JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC priced $489,000 of Step-Up Auto Callable Notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Dynamic Index. The notes priced on March 30, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about April 2, 2026. Each $1,000 note carries a $34 selling commission, an estimated value of $890.20 per $1,000, and a Participation Rate of 100.00%. The notes are automatically callable beginning on April 1, 2027 on scheduled Review Dates for step-up cash call premiums (ranging from $92.50 to $555.00 per $1,000) and mature on April 4, 2033 if not called.

Insights
Product offers step-up call premiums with uncapped, unleveraged upside at maturity but is credit‑ and liquidity‑sensitive.
The notes provide scheduled, increasing call thresholds and fixed call premiums per $1,000 if the Index meets or exceeds rising Call Values on Review Dates beginning April 1, 2027. If not called, holders capture 100% of positive Index appreciation at maturity, net of the Index Deduction of 0.95% per annum.
The economic outcome depends on whether the notes are called (locking the stated call premium) or held to maturity (exposure to Index performance, which is affected by daily rebalancing, potential negative roll returns and the 0.95% daily Index Deduction). Secondary market liquidity and credit spreads of the issuer/guarantor will influence market value.
Notes are treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Special tax counsel concluded the notes should be taxed as contingent payment debt instruments, requiring accrual of original issue discount at a comparable yield of 4.81% and use of a projected payment schedule showing a projected payment of $1,395.32 per $1,000 for tax accrual purposes.
Investors should consult advisers because treatment affects annual OID inclusions, potential Section 871(m) exposure for Non‑U.S. Holders, and differing tax consequences for secondary purchasers versus initial purchasers.
