New Issue: JPMorgan prices $30,000 head-start buffered equity knock-out notes linked to S&P 500

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 29 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $30,000 of 0% head-start buffered equity knock-out notes due Dec. 29, 2010 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 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 - during the life of the notes. If such a knock-out event occurs, then the payout at maturity will be par plus 6%.

If no knock-out event occurs, then the payout will be:

• Par plus the index return plus 10% if the final index level is at least 90% of the initial level;

• Par if the final index level is at least 70% of the initial level and less than 90% of the initial level; and

• Par minus 1% for every 1% that the final level is below 70% of the initial level.

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