FAQ
What security is JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC (AMJB) offering in this 424B2?
The company is offering Capped Dual Directional Buffered Return Enhanced Notes linked to the lesser performer of the S&P 500 Index and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, maturing on July 21, 2027, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How do the upside and downside mechanics work for the AMJB structured notes?
If both underlyings finish above their initial values, holders receive principal plus 1.50x the Lesser Performing Underlying Return, capped at a Maximum Upside Return of at least 17%. If the lesser performer is flat or down by up to the 10% Buffer Amount, the notes pay principal plus the absolute decline of the lesser performer, up to a 10% gain. If either underlying falls by more than 10%, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% drop beyond the buffer.
What is the potential loss of principal on these JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes do not guarantee return of principal. If the Final Value of either underlying is more than 10% below its Initial Value, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% drop beyond 10%, up to a maximum loss of 90% of principal if the lesser-performing underlying declines by 100%.
Do the AMJB capped dual directional buffered notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and holders will not receive dividends on the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF or on the securities in the S&P 500 Index. All potential return is realized only at maturity, based on the performance of the lesser-performing underlying.
What is the estimated value of these JPMorgan structured notes relative to the price to public?
If priced on the date referenced, the estimated value would be approximately $972 per $1,000 principal amount note, and at pricing it will not be less than $900 per $1,000. The original issue price of $1,000 per note includes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs, so it exceeds the estimated value.
