HSBC plans autocallable contingent income barrier notes on indexes

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., March 7 – HSBC USA Inc. plans to price autocallable contingent income barrier notes due Sept. 29, 2021 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index, S&P 500 index and Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of at least 4% if each index closes at or above its trigger level, 50% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any coupon observation date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless any index finishes more than 50% below its initial level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest performing index.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.

The notes will price March 8.

The Cusip is 40435UHX5.
