$8,695,000 Contingent Income Callable Securities due January 24, 2025

**Based on the Performance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

The Contingent Income Callable Securities, which we refer to as the securities, do not guarantee the payment of interest or the repayment of the stated principal amount. Instead, the securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment at an annual rate of 8.25% of the stated principal amount, but only if the closing level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial index level, which we refer to as the coupon barrier level. The securities may be redeemed early **at our discretion** on any early redemption notice date, for an amount equal to the sum of the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly payment, if any, for the related quarterly observation date. An early redemption will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the underlying index. If the securities have not been previously redeemed and the final index level is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial index level, which we refer to as the downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the stated principal amount and, if applicable, the final contingent quarterly payment. However, if the securities have not been previously redeemed and the final index level is less than the downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the underlying index, as compared to the initial index level, on a 1 to 1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. As a result, investors must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire principal and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly payments. **Accordingly, the securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity.** Because payments on the securities are based on the performance of the underlying index, a decline beyond the coupon barrier level and/or downside threshold level, as applicable, will result in few or no contingent quarterly payments and/or a significant loss of your investment, as applicable. The securities are intended for investors who seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risks of principal loss and receiving few or no contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index. **All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of HSBC.**

Investment Summary

Contingent Income Callable Securities

Principal at Risk Securities

The Contingent Income Callable Securities due January 24, 2025 Based on the Performance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, which we refer to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment at an annual rate of 8.25% of the stated principal amount but only if the closing level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial index level, which we refer to as the coupon barrier level. The contingent quarterly payment will be payable quarterly on the contingent payment date or the maturity date, as applicable. It is possible that the closing level of the underlying index could remain below the coupon barrier level for extended periods of time or even throughout the term of the securities so that you may receive few or no contingent quarterly payments.

The securities may be redeemed **at our discretion** on any early redemption notice date, for the principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment, if any, for the related quarterly observation date. An early redemption will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the underlying index. If the securities have not been previously redeemed and the final index level is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial index level, which we refer to as the downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the stated principal amount and, if applicable, the final contingent quarterly payment. However, if the securities have not been previously redeemed and the final index level is less than the downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the underlying index, as compared to the initial index level, on a 1 to 1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire principal and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly payments. In addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index.

Contingent Income Callable Securities due January 24, 2025

**Based on the Performance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

Key Investment Rationale

The securities do not guarantee the payment of interest or any repayment of the stated principal amount. Instead, the securities offer investors an opportunity to earn a contingent quarterly payment at an annual rate of 8.25% of the stated principal amount, but only if the closing level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial index level, which we refer to as the coupon barrier level. The securities may be redeemed **at our discretion** on any early redemption notice date prior to maturity for the stated principal amount per security *plus* the contingent quarterly payment, if any, with respect to the related quarterly observation date. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment at maturity will vary depending on the final index level, as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Scenario 1** | **On the quarterly observation dates, the official closing level for the underlying index is greater than or equal to the coupon barrier level. The final index level is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level. The Issuer chooses not to redeem the securities prior to maturity.**<br> ▪ For each of the quarterly observation dates, investors will receive the contingent quarterly payment.<br> ▪ The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount *and* (ii) the final contingent quarterly payment.<br> ▪ Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index from the initial index level. |
| **Scenario 2** | **On the first 6 quarterly observation dates, the official closing level for the underlying index is greater than or equal to the coupon barrier level. On the final 2 quarterly observation dates, the official closing level of the underlying index is less than the coupon barrier level. The final index level is less than the downside threshold level. The Issuer chooses not to redeem the securities prior to maturity.**<br> ▪ For each of the first 6 quarterly observation dates, investors will receive the contingent quarterly payment.<br> ▪ The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount multiplied by (ii) the index performance factor. No final contingent quarterly payment will be paid at maturity in this scenario.<br> ▪ Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index from the initial index level.<br> ▪ **Investors will lose a significant portion, and may lose all, of their principal in this scenario.** |
| **Scenario 3** | **On the first 4 quarterly observation dates, the official closing level for the underlying index is less than the coupon barrier level. On the 5th quarterly observation date, the official closing level for the underlying index is greater than or equal to the coupon barrier level. The Issuer chooses to redeem the securities on the 5th early redemption notice date.**<br> ▪ For the first 4 quarterly observation dates, investors will not receive the contingent quarterly payment.<br> ▪ The early redemption payment will be (i) the stated principal amount *and* (ii) the contingent quarterly payment for the 5th quarterly observation date.<br> ▪ Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index from the initial index level.<br>|

