New Issue: JPMorgan prices $1.38 million 23% auto callable reverse exchangeables linked to RIM

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 26 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced a $1.38 million issue of 23% upside auto callable reverse exchangeable notes due Aug. 27, 2008 linked to the common stock of Research In Motion Ltd., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of RIM stock on May 22 is greater than the initial share price. Investors will receive par plus accrued interest.

If the closing price of RIM stock falls below the knock-in price - 60% of the initial value - during the life of the notes and the final share price is less than the initial price, the payout at maturity will be a number of RIM shares equal to par divided by the initial share price or, at JPMorgan's option, the equivalent cash value.

Otherwise, the payout at maturity will be par.

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