JPMorgan offers auto‑call notes tied to Nasdaq‑Tech and Russell 2000
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector and the Russell 2000® Index, due May 3, 2029, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes may be automatically called on Review Dates beginning May 3, 2027, and if not called pay at maturity an uncapped return equal to 2.25× the appreciation of the lesser performing index, subject to a 70% barrier that protects principal only if both indices finish at or above that level. Notes are issued in $1,000 denominations, expected to price on or about April 29, 2026 and settle on or about May 4, 2026. Hypothetical minimum estimated value is $900.00 and the cover shows an illustrative estimated value of $942.30 per $1,000 note; illustrative Call Premium Amounts shown are $140 (first Review Date) and $280 (second Review Date). The offering involves substantial issuer and market risks including credit risk of the issuer/guarantor, lack of exchange listing, potential loss of principal if the lesser performing index falls below the Barrier Amount, and limited liquidity.

Insights
Auto-call feature trades upside amplification for early exit risk.
The notes provide 2.25× upside on the lesser performing index at maturity but the automatic call feature (first callable May 3, 2027) caps realized upside if both indices meet Call Values on a Review Date; illustrative call premiums are $140 and $280. Investors seeking leveraged upside should weigh the probability of early call versus holding to maturity.
Value depends on index paths, volatility and issuer credit spreads. Secondary market pricing, if any, will likely be below original issue price and liquidity depends on JPMS willingness to trade.
Tax treatment may be as ‘open transaction’; IRS outcomes could change characterization.
Special counsel opines it is reasonable to treat the notes as open transactions not as debt, producing long-term capital treatment if held >1 year. This position is not binding on the IRS and future regulatory guidance (including on prepaid forward contracts) could materially change timing and character of income.
Section 871(m) analysis is provided and the issuer expects that withholding will not apply to these notes under its determinations; investors should seek personalized tax advice.
