The notes priced on June 5, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about June 10, 2026. Each $1,000 note carries a contingent monthly coupon equal to $0.94167 (a 11.30% per annum contingent interest rate) payable only if Walmart’s closing price on a Review Date is at or above an Interest Barrier of $92.7264 (78.00% of the Initial Value). The notes are auto-callable beginning with the Review Date on December 7, 2026 if the Reference Stock closes at or above the Initial Value and are due on July 9, 2027. At maturity, if the Final Value is below the Trigger Value, principal is exposed to the full stock return (losses possible up to 100%); if Final Value is at or above the Trigger Value, holders receive principal plus the contingent payment for the final Review Date. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., sold in minimum denominations of $1,000 with selling commissions of $2.50 per note and an estimated value at pricing of $977.40 per $1,000 note.

Insights
Short-term, yield-for-risk product with significant principal downside tied to Walmart stock levels.
The notes pay a 11.30% per annum contingent coupon only when the Reference Stock meets a 78.00% interest-barrier condition and are auto-callable after the fifth Review Date beginning December 7, 2026. Pricing shows an estimated model value of $977.40 versus the issue price of $1,000, reflecting embedded costs and hedging margins.
Key dependencies include Walmart closing prices on scheduled Review Dates, issuer and guarantor credit spreads, and potential market disruption or acceleration events. Secondary market liquidity is limited and repurchase pricing may be below issue price; the initial repurchase adjustment period is the shorter of six months and half the term.
Tax treatment is uncertain; issuer treats the notes as prepaid forwards with contingent coupons.
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, with contingent interest treated as ordinary income. This position is supported by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP but the IRS could adopt alternative treatments, and Treasury guidance referenced in the supplement could affect timing and character of income, potentially with retroactive effect.
Non-U.S. Holders should note possible withholding (generally 30%) and the issuer's view that Section 871(m) should not apply; withholding outcomes and treaty relief depend on certification and administrative determinations.
