New Issue: JPMorgan prices $453,000 20% upside auto callable reverse exchangeables linked to GM

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 29 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $453,000 of upside auto callable reverse exchangeable notes due Dec. 1, 2008 linked to the common stock of General Motors Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The six-month notes will pay 10% for an annualized coupon of 20%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless GM stock falls by more than 40% during the life of the notes and finishes below the initial share price, in which case the payout will be a number of GM shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at JPMorgan's option, the equivalent value in cash.

The notes will be automatically called at par if the closing price of GM shares on Aug. 26, 2008 is greater than the initial share price.

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