JPMorgan offers leveraged buffered notes due May 2031
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Uncapped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes due May 16, 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes link to an unequally weighted basket (50.00% S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index; 30.00% MSCI EAFE®; 20.00% MSCI Emerging Markets) with an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.557 and a 20.00% downside buffer. If the Final Basket Value exceeds the Strike Basket Value, payment at maturity equals principal plus the Basket Return times the Upside Leverage Factor; if the Basket declines by more than the Buffer Amount, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% below the buffer, up to an 80.00% loss. The Strike Basket Value is set to 100.00 on the Strike Date of May 13, 2026. The notes are expected to price on or about May 22, 2026 and settle on or about May 28, 2026. The estimated issue value is approximately $985.60 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 note.

Insights
Notes offer leveraged upside with a defined buffer but carry significant principal risk and issuer credit exposure.
The structure provides at least a 1.557 Upside Leverage Factor on positive Basket performance and a 20.00 Buffer that protects against losses only up to that threshold. The Strike Basket Value is set to May 13, 2026, with maturity on May 16, 2031.
Cash-flow treatment and secondary market pricing depend on dealer liquidity and internal funding rates; the pricing supplement discloses an estimated value of $985.60 per $1,000 note and a guaranteed floor for the estimated value of $950.00. Subsequent disclosures at pricing will state final Upside Leverage Factor and estimated value.
Investor outcomes are exposed to issuer/guarantor credit and limited secondary market liquidity.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment is therefore subject to the credit risk of both entities. The supplement highlights that JPMorgan Financial is a finance subsidiary with limited independent assets.
Secondary market prices are likely below original issue price; JPMS may repurchase notes but liquidity and published account values can diverge from the estimated value. Consideration of creditworthiness and willingness to hold to maturity are central to outcomes.
