JPMorgan sells $399K auto‑call contingent interest notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $399,000 Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, the Russell 2000® Index and the State Street® SPDR® S&P® Regional Banking ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes priced on April 30, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about May 5, 2026, mature on May 3, 2029, and may be automatically called beginning October 30, 2026. They pay a Contingent Interest Rate of 12.50% per annum (1.04167% per month) only when each underlying is >= 70.00% of its Initial Value on a Review Date; the Trigger Value is 60.00% of Initial Value. Payment at maturity depends on the Least Performing Underlying Return; investors can lose more than 40% or all principal if the Least Performing Underlying falls below its Trigger Value.
Price to public is $1,000 per note with selling commissions of $9.50 per note; the estimated value when set was $970 per $1,000. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk.

Insights
Auto-callable, contingent‑coupon notes expose investors to concentrated downside tied to the least performing underlying.
The structure pays a monthly-equivalent contingent coupon at a 12.50% annualized rate only if all three Underlyings are ≥ the 70.00% Interest Barrier on a Review Date and may be automatically called after the sixth relevant Review Date starting October 30, 2026. Principal at maturity is determined by the Least Performing Underlying Return and can result in losses greater than 40.00% or total loss if below the 60.00% Trigger Value.
Secondary‑market liquidity is limited, the estimated value ($970 per $1,000) is below the issue price, and repurchase pricing may vary; subsequent disclosures and market moves will determine actual note prices.
Tax treatment is uncertain; issuer intends treatment as prepaid forward with contingent coupons.
The issuer intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes and to treat Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income. Special tax counsel notes other reasonable treatments could apply and references Treasury/IRS guidance under consideration.
Non‑U.S. Holder withholding uncertainty exists; withholding agents may withhold at 30% on Contingent Interest Payments absent proper certification. Consult a tax adviser for individualized guidance.
