JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC priced $540,000 of Review Notes linked to the MerQube US Large‑Cap Vol Advantage Index. The notes priced on May 27, 2026 with expected settlement on or about May 29, 2026 and mature on May 30, 2031. The notes pay no interest, may be automatically called beginning May 28, 2027 if the Index closes at or above the applicable Call Value, and otherwise pay at maturity an amount equal to $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Index Return, exposing holders to substantial principal loss if the Final Value is below the 60.00% Barrier Amount.

Insights
These are callable, principal‑at‑risk notes with a high ongoing index deduction and limited upside.
The notes offer early automatic call potential and a defined Call Premium Rate of 14.80%, but investors receive no coupons and instead bear exposure to an index that includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. That deduction is explicit in the supplement as a persistent drag on Index level and on the derivative component used to value the notes.
The expected outcomes depend on whether any Review Date meets Call Value thresholds; absent an automatic call, holders face full downside linked to the Index and a Barrier Amount equal to 60.00% of the Initial Value. Secondary market liquidity is limited, and published estimated value ($887 per $1,000 at pricing) is lower than the original issue price.
Credit and structural features: issuer is a finance subsidiary; payments are guaranteed but credit risk remains.
The issuer is JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, a finance subsidiary with limited independent assets, and payments are guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.; the supplement highlights dependence on intercompany payments and pari passu ranking of the guarantee. The notes are offered under a hybrid instrument exemption and are not futures or swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act.
The supplement discloses tax opinion treating the notes as "open transactions" for U.S. federal income tax purposes but notes uncertainty and potential adverse IRS treatment. Buyers should note the structural, credit and tax disclaimers verbatim as presented in the supplement.
