JPMorgan Chase Financial (NYSE: AMJB) launches Nike-linked auto callable notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class B common stock of NIKE, Inc., maturing on December 1, 2027. The notes pay a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $38.75 per $1,000 (at least 15.50% per annum) only if, on a Review Date, NIKE’s share price is at or above the Interest Barrier of 65.00% of the Strike Value, which is $41.8145.
The notes are automatically called, starting as early as February 26, 2026, if NIKE’s share price on a Review Date (other than the final one) is at or above the Strike Value of $64.33, returning $1,000 plus the applicable contingent interest, and ending further payments. If the notes are not called and NIKE’s final share price is at or above the Trigger Value (also 65.00% of the Strike Value), investors receive $1,000 plus the final contingent interest. If the final price is below the Trigger Value, repayment is reduced one-for-one with NIKE’s decline, and investors can lose more than 35% and up to all of their principal.
The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, and subject to JPMorgan Financial’s and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risk. If priced today, the estimated value would be about $975 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $950 per $1,000 at pricing.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) auto callable contingent interest notes linked to NIKE?
These notes are unsecured debt of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay high, conditional quarterly interest and may automatically mature early based on the performance of NIKE, Inc. Class B common stock.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB Nike-linked notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $38.75 (at least 15.50% per annum, or at least 3.875% per quarter) on a given Interest Payment Date only if, on the corresponding Review Date, NIKE’s share price is at or above the Interest Barrier of $41.8145, which equals 65.00% of the Strike Value.
When can the AMJB Nike-linked notes be automatically called, and what happens then?
On any Review Date other than the final one, starting on February 26, 2026, if NIKE’s share price is at or above the Strike Value of $64.33, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment on the next Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What do investors in the AMJB Nike-linked notes receive at maturity if the notes are not called?
If the notes are not automatically called and NIKE’s final share price (the Final Value) is at or above the Trigger Value of 65.00% of the Strike Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final Contingent Interest Payment. If the Final Value is below the Trigger Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return), where Stock Return is (Final Value − Strike Value) ÷ Strike Value, resulting in more than 35.00% principal loss and potentially a total loss.
What are the main risks of investing in the AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes linked to NIKE?
Key risks include no principal protection, the possibility of no interest payments if NIKE’s price stays below the Interest Barrier on Review Dates, and exposure to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, will not be listed on any exchange, may have limited or no liquidity, and their secondary market price will likely be below the original issue price.
Why is the estimated value of the AMJB Nike-linked notes lower than the price to the public?
If priced on the described date, the notes’ estimated value would be about $975.00 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 at pricing. The difference from the price to the public reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and the estimated cost of hedging, as well as the issuer’s internal funding rate.
How are the AMJB Nike-linked notes expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
The issuer currently intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with any Contingent Interest Payments treated as ordinary income. This treatment is not certain, and investors are urged to consult their tax advisers, especially Non-U.S. Holders who may be subject to 30% withholding on Contingent Interest Payments absent treaty relief.
