JPMorgan Financial offers auto-callable contingent‑coupon notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Structured Investments Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the lesser performing of the common stock of Walmart Inc. and PepsiCo, Inc. The notes have a minimum estimated value of $900 per $1,000 note and an illustrative estimated value of $958.70 per $1,000. They pay Contingent Interest Payments if each Reference Stock is at or above an Interest Barrier of 70.00% of Initial Value on Review Dates, with a Contingent Interest Rate of at least 11.50% per annum (at least $28.75 per $1,000 per quarter). The notes are auto-callable if both Reference Stocks are at or above their Initial Values on an applicable Review Date (first callable December 18, 2026), settle on or about June 24, 2026 and mature on June 22, 2029. Payments and principal are exposed to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor and the notes may return less than principal at maturity if the Lesser Performing Reference Stock declines below its Trigger Value.

Insights
Auto-callable contingent coupon tied to both stocks; principal exposure to the lesser performer.
The notes combine quarterly contingent coupons (at least $28.75 per $1,000) with an auto-call feature that may end the term early (first callable December 18, 2026). Payouts depend on both Reference Stocks meeting per‑stock thresholds rather than a basket average, so poor performance by one stock can prevent coupons or cause principal loss.
Key dependencies include the Interest Barrier and Final Value outcomes for the Lesser Performing Reference Stock and issuer credit. Secondary market liquidity and the internal funding assumptions used to derive the estimated value may materially affect tradeability and mark-to-market levels.
Tax treatment treated as prepaid forward with contingent coupons; withholding risks for Non‑U.S. Holders.
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts and Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes; however, alternative IRS treatments are possible and could change timing or character of income. Section 871(m) analysis is discussed and the issuer expects it not to apply but the IRS could disagree.
Non‑U.S. Holders should note potential 30% withholding on Contingent Interest Payments absent appropriate documentation or treaty relief; consult a tax adviser for individual circumstances.
