New Issue: JPMorgan prices $8.29 million contingent income autocallables linked to Bank of America

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 3 – JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $8.29 million of contingent income autocallable securities with step-up redemption threshold level feature due Sept. 1, 2017 linked to the common stock of Bank of America Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Bank of America shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 8.25%.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Bank of America shares close at or above the redemption threshold level on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date. The redemption threshold level is 105% of the initial share price on determination dates one through four, 110% of the initial share price on determination dates five through eight and 115% of the initial share price on determination dates nine through 11.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will receive a cash amount equal to the value of a number of Bank of America shares equal to $10 divided by the initial share price. The issuer has the option to pay Bank of America shares instead of cash.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the agent. Distribution is through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC.
