New Issue: JPMorgan prices $2.1 million autocallable contingent interest notes linked to S&P, Russell

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., July 30 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $2.1 million of autocallable contingent interest notes due July 31, 2014 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each index closes at or above its trigger level, 60% of its initial level, on a quarterly review date, the notes will pay a 2.575% coupon that quarter, which is equivalent to 10.3% per year. If either index closes below the trigger level on the review date, no coupon will be paid that quarter.

If each index closes at or above its initial level on any of the review dates other than the final review date, the notes will be automatically called at par plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes have not been called and (a) the level of each index is greater than or equal to its trigger level at all times on each day during the life of the notes or (b) the final level of each index is greater than or equal to its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes have not been called and (a) the level of either index is less than its trigger level at any time on any day during the life of the notes and (b) the final level of either index is less than its initial level, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final level of the lesser-performing index is less than its initial level, subject to any contingent coupon payable at maturity.
