a
terrorist attack or cyberattack). All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Fund and its
underlying asset. In addition, because the shares of the Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market
supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund.
During periods of market volatility, the Fund’s underlying asset may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants
may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely
affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Fund.
Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and
sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Fund may vary substantially from
the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the
performance of its underlying asset as well as the net asset value per share of the Fund, which could materially and adversely
affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
• VOLATILITY RISK —
Greater expected volatility with respect to the Fund indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the Final Value could
be less than the Barrier Amount if the notes have not been automatically called. The Fund’s volatility, however, can change
significantly over the term of the notes. The closing price of one share of the Fund could fall sharply during the term of the notes,

PS-8 | Structured Investments
Dual Directional Review Notes Linked to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF
which could result in you losing a significant portion or all of your principal amount at maturity. In addition, because the Fund is
linked to a single asset, not a diverse basket or a broad-based index, the notes carry greater risk and may be more volatile than
securities linked to the values of a diverse basket or a broad-based index. Furthermore, bitcoin has historically exhibited high
price volatility relative to more traditional asset classes and has experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may
continue to do so, which may increase the volatility of the Fund.
• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS RELATING TO BITCOIN AND THE BITCOIN NETWORK —
The Fund offers exposure to bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital asset designed to act as a medium of exchange and does not represent
legal tender. Use of bitcoin in the retail and commercial marketplace is relatively limited. Bitcoin generally operates without central
authority or banks and is not backed by any government or organized governing body. Digital assets such as bitcoin are new and
novel products, and their value is influenced by a wide variety of factors that are uncertain and difficult to evaluate. Information
about bitcoin holdings is limited, as ownership of bitcoin is semi-anonymous and the supply of accessible bitcoin is unknown.
Bitcoin is an emerging asset class, and regulation in the United States is still developing, including with respect to market integrity,
anti-fraud, anti-manipulation, cybersecurity, surveillance and anti-money laundering. Federal, state and/or foreign governments
may restrict the use and exchange of bitcoin and any such regulatory actions may adversely affect the value of bitcoin. Bitcoin and
the bitcoin network face significant challenges to scaling. Bitcoin has been and may continue to be subject to extreme market
volatility.
Competition from other digital assets or so-called “central bank digital currencies” could adversely affect the value of bitcoin.
Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale sales of bitcoin, which could result in a reduction in the prices of bitcoin and
adversely affect an investment in the notes. Concerns about the perceived or actual environmental or other risks associated with,
or bad publicity regarding, bitcoin may lead to decreased participation in the bitcoin network or decreased interest in or use of
bitcoin, which could adversely affect the value of bitcoin and therefore the value of and return on the notes. The value of bitcoin
may fall sharply, and potentially to zero, causing you to lose a significant portion or all of your principal amount at maturity. If
bitcoin continues to be subject to sharp fluctuations, the Fund and the notes may be adversely affected.
The value of bitcoin could be adversely affected by the actions of bitcoin miners. Your investment in the notes could also be
adversely affected by a temporary or permanent “fork” (or “split”) of the bitcoin network and the blockchain, with one version
running pre-modified software and the other running modified software. Even when held indirectly, investment vehicles like the
Fund may be affected by the high volatility associated with bitcoin exposure. Bitcoin is susceptible to theft, loss, destruction and
fraud.
Bitcoin exchanges and other trading venues on which bitcoin trades are also relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated
and may therefore be more exposed to operational problems, fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for
securities, derivatives and other currencies. Bitcoin exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud,
technical glitches, internet disruptions, hackers or malware (e.g., intentional network attacks), which may also affect the price of
bitcoin. Events that negatively affect bitcoin may negatively affect the performance of the Fund and the notes.
• LIMITED TRADING HISTORY —
The Fund commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on January 11, 2024 and therefore has limited historical performance.
Accordingly, historical information for the Fund is available only since that date. Past performance should not be considered
indicative of future performance.
• THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED —
The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund.
However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Fund. If an
event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and
adversely affected.

The Fund
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin before the payment of its
expenses and liabilities. The assets of the Fund consist primarily of bitcoin held by the bitcoin custodian on behalf of the Fund. For
additional information about the Fund, see Annex A below.
Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Fund based on the weekly historical closing prices of one share of the
Fund from January 12, 2024 through February 13, 2026. The Fund commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on January 11,
2024 and therefore has limited historical performance. The closing price of one share of the Fund on February 19, 2026 was $38.07.
We obtained the closing prices above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent
verification. The closing prices above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the Fund, such as stock
splits.
The historical closing prices of one share of the Fund should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can
be given as to the closing price of one share of the Fund on the Pricing Date or any Review Date. There can be no assurance that the
performance of the Fund will result in the return of any of your principal amount.
Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax
counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions”
that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the
accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-
term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue
price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the
notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on
the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on
whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a
number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as
the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated
accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject
to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary
income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates,
any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the

