Knoxville, Tenn., March 20 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $16.54 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due March 24, 2023 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will be automatically called at par of $10 plus a call premium of 6.1% per year if the index closes at or above the initial index level on any of the five annual call dates.
If the notes are not called and the final index level is greater than the step-up value, 135% of the initial index level, 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 less than or equal to the step-up value, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment, 35%.
Investors will receive par if the index declines by up to 15%.
If the final index level is less than 85% of the initial level, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline beyond 15%.
BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
