New Issue: JPMorgan prices $28.55 million notes linked to buffered return enhanced indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 30 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $28.55 million of 0% notes due June 12, 2013 linked to a weighted basket of three buffered return enhanced components, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 55% weight, the Topix index with a 23% weight and the FTSE 100 index with a 22% weight. The indexes' underlying currencies are the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound sterling, respectively.

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.

The initial level of each index is its closing level on the pricing date multiplied by the exchange rate of its underlying currency relative to the dollar on that day. The final level of each index will be the average of its converted closing levels on the five trading days ending June 7, 2013.

If an index's final level is greater than its initial level, its component return will be double its return, subject to a maximum return of 21.8% for each index. If the index declines by 10% or less, its component return will be zero. If the index declines by more than 10%, its component return will be 1.1111 times the sum of its return plus 10%.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the agent.
