New Issue: HSBC sells $386,000 autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium on indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 8 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $386,000 of 0% autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium due Nov. 30, 2023 linked to the least performing of the S&P 500 index, the Nasdaq-100 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus a call premium if each index closes at or above its initial level on the any semiannual observation date. The premium is 12.3% per year.

If the notes are not called, meaning the final level of at least one of the indexes is less than its initial level, the payout will be par unless any index has finished below its 70% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
