[424B2] JPMORGAN CHASE & CO Prospectus Supplement
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), each with a $1,000 minimum denomination and maturing on June 7, 2027. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon at a rate of at least 15.00% per annum (at least $12.50 per $1,000) only if AMD’s closing price on a Review Date is at least 50.00% of the Initial Value; missed coupons can be paid later if this condition is met.
The notes are automatically called on designated Review Dates if AMD’s price is at or above the Initial Value, returning principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If not called and AMD’s Final Value is at least 50.00% of the Initial Value, investors receive full principal plus the final and any unpaid contingent interest. If the Final Value is below 50.00% of the Initial Value, repayment is reduced one-for-one with AMD’s decline, so investors can lose more than 50.00% and up to all of their principal.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial, subject to the issuer’s and guarantor’s credit risk, do not pay fixed interest or dividends on AMD, may have limited or no secondary market, and have an estimated value lower than the $1,000 price to public due to selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to AMD?
The notes are auto callable contingent interest securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that provide exposure to the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD). They offer potential high contingent coupons but expose holders to the risk of losing a significant portion or all of their principal.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB AMD-linked notes work?
For each $1,000 note, a monthly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $12.50 (at least 15.00% per annum) is paid on an Interest Payment Date if, on the related Review Date, AMD’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the Initial Value (the Interest Barrier). Missed coupons are carried forward and can be paid later if this barrier is met on a subsequent Review Date; if AMD stays below the barrier on all Review Dates, no interest is ever paid.
When can the AMJB AMD-linked notes be automatically called early?
The notes are automatically called if, on any Review Date other than the first, second and final Review Dates, AMD’s closing price is at least equal to the Initial Value. The earliest possible automatic call date is based on the March 2, 2026 Review Date. Upon automatic call, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment and any previously unpaid contingent interest, and no further payments are due.
What happens at maturity for the AMJB notes if they are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and AMD’s Final Value is at least the Trigger Value of 50.00% of the Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final and any unpaid Contingent Interest Payments. If the Final Value is below the Trigger Value, the maturity payment is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return), where Stock Return = (Final Value – Initial Value) / Initial Value, so losses exceed 50.00% of principal and can reach a full loss.
What are the main risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB AMD-linked notes?
Key risks include: no principal protection (investors can lose more than 50.00% or all of their investment if AMD falls below the Trigger Value), no guaranteed interest (contingent coupons may never be paid), credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no dividends or shareholder rights in AMD, potential illiquidity and secondary market prices likely below the $1,000 issue price.
Why is the estimated value of the AMJB notes lower than the $1,000 price to public?
If the notes priced on the indicated date, the estimated value would be about $961.40 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. This difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs embedded in the issue price, as well as the use of an internal funding rate in the issuer’s valuation models.
How are the JPMorgan AMJB AMD-linked notes expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
The issuer currently intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, with any Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income to U.S. holders, as discussed in the referenced tax section. The tax treatment is subject to confirmation by special tax counsel, and there are alternative reasonable treatments; investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers.