Hypothetical Examples

The below examples are based on the following terms:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Hypothetical Initial Index Level: | &nbsp;&nbsp;100.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Hypothetical Coupon Barrier Level: | &nbsp;&nbsp;70.00, which is 70% of the hypothetical initial index level |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level: | &nbsp;&nbsp;70.00, which is 70% of the hypothetical initial index level |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Contingent Quarterly Payment: | &nbsp;&nbsp;8.25% per annum (corresponding to $20.625 (or 2.0625%) per quarter per security) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Stated Principal Amount: | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1,000.00 per security |

**How to determine whether a contingent quarterly coupon is payable with respect to a quarterly coupon observation date:**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Early Redemption Example** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Early Redemption Example** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Early Redemption Example** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Hypothetical Quarterly<br> Observation Dates** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Lowest Index Closing Value on the Applicable Quarterly <br> Observation Date** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Contingent Quarterly <br> Payment** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#1** | &nbsp;&nbsp;50.00 (**below** the coupon barrier level) | &nbsp;&nbsp;N/A |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#2** | &nbsp;&nbsp;50.00 (**below** the coupon barrier level) | &nbsp;&nbsp;N/A |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#3** | &nbsp;&nbsp;85.00 (**at or above** the coupon barrier level) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$20.625 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#4** | &nbsp;&nbsp;50.00 (**below** the coupon barrier level) | &nbsp;&nbsp;N/A |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#5** | &nbsp;&nbsp;85.00 (**at or above** the coupon barrier level) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$20.625 |

---

▪ In **Early Redemption Example**, on the hypothetical quarterly observation date #3, the underlying index closes at or above the coupon
barrier level. Therefore, a contingent quarterly coupon is paid on the relevant coupon payment date. On the hypothetical quarterly observation
dates #1, #2, and #4 the underlying index closes below the coupon barrier level. Therefore, no contingent quarterly coupon is paid on
the relevant contingent payment date. The securities are redeemed at our discretion on the 5th early redemption notice date. You would
receive the early redemption payment, calculated as follows:

stated principal amount + contingent quarterly payment = $1,000.00 + $20.625 = $1,020.625

*In this example, the early redemption feature limits the term of your investment to approximately 15 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities are redeemed early, you will not receive any additional contingent quarterly payments.*

**Principal at Risk Securities**

**How to calculate the payment at maturity (if the securities have not been redeemed):**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Example** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Index Closing Value on the Valuation Date (Final Index Value)** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Payment at Maturity** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#1** | &nbsp;&nbsp;85.00 (**at or above** the downside threshold level) | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1,000\* |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**#2** | &nbsp;&nbsp;50.00 (**below** the downside threshold level) | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1,000 × the index performance factor <br> = $1,000 × (50.00 /100.00)<br> = $500.00 |

---

\*In addition, the final contingent quarterly coupon will be payable if the official closing level of the underlying index is at or above the coupon barrier level on the final quarterly observation date.

▪ In **Example #1**, the final index level is at or above the downside threshold
level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount of the securities and, if the official closing level of the
underlying index is at or above the coupon barrier level on the final quarterly observation date, the contingent quarterly coupon with
respect to such date. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index.

▪ In **Examples #2**, The final index level is below the downside threshold
level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the underlying index at maturity and receive at maturity an amount
equal to the stated principal amount *multiplied by* the performance factor.

**If the final index value is below the downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the downside performance of the underlying index at maturity, and your payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.**

Risk Factors

*We urge you to read the section "Risk Factors" on page S-1 in the accompanying prospectus supplement and on page S-1 of the Equity Index Underlying Supplement. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the securities included in the underlying index. You should understand the risks of investing in the securities and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with your advisors, of the suitability of the securities in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this pricing supplement and the accompanying Equity Index Underlying Supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus.*

In addition to the risks discussed below, you should review "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and Equity Index Underlying Supplement, including the explanation of risks relating to the securities described in the following sections:

"— Risks Relating to All Note Issuances" in the prospectus supplement; and

"— General Risks Related to Indices" in the Equity Index Underlying Supplement.

You will be subject to significant risks not associated with conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt securities.

