JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Auto Callable Buffered Equity Notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, expected to price on or about July 28, 2026 and settle on or about July 31, 2026. The notes mature on July 31, 2031 and may be automatically called if the Index closing level on the Review Date (scheduled August 3, 2027) is at or above the Call Value (100% of the Initial Value). If automatically called, holders receive $1,000 plus a Call Premium Amount (not less than $500 per $1,000 note).
If not called, holders receive at maturity either full principal plus any positive Index Return, return of principal if the Final Value is within the 15.00% Buffer Amount, or a reduced principal amount if the Final Value declines by more than the Buffer (up to an 85.00% loss). The Index reflects a daily deduction of 6.0% per annum and a notional financing cost; these deductions are stated to reduce Index performance. The notes are unsecured obligations of the issuer and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Insights
Product mixes a buffered downside with an early-call kicker under a high-cost index structure.
The notes provide a 15.00% downside buffer and an early-call feature that pays at least a $500 premium per $1,000 if the Index meets the call threshold on the Review Date. The Index, however, includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction plus a notional financing cost, which the supplement states will materially drag performance.
The economics depend on the level of the Index at the Review and Observation Dates and on credit spreads of the issuer/guarantor. Subsequent pricing details (final Call Premium Amount, actual Initial Value) in the pricing supplement will determine investor payoff scenarios.
Credit exposure to the issuer/guarantor and limited liquidity are central risks.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Secondary market liquidity is not assured; JPMS may be the principal counterparty for repurchases. The supplement highlights dependence on the issuer and guarantor for payments.
Investors should note the estimated value cited ($906.70 per $1,000) and the stated minimum estimated value ($900.00), and recognize that secondary market prices are likely to be lower than original issue price.
