New Issue: HSBC prices $8.83 million contingent income autocallables on indexes

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Oct. 25 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $8.83 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Oct. 26, 2021 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 6.8% if each index closes at or above the 75% coupon barrier level on the applicable quarterly determination date.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any of the quarterly determination dates, beginning with the fourth determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any, unless either index finishes below the 55% downside threshold level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performing index.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management handling distribution.
