Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to furnish investors with the presentation slides (Exhibit 99.1) used during JPMorgan Chase's investor presentation on their first quarter 2010 earnings. This allows investors to review the detailed information and context provided by the firm regarding their quarterly performance.

This filing primarily serves to provide supplemental materials for an investor presentation. While it discusses Q1 2010 earnings, the information in Exhibit 99.1 is furnished and is meant to elaborate on previously announced results, rather than presenting new definitive financial statements.

When information is 'furnished' under Regulation FD, as the presentation slides are in this case, it means the company is disclosing the information to the public without assuming the same level of legal liability as if it were formally 'filed' with the SEC under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means the furnished information does not carry the same legal weight or potential for liability concerning misstatements or omissions.

The detailed information and analysis of JPM's first quarter 2010 financial results are contained within the presentation slides, which are provided as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. Investors should refer to these slides for a comprehensive overview.
