High-yield JPMorgan (AMJB) notes offer 12.5% contingent interest with index risk
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is issuing $1,090,000 of Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the Russell 2000, Nasdaq‑100 and EURO STOXX 50 indices, maturing on January 25, 2029. The notes pay a 12.50% per annum contingent coupon (3.125% per quarter) of $31.25 per $1,000 only if, on every day in a quarter, each index stays at or above 70% of its strike level.
The issuer can redeem the notes early on any interest payment date from April 24, 2026, paying $1,000 plus any due contingent interest. If the notes are not redeemed and any index finishes below 60% of its strike at maturity, investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline in the worst‑performing index, and can lose their entire investment. The notes are unsecured, not listed on an exchange, and their initial estimated value is $975.80 per $1,000, below the $1,000 issue price.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan note AMJB and what does this 424B2 describe?
This document describes Callable Contingent Interest Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with a total principal amount of $1,090,000, linked to the Russell 2000, Nasdaq‑100 and EURO STOXX 50 indices and maturing on January 25, 2029.
How do the contingent interest payments on AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors may receive a $31.25 quarterly Contingent Interest Payment, equal to a 12.50% per annum rate, but only if on every day in the relevant quarter each index stays at or above 70% of its strike level. If any index falls below its barrier on any day in the quarter, no interest is paid for that period.
What are the trigger levels and principal risk on these JPMorgan notes?
Each index has a Trigger Value at 60% of its strike. If, at maturity, the Final Value of any index is below its Trigger Value and the notes were not called, the repayment per $1,000 note is calculated as $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the worst‑performing index, so investors can lose more than 40% and up to 100% of principal.
Can JPMorgan redeem the AMJB notes before maturity?
Yes. JPMorgan may, at its option, redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on any interest payment date starting April 24, 2026, paying for each $1,000 note $1,000 plus any due contingent interest for the preceding quarter. After early redemption, no further payments are made.
What is the estimated value of these notes compared with the issue price?
The issue price is $1,000 per note, including $2 in selling commissions, while the estimated value at pricing is $975.80 per $1,000. The difference reflects selling, structuring and hedging costs embedded in the original issue price.
Are the AMJB structured notes liquid and are they protected by deposit insurance?
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, and any secondary trading would depend on prices at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may be willing to buy them. They are not bank deposits and are not insured by the FDIC or any government agency.
What credit risks do investors in these JPMorgan notes face?
Payments depend on the credit of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC as issuer and JPMorgan Chase & Co. as guarantor. If either fails to meet its obligations, investors may receive reduced amounts or lose their entire investment, regardless of index performance.
