JPMorgan offers callable contingent‑interest notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Callable Contingent Interest Notes due April 18, 2028, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a monthly Contingent Interest Payment only if, on each Review Date, the closing value of each Underlying is at least 50.00% of its Initial Value (the Interest Barrier). The Contingent Interest Rate will be at least 10.45% per annum (at least 0.87083% per month). The notes may be redeemed early at the issuer’s option on certain Interest Payment Dates beginning August 17, 2026. At maturity, if any Underlying’s Final Value is below its Trigger Value, the cash payment is reduced by the Least Performing Underlying Return; investors can lose more than 50.00% or all principal. Pricing is expected on or about May 12, 2026 with settlement on or about May 15, 2026.

Insights
High-yield, high-risk callable contingent coupon tied to the worst-performing underlying.
The notes offer a stated floor Contingent Interest Rate of 10.45% per annum payable monthly if each of the Russell 2000, S&P 500 and VanEck Semiconductor ETF meets the 50.00% Interest Barrier on each Review Date. The payoff is asymmetric: coupons are conditional and principal exposure at maturity is linked to the Least Performing Underlying Return, which can produce >50% principal loss.
The issuer may redeem early starting August 17, 2026, capping total coupon receipts and exposing holders to reinvestment risk. Secondary market liquidity and prices depend on internal funding rates, issuer credit spreads and model inputs; retail holders should expect limited liquidity and potential mark-downs relative to original issue price.
Tax treatment is uncertain; contingent coupons treated as ordinary income per issuer's stated position.
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and to report Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, based on counsel advice. The firm notes other reasonable tax treatments may exist and future Treasury/IRS guidance could materially affect timing and character of income.
For Non-U.S. Holders, withholding on Contingent Interest Payments is expected absent appropriate documentation; Section 871(m) analysis is discussed and the issuer expects Section 871(m) will not apply, subject to IRS review. Consult tax advisers for individual consequences.
