By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Oct. 4 - HSBC USA Inc. plans to price 0% airbag performance securities due Oct. 31, 2022 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus 175% to 190% of the return. The exact participation rate will be set at pricing.

If the index return is zero or negative but greater than or equal to negative 50%, the payout will be par.

If the index return is less than negative 50%, investors will lose 2% for every 1% that the index declines beyond 50%.

The notes are expected to price Oct. 26 and settle Oct. 31.
