By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, April 15 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $14.83 million of 0% buffered return enhanced notes due April 24, 2009 linked to a basket of five indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Amex Hong Kong 30 index with a 16.5% weight, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 index with a 28% weight, the Korea Stock Price Index 200 with a 26.5% weight, the MSCI Singapore index with an 8% weight and the MSCI Taiwan index with a 21% weight.

If the final basket level is at least the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 200% of any basket gain, subject to a maximum payout equal to 121.6% of par.

If the basket declines by up to 10%, the payout will be par. Investors will lose 1.1111% for each 1% that the basket declines beyond 10%.
