Summary

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) filed an 8-K on October 24, 2018, to announce an extension for holders of its outstanding warrants to exercise those warrants. The original expiration date was Sunday, October 28, 2018. Due to this date falling on a weekend, the effective exercise period has been extended to Monday, October 29, 2018, at the cutoff time set by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC).

Investors holding these warrants should be aware of this extended timeline and ensure they complete the exercise process before the final cutoff on October 29, 2018, to avoid losing their investment value.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to inform holders of JPMorgan Chase & Co. warrants about an extension of the deadline to exercise their warrants due to the original expiration date falling on a weekend.

The new deadline to exercise the warrants is Monday, October 29, 2018, up to the cutoff time set by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) for such exercises.

If your warrants are not exercised prior to DTCC's cutoff time on Monday, October 29, 2018, they will become void, and you will not receive any shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock. You will lose the potential value of your warrants.

The deadline was extended because the original expiration date, Sunday, October 28, 2018, was not a trading day on the NYSE. The extension provides warrant holders with additional business days to complete their exercise.
