New Issue: HSBC prices $2.6 million autocallable yield notes tied to four indexes

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, March 25 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $2.6 million of autocallable yield notes due April 8, 2020 linked to the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index, the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the Nikkei 225 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes pay interest at a floating rate equal to Libor plus 500 basis points, subject to a floor of 0%. Interest is payable quarterly.

Beginning on April 8, 2016, the notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any annual call observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its trigger level, 70% of its initial level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the worst-performing index finishes below its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