***Risks Relating to the Structure or Features of the Securities***

▪ **You may lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment.** The securities do not guarantee any return of principal.
The securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily pay the full principal amount of the securities at
maturity. HSBC will only pay you the principal amount of your securities at maturity if the securities have not been redeemed prior to
maturity and the final index level is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level. If the final index level is less than the
downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the underlying index, as compared to the initial
index level, on a 1 to 1 basis and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal
amount *times* the index performance factor. **In this case, the payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.** 

▪ **You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for any quarterly observation period where the official closing level of the underlying index on the relevant observation date is less than the coupon barrier level.** A contingent quarterly payment will be
made only if the closing level of the underlying index on **the relevant quarterly observation date** is greater than or equal to the
coupon barrier level. It is possible that the closing level of the underlying index could be below the coupon barrier level on the quarterly
observation dates so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments.

▪ **Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index, and your return on the securities is limited to the principal amount plus any contingent quarterly payments, regardless of any appreciation in the level of the underlying index.** Investors
will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying index from the initial index level regardless of any appreciation in the level
of the underlying index, which may be significant. The return on the securities will be limited to the contingent quarterly payments that
are payable if the closing level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date is greater than or equal to the coupon
barrier level. Accordingly, the return on the securities may be significantly less than the return on a direct investment in the securities
comprising the underlying index during the term of the securities.

▪ **The securities may be called prior to the maturity date.** If the securities are called early, the holding period over which
you will receive contingent quarterly payments could be as short as 3 months. If the securities are redeemed prior to the maturity date,
you will receive no more contingent quarterly payments. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an
investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk following an early redemption at our discretion. It is
more likely that we will redeem the securities when it would be advantageous for you to continue to hold the securities. As such, we will
be more likely to redeem the securities when the official closing level of the underlying index is at or above the coupon barrier level,
which could result in an amount of interest payable on the securities that is greater than instruments of a comparable maturity and credit
rating trading in the market. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the securities are paying an above-market
coupon.

Contingent Income Callable Securities due January 24, 2025

**Principal at Risk Securities**

On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our redemption right when the official closing level of the underlying index is below the coupon barrier level and/or when the final index level is expected to be below the downside threshold level, such that you will receive no contingent quarterly payments and/or that you will suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not exercise our redemption right, it is more likely that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments and suffer a significant loss at maturity.

▪ **The amounts payable on the securities are linked to the level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date.** The payments on the securities will be based on
 the closing level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date, subject
 to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events. Even if the level
 of the underlying index appreciates prior to an applicable contingent payment date but has
 decreased on the relevant quarterly observation date to a level that is below the coupon
 barrier level, the contingent quarterly payment on the securities will not be payable for
 that contingent payment date. Even if the level of the underlying index appreciates prior
 to the valuation date but then decreases by that day to a level that is below the downside
 threshold level, the payment at maturity will be less, and may be significantly less, than
 it would have been had the securities been linked to the level of the underlying index on
 a date prior to the valuation date. Although the actual level of the underlying index on
 the maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than
 the levels on one or more contingent payment dates, the payment at maturity will be based
 on the final index level, and the contingent quarterly payments, including the final contingent
 quarterly payment for the final quarterly observation date, will be based on the closing
 levels on the relevant quarterly observation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Higher contingent quarterly payments or a lower downside threshold level are generally associated with an underlying index with greater expected volatility and therefore can indicate a greater risk of loss.** "Volatility" refers to the frequency and
magnitude of changes in the level of the underlying index. The greater the expected volatility with respect to the underlying index on
the pricing date, the higher the expectation as of the pricing date that the level of the underlying index could close below the downside
threshold level on the valuation date, indicating a higher expected risk of loss on the securities. This greater expected risk will generally
be reflected in a higher contingent quarterly payment than the yield payable on our conventional debt securities with a similar maturity,
or in more favorable terms (such as a lower downside threshold level or a higher contingent quarterly payment) than for similar securities
linked to the performance of the underlying index with a lower expected volatility as of the pricing date. You should therefore understand
that a relatively higher contingent quarterly payment may indicate an increased risk of loss. Further, a relatively lower downside threshold
level may not necessarily indicate that the securities have a greater likelihood of a repayment of principal at maturity. The volatility
of the underlying index can change significantly over the term of the securities. The level of the underlying index for your securities
could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of
the underlying index and the potential to lose some or all of your principal at maturity.

***Risks Relating to the Underlying Index***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the securities included in the underlying index.** Investing in
the securities is not equivalent to investing in the component securities of the underlying index. Investors in the securities will not
have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the securities included in
the underlying index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities.** The publisher of the underlying index
may add, delete or substitute the securities comprising the underlying index. In addition, the publisher of the underlying index may make
other methodological changes that could change the level of the underlying index. Further, the publisher of the underlying index may discontinue
or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying index at any time. Any such actions could affect the value of and the return on
the securities.

