Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 12 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $18.78 million of contingent coupon buffered securities with trigger upside and downside participation due Jan. 12, 2022 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A knock-out event will occur if the index closes below its coupon trigger, 80% of the initial index level, on any day during the life of the notes.
Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 4.57% per year unless a knock-out event occurs during that month, in which case no coupon will be paid for that or any subsequent month.
The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-out event has occurred, in which case the payout per $1,000 principal amount of notes will be $1,000 multiplied by 125% of the sum of one plus the index return plus 20%. This amount will be greater than par if the index return is greater than negative 20%.
HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
