JPMorgan (AMJB) pricing notes linked to J.P. Morgan Dynamic Blend Index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Step-Up Auto Callable Notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Dynamic BlendSM Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are designed to return principal at maturity if they are not called, while providing step-up call premiums or index-linked upside.
The notes may be automatically called as early as February 2027 if, on a Review Date, the Index closes at or above a specified Call Value. In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus a Call Premium Amount that steps up from at least 9% to at least 54% of principal over six call dates, and no further payments. If the notes are not called and the Index ends above its initial level, maturity payment adds 100% of the Index’s positive return; if the Index is flat or down, investors receive only principal.
The underlying Index is a rules-based strategy that allocates between U.S. large-cap equity futures and 2-year U.S. Treasury futures, targets 3.0% volatility, and deducts a 0.95% per annum fee. The notes pay no periodic interest, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and their estimated initial value is expected to be between $880 and approximately $905.70 per $1,000 principal amount.

What are the main risks of investing in the JPMorgan Step-Up Auto Callable Notes (AMJB)?
Key risks include: the notes may return only principal at maturity if the Index does not rise; the upside is capped at the Call Premium if auto-called; the Index is reduced by a 0.95% per annum fee; the notes are unsecured and depend on the credit of JPMorgan entities; they are not listed and may have limited liquidity; and the internal estimated value is lower than the $1,000 issue price.
How is the estimated value of these JPMorgan Dynamic BlendSM Index notes determined?
The estimated value, illustrated as approximately $905.70 per $1,000 note and not less than $880.00, is based on a fixed-income component discounted at an internal funding rate plus derivatives tied to the Index. It excludes certain selling costs and hedging profits that are included in the $1,000 price to the public.
How are these AMJB notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
According to the issuer’s tax counsel, the notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. U.S. holders generally must accrue original issue discount based on a comparable yield and recognize interest income over the life of the notes, with gains or losses recognized upon sale, automatic call, or maturity.
