New Issue: HSBC sells $581,000 autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium on indexes

By Taylor Fox

New York, Oct. 26 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $581,000 of 0% autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium due Sept. 28, 2023 linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones industrial average, the Nasdaq-100 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus a call premium if each index closes at or above its initial level on the any semiannual observation date. The premium is 14% per year.

If all indexes close above their initial levels on the final valuation date, investors will receive par plus the final 42% call premium.

If note called, the payout will be par unless any index has finished below its 70% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
