AMJB structured notes: JPMorgan 7.05% contingent interest, 70% barriers
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $730,000 of auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of 7.05% per annum (0.5875% per month) only if on each Interest Review Date all three indices are at or above 70% of their Initial Value. The notes are automatically called on certain quarterly dates if each index is at or above its Initial Value, returning principal plus that period’s interest.
If the notes are not called and any index finishes below its 70% Trigger Value at maturity on November 26, 2027, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index and can lose their entire investment. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor. The price to public is $1,000 per note, including $27 in selling commissions, while the initial estimated value is $942.40 per $1,000 note.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan symbol AMJB’s 7.05% auto callable note offering?
AMJB relates to Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, linked to the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500, with a contingent coupon of 7.05% per annum and potential loss of principal.
How do the contingent interest payments work on the AMJB structured notes?
Each month, investors receive $5.875 per $1,000 note (7.05% per annum) only if the closing level of each index is at least 70% of its Initial Value on the applicable Interest Review Date; otherwise no interest is paid for that period.
When can JPMorgan’s AMJB notes be automatically called?
On specified quarterly Autocall Review Dates beginning August 21, 2026, if each index is at or above its Initial Value, the notes are automatically called and investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest, with no further payments.
What are the principal risks of investing in JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes?
Key risks include loss of more than 30% and up to all principal if any index finishes below its 70% Trigger Value at maturity, the possibility of receiving no interest at all, exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan entities and potential illiquidity since the notes are not exchange-listed.
Why is the estimated value of the AMJB notes lower than the price to public?
The initial estimated value is $942.40 per $1,000 note, lower than the $1,000 price to public, because that price includes selling commissions of $27 per note, projected hedging profits and hedging costs borne by JPMorgan and its affiliates.
How do the underlying indices affect returns on JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Interest and principal depend on the worst-performing index. Any index below its 70% Interest Barrier on a review date cancels that period’s coupon, and any index below its 70% Trigger Value at maturity causes a loss based on the decline of the Least Performing Index.
What are the tax considerations mentioned for AMJB note investors?
JPMorgan intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with contingent coupons for U.S. tax purposes, with Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income. Non-U.S. holders may face 30% withholding on interest, subject to treaty relief and certification.