***General Risk Factors***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Credit risk of HSBC USA Inc.** The securities are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer, HSBC, and are not, either
directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. As further described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus,
the securities will rank on par with all of the other unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of HSBC, except such obligations as
may be preferred by operation of law. Any payment to be made on the securities depends on the ability of HSBC to satisfy its obligations
as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of HSBC may affect the market value of the securities and, in
the event HSBC were to

**Principal at Risk Securities**

default on its obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities and could lose your entire investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **The estimated initial value of the securities, which was determined by us on the pricing date, is less than the price to public and may differ from the market value of the securities in the secondary market, if any.** The estimated initial value of the securities was calculated by us on the pricing date
and is less than the price to public. The estimated initial value reflects our and our affiliates' internal funding rate, which
is the borrowing rate paid to issue market-linked securities, as well as the mid-market value of the embedded derivatives in the securities.
This internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities.
As a result of the difference between our internal funding rate and the rate we would use when we issue conventional fixed or floating
rate debt securities, the estimated initial value of the securities may be lower if it were based on the prices at which our fixed or
floating rate debt securities trade in the secondary market. In addition, if we were to use the rate we use for our conventional fixed
or floating rate debt issuances, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. We determined the value
of the embedded derivatives in the securities by reference to our or our affiliates' internal pricing models. These pricing models
consider certain assumptions and variables, which can include volatility and interest rates. Different pricing models and assumptions
could provide valuations for the securities that are different from our estimated initial value. These pricing models rely in part on
certain forecasts about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. The estimated initial value does not represent a minimum price
at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **If HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. were to repurchase your securities immediately after the original issue date, the price you receive may be higher than the estimated initial value of the securities.** Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the original
issue date, the price at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, and
the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed
the estimated initial value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 1 month after the original issue date.
This temporary price difference may exist because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of
the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities that we will no longer
expect to incur over the term of the securities. We will make such discretionary election and determine this temporary reimbursement period
on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the
securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout
the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after
the original issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **The price of your securities in the secondary market, if any, immediately after the pricing date is expected to be less than the price to public.** The price to public takes into account certain costs. These costs include the underwriting discount, our affiliates'
projected hedging profits (which may or may not be realized) for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities
and the costs associated with structuring and hedging our obligations under the securities. These costs, except for the underwriting discount,
will be used or retained by us or one of our affiliates. If you were to sell your securities in the secondary market, if any, the price
you would receive for your securities may be less than the price you paid for them because secondary market prices will not take into
account these costs. The price of your securities in the secondary market, if any, at any time after issuance will vary based on many
factors, including the level of the underlying index and changes in market conditions, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. The securities
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and you should, therefore, be able and willing to hold the securities to maturity.
Any sale of the securities prior to maturity could result in a loss to you.

▪ **The market price of the securities will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.** Several factors will influence the market
price of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. may be willing to purchase or sell the
securities in the secondary market, including: the values, volatilities and dividend yields, as applicable, of the underlying index and
the securities comprising the underlying index, interest and yield rates, time remaining to maturity, geopolitical conditions and economic,
financial, political and regulatory or judicial events and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.
The level of the underlying index may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen.

