JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto‑callable structured notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, with a $1,000 principal amount per note. The notes can be automatically called starting June 9, 2027 and mature on June 9, 2033
The notes pay no interest or dividends; if not called, maturity payment equals $1,000 plus an Additional Amount equal to $1,000 × Index Return × Participation Rate (Participation Rate: 100%), floored at zero. The Index is reduced by a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, and the issuer estimates the initial estimated value at approximately $908.90 per $1,000 note (will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000). Payments are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are subject to the credit risk of both entities.

Insights
Auto‑callable notes offer capped early returns with index drag from daily deductions.
The structure provides scheduled call opportunities with predetermined Call Premium Amounts (first through sixth Review Dates range from $85 to $510 per $1,000). If an early automatic call occurs, investors receive principal plus that Call Premium Amount on the applicable Call Settlement Date.
The Index applies a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost that reduce index performance; the notes therefore rely on index appreciation that exceeds those deductions to deliver positive returns at maturity. Secondary market liquidity is limited and repurchase prices may be below original issue.
For U.S. holders the notes are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.
Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP opines the notes will be taxed as contingent payment debt instruments, requiring accrual of original issue discount at a comparable yield. Income on sale, automatic call, or maturity will reflect accrued OID and result in interest income or capital loss treatment as described.
Section 871(m) withholding is expected not to apply to Non‑U.S. Holders based on the issuer's determinations; however, that determination is not binding on the IRS and purchasers should consult tax advisers.
