New Issue: JPMorgan prices $5.94 million 0% notes linked to buffered return enhanced index basket

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 25 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $5.94 million of 0% notes due April 3, 2009 linked to a basket of three buffered return enhanced components, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket contains the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 55% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 25% weight and the Topix index with a 20% weight.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return, which will equal the sum of the weighted returns for the basket indexes. The payment will be capped at $1,174.35 per $1,000 principal amount.

If a basket index finishes above its initial level, its return will equal twice the gain, capped at 17.7% for the Euro Stoxx, 15.6% for the FTSE 100 and 19% for the Topix.

If a basket index falls by up to 10%, the return will be zero. If the index falls below 10%, the payout will be 1.1111 times the decline beyond 10%.

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