New Issue: JPMorgan prices $1.5 million 11.75% upside auto callable reverse exchangeables tied to Wells Fargo

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Oct. 29 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $1.5 million of 11.75% upside auto callable single observation reverse exchangeable notes due Oct. 29, 2010 linked to the common stock of Wells Fargo & Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes will be automatically called at par if Wells Fargo stock closes above the initial share price any of four evaluation dates. The notes will pay an interest rate of 2.9375% if called on Jan. 27, 2010, 5.875% if called on April 27, 2010, 8.8125% if called on July 27, 2010 or 11.75% if called on Oct. 26, 2010.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par unless the closing price of Wells Fargo stock is less than 70% of the initial share price on the observation date of Oct. 26, 2010. In that case, the payout will be a number of Wells Fargo 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.