Underlying Index" below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount if you try to sell your securities prior to maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.** The securities will not
be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities.
HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may
not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will
participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely
to depend on the price, if any, at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is willing to transact. If, at any time, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc.
were to cease making a market in the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities. Accordingly,
you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could adversely affect the value of the securities.** One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers have carried out and expect
 to continue to carry out hedging activities related to the securities (and possibly to other
 instruments linked to the underlying index or their respective component securities), including
 trading in the component securities as well as other instruments related to the underlying
 index. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the
 term of the securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic
 adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. Some of our affiliates may also
 trade the component securities and other financial instruments related to the underlying
 index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any
 of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased
 the initial index level and, as a result, the coupon barrier level, which is the level at
 or above which the underlying index must close on the relevant quarterly observation date
 in order for you to earn a contingent quarterly payment or, if the securities are not called
 at our discretion prior to maturity, the downside threshold level in order for you to avoid
 being exposed to the negative performance of the underlying index at maturity. Additionally,
 such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could adversely affect
 the level of the underlying index on the relevant quarterly observation date and, if the
 securities are not called at our discretion prior to maturity, the payout to you at maturity,
 if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **The calculation agent, which is HSBC or one of its affiliates, will make determinations with respect to the securities.** As calculation agent, HSBC or one of its affiliates has determined
 the initial index level, the coupon barrier level and the downside threshold level, and will
 determine the final index level, whether the contingent quarterly payment will be paid on
 each contingent payment date, whether a market disruption event has occurred with respect
 to the underlying index, and the payment that you will receive upon an early redemption at
 our discretion or at maturity, if any. Moreover, certain determinations made by HSBC or one
 of its affiliates in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion
 and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of
 market disruption events. These determinations, which may be subjective, may adversely affect
 the payout to you upon an early redemption at our discretion or at maturity, if any. See
 "Additional Terms of the Notes—Discontinuance or Modification of an Index"
 and "—Market Disruption Event" in the Equity Index Underlying Supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **The securities are not insured by any governmental agency of the United States or any other jurisdiction.** The securities are not deposit liabilities or other obligations of a bank and are not
 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or
 program of the United States or any other jurisdiction. An investment in the securities is
 subject to the credit risk of HSBC, and in the event that HSBC is unable to pay its obligations
 as they become due, you may not receive the full amounts due on the securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ **The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.** There is no direct legal authority as to the proper treatment of the securities for U.S.
 federal income tax purposes.

Please read the discussion under "Additional Information About the Securities – Additional Provisions – Tax considerations" in this document concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, you agree to treat a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a single financial contract that provides for a contingent quarterly payment that will be treated as ordinary income to you at the time received or accrued in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. If the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of income or loss on the securities might differ significantly from the tax treatment described herein. **Non-U.S. Holders should note that the entire amount of the contingent quarterly payments will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at**

**a 30% rate (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty), and we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.** We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described herein.

In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. While it is not clear whether the securities would be viewed as similar to the prepaid forward contracts described in the notice, it is possible that any U.S. Treasury Department regulations or other guidance issued after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. The notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for holders of the securities are the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, the issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities, you agree to treat a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a single financial contract that provides for a contingent quarterly payment that will be treated as ordinary income to you at the time received or accrued in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. Subject to the limitations described herein, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Mayer Brown LLP, it is reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that provides for a contingent quarterly payment.<br>**Due to the absence of statutory, judicial or administrative authorities that directly address the treatment of the securities or instruments that are similar to the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments of the securities) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction. Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion is based on the treatment of each security as described in the previous paragraph.**<br>We will not attempt to ascertain whether any of the entities whose stock is included in the underlying index would be treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") or United States real property holding corporation ("USRPHC"), both as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If one or more of the entities whose stock is included in the underlying index were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to a U.S. Holder in the case of a PFIC and to a Non-U.S. Holder, as defined below, in the case of a USRPHC. You should refer to information filed with the SEC and other authorities by the entities whose stock is included in the underlying index, and consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you if one or more of the entities whose stock is included in the underlying index is or becomes a PFIC or a USRPHC.<br>**Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders**<br>This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; · an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, for U.S. federal income tax purposes;<br>

