JPMorgan AMJB pricing supplement for MerQube-linked auto callable notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes target a Contingent Interest Rate of at least 10.55% per annum, paid quarterly when the Index closes at or above 60% of its Initial Value. From the fourth Review Date onward, the notes are automatically called if the Index is at or above the Initial Value.
If the notes are not called and the Final Value is at or above 50% of the Initial Value, investors receive principal back plus any final contingent interest; below that 50% Trigger Value, principal loss matches the Index decline, up to a total loss. The underlying Index uses leveraged E-mini S&P 500 futures, targets 35% implied volatility and has a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, which drags on performance. The notes are unsecured obligations, not FDIC insured, have a minimum denomination of $1,000, are not exchange-listed and had an indicative estimated value of about $887.70 per $1,000, not less than $870.00.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan AMJB offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan AMJB is offering Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, due December 19, 2030, with payments tied to index performance.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $26.375 (a rate of at least 10.55% per annum, or 2.6375% per quarter) on a Review Date only if the Index closes at or above 60% of its Initial Value.
When are the JPMorgan AMJB notes automatically called?
On any Review Date other than the first three and the final one, if the Index closing level is at least equal to the Initial Value, the notes are automatically called and pay $1,000 plus the applicable contingent interest per note, with no further payments.
What principal protection do the AMJB notes offer at maturity?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of the Index is at or above the 50% Trigger Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If the Final Value is below 50% of the Initial Value, principal is reduced 1% for every 1% Index loss.
What are the key risks of the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes?
Investors face the risk of losing more than 50% or all principal, the possibility of no interest payments, exposure to a leveraged index with a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, credit risk of JPMorgan entities and limited liquidity, since the notes are not exchange-listed.
How is the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index constructed for these notes?
The Index provides rules-based exposure to E-mini S&P 500 futures, targets 35% implied volatility with exposure capped at 500%, may be partially uninvested and applies a 6.0% per annum daily deduction that reduces performance versus a similar index without such a charge.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes at issuance?
If priced as described, the notes would have an estimated value of approximately $887.70 per $1,000 principal amount and will not have an estimated value below $870.00 per $1,000, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and JPMorgan's internal funding rate.
