San Luis Obispo, Calif., Nov. 5 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $9.27 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Nov. 6, 2014 linked to Netflix, Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If Netflix stock closes at or above the 65% downside threshold level on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment at an annual rate of 18.8% for that quarter.
If the stock closes at or above the initial share price on any of the first three quarterly determination dates, the notes will be redeemed at par of $10 plus the contingent payment.
If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent payment unless the stock finishes below the 65% downside threshold level, in which case the payout will be a number of Netflix shares equal to $10 divided by the initial share price or, at the issuer's option, the cash equivalent.
HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent with distribution through Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
