JPMorgan (AMJB) MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage auto-call notes terms
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, maturing on November 24, 2028. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least 8.25% per annum (0.6875% per month) only when the Index closes at or above 85% of its initial level, with missed coupons potentially paid later if the barrier is met on a future review date.
The notes can be automatically called as early as June 18, 2026 if the Index is at or above 95% of its initial level on designated review dates, returning principal plus due coupons and ending further payments. At maturity, if not called and the Index is at or above the 85% buffer threshold, investors receive principal plus due coupons; if it is below this level, principal is reduced, with up to 85% loss possible.
The Index applies a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost on its QQQ Fund exposure, which drags performance and can cause the Index to lag similar strategies without these charges. The minimum denomination is $1,000, and the indicative estimated value is about $923 per $1,000 note, not less than $900, reflecting fees and hedging costs.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB notes described in this 424B2 filing?
The AMJB notes are Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index and scheduled to mature on November 24, 2028.
How do interest payments work on the JPMorgan AMJB MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index notes?
The notes pay a monthly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $6.875 per $1,000 note (at least 8.25% per annum) only if, on the related review date, the Index closes at or above 85% of its initial value. Missed coupons may be paid later if a subsequent review date meets the barrier.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called and what do investors receive?
Starting with the June 18, 2026 review date, if on any eligible review date the Index closes at or above 95% of its initial value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest and any previously unpaid contingent interest, with no further payments afterward.
What happens at maturity if the JPMorgan AMJB notes are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and on the final review date the Index is at or above the 85% buffer threshold, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final contingent interest and any unpaid prior interest. If the Index is below 85% of its initial value, the maturity payment is reduced using the buffer formula, and investors can lose up to 85% of principal.
How do the 6.0% deduction and notional financing cost affect the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index?
The Index applies a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and subtracts a daily notional financing cost (SOFR plus 0.50% per year) from its QQQ Fund exposure. These charges offset gains, amplify losses and cause the Index to trail an identical index without such deductions, which can lower potential returns on the notes.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes at issuance?
If priced on the indicated date, the estimated value would be approximately $923.00 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 per note when set. This estimate reflects JPMorgan’s internal funding rate, selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs, and is expected to be below the price to the public.
What are the key risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index notes?
Key risks include potential loss of up to 85% of principal, the possibility of receiving no interest payments if the Index stays below the interest barrier, performance drag from the 6.0% annual deduction and notional financing cost, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of listing and limited liquidity, and conflicts of interest since JPMorgan affiliates helped design and have an ownership interest in the Index Sponsor.
