FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
The filing describes auto callable contingent interest notes fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured debt linked to the Russell 2000 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and the iShares Silver Trust, with a scheduled maturity on February 3, 2031.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a monthly contingent coupon of at least $13.5833 (a rate of at least 16.30% per annum) only if, on that review date, the closing value of each underlying is at or above its 70% interest barrier. If any underlying is below its barrier, no interest is paid for that month.
When can the AMJB notes be automatically called, and what do investors receive?
From the review date on January 29, 2027 onward (excluding the final review date), the notes are automatically called if the closing value of each underlying is at or above its initial value. On the call settlement date, investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable contingent interest payment per note, and no further payments are made.
What are the principal risks at maturity for these AMJB structured notes?
If the notes are not called and, on the final review date, the final value of any underlying is below its 60% trigger value, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least performing underlying. This means investors can lose more than 40% of principal and up to 100% if the worst performer falls to zero.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes versus the price to the public?
If priced on the draft date, the estimated value would be about $869.70 per $1,000 note, and, when finalized, will not be less than $850.00 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 issue price reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs included in the offering price.
What credit and liquidity risks are associated with the AMJB auto callable notes?
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. Payments depend on the credit of both entities. The notes will not be listed on an exchange, and any secondary market would rely mainly on prices at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to trade, which may be below the original issue price.
Which markets and asset classes do the AMJB notes reference?
The notes reference three underlyings: the Russell 2000 Index (U.S. small-cap equities), the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (U.S. regional bank stocks) and the iShares Silver Trust (silver exposure). The payoff depends on the least performing of these over the life of the notes.
