New Issue: HSBC prices $28.72 million autocallable step-up notes linked to Euro Stoxx 50

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 28 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $28.72 million of 0% autocallable market-linked step-up notes due Aug. 25, 2022 linked to the Euro Stoxx 50 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 8.8% per year if the index closes at or above the initial index level on any annual call observation date.

If the notes are not called and the final index level is greater than the step-up value, 140% 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, 40%.

If the final index level is less than the initial level but greater than or equal to the threshold value, 85% of the initial index level, the payout will be par.

If the final index level is less than the threshold value, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the index declines beyond 15%.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
