JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes due February 1, 2028, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a Contingent Interest Payment when each referenced index meets an Interest Barrier of 65.00% of its Initial Value and carry a Contingent Interest Rate of at least 10.05% per annum. The notes are linked to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index and will be automatically called if, on certain Review Dates, each Index closes at or above its Initial Value; the earliest automatic call may occur on August 27, 2026. Pricing is expected on or about February 27, 2026 with settlement on or about March 4, 2026. The estimated value at pricing shown in the cover is approximately $976.40 per $1,000 note, with a minimum estimated value floor of $900.00. The notes expose holders to credit risk of the issuer and guarantor, potential loss of principal if the Least Performing Index falls below the Trigger Value, and limited upside (payments capped to Contingent Interest Payments).

Insights
Auto-callable contingent coupon caps upside and ties payments to three indices individually.
The notes provide monthly-contingent coupons at a stated minimum annual rate of 10.05% if all three referenced indices meet an Interest Barrier of 65.00% on a Review Date. Automatic call triggers accelerate return of principal plus that period's contingent coupon if each Index equals or exceeds its Initial Value on certain Review Dates, with the earliest call possible on August 27, 2026.
Risks include exposure to the Least Performing Index at maturity (payment based on the Least Performing Index Return), issuer and guarantor credit risk, and limited participation in any index appreciation. Secondary market liquidity and pricing depend on JPMS willingness to trade and multiple model inputs; timing not specified beyond the listed Review Dates.
Tax treatment is uncertain; the issuer expects to treat the notes as prepaid forwards with contingent coupons.
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with contingent coupons and to treat Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, but this position may be challenged by the IRS. The pricing supplement notes the issuer will seek a special tax counsel opinion and that tax guidance could change the timing or character of income.
Non-U.S. holders may be subject to withholding, including potential 30% withholding on contingent payments absent valid documentation or treaty relief; Section 871(m) determinations are discussed and the issuer expects Section 871(m) not to apply, subject to IRS disagreement. Consult tax counsel for individualized advice.
