By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 23 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $2.2 million of callable barrier notes with contingent return due Aug. 25, 2027 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Every six months, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 10.25% if the index closes at or above its coupon trigger, 83.5% of the initial index level, on the observation date for that semiannual period.

Beginning Aug. 27, 2018, the notes will be callable at par on any semiannual call payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the index finishes below its barrier level, 70% of the initial index level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final index level is below the initial index level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
