AMJB structured notes: high-rate callable interest tied to RTY, RSP, GDX
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, maturing on December 6, 2028. The notes pay a monthly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $12.2917 per $1,000 (a rate of at least 14.75% per annum) for any Review Date on which the closing value of each underlying is at or above 70% of its Initial Value.
The issuer can redeem the notes early, in whole, on specified Interest Payment Dates starting June 4, 2026, paying $1,000 per note plus any applicable Contingent Interest Payment. If held to maturity and any underlying finishes below 60% of its Initial Value, the repayment amount is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the least performing underlying, and holders can lose more than 40% or even all principal.
The price to public is $1,000 per note, with selling commissions not exceeding $7.00 per $1,000. If priced on the example date, the estimated value would be approximately $957.10 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 when finalized. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, will not be listed on any exchange, and do not pay fixed interest or dividends.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2?
The company is offering Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with a scheduled maturity on December 6, 2028.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $12.2917 (at least 14.75% per annum, paid monthly) on any Interest Payment Date if, on the related Review Date, the closing value of each underlying is at or above 70% of its Initial Value. If any underlying closes below its Interest Barrier on a Review Date, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the AMJB structured notes be redeemed early by the issuer?
The issuer may, at its option, redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date other than the first five and the final one. The earliest possible early redemption date is June 4, 2026. On early redemption, holders receive $1,000 per note plus any applicable Contingent Interest Payment for the preceding Review Date.
What principal protection do these JPMorgan contingent interest notes provide?
The notes do not guarantee return of principal. If not redeemed early and, at maturity, the Final Value of any underlying is below 60% of its Initial Value (the Trigger Value), the maturity payment is calculated as $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Underlying Return). In that case, investors lose more than 40% of principal and could lose the entire amount.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes compared with the price to public?
The price to public is $1,000 per note. If the notes priced on the example date, the estimated value would be about $957.10 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs.
What key risks are highlighted for the JPMorgan callable contingent interest notes?
Key disclosed risks include potential loss of principal if any underlying finishes below its Trigger Value, the possibility of no interest payments if any underlying is below its Interest Barrier on Review Dates, credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., potential illiquidity since the notes will not be listed, and the fact that investors do not receive dividends on the ETFs or index components.
How are the AMJB notes expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan expects to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, based on advice from its special tax counsel. The disclosure notes that other reasonable tax treatments are possible and encourages investors to consult their tax advisers.
