New Issue: JPMorgan prices $20.13 million notes linked to buffered return enhanced indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 12 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $20.13 million of 0% notes due Oct. 24, 2012 linked to a weighted basket of three buffered return enhanced components, each converted into dollars, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 53% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 24% weight and the Topix index with a 23% weight.

The initial level of each index was converted into dollars from its underlying currency, which is the euro for the Euro Stoxx 50, the British pound sterling for the FTSE 100 and the Japanese yen for the Topix index.

The final level of each index will be the average of its converted closing levels on the five trading days ending Oct. 19, 2012.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return, which will equal the sum of the weighted component returns of the basket indexes.

If an index's final level is greater than its initial level, its component return will be double the underlying return, subject to a maximum return of 34.96% for the Euro Stoxx 50, 23.48% for the FTSE 100 and 9.46% for the Topix. If the index's level declines by up to 10%, its component return will be zero. If the index's level declines by more than 10%, its component return will be 1.1111 times the sum of the index return plus 10%.

Due to the maximum returns, the maximum payout at maturity is $1,263.40 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the agent.
