JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) prices auto callable OXY-linked contingent interest notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $1,697,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the common stock of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, due December 16, 2027, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes pay a contingent coupon of 10.00% per annum, or $25 per $1,000 each quarter, but only if OXY’s closing price on a Review Date is at least 60% of the Initial Value, set at $41.07 (Interest Barrier and Trigger Value $24.642). The notes may be automatically called starting June 12, 2026 if OXY is at or above the Initial Value, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable interest and no further payments.
If the notes are not called and OXY finishes below the Trigger Value at maturity, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with the stock loss, so investors can lose more than 40% and up to all of their investment. The price to public is $1,000 per note, including $18.50 in fees and commissions, while the issuer’s estimated value is $967.40 per $1,000. The notes are unsecured, not listed, and subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
The company is offering $1,697,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the common stock of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY), maturing on December 16, 2027 and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB notes work?
Each $1,000 note can pay a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of $25.00, equal to a 10.00% per annum rate, if on the relevant Review Date OXY’s closing price is at least 60.00% of the Initial Value. If OXY is below this Interest Barrier on a Review Date, no interest is paid for that period.
Under what conditions are the AMJB notes automatically called early?
On any Review Date other than the first and final, starting June 12, 2026, if OXY’s closing price is at least the Initial Value of $41.07, the notes are automatically called. Holders then receive $1,000 plus the applicable contingent interest per note on the Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What principal risks do investors in the AMJB notes face at maturity?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of OXY is below the Trigger Value of 60% of the Initial Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is calculated as $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return). This means investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% OXY has fallen from the Initial Value, and can lose more than 40% or even all of their principal.
How do fees and estimated value compare to the price of the AMJB notes?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, including total fees and commissions of $18.50 ($17.50 selling commission and $1.00 structuring fee). The issuer’s estimated value at pricing is $967.40 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.
Are the AMJB notes protected by deposit insurance or backed by collateral?
No. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., but they are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC or any government agency, and are not secured by collateral.
Will the AMJB auto callable notes be listed on a securities exchange?
No. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Any liquidity would depend on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy the notes in the secondary market, and secondary prices are expected to be below the original issue price.
