JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: AMJB) details high-yield callable notes linked to Nasdaq-100, KRE and SMH
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq‑100 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, maturing on December 21, 2028. The notes pay a monthly contingent interest rate of at least 14.50% per annum (at least $12.0833 per $1,000) only if on each review date all three underlyings are at or above 65% of their initial value; otherwise no interest is paid for that period.
The issuer may redeem the notes early, in whole, on specified interest payment dates starting June 23, 2026, paying $1,000 plus any applicable contingent interest. If held to maturity and none of the underlyings finishes below 55% trigger value, investors receive $1,000 plus any final contingent interest. If any underlying ends below its trigger, repayment is reduced one‑for‑one with the decline in the worst performer, and investors can lose more than 45% and up to all principal.
The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., will not be listed, and may be difficult to sell. The price to public is $1,000 per note; the estimated value would be about $971.20 per $1,000, and will not be less than $940.00 when finalized, reflecting embedded fees, hedging costs and dealer compensation.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB callable contingent interest notes?
The notes are structured debt securities of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay contingent monthly interest and return of principal based on the performance of the Nasdaq‑100 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF.
How do the contingent interest payments on AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, you receive a contingent interest payment of at least $12.0833 (at least 14.50% per annum) on a review date only if the closing value of each underlying is at or above its 65% Interest Barrier. If any underlying is below its barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can these JPMorgan AMJB notes be called and what happens on early redemption?
JPMorgan may redeem the notes early, in whole, on any eligible interest payment date starting on June 23, 2026 (excluding the first five and final dates). On early redemption, holders receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
What principal protection do the AMJB notes offer at maturity?
If the notes are not called and on the final review date each underlying is at or above 55% of its initial value (its Trigger Value), investors receive $1,000 plus any final contingent interest. If any underlying finishes below its trigger, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least performing underlying, so losses can exceed 45% and reach 100% of principal.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes versus the price to the public?
The price to the public is $1,000 per note. If priced on the reference date in the document, the estimated value would be about $971.20 per $1,000 note, and the issuer states the final estimated value will not be less than $940.00, reflecting selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs.
What are the main risks of investing in these AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing most or all principal if the least performing underlying ends below its 55% trigger, the risk that no interest may be paid on some or all review dates, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no listing and limited liquidity, and sector concentration risks tied to regional banks and semiconductor companies.
Do AMJB note investors receive dividends from the ETFs or index components?
No. Investors do not receive any dividends on the ETFs or the securities in the Nasdaq‑100 Index. Any potential dividend value is embedded in the note’s terms and not paid directly to holders.
