AMJB 424B2 outlines JPMorgan buffered equity index notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Uncapped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indices. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and a term to December 6, 2028.
At maturity, if all three indices are above their initial levels, investors receive $1,000 plus at least 1.255 times the gain of the worst-performing index. A 30% downside buffer protects against moderate declines; if any index falls more than 30%, repayment is reduced 1% for each additional 1% drop, up to a maximum 70% loss of principal.
The notes pay no interest, provide no dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated, and are subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are not listed on any exchange, and secondary market prices are expected to be below the $1,000 issue price, with an initial estimated value of about $983.50 per note.
