New Issue: JPMorgan sells $500,000 14% upside auto callable reverse exchangeables linked to Valero

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 29 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $500,000 of upside auto callable single observation reverse exchangeable notes due July 31, 2009 linked to the common stock of Valero Energy Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The six-month notes will pay 7% for an annualized coupon of 14%. Interest is payable monthly.

The notes will be automatically called at par if Valero stock closes above the initial share price on April 27, 2009.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the closing price of Valero stock on July 28, 2009 is less than 55% of the initial share price, in which case the payout will be a number of Valero shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at JPMorgan's option, the equivalent amount in cash.

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