New Issue: HSBC prices $500,000 knock-out buffer notes linked to Indonesian rupiah

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 28 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $500,000 of 0% knock-out buffer notes due July 11, 2013 linked to the performance of the Indonesian rupiah relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-out event occurs if the rupiah has depreciated on July 3, 2013 by more than 20% as compared to the initial spot rate.

If a knock-out event occurs, investors will be fully exposed to the depreciation of the rupiah. If a knock-out event does not occur, the payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of the currency return and 7.75%.

The currency return is the quotient of (a) the initial spot rate minus the final spot rate divided by (b) the initial spot rate.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as dealer.
