By Toni Weeks
San Diego, Feb. 29 - HSBC USA Inc. plans to price market-linked step-up notes due March 2014 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If the final index level is greater than the step-up value - 116% to 122% of the initial value - the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return.
If the final index level is greater than or equal to the initial level but is below the step-up value, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment of 16% to 22%.
Investors will be fully exposed to any losses.
The exact terms will be set at pricing.
The notes are expected to price in March and settle in April.
