By Jennifer Chiou

New York, March 2 - HSBC Bank USA, NA plans to price 0% knock-out barrier certificates of deposit due March 30, 2016 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a term sheet.

If the index remains below the knock-out barrier of 145% to 155% of the initial level during the life of the CDs, investors will receive par plus the index return. If the index closes at or beyond the barrier, the payout will be par plus the 8% knock-out return. The exact terms will be set at pricing.

The CDs will be putable on March 30, 2012, March 28, 2013, March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015.

The CDs (Cusip: 40431GPB9) will price on March 24 and settle on March 29.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
