By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., July 7 - HSBC USA Inc. plans to price 0% autocallable optimization securities with contingent protection due Aug. 3, 2010 linked to the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the fund closes above its initial share price on any of 12 monthly observation dates, the notes will be called and investors will receive par of $10 plus an annualized return of 17% to 21% that will be set at pricing.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par if the final share price is at least 75% of the initial price. Otherwise, investors will receive par plus the share price return.

The notes are expected to price July 28 and settle July 31.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and HSBC USA Inc. are the underwriters.
