JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC priced $53,000 of Step-Up Auto Callable Notes linked to the S&P Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER. The notes, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., priced on May 28, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about June 2, 2026. Each $1,000 principal amount note carries a Participation Rate of 100%, six non-final annual Review Dates and a final Review Date on May 31, 2033 with maturity on June 3, 2033. Notes auto-call if the Index closing level on a Review Date equals or exceeds the stepped Call Value (101%–106% of the Initial Value across Review Dates), producing a Call Premium (9.75%–58.50% per $1,000). If not called, maturity pays $1,000 plus an Additional Amount equal to $1,000 × Index Return × Participation Rate, not less than zero. The Initial Value was 123.57. Minimum denominations are $1,000. The price to public was $1,000 per note, with selling commissions of $34 and proceeds to issuer of $966 per note; the estimated value was $901.10 per $1,000.

Insights
Mechanics: step-up call schedule with full participation at maturity if not called.
The notes combine a volatility-targeting index exposure with a progressive automatic call schedule that pays stepped Call Premiums (from 9.75% to 58.50%) if the Index meets rising Call Values (101%–106% of the Initial Value). The Participation Rate is 100.00%.
The structure favors investors seeking potential early cash exits at preset premiums but limits upside upon an automatic call; cash‑flow treatment and acceleration mechanics are governed by the calculation agent. Pricing shows a material difference between the $1,000 public price and the $901.10 estimated value, reflecting commissions and hedging costs.
Tax treatment: notes characterized as contingent payment debt instruments.
Special tax counsel opines the notes will be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, requiring accrual of original issue discount using a determined comparable yield of 4.81% and a projected payment of $1,395.06 per $1,000 for tax accrual purposes.
Buyers should note specific OID accrual schedule entries and consult tax advisors for non‑U.S. withholding risk under Section 871(m) despite the issuer's determinations.
