Auto‑callable notes linked to MerQube Index (AMJB) — guaranteed by JPM (NYSE: AMJB)
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto-callable, contingent-interest structured notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes price at $1,000 per note (minimum denomination) and are expected to price on or about April 27, 2026 with settlement on or about April 30, 2026 and mature on May 2, 2029. Notes pay a Contingent Interest Payment on each quarterly Review Date only if the Index closing level is at least 60.00% of the Initial Value (the Interest Barrier) and will be automatically called early if the Index on a Review Date equals or exceeds the Initial Value. The Index reflects a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost; these deductions materially reduce index performance. The estimated value at pricing is approximately $918.80 per $1,000 note (will not be less than $900.00), and selling commissions will not exceed $32.50 per $1,000 note. Investors risk losing a substantial portion or all principal if the Final Value is below the Trigger Value.

Insights
Neutral: a high‑risk, yield‑enhanced structured note with concentrated index and credit exposure.
The notes combine an early‑callable contingent coupon with exposure to a volatility‑targeting, leveraged index that applies a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost. The coupon floor is stated as at least 11.00% per annum but is conditional on index performance relative to a 60.00% Interest Barrier.
The two main investment risks are (1) concentrated downside linked to the Index (you can lose more than 40.00% of principal and potentially all principal if the Final Value falls materially) and (2) issuer/guarantor credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Secondary‑market liquidity is limited and estimated value at issue (~$918.80) is below the $1,000 issue price.
