JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Uncapped Dual Directional Buffered Return Enhanced Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500, with a Buffer Amount of 20.00% and an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.09. The notes are expected to price on or about March 20, 2026, settle on or about March 25, 2026 and mature on March 23, 2028. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount denomination.

Insights
Hybrid payoff uses 20% downside buffer and ~1.09x upside leverage.
The notes provide asymmetric exposure: at maturity investors receive at least 1.09× of the Least Performing Index's appreciation, while negative Least Performing Index returns are first absorbed up to a 20.00% buffer. If losses exceed the buffer, investors lose 1% per 1% beyond the buffer, up to an 80.00% principal loss.
Key dependencies include the final Upside Leverage Factor, final pricing (estimated value disclosed as $981.50) and the closing levels on the Pricing Date and Observation Date. Subsequent pricing supplement will provide the precise leverage and estimated value used at issuance.
Payments subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Although payments are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., holders are exposed to the creditworthiness and default risk of both the issuer and guarantor. As a finance subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial has limited independent assets and depends on intercompany payments.
Secondary market liquidity is limited; any repurchase prices may be materially below original issue price and depend on internal funding rates and market conditions disclosed in the supplement.
