By Kiku Steinfeld

Chicago, Dec. 17 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $11.85 million of 0% autocallable barrier notes due Nov. 26, 2024 linked to 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 10% per year if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date after one year.

If the notes are not called, the payout will be par unless any index finishes below its 65% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the lesser performing index from its initial level.
