Notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.; payments are subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk. Pricing date: April 30, 2026; settlement expected on or about May 5, 2026.

Insights
This product mixes capped downside protection with leveraged upside tied to the lesser performing index.
The notes pair a 1.215x upside leverage with a 10.00% buffer, producing asymmetric payoffs: leveraged gains if both indices finish higher, an absolute-value payout when declines are within the buffer, and linear downside beyond the buffer that can erase up to 90% of principal. The instrument is suitable only for investors who accept high credit and market risk.
Key dependencies include the relative performance of the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, issuer/guarantor creditworthiness, and secondary-market liquidity. Secondary prices will likely be below original issue price due to included commissions and hedging costs; hold-to-maturity dynamics are critical.
Tax treatment is opinion‑based and may be recharacterized; withholding rules could affect Non‑U.S. Holders.
Special counsel opines the notes may be treated as open transactions (non-debt) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, producing capital gain/loss treatment if held > one year. This treatment is not guaranteed and could change under future Treasury/IRS guidance, affecting timing and character of income.
Section 871(m) analysis led the issuer to conclude withholding should not apply to Non‑U.S. Holders for these notes; this determination is not binding on the IRS. Consult tax advisers for personal circumstances.
