New Issue: HSBC USA sells $1.28 million 12% reverse convertibles linked to five stocks

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Oct. 19 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.28 million of 12% annualized reverse convertible notes due April 23, 2008 linked to an equally weighted basket of five stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying stocks are Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes SA, Headwaters Inc., Collective Brands, Inc., Sepracor Inc. and Imperial Sugar Co.

Interest is payable monthly.

For each stock, the payout at maturity will be $200.00 unless that stock falls below its barrier price - 65% of its initial share price - during the life of the notes and finishes below its initial share price, in which case the payout for that stock will be a number of its shares equal to $200.00 divided by the initial share price or, at HSBC's option, the equivalent cash value.
