New Issue: HSBC prices $1.4 million 11.25% contingent return callables tied to funds

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, April 27 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.4 million of callable notes with contingent return due April 27, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent semiannual coupon at an annualized rate of 11.25% if each fund closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the observation date for that period.

The notes are callable at par on any review date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either asset finishes below its 70% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing fund.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
