New Issue: HSBC sells $659,000 5.65% contingent return barrier autocalls on indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 8 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $659,000 of autocallable barrier notes with contingent return due Feb. 26, 2025 linked to the lesser 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 5.65% if each index closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each asset closes at or above its initial level on any review date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless either asset finishes below its 60% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
