What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to inform investors that JPMorgan Chase held an investor presentation to review its first quarter 2009 earnings and to furnish the presentation slides (Exhibit 99.1) for public access.

Where can I find the details of JPMorgan Chase's first quarter 2009 financial results?

The detailed financial results and analysis for the first quarter of 2009 are contained within the presentation slides, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing and are also available on JPMorgan Chase's investor relations website.

Is the information in Exhibit 99.1 considered officially 'filed' with the SEC?

No, the information in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished pursuant to Regulation FD and is not deemed 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means the company has limited liability under that specific section for the content of these slides, although they are made available to the public.

What does Regulation FD Disclosure mean in this context?

Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) ensures that when a company discloses material non-public information to certain individuals (like analysts), it must also make that information available to the general public. In this case, furnishing the presentation slides fulfills that requirement by making the Q1 2009 earnings review accessible to all investors.
