JPMorgan launches auto-callable contingent interest notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Structured Investments Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector (NDXT), the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) and the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF (XLU), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000, are expected to price on or about May 21, 2026 and settle on or about May 27, 2026. The notes can pay a Contingent Interest Payment on each Review Date only if each Underlying is >= 50.00% of its Initial Value (the Interest Barrier). The Contingent Interest Rate will be at least 12.30% per annum (at least 1.025% per month), equivalent to $10.25 per $1,000 when payable. The notes are automatically callable after the second Review Date if each Underlying on a Review Date is >= its Initial Value; maturity is November 26, 2027. Principal is at risk: if the Final Value of the least performing Underlying is below the Trigger Value, payment at maturity equals $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Underlying Return), which could result in a substantial loss or total loss of principal.

Insights
Auto-callable contingent coupon notes with principal-at-risk and limited upside.
The notes pay periodic contingent coupons only if every referenced Underlying meets a 50.00% Interest Barrier on each Review Date; the stated minimum contingent rate is 12.30% per annum (at least 1.025% per month).
Automatic call mechanics may terminate the term early (earliest call August 21, 2026), locking in limited coupon payments and returning principal plus that payment; if not called, maturity exposure is to the least performing Underlying, which can produce >50% principal loss. Secondary market liquidity and dealer buyback pricing are limited and likely below original issue price.
Payments depend on issuer and guarantor credit; tax characterization is uncertain.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial and are fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment is therefore subject to the credit quality of both entities.
Tax treatment is expected to be as prepaid forward contracts with contingent coupons, but this position is not binding; withholding for Non-U.S. Holders and Section 871(m) considerations are discussed and may affect net payments.
