JPMorgan issues auto-callable contingent interest notes

The notes pay Contingent Interest Payments (at least 1.00% per month, 8.00% minimum over the term) when each underlying is ≥ 85.00% of its Strike Value on a Review Date and may be automatically called beginning April 6, 2026. Principal is at risk if the Final Value of any underlying is below the 15.00% buffer; settlement is expected on or about March 9, 2026.

Insights
Auto-call feature and monthly contingent coupons define payoff and early-exit timing.
The notes provide monthly contingent coupons (minimum 1.00% per month; 8.00% minimum over the term) if each Underlying on a Review Date is ≥ the Interest Barrier (85.00% of Strike Value). The earliest automatic call can occur on April 6, 2026, which may shorten realized duration substantially.
Value to holders depends on each Underlying meeting barriers on discrete Review Dates; actual coupon and final payout mechanics are tied to the Least Performing Underlying and the Buffer Amount (15.00%), so holder outcomes range from capped income to partial or total principal loss.
Payments depend on issuer and guarantor creditworthiness as well as underlying performance.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC with a full, unconditional guarantee from JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payments are therefore subject to the credit risk of both entities; changes in their creditworthiness could materially affect secondary market value and recovery prospects.
Investor recourse in a JPMorgan Chase & Co. resolution would rank the guarantee pari passu with other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations; credit developments should be watched in subsequent filings.
Tax treatment is uncertain; issuer intends treatment as prepaid forwards with contingent coupons.
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income for U.S. holders, based on advice from Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. Alternative treatments are possible and could change timing/character of income.
Section 871(m) implications for Non-U.S. Holders are discussed; withholding may occur and further pricing-supplement tax detail may be provided.
