HSBC plans to price knock-out buffer notes linked to iShares MSCI EM

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, Jan. 24 - HSBC USA Inc. plans to price 0% knock-out buffer notes due Feb. 13, 2013 linked to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index fund, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-out event occurs if the fund falls by more than 20% on the final valuation date.

If a knock-out event does not occur, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent return of 11.65%, or $1,165 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

If a knock-out event occurs, the payout at maturity will be par plus the fund return, with full exposure to losses.

The notes (Cusip: 4042K1WE9) are expected to price Jan. 27 and settle Feb. 1.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as the agent.
