HSBC plans three-year performance securities with contingent protection linked to S&P 500

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Feb. 25 - HSBC USA Inc. plans to price 0% performance securities with contingent protection due March 31, 2011 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index stays at or above the trigger level - 75% of the initial level - during the life of the notes, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 times the index performance, subject to a minimum contingent return.

The minimum contingent return will be between 114% and 119% of par.

If the index falls below the trigger level at any time, the payout at maturity will be par times the index performance.

The notes are expected to price on March 26 and settle on March 31.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and HSBC USA Inc. will be the underwriters.
