JPMorgan sells auto‑call notes linked to MCHI, FEZ, EWZ
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC launched a primary offering of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes due May 10, 2029, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay quarterly contingent interest (at least 10.65% per annum, equivalent to at least $26.625 per $1,000 per quarter when triggered) if each referenced ETF closes at or above an Interest Barrier equal to 60.00% of its Strike Value on a Review Date. The Strike Values (as of May 5, 2026) were $57.22 (MCHI), $65.75 (EWZ) and $39.71 (FEZ); corresponding Interest Barriers are $34.332, $23.826 and $39.45 as stated. The notes are automatically callable beginning with the November 5, 2026 Review Date and may repay principal plus accrued contingent interest on call. If not called and the Final Value of any Fund is below its Trigger Value, maturity payment is reduced pro rata by the Least Performing Fund Return, which could result in losses exceeding 40.00% or total loss of principal. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and carry issuer and guarantor credit risk. Pricing was expected on or about May 6, 2026 with settlement on or about May 11, 2026.

Insights
Complex auto-call structure ties returns to three ETFs and a 60% trigger.
The notes combine an auto-call feature with quarterly contingent coupons that are paid only if each referenced ETF meets an Interest Barrier of 60.00% of its Strike Value on a Review Date. Automatic callability beginning November 5, 2026 can shorten term materially if all three ETFs meet Strike Value on a Review Date.
The primary risks are concentration in the least-performing ETF at maturity and counterparty credit exposure to JPMorgan Financial and its guarantor. Subsequent pricing and secondary market behavior will depend on market volatilities, credit spreads and the internal funding rate disclosed in the pricing supplement.
Payoff caps upside and exposes investors to significant principal loss tied to the least-performing fund.
The structure limits appreciation to cumulative contingent payments (hypothetical total up to $319.50 per $1,000) and does not provide participation in ETF upside beyond those payments. At maturity, if any Fund's Final Value is below its Trigger Value, the payment equals $1,000 + $1,000 × Least Performing Fund Return, which can lead to losses greater than 40.00%.
Liquidity is limited; secondary prices likely below original issue price due to selling commissions, hedging profits and internal funding rate differences. Creditworthiness of the issuer/guarantor is relevant to recovery.
