New Issue: HSBC sells $3.11 million 10% autocallable yield notes tied to S&P 500, Russell 2000

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Sept. 27 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $3.11 million of autocallable yield notes due Sept. 28, 2011 linked to the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 indexes, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be 10%, payable quarterly.

The notes will be called at par plus accrued interest if the indexes close above their initial levels on any quarterly observation date.

A trigger event will occur if either index falls below the trigger level, 75% of the initial level, on any trading day.

If a trigger event does not occur or, if a trigger event occurs but the index gains, the payout at maturity will be par.

If a trigger event occurs and the return of the least-performing index is negative, investors will share in those losses.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
