New Issue: HSBC prices $5.21 million autocallable step-up notes linked to Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 12 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $5.21 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due June 24, 2022 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 6.55% per year if the index closes at or above the initial index level on June 22, 2018, June 21, 2019, June 19, 2020 or June 18, 2021.

If the notes are not called and the final index level is greater than the step-up value, 135% 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, 35%.

If the final index level is less than the initial level by up to 15%, the payout will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the index declines beyond 15%.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
