New Issue: HSBC prices $5.6 million dual directional worst-of autocallables linked to Russell, EAFE ETF

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 6 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $5.6 million of 0% worst-of autocallable notes with dual directional feature due Feb. 6, 2017 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the iShares MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus 9.5% per year if each underlying component closes at or above its initial level on Feb. 3, 2016, Aug. 3, 2016 or Feb. 1, 2017.

If the notes are not called and the final return of the lesser-performing underlying component is less than zero but greater than or equal to negative 15%, the payout at maturity will be par plus the absolute value of the return of the lesser-performing underlying component. Otherwise, investors will lose 1.17647% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlying component declines beyond 15%.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
