FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes with a total principal amount of $269,000, linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index, Russell 2000 Index and S&P 500 Index, and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How do the uncapped accelerated barrier notes linked to NDX, RTY and SPX work?
At maturity, if the Final Value of each index is above its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the Least Performing Index Return × 1.677. If any index ends below its Initial Value but all stay at or above 70% of Initial Value, investors receive only their principal. If any index finishes below its 70% barrier, the payout is $1,000 plus the Least Performing Index Return, so losses match the index decline and can reach 100% of principal.
What are the key risks of these JPMorgan structured notes for AMJB investors?
Key risks include the possibility of losing some or all principal if any index closes below its 70% barrier, no interest or dividend payments, and credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity depends on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to repurchase them, and secondary prices may be substantially below the original issue price.

The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000, a Pricing Date of December 12, 2025, expected settlement on or about December 17, 2025, an Observation Date of December 12, 2030 and a Maturity Date of December 17, 2030. The Upside Leverage Factor is 1.677, and the Barrier Amount for each index is 70% of its Initial Value.
How does the pricing and estimated value of these JPMorgan notes compare?
The notes are sold at a price to public of $1,000 per note. Selling commissions are $6.50 per $1,000, so proceeds to the issuer are $993.50 per note. The estimated value at pricing is $964.80 per $1,000 principal amount, reflecting selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs built into the issue price.
Do investors in the AMJB-linked barrier notes receive interest or dividends?

What tax considerations are highlighted for holders of these JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are expected to be treated as open transactions that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, so gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if held for more than one year.

Investors are urged to consult their tax advisers.
