HSBC plans to price one-year Stars linked to S&P 500 index

By Tali Rackner

Norfolk, Va., Nov. 2 – HSBC USA Inc. plans to price 0% Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities due December 2016 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus an annualized call premium if the index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly review date. The premium will be between 3.5% and 5.5% if called on the first review date, 5.25% to 8.25% if called on the second date and 7% to 11% if called on the final date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the index falls, in which case investors will be exposed to any losses.

Merrill Lynch & Co. is the agent.

The notes will price in November and settle in December.
