Uncapped JPMorgan AMJB notes tied to Dow & S&P 500 barrier
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on December 17, 2030. The notes target at least 1.26x any positive return of the weaker index at maturity, with a barrier set at 75% of each index’s initial level. If either index finishes below its barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss of the lesser-performing index, and principal can be entirely lost. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both issuers, and will not be listed on an exchange. Minimum denomination is $1,000 per note. The estimated value example given is about $943.10 per $1,000, and will not be less than $920.00 per $1,000, reflecting embedded selling commissions, a possible structuring fee and hedging costs.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the Dow and S&P 500?
The notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay at maturity based on the lesser performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index. They offer leveraged upside participation and downside exposure if either index falls below a set barrier.
How does the payoff of the JPMorgan AMJB notes work at maturity?
If the final level of each index is above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus the lesser index return multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.26. If either index is at or below its initial level but both stay at or above 75% of initial (the barrier), only principal is returned. If either index finishes below its 75% barrier, repayment falls in line with the loss of the lesser performing index, and principal losses can reach 100%.
What are the main risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes?
Key risks include potential loss of some or all principal if either index finishes below its barrier, no interest payments, and no dividends from index constituents. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are not listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited and secondary prices may be below the original issue price.
What fees and embedded costs are associated with the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Selling commissions can be up to $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, and JPMS may pay a structuring fee of $8.50 per $1,000 to dealers. The preliminary example shows an estimated value of about $943.10 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $920.00 per $1,000, because selling, structuring and hedging costs are included in the original issue price.
When do the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes price and mature?
The notes are expected to price on or about December 12, 2025, settle on or about December 17, 2025, have an observation date on December 12, 2030, and mature on December 17, 2030, subject to possible postponement for market disruption events.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or provide any protection at maturity?
The notes do not pay periodic interest and offer no guaranteed return of principal. Limited protection exists only if each index stays at or above 75% of its initial level at maturity, in which case principal is returned. If either index falls below that barrier, investors are fully exposed to the downside of the lesser performing index.
How are the JPMorgan AMJB notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
The issuer currently expects to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments, so gains or losses may generally be treated as capital gains or losses if held more than a year, but the IRS could disagree. The discussion notes potential future tax guidance, including rules on prepaid forward contracts and Section 871(m), which could affect taxation, and investors are encouraged to consult a tax adviser.
