JPMorgan Auto‑Callable Notes Linked to PLTR
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC offers an Auto Callable Yield Note linked to the Class A common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. The notes mature on March 29, 2030, have a minimum denomination of $1,000, and are expected to price on or about March 26, 2026 with settlement on or about March 31, 2026.
The notes are unsecured obligations of the issuer, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They pay an Interest Rate of at least 11.00% per annum (at least 2.75% per quarter). The notes will be automatically called if the Reference Stock closing price on a Review Date before the final Review Date is greater than or equal to the Initial Value (earliest automatic call date March 29, 2027). At maturity, if not called, payments depend on the Final Value versus a Trigger Value equal to 50.00% of the Initial Value; if Final Value is below the Trigger Value, investors can lose a significant portion or all principal.

Insights
Notes combine high coupon with equity downside exposure and an automatic early‑call feature.
The offering provides a stated Interest Rate of at least 11.00% per annum, payable quarterly, with automatic call mechanics tied to the Reference Stock’s closing price on scheduled Review Dates beginning March 29, 2027. The coupon is independent of upside in the Reference Stock; holders do not participate in stock appreciation.
Key dependencies include the Initial Value set on the Pricing Date and the Final Value on the final Review Date. Cash‑flow treatment and secondary market behaviour will depend on our and JP Morgan Chase & Co. credit spreads and on JPMS’s willingness to provide secondary liquidity.
Tax treatment is complex—issuer intends to treat the notes as a Put plus a Deposit.
Based on counsel advice, the notes are expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as units comprising a cash‑settled Put Option and a Deposit; allocations between Put Premium and interest on the Deposit will be provided in the pricing supplement. A hypothetical allocation (if priced on March 11, 2026) was approximately 41.27% of each Interest Payment to interest on the Deposit.
Section 871(m) withholding was evaluated by the issuer and is not expected to apply to Non‑U.S. Holders under the issuer’s determinations, but the issuer notes the IRS may disagree; consult tax counsel.
