Chicago, Sept. 28 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $43.05 million of autocallable market-linked step-up notes due Sept. 28, 2018 linked to the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus a call premium of 13.55% per year if the index closes at or above its initial level on either of two annual call observation dates.
