New Issue: HSBC corrects amount of barrier optimization securities on S&P 500 to $8.57 million

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Sept. 30 - HSBC USA Inc. revised the amount of its issue of 0% barrier optimization securities with partial protection due Dec. 30, 2010 linked to the S&P 500 index to $8,568,890, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All other terms remain unchanged.

If the index closes above the index barrier on any day during the life of the notes, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 4%. The index barrier is 130.50% of the initial index level.

Otherwise, the payout will be:

• Par plus the index return if the final index level is greater than the initial level;

• Par if the index declines by 15% or less; or

• Par minus 1% for every 1% that the index declines beyond 15%.
