JPMorgan issues callable contingent-interest notes linked to NIO, SOFI, OSCR
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering callable Contingent Interest Notes due May 26, 2028, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay monthly contingent interest only if each Reference Stock (NIO ADSs, SoFi common, Oscar class A) is at or above an Interest Barrier of 50.00% of its Initial Value on each Review Date. The Contingent Interest Rate will be at least 29.65% per annum (at least $24.7083 per $1,000 per month). The notes may be redeemed early at issuer option starting November 27, 2026. Pricing is expected on or about May 21, 2026 with settlement on or about May 27, 2026. The pricing supplement shows an estimated value of approximately $880.70 per $1,000 and a stated minimum estimated value of $850.00 per $1,000; the original issue price will exceed the estimated value and may include selling commissions up to $27.00 per $1,000. The payment at maturity is linked to the Least Performing Reference Stock and can result in substantial loss of principal, including loss of more than 50.00% or all principal if the Least Performing Stock Return is sufficiently negative.

Insights
High coupon conditional notes with principal risk tied to the least-performing underlying.
The notes offer a contingent coupon with a stated minimum nominal annual rate of 29.65%, payable monthly as $24.7083 per $1,000 when all three Reference Stocks meet the 50.00% Interest Barrier on a Review Date. Payments accrue only when the condition is met; unpaid contingent payments are payable later only if a subsequent Review Date satisfies the barrier.
Key dependencies include the individual performance of NIO ADSs, SOFI, and OSCR, the issuers call decision (earliest call November 27, 2026), and JPMorgan creditworthiness. Secondary market liquidity and the internal funding rate materially influence tradability and quoted values.
Product carries issuer and guarantor credit risk and uncertain U.S. tax treatment for contingent payments.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Tax treatment is expected to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, and contingent interest is expected to be ordinary income; Section 871(m) and withholding outcomes are discussed as potentially applicable.
Investors should note the filing's statement that withholding may occur for Non-U.S. Holders and consult tax counsel. The pricing supplement emphasizes dependence on the pricing supplement for final terms.
