Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders |
On November 16, 2017, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (the “Firm”) issued a press release announcing that on December 18, 2017 (the “Liquidation Date”), the Delaware trusts that issued the below seven series of trust preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) will be liquidated, the Trust Preferred Securities and the trust common securities (the “Trust Common Securities”) issued by those trusts will be cancelled, and the junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) currently held by each trust issuer will be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities issued by that trust, all in accordance with the trust agreement relating to each trust issuer.
The Trust Preferred Securities are as follows:
• | JPMorgan Chase Capital XXIII Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series W |
• | JPMorgan Chase Capital XXI Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series U |
• | JPMorgan Chase Capital XIII Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series M |
• | Chase Capital VI Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series F |
• | Chase Capital III Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series C |
• | Chase Capital II Global Floating Rate Capital Securities, Series B |
• | First Chicago NBD Capital I Floating Rate Preferred Securities |
On the Liquidation Date, each $1,000 in liquidation amount of each series of the Trust Preferred Securities will be exchanged for $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of Debentures, and the principal amount of each series of the Debentures that is distributed to JPMorgan Chase & Co., as the holder of the corresponding series of Trust Common Securities, will be extinguished.
No action by the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities is required in order to effect the cancellation of the Trust Preferred Securities and the distribution of the Debentures. The exchange of the Trust Preferred Securities for the Debentures will be effected by The Bank of New York Mellon, as the property trustee or the institutional trustee, as the case may be, for each of the trust issuers and as the trustee under the indenture pursuant to which the Debentures were issued, through the facilities and following the procedures of The Depository Trust Company.
The next scheduled interest payment on each series of the Debentures will include any accrued and unpaid distributions on the corresponding series of Trust Preferred Securities.
A copy of the press release referenced above is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
