New Issue: HSBC prices $2.28 million 7% autocallable yield notes tied to S&P 500, Russell 2000

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Sept. 14 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $2.28 million of 7% autocallable yield notes due Sept. 18, 2013 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes will be called at par if the closing level of each underlying index is at or above its initial level on any quarterly call observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index falls below its trigger level - 75% of its initial level - on any day during the life of the notes and the return of the worst-performing index is negative, in which case investors will receive par plus the return of the worst-performing index.
