JPMorgan accelerated barrier notes linked to S&P 500 (AMJB) — Mar 2031
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering uncapped accelerated barrier notes linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes price on or about March 24, 2026 and mature on March 27, 2031, with minimum denominations of $1,000.
The notes provide an upside payoff equal to the Index Return multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.7745 if the Final Value exceeds the Initial Value. A Barrier Amount of 70.00% applies: if the Final Value is below that barrier, holders lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the Index and may lose all principal. The estimated value at pricing is approximately $931.50 per $1,000 note (not less than $900.00), and selling commissions will not exceed $41.25 per $1,000.

Insights
Indexed upside with leverage but binary downside at a 70% barrier.
The notes offer leveraged upside (at least 1.7745× Index Return) while preserving principal only if the Final Value is ≥ the Barrier Amount (70.00%). If the Index closes below the barrier on the Observation Date, holders suffer a pro rata loss of principal equal to the Index decline.
Secondary market liquidity is limited (unlisted instrument) and secondary prices will likely be lower than original issue price. Pricing assumptions include an internal funding rate and hedging profits embedded in the issue price; these affect secondary valuations.
Payments depend on issuer and guarantor creditworthiness.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and are fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment depends on both entities’ ability to pay; credit deterioration or default could cause loss of principal irrespective of index performance.
Holders have no claim on an asset portfolio behind the index; cash‑flow treatment and recoveries would follow unsecured creditor priorities. Monitor credit market disclosures for the issuer and guarantor.
Tax treatment is expected but not guaranteed as "open transactions."
JPMorgan expects to treat the notes as "open transactions" not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would generally produce long‑term capital gain or loss if held > one year. That treatment is subject to confirmation by special tax counsel and could be challenged.
Section 871(m) analysis is provided and the issuer expects that withholding will not apply to Non‑U.S. Holders based on determinations made; the IRS could disagree. Consult your tax adviser.
