JPMorgan (AMJB) Tesla-linked auto callable notes with 20.15% contingent rate
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc. These unsecured notes run to December 28, 2028 and pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least 20.15% per annum in total if, on a given review date, Tesla’s share price is at or above 60.00% of the initial value.
Starting with the June 22, 2026 review date, the notes are automatically called if Tesla’s share price is at or above the initial value, returning the $1,000 principal per note plus the applicable coupon, with no further payments. If the notes are not called and Tesla’s final share price is below 60.00% of the initial value, repayment at maturity is reduced one-for-one with Tesla’s decline, so investors can lose more than 40% and up to all of their principal. The notes carry the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and an indicative estimated value is about $958.80 per $1,000 note, not less than $920.00 at pricing.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan’s auto callable contingent interest notes linked to Tesla (AMJB)?
These notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They pay contingent monthly interest and may be automatically called early based on the performance of Tesla, Inc. common stock.
How is the contingent interest on these Tesla-linked notes (AMJB) calculated?
For each $1,000 note, a contingent coupon of at least $16.7917 per month (a rate of at least 20.15% per annum) is paid only if Tesla’s closing price on the review date is at or above 60.00% of the initial value. If Tesla is below this barrier, no interest is paid for that month.
When can the Tesla-linked JPMorgan notes (AMJB) be automatically called?
On any review date from June 22, 2026 onward (excluding the first five and the final review dates), if Tesla’s closing price is at or above the initial value, the notes are automatically called. Holders then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest payment on the related call settlement date, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity of the Tesla auto callable notes (AMJB) if they are not called?
On December 28, 2028, if Tesla’s final price is at or above 60.00% of the initial value, investors receive $1,000 principal per note plus the final contingent interest payment. If Tesla’s final price is below 60.00% of the initial value, the payoff is $1,000 + ($1,000 × stock return), so principal loss matches Tesla’s percentage decline and can reach a 100% loss.
What are the key risks of investing in these JPMorgan Tesla-linked notes (AMJB)?
Key risks include the possibility of losing more than 40% or all principal if Tesla finishes below the trigger value, the risk of receiving no interest at all if Tesla stays below the interest barrier, and credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are not FDIC insured and will not be listed on any exchange, which may limit liquidity.
What is the estimated value of the Tesla-linked JPMorgan notes (AMJB) at issuance?
If priced on the date illustrated, the estimated value would be approximately $958.80 per $1,000 note, and at pricing it will not be less than $920.00 per $1,000 note. This value is based on JPMorgan affiliates’ internal models and an internal funding rate and is lower than the price to the public because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs.
How are the Tesla-linked structured notes (AMJB) treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with any contingent interest treated as ordinary income. The tax outcome is not certain and may be affected by future IRS or Treasury guidance, so investors are encouraged to consult a tax adviser.
