By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Nov. 28 - HSBC USA Inc. priced a $364,000 issue of 27% down & in worst of reverse convertible notes due May 30, 2008 linked to a basket of 10 stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying securities are the common stocks of Altria Group, Inc., Citigroup Inc., AT&T Inc., Pfizer Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Merck & Co., Inc., General Electric Co., Verizon Communications Inc., General Motors Corp. and E.I. DuPont De Nemours and Co.

The payout will be based on the performance of the basket of reference assets during the life of the notes. At maturity, investors will receive par unless the market price of any stock falls below the protection price - 65% of the initial price - during the life of the notes and finishes below the initial price, in which case the payout will be a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by its initial price.
