New Issue: JPMorgan prices $1 million upside knock-out buffered equity notes tied to S&P 500

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Sept. 9 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $1 million of 0% upside knock-out buffered equity notes due Dec. 9, 2010 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-out event will occur if the index closes above the knock-out level - 140% of the initial index level - on any day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-out event has occurred, the payout at maturity will be:

• Par plus the 9.75% knock-out rate if the final index level is at least 90% of the initial level; or

• Par plus the knock-out rate and minus 1% for every 1% that the final index level is below 90% of the initial level.

If a knock-out event does not occur, the payout at maturity will be:

• Par plus the index return if the index finishes above its initial level;

• Par if the index finishes below the initial level by 10% or less; or

• Par minus 1% for every 1% that it declines beyond 10%.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is the agent.
