New Issue: HSBC prices $2.02 million contingent return barrier autocallables on index, EM fund

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, April 27 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $2.02 million of autocallable barrier notes with contingent return due May 16, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus an annual premium of 14% if each asset closes at or above its redemption threshold on any review date.

The call threshold will be 100% of the initial level on the first observation date, stepping down to 97.5% on the second review date, to 95% on the third date and to 92.5% on the fourth date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus 10% unless either asset finishes below its 70% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing fund.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
