Structured Note Design and Index Linkage
These three-year structured notes provide investors exposure to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index performance. The initial index value on pricing date was 596.71, serving as the baseline for return calculations. Investors gain from any index appreciation over the term, amplified by a 102.00% participation rate.
The 102.00% participation rate enhances returns relative to the index. At maturity, additional payments equal $1,000 multiplied by the index return and the participation rate. The notes do not pay periodic interest, requiring investors to forgo coupon income during the three-year term while seeking full principal repayment.
Payment Structure and Maturity Details
At maturity on July 20, 2029, holders receive $1,000 per note plus an Additional Amount, which may be zero. The Additional Amount equals $1,000 times the Index Return times 102.00%, with a floor at zero, creating an asymmetric payoff. The final index level is observed on July 17, 2029, with possible postponement due to market disruptions.
Principal repayment is guaranteed subject to credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes carry CUSIP 46661CTB2 for trading and settlement.
Issuance Terms and Investor Access
Priced at $1,000 per note on July 17, 2026, the offering totals $833,000 in principal. Minimum denominations are $1,000 and multiples thereof, accessible to retail and institutional investors. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acts as agent for distribution to affiliated and unaffiliated dealers.
The public price includes fees and commissions of $9.50 per $1,000 principal. The estimated note value at pricing was $979.40 per $1,000 principal, reflecting embedded costs relative to theoretical fair value.
Issuer Credit and Guarantee Structure
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., issues the notes as unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. JPMorgan Chase & Co. fully and unconditionally guarantees payment, exposing investors to credit risk of both entities.
Changes in creditworthiness or credit spreads of either entity may adversely impact secondary market value. The notes are not bank deposits, lack FDIC or governmental insurance, and are not bank obligations.
Risk Factors and Downside Protection
The notes may pay only principal at maturity if the final index level is at or below the initial value, offering no compensation for inflation or opportunity cost. This principal floor is the sole downside protection.
Hypothetical payouts show that any index decline results in repayment of $1,000 per note with no additional payment. Declines of 5%, 10%, 20%, 50%, or more do not reduce principal recovery once the index falls below the initial level.
Regulatory Status Under Commodity Exchange Act
The notes are not futures contracts or swaps and are exempt from Commodity Exchange Act regulation under the hybrid instrument exemption. They are offered as securities indexed to commodities per section 2(f) of the Act.
Consequently, investors lack protections from the Commodity Exchange Act or Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations. The notes operate under securities laws rather than commodity futures rules, a key consideration for regulatory safeguards.
Hypothetical Returns and Performance Illustrations
Illustrative scenarios show a 100% index return yields an Additional Amount of $1,020 and total maturity payment of $2,020 per $1,000 principal. A 50% index return results in $510 additional and $1,510 total payment. These examples assume a hypothetical initial index value of 100 and 102% participation.
These hypothetical returns apply only if notes are held to maturity and exclude secondary market fees and expenses, which would likely reduce actual returns.
Index Selection and Historical Data
The S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index (Bloomberg ticker SPXFP) underlies the notes. The initial index value was 596.71 on pricing date; the final value is set on July 17, 2029. The three-year period defines the performance measurement window.
Index returns are calculated as (Final Value minus Initial Value) divided by Initial Value, with gains amplified by the 102% participation rate on positive returns.
Secondary Market and Trading Considerations
While primary offering terms are detailed, the filing notes that secondary market fees and expenses reduce hypothetical returns. The notes trade with a $1,000 minimum denomination and CUSIP 46661CTB2. Liquidity and bid-ask spreads depend on market conditions and may differ from primary offering terms.
