HSBC to price five-year best of performance notes linked to S&P 500

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, May 8 - HSBC USA Inc. plans to price 0% best of performance notes due May 28, 2014 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A trigger event will occur if the index falls below the barrier level, which is expected to be 50% to 55% of the initial level.

If a trigger event has occurred, the payout will be par plus any index gain. Investors will receive par for losses up to 10% and will share in losses beyond 10%.

If a trigger event does not occur, the payout will be the greater of the 25% contingent minimum return or the index return.

The notes are expected to price on May 22 and settle on May 28.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
