New Issue: JPMorgan prices $575,000 19% notes linked to least-performing stock in energy basket

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, April 22 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $575,000 of 19% annualized reverse exchangeable notes due Oct. 23, 2008 linked to the least-performing common stock in a basket of five companies, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the common stock of Peabody Energy Corp., Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., Halliburton Co., Schlumberger Ltd. and Exxon Mobil Corp.

Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par if every basket stock stays at or above 60% of its initial level during the life of the notes. Otherwise, the payout will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to par divided by the initial price of that stock, or the equivalent in cash.

If the value of the shares is greater than $1,000, investors will instead receive par in cash.

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