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; · a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an estate or trust, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.<br>The term "U.S. Holder" also includes certain former citizens and residents of the United States.<br>***Tax Treatment of the Securities***<br> ****<br> Assuming the treatment of the securities as set forth above is respected, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result.<br>*Tax Basis*. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in the securities should equal the amount paid by the U.S. Holder to acquire the securities.<br>*Tax Treatment of Contingent Quarterly Payment*. Any contingent quarterly payment on the securities should be taxable as ordinary income to a U.S. Holder at the time received or accrued in accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.<br>*Sale, Exchange, Early Redemption or Settlement of the Securities*. Upon a sale, exchange, early redemption or settlement of the securities at maturity, a U.S. Holder should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized (other than with respect to cash attributable to the contingent quarterly payment, which should be treated as discussed above) on the sale, exchange, early redemption or settlement and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the securities sold, exchanged, redeemed or settled. Any such gain or loss recognized should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the securities for more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange, early redemption or settlement, and should be short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.<br>***Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Securities***<br> ****<br> Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper tax treatment of the securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the tax treatment described above. In particular, the IRS could seek to treat a security as a single debt instrument. If a security that has a term of one year or less were treated as a single debt instrument, the security could be treated as a single contingent short-term debt instrument, which would result in tax consequences that are different from those described above. If a security that has a term of more than one year were treated as a single debt instrument, such a debt instrument could be subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. If a security with a term of more than one year were so treated, a U.S. Holder would generally be required to accrue interest income over the term of the securities based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms and conditions similar to the securities. In addition, any gain a U.S. Holder might recognize upon the sale, exchange, early redemption or settlement of the securities would be ordinary income and any loss recognized by a U.S. Holder at such time would be ordinary loss to the extent of interest that same holder included in income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of the securities, and thereafter, would be capital loss. Because of the absence of authority regarding the appropriate tax characterization of the securities, it is also possible that the IRS could seek to characterize the securities in a manner that results in other tax consequences that are different from those described above. For example, the IRS could assert that any gain or loss that a U.S. Holder may recognize upon the sale, exchange, early redemption or maturity of the securities should be treated as ordinary gain or loss.<br>Other alternative federal income tax treatments of the securities are also possible, which if applied could also affect the timing and character of the income or loss with respect to the securities. On December 7, 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. The notice focuses on whether to require holders of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange–traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; whether these instruments are or should be subject to the "constructive ownership" regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge; and appropriate transition rules and effective dates. While it is not clear whether instruments such as the securities would be viewed as similar to the prepaid forward contracts described in the notice, any U.S. Treasury Department regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.<br>***Backup Withholding and Information Reporting***<br> ****<br> Backup withholding may apply in respect of the amounts paid to a U.S. Holder, unless such U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, or otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In addition, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the securities and the proceeds from a sale, exchange, early redemption or other disposition of the securities, unless the U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption from the information reporting rules.<br>**Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders**<br>This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a security that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a foreign corporation; or<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a foreign trust or estate.<br>The term "Non-U.S. Holder" does not include any of the following holders:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· certain former citizens or residents of the United States; or<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a holder for whom income or gain in respect of the securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.<br>Such holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities.<br>Because the U.S. federal income tax treatment (including the applicability of withholding) of contingent quarterly payments on the securities is uncertain, the entire amount of the contingent quarterly payments will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty). We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. In order to claim an exemption from or a reduction in the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the securities must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for a reduction of, or an exemption from, withholding under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of the securities, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.<br>

 <br> A "dividend equivalent" payment is treated as a dividend from sources within the United States and such payments generally would be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax if paid to a Non-U.S. Holder. Under U.S. Treasury Department regulations, payments (including deemed payments) with respect to equity-linked instruments ("ELIs") that are "specified ELIs" may be treated as dividend equivalents if such specified ELIs reference an interest in an "underlying security," which is generally any interest in an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if a payment with respect to such interest could give rise to a U.S. source dividend. However, IRS guidance provides that withholding on dividend equivalent payments will not apply to specified ELIs that are not delta-one instruments and that are issued before January 1, 2025. Based on the Issuer's determination that the securities are not "delta-one" instruments, Non-U.S. Holders should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments, if any, under the securities. However, it is possible that the securities could be treated as deemed reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting an underlying index or the securities, and following such occurrence the securities could be treated as subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments. Non-U.S. Holders that enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of an underlying index or the securities should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the dividend equivalent withholding tax in the context of the securities and their other transactions. If any payments are treated as dividend equivalents subject to withholding, we (or the applicable paying agent) would be entitled to withhold taxes without being required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.<br> ****<br> ***U.S. Federal Estate Tax***<br> ****<br> Under current law, while the matter is not entirely clear, individual Non-U.S. Holders, and entities whose property is potentially includible in those individuals' gross estates for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty benefit, the securities are likely to be treated as U.S. situs property, subject to U.S. federal estate tax. These individuals and entities should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of investing in the securities.<br>***Backup Withholding and Information Reporting***<br> ****<br> Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the securities and the proceeds from a sale, exchange, early redemption or other disposition. A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, unless such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establishes an exemption. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.<br>***Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act***<br> ****<br> The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on certain U.S. source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits, and income, and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type which can produce U.S. source interest or dividends ("Withholdable Payments"), if paid to a foreign financial institution (including amounts paid to a foreign financial institution on behalf of a holder), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and provide to the U.S. Treasury Department substantial information regarding U.S. account holders, including certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, or otherwise establishes an exemption. The legislation also generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on Withholdable Payments made to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial U.S. owners of the entity or otherwise establishes an exemption.<br>Under proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no withholding will apply on payments of gross proceeds. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on their investment in the securities.<br>
