By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 3 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $3 million of buffered accrual securities due April 5, 2018 linked to the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly. The interest payment per note will be $1,000 multiplied by the coupon rate divided by four. The coupon rate will be 5.5% multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the barrier level, which is 65% of the initial index level.

If the final index level is greater than or equal to the barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the index declines below the barrier level.
