New Issue: HSBC prices $8 million 6.8% contingent yield trigger autocalls on funds

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 6 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $8 million of trigger callable contingent yield notes due Dec. 1, 2020 linked to the least performing of the iShares Russell 2000 exchange-traded fund and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 6.8% if each fund closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the review date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each fund closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless either fund finishes below its 70% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing fund.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. are the agents.
