Buffalo, N.Y., Oct. 7 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.05 million of autocallable contingent income barrier notes due April 8, 2024 linked to the least performing of the stocks of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and Carnival Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annualized rate of 47.88% if each stock closes at or above its coupon trigger level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.
The notes will be called at par plus the coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial level on any monthly call observation date after six months.
If the notes are not called and each stock finishes at or above its coupon trigger, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon.
If the worst performer finishes below its coupon trigger but at or above its 50% barrier, the payout will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing stock from its initial level.
HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
