New Issue: JPMorgan prices $1.42 million 20% notes linked to least-performing of four financial stocks

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Feb. 26 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced $1.42 million of 20% reverse exchangeable notes due Aug. 29, 2008 linked to the least-performing common stock of four financial companies, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the common stock of Bank of America Corp.; Citigroup Inc.; Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.

The payout at maturity will be par if every basket stock stays at or above 80% of its initial level during the life of the notes, or if every basket stock finishes at or above its initial level.

Otherwise, the payout will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to par divided by the initial price of that stock, or the equivalent in cash.

The protection price for each stock will be 80% of its initial share price.

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