New Issue: HSBC prices $1.35 million callable notes linked to biotech, tech ETFs

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 27 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.35 million of callable notes with contingent return due June 28, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund and the Technology Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Every six months, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 8.8% per year if each ETF closes at or above its coupon trigger, 60% of its initial share price, on the observation date for that semiannual period.

The notes are callable at par semiannually.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par unless the return of the lesser-performing ETF is less than negative 40%, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing ETF declines from its initial share price.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
