New Issue: HSBC sells $1.49 million contingent income autocallables on LinkedIn

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., July 21 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.49 million of contingent income autocallable securities due July 21, 2016 linked to LinkedIn Corp. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 11.25% if the shares close at or above the 75% downside threshold level on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the stock closes at or above the initial price on any of the first three quarterly determination dates.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless the shares finish below the 75% downside threshold level, in which case investors will receive a number of LinkedIn shares equal to $10 divided by the initial price or, at the issuer’s option, the cash equivalent.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management handling distribution.
