New Issue: HSBC prices $5 million autocallable buffered range accrual notes linked to mining stocks

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 13 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $5 million of autocallable buffered range accrual notes due June 18, 2018 linked to a basket of common stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes equal weights of BHP Billiton Ltd., Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. and Rio Tinto plc.

The interest rate is 6.5% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the basket level is greater than or equal to the accrual level, 80% of the initial basket level. Interest is payable quarterly.

Beginning June 11, 2014, the notes will be automatically called at par if the basket closes at or above its initial level on any annual call observation date.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par if the basket finishes at or above the buffer level, which is 80% of the initial level. Investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the basket declines beyond 20%, if any.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