PS-10 | Structured Investments
Dual Directional Review Notes Linked to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the
U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented
by this notice.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the
notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at
any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference
may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove
to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal
funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market
prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on
various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, interest rates and other factors, as well as
assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when the
terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On
future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions
paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming
risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because
hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that
is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging
profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The
Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by
JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates
for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the
stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a
profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as
determined by our affiliates. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May
Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Fund” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable
agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any
changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase.
You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
You should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying
prospectus supplement relating to our Series A medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, the accompanying prospectus
addendum and the more detailed information contained in the accompanying product supplement. This pricing supplement, together

Annex A
The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF
All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF (the “IBIT Fund”) has been derived from
publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the
sponsor of the IBIT Fund, iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC (“iShares Delaware”), an indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc.
BlackRock Fund Advisors, a California corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., is the trustee of the IBIT Fund.
The Bank of New York Mellon is the cash custodian of the IBIT Fund and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC is the bitcoin
custodian of the IBIT Fund. The IBIT Fund is an investment trust that trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol
“IBIT.”
The IBIT Fund seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin before the payment of its expenses and liabilities. The
assets of the IBIT Fund consist primarily of bitcoin held by the bitcoin custodian on behalf of the IBIT Fund. The IBIT Fund issues blocks
of shares in exchange for deposits of bitcoin and distributes bitcoin in connection with the redemption of blocks of shares. The shares of
the IBIT Fund are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of making an investment similar to an investment in bitcoin.
The shares of the IBIT Fund represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the IBIT Fund. The IBIT Fund
is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of bitcoin and the sponsor of the IBIT
Fund does not actively manage the bitcoin held by the IBIT Fund. The trustee of the IBIT Fund sells bitcoin held by the IBIT Fund to pay
the IBIT Fund’s expenses on an as-needed basis irrespective of then-current bitcoin prices.
Currently, the IBIT Fund’s only ordinary recurring expense is expected to be iShares Delaware’s fee, which is accrued daily at an
annualized rate equal to 0.25% of the net asset value of the IBIT Fund and is payable at least quarterly in arrears. The trustee of the
IBIT Fund will, when directed by iShares Delaware, and, in the absence of such direction, may, in its discretion, sell bitcoin in such
quantity and at such times as may be necessary to permit payment of iShares Delaware’s fee and of expenses or liabilities of the IBIT
Fund not assumed by iShares Delaware. As a result of the recurring sales of bitcoin necessary to pay the IBIT Fund sponsor’s fee and
the IBIT Fund expenses or liabilities not assumed by the IBIT Fund sponsor, the net asset value of the IBIT Fund and, correspondingly,
the fractional amount of bitcoin represented by each share will decrease over the life of the IBIT Fund. New deposits of bitcoin, received
in exchange for additional new issuances of shares by the IBIT Fund, do not reverse this trend.
Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the IBIT Fund pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 333-272680 and 001-41914, respectively,
through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The IBIT Fund is not a mutual fund or any other type of investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder. The IBIT Fund is not a
commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder, and
iShares Delaware is not subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator or a
commodity trading advisor.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital asset the ownership and behavior of which are determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network that
connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the bitcoin
network, commonly referred to as the bitcoin protocol. The value of bitcoin, like the value of other digital assets, is not backed by any
government, corporation or other identified body. Ownership and the ability to transfer or take other actions with respect to bitcoin are
protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is constrained or formulated by its protocol instead of being explicitly
delegated to an identified body (e.g., a central bank) to control. Units of bitcoin, called tokens, are treated as fungible. Bitcoin and
certain other types of digital assets are often referred to as digital currencies or cryptocurrencies. No single entity owns or operates the
bitcoin network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer
software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “miners”), (2) developers who propose
improvements to the bitcoin protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose what bitcoin software to run.
Bitcoin was released in 2009 and, as a result, there is little data on its long-term investment potential. Bitcoin is not backed by a
government-issued legal tender or any other currency or asset. Bitcoin is “stored” or reflected on a digital transaction ledger commonly
known as a “blockchain.” A blockchain is a type of shared and continually reconciled database, stored in a decentralized manner on the
computers of certain users of the digital asset. Bitcoin is created by “mining.” Mining involves miners using a sophisticated computer
program to repeatedly solve very complex mathematical problems on specialized computer hardware. Miners can be bitcoin
enthusiasts but increasingly are professional mining operations that design and build dedicated machines and data centers as the
computing power required to solve the problem continues to increase significantly.
