JPMorgan launches step-up auto‑call notes linked to SPGLR5TE
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Structured Investments Step-Up Auto Callable Notes linked to the S&P Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, expected to price on or about May 28, 2026 and settle on or about June 2, 2026. The notes can be automatically called beginning June 2, 2027 on specified Review Dates for a cash payment equal to principal plus a step-up Call Premium Amount. If not called, holders receive principal at maturity (June 3, 2033) plus an Additional Amount equal to Index Return × Participation Rate (100%), not less than zero. The estimated value at issuance is approximately $903 per $1,000 note (will be at least $900). Payments are unsecured obligations of the issuer and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and any payment is subject to the issuer’s and guarantor’s credit risk.

Insights
Auto-call structure gives step-up cash returns on Review Dates; downside capped at principal if not called.
The notes offer a series of increasing call thresholds and minimum Call Premium Amounts (first through sixth: $97.50 to $585.00) and a 100.00% Participation Rate at maturity if not called. The automatic call feature pays a fixed cash premium on the applicable Call Settlement Date and extinguishes further upside exposure.
Primary dependencies include the Index closing levels on Review Dates, the Index’s daily 0.50% deduction and financing costs, and the issuer/guarantor creditworthiness. Secondary market liquidity is limited; pricing and repurchase behavior will follow JPMS internal funding and repurchase practices described in the supplement.
Notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Special tax counsel expects holders to accrue OID annually at a comparable yield determined by the issuer; taxable treatment on sale, automatic call or maturity follows contingent payment debt rules. Comparable yield and projected payment schedule will be provided in the pricing supplement.
Section 871(m) treatment is addressed: issuer expects the notes not to be subject to withholding for Non‑U.S. Holders based on its determinations, but the IRS may disagree; holders should consult tax advisers.
