JPMorgan (AMJB) auto-callable notes tied to Amazon & Broadcom terms
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable dual directional buffered return enhanced notes linked to the lesser performing common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. and Broadcom Inc. The notes may be automatically called on December 29, 2026, paying back principal plus a call premium of at least $170 per $1,000 on January 4, 2027. If not called, at maturity on January 3, 2028 investors receive an uncapped leveraged upside of 2.25× the gain of the lesser performing stock when both finish above their initial values, or a dual-direction positive return based on the absolute move of the lesser performer when its decline is within the 30% buffer.
If either stock falls by more than the 30% buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each percentage point beyond the buffer, up to a maximum loss of 70%. The notes pay no interest and do not provide dividends or shareholder rights. The indicative estimated value is approximately $980 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $950, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB notes described in this 424B2 filing?
The AMJB notes are auto callable dual directional buffered return enhanced notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the lesser performance of Amazon.com, Inc. and Broadcom Inc. common stock.
How does the automatic call feature work on the AMJB notes?
The notes are automatically called if, on the December 29, 2026 review date, the closing price of one share of each reference stock is at or above its 100% Call Value. In that case, investors receive $1,000 principal plus a Call Premium Amount of at least $170 per $1,000 on the January 4, 2027 call settlement date, and no further payments are made.
What is the upside return potential on the JPMorgan AMJB notes if they are not called?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of each stock is above its Initial Value at the December 29, 2027 observation date, the maturity payment equals $1,000 plus 2.25 times the Lesser Performing Stock Return. If the lesser performer is flat or down by up to the 30% buffer, the maturity payment equals $1,000 plus the absolute percentage move of the lesser performer, capped at a maximum of $1,300 per $1,000 when that return is negative.
How much principal can be lost on the AMJB notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of either reference stock is below its Initial Value by more than the 30% buffer, investors lose 1% of principal for each percentage point that the Lesser Performing Reference Stock is below its Initial Value beyond the buffer. In an extreme case where the lesser performer falls 100%, the maturity payment would be $300 per $1,000, a 70% loss.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends or any voting or other shareholder rights in Amazon.com, Inc. or Broadcom Inc. All return comes from the automatic call payment or the payment at maturity.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes relative to the price to public?
If priced on the date described, the estimated value would be approximately $980 per $1,000 principal amount note, and when set it will not be less than $950 per $1,000. This is lower than the price to public because it reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs.
What key risks are highlighted for investors in the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Highlighted risks include potential loss of up to 70% of principal, limited upside if the notes are called (only the Call Premium Amount), credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no interest or dividends, and likely illiquidity and secondary market prices below the original issue price.
