JPMorgan structured notes (AMJB) offer Palantir-linked contingent interest
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc., fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Each $1,000 note can pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least $16.2917, equal to a rate of at least 19.55% per year, when Palantir’s share price on a review date is at or above 60% of its initial level.
The notes may be automatically called as early as March 10, 2026 if Palantir closes at or above its initial price on an eligible review date, returning $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and ending future payments. If not called and the final share price is at least 50% of the initial level on June 10, 2027, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any last coupon at maturity on June 15, 2027; below 50%, repayment falls in line with the stock loss, and investors can lose most or all principal. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and have an estimated economic value of about $956.70 per $1,000 today, which the issuer states will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 when terms are finalized.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan’s auto callable contingent interest notes linked to Palantir (AMJB)?
These are structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are linked to the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. and can pay high contingent interest, but principal is at risk and the notes are unsecured, non-deposit obligations.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB Palantir-linked notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $16.2917 (a rate of at least 19.55% per annum, paid monthly) on any review date when Palantir’s closing share price is at or above 60.00% of its initial value. If the price is below that 60% Interest Barrier on a review date, no interest is paid for that month.
When can the AMJB notes be called early and when do they mature?
The notes can be automatically called on any review date other than the first, second and final ones if Palantir’s closing price is at or above its initial value; the earliest possible call date is March 10, 2026. If not called, the notes pay at maturity on June 15, 2027, after the final review date on June 10, 2027.
How much principal risk do investors in AMJB Palantir-linked notes face?
If the notes are not called and the final Palantir price is at or above 50.00% of the initial value (the Trigger Value), investors receive their full $1,000 principal per note plus any final coupon. If the final price is below 50%, the maturity payment equals $1,000 plus $1,000 times the stock return, so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% Palantir has fallen, and may lose more than 50.00% or even all of their principal.
What is the price to public and estimated value for the AMJB notes?
The price to public is $1,000 per note. If the notes priced on the date referenced, the issuer estimates their economic value would be approximately $956.70 per $1,000 principal amount, and states that when the terms are set the estimated value disclosed will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note.
Do AMJB noteholders receive Palantir dividends or stock ownership?
No. Investors in these notes do not receive dividends on Palantir shares and have no voting or ownership rights in Palantir Technologies Inc. Returns come only from the notes’ contingent interest and principal repayment terms, not from direct equity participation.
How are the AMJB Palantir-linked notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, with any Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income. For Non-U.S. holders, a 30% U.S. withholding tax is expected on contingent interest (subject to possible treaty reduction), and the issuer does not agree to pay additional amounts on withheld tax. The tax treatment is uncertain, and investors are urged to consult their tax advisers.
