JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) details uncapped barrier notes tied to Dow and S&P 500
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering unsecured Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on January 22, 2031, in minimum denominations of $1,000. At maturity, if both indices finish above their initial levels, holders receive principal plus at least 1.24x the gain of the lesser-performing index. If either index is at or below its initial level but both remain at or above 75% of their initial values, principal is returned. If either index ends below this 75% barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the lesser-performing index, and principal can be fully lost.
The notes pay no interest and provide no dividends from the underlying stocks. The preliminary estimated value would be about $947.60 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $920.00 at pricing, reflecting selling commissions of up to $30.00 and a possible structuring fee of $8.50 per $1,000. The notes are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured, and expose holders to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor, as well as limited liquidity and potentially lower secondary market prices.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 document?
The company is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on January 22, 2031, in minimum denominations of $1,000. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co..
How do the payoff and barrier features of the AMJB-linked notes work at maturity?
If the final level of each index is above its initial level, the holder receives $1,000 plus the lesser-performing index return multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.24. If either index is at or below its initial level but both remain at or above 75% of their initial value, the holder receives the $1,000 principal. If the final level of either index is below 75% of its initial level, the payment becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 times the lesser-performing index return, so losses exceed 25% and can reach a full loss of principal.
What are the main risks of these JPMorgan Chase Financial AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing some or all principal if either index finishes below its 75% barrier, as well as no interest payments and no dividends from index constituents. Investors face the credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are not listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited and any secondary market price is likely to be below the original issue price.
How is the estimated value of the AMJB notes determined and how does it compare to the price to public?
If priced on the reference date in the document, the estimated value would be approximately $947.60 per $1,000 note, and at pricing it will not be less than $920.00 per $1,000. This estimated value is based on an internal funding rate and derivative pricing models of affiliates. It is lower than the original issue price because that price includes selling commissions of up to $30.00 and a possible structuring fee of $8.50 per $1,000, plus projected hedging profits and hedging costs.
What fees and commissions apply to the JPMorgan Chase Financial AMJB barrier notes?
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acting as agent, will pay all selling commissions it receives to affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and these selling commissions will not exceed $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. In addition, JPMS may pay a structuring fee of $8.50 per $1,000 principal amount note on some or all of the notes to affiliated or unaffiliated dealers.
What underlying indices and historical information are relevant for the AMJB notes?
The notes reference the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index. The document provides weekly historical closing levels for these indices from January 3, 2020 through December 26, 2025. It notes that on December 29, 2025, the Dow closed at 48,461.93 and the S&P 500 at 6,905.74, while emphasizing that past performance is not indicative of future results.
What are the key tax considerations mentioned for holders of the AMJB structured 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 be capital if held for more than a year, subject to confirmation by special tax counsel at pricing. The document discusses potential changes from Treasury guidance on prepaid forward contracts and notes that, based on current determinations, Section 871(m) withholding is not expected to apply to Non-U.S. Holders, though the IRS could disagree. Investors are directed to consult their tax advisers.
