Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 31 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $12.87 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due Aug. 31, 2018 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will be automatically called at par of $10 plus a call premium of 11.05% per year if the index closes at or above the initial index level on Sept. 2, 2016 or Aug. 18, 2017
If the notes are not called and the final index level is greater than the step-up value, 125% of the initial index level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return.
If the final index level is greater than or equal to the initial level but less than or equal to the step-up value, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment, 25%.
If the final index level is less than the initial level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline.
