New Issue: HSBC prices $138,000 contingent income autocallables linked to Russell, Nasdaq

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 30 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $138,000 of autocallable contingent income barrier notes due Jan. 27, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 5% per year if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 80% of its initial level, on the observation date for that month.

Beginning June 24, 2020, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any coupon observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either index finishes more than 20% below its initial level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index declines from its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
