New Issue: HSBC prices $647,000 autocallable barrier notes linked to S&P 500, biotech ETF

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 30 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $647,000 of 0% autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium due Jan. 2, 2024 linked to the S&P 500 index and the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus a call premium of 13.4% if each underlying closes at or above its call level, 90% of its initial level, on any annual observation date.

If the final return of the lesser-performing underlying is less than negative 10% – and therefore the notes are not called – but greater than or equal to negative 30%, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlying’s final level is less than its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
