New Issue: HSBC sells $13.45 million autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium on indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 17 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $13.45 million of 0% autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium and step-down call threshold due Dec. 17, 2024 linked to the lesser performing of the FTSE 100 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus a call premium if each index closes at or above its initial level on any of the first five quarterly observation dates or 95% of its initial level on any quarterly observation date starting on June 14, 2021. The call premium is 10% per year.

The payout will be par plus the 10% contingent return unless any index has finished below its 70% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
