New Issue: HSBC sells $1.43 million contingent return barrier autocallables on Russell, S&P 500

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 2 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.43 million of autocallable barrier notes with contingent return due Oct. 31, 2018 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 5% if each index closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly review date beginning Jan. 26, 2018.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless either index finishes below its initial level and ever closes below its 70% trigger during the life of the notes, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the underwriter.
