New Issue: HSBC prices $6.39 million buffered autocallables with rebate return on indexes

By Tali Rackner

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 23 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $6.39 million of buffered autocallable yield notes with rebate return due April 26, 2017 linked to the worse performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each index closes at or above its initial level on any call observation date, the notes will be automatically called at par plus an annualized call premium. The call premium will be 4.5% at April 21, 2016, 9% at Oct. 21, 2016, and 13.5% at Oct. 21, 2017.

If the notes are not called and the final return of the lesser performing index is less than zero but greater than or equal to negative 15%, the payout at maturity will be par plus the rebate return of 9%.

If the final return of the lesser performing index is less than negative 15%, investors will lose 1.1765% for every 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
