Trigger Jump Securities Based on the Value of the EURO STOXX 50® Index due January 4, 2028
Principal at Risk Securities
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The Trigger Jump Securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee the return of any of the principal at maturity. At maturity, you will receive for each security that you hold an amount in cash that will vary depending on the performance of the underlying index, as determined on the valuation date. If the final index value is greater than or equal to the initial index value, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity the greater of a cash payment that reflects the index percent change and an upside payment in addition to the stated principal amount. If the final index value is less than the initial index value by no more than 10%, you will receive the principal amount of your securities at maturity. However, if the final index value is less than the initial index value by more than 10%, the payment due at maturity will be less than the stated principal amount of the securities by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease in the final index value from the initial index value. This amount will be less than $900.00 and could be zero. Accordingly, investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. The Trigger Jump Securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income in exchange for the upside payment feature that applies to a limited range of the performance of the underlying index. The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Financial’s Medium-Term Notes, Series A, program. Any payment on the securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the securities, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the securities.
