Insights
Complex payoff ties principal to the worst-performing index with upside leverage and a 70% barrier.
The notes link payments to the Least Performing Index among INDU, RTY and SPX. If all Indices gain, investors receive $1,000 plus the Least Performing Index Return times an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.31. If any Index declines but all remain ≥ the 70.00 Barrier Amount, the payout uses the Absolute Index Return (capped at 30.00).
Risks include full credit exposure to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., potential illiquidity, and significant downside if any Index falls below the Barrier Amount. Secondary market prices and published account values may differ from the notes' estimated value; timing and magnitude of any repurchase adjustments are governed by the pricing supplement.
Tax treatment may be as an "open transaction"; Section 871(m) analysis applied to Non-U.S. Holders.
Special tax counsel opines the notes can be treated as open transactions and not as debt, so long-term capital gain/loss treatment may apply if held > one year. The pricing supplement notes the IRS or courts might reach a different conclusion, which could materially change timing and character of income.
The issuer expects Section 871(m) will not apply to Non-U.S. Holders given certain determinations, but that determination is not binding on the IRS. Consult a tax adviser for personalized advice.
