New Issue: HSBC sells $1 million callable contingent income barrier notes on Dow, Russell, Nasdaq

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 30 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1 million of callable contingent income barrier notes due March 25, 2027 linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 15.25% if each index closes at or above its coupon trigger level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.

The notes will be callable at par plus any coupon due on any quarterly observation date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any, unless any index finishes below its 50% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest performing index.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
