**GENERAL**

This document relates to an offering of Notes linked to the Reference Asset. The purchaser of a Note will acquire a senior unsecured debt security of HSBC USA Inc. Although the offering of Notes relates to the Reference Asset, you should not construe that fact as a recommendation as to the merits of acquiring an investment linked to the Reference Asset or any security included in any Underlying or as to the suitability of an investment in the Notes.

You should read this document together with the prospectus dated February 23, 2021, the prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2021 and the Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement dated February 23, 2021. If the terms of the Notes offered hereby are inconsistent with those described in the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement or Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement, the terms described in this document shall control. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-6 of this document, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement and page S-1 of the Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Notes. As used herein, references to the "Issuer", "HSBC", "we", "us" and "our" are to HSBC USA Inc.

**PAYMENT ON THE NOTES**

On the Maturity Date, for each Note you hold, we will pay you your Principal Amount plus the final Coupon due on the Maturity Date.

**Coupons**

On each annual Coupon Payment Date, for each $1,000 Principal Amount, we will pay you the relevant Coupon relating to the Notes. The Coupon will vary, will be calculated on the relevant Coupon Valuation Date and will be equal to the Minimum Coupon Rate or, if applicable, the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate. If, on a Coupon Valuation Date, the Component Reference Return for <u>every</u> Reference Asset Component is equal to or greater than zero, the Coupon will be the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate. If, on a Coupon Valuation Date, the Component Reference Return for <u>any</u> Reference Asset Component is less than zero, the Coupon will be the Minimum Coupon Rate. The Coupon Payment Dates and the Maturity Date are subject to adjustment, as described under "Additional Terms of the Notes — Coupon Payment Dates, Call Payment Dates and Maturity Date" in the accompanying Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement. For information regarding the record dates applicable to the Notes, please see the section entitled "Description of Notes — Interest and Principal Payments — Recipients of Interest Payments" on page S-17 in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

**Calculation Agent**

We or one of our affiliates will act as calculation agent with respect to the Notes.

**INVESTOR SUITABILITY**

**The Notes may be suitable for you if:**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 🞂 | You seek an investment that provides a full repayment of principal, subject to the credit risk of HSBC, if held to maturity, and an annual Coupon at a rate, based on the performance of each Reference Asset Component, that will be equal to the Minimum Coupon Rate or, if applicable, the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate. |

---

🞂 You believe the value of all of the Reference Asset Components will not decline from their respective Initial Component Values over the term of the Notes. <br>

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 🞂 | You are comfortable receiving only the Principal Amount of your Notes at maturity plus the Coupon that will not be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate or greater than the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate, which will limit your Coupon on any Coupon Payment Date. |

---

🞂 You are willing to forgo dividends or other distributions paid on the Reference Asset Components. <br>

🞂 You are willing to accept the risk and return profile of the Notes versus a conventional debt security with a comparable maturity issued by HSBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating. <br>

🞂 You do not seek an investment for which there is an active secondary market. <br>

🞂 You are willing to hold the Notes to maturity. <br>

🞂 You are comfortable with the creditworthiness of HSBC, as Issuer of the Notes.

**The Notes may not be suitable for you if:**

🞂 You believe the Reference Return will be negative or that the Reference Return will not be sufficiently positive to provide you with your desired return. <br>

🞂 You believe the value of one or more of the Reference Asset Components will decline from their respective Initial Component Values over the term of the Notes. <br>

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 🞂 | You are unwilling to receive only the Principal Amount of your Notes at maturity plus the Coupon that will not be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate or greater than the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate. |

---

🞂 You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of conventional debt securities with comparable maturities issued by HSBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating. <br>

🞂 You prefer to receive the dividends or other distributions paid on the Reference Asset Components. <br>

🞂 You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market. <br>

🞂 You are unable or unwilling to hold the Notes to maturity. <br>

🞂 You are not willing or are unable to assume the credit risk associated with HSBC, as Issuer of the Notes.

**RISK FACTORS**

We urge you to read the section "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-1 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and page S-1 of the accompanying Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement, as applicable. You should understand the risks of investing in the Notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with your advisors, of the suitability of the Notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this document and the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement.

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

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

🞂 "—General Risks Related to Reference Stocks" in the Stock-Linked 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 Notes***

**The rate for the annual Coupon is uncertain and may be as low as the Minimum Coupon Rate.**

The rate for of the annual Coupon that you will receive is not fixed and will depend on the performance of each Reference Asset Component on the respective Coupon Valuation Dates. If the Component Reference Return of <u>any</u> Reference Asset Component is less than zero on a Coupon Valuation Date, you will receive a Coupon at a rate equal to the Minimum Coupon Rate on the Coupon Payment Date. The Minimum Coupon Rate is specified on page PS-2.

**You will not directly participate in any appreciation in the value of Reference Asset Components and your Coupon is limited to the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate.**

You will not directly participate in any appreciation in the value of the Reference Asset Components. Instead, you will receive annual Coupons based upon the formula described under the captions "Coupon," "Minimum Coupon Rate" and "Performance-Based Coupon Rate" on page PS-2. The Coupons payable to you will be based upon whether the Reference Asset Components appreciate or depreciate. Regardless of the extent to which the prices of the Reference Asset Components appreciate, the Coupon will not exceed the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate. Therefore, you may earn significantly less by investing in the Notes than you would have earned by investing directly in the Reference Asset Components relevant to your Notes.

**The amount payable on the Notes is not linked to the price of the Reference Asset Components at any time other than on the Coupon Valuation Dates.**

The return on the Notes will be based on the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset Components on the applicable Coupon Valuation Dates, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events. Even if the price of the Reference Asset Components appreciates prior to the applicable Coupon Valuation Date but then at least one Reference Asset Component decreases on that day to a price that is at or below its Initial Component Value , the Coupon payable will be limited to the Minimum Coupon Rate, and will be less than it would have been had the Notes been linked to the price of the Reference Asset Components prior to that decrease. Although the actual price of the Reference Asset Components on the Maturity Date or at other times during the term of the Notes may be higher than the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset Components on any Coupon Valuation Date, the return on the Notes will be based solely on the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset Components on the applicable Coupon Valuation Dates.

**You will not have any ownership interest in any Reference Asset Component.**

As a holder of the Notes, you will not have any ownership interest in any of the Reference Asset Components, such as rights to vote, dividend payments or other distributions. Because the return on the Notes will not reflect any dividends on any the Reference Asset Components, the Notes may underperform a direct investment in the Reference Asset Components.

***General Risk Factors***

**Credit risk of HSBC USA Inc.**

The Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes, including any return of principal at maturity, 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 Notes and, in the event HSBC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

**The Notes are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency of the United States or any other jurisdiction.**

The Notes are not deposit liabilities or other obligations of a bank and are not insured or guaranteed 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 Notes 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 Payment at Maturity of the Notes.

**The Estimated Initial Value of the Notes, which was determined by us on the Trade Date, is less than the price to public and may differ from the market value of the Notes in the secondary market, if any.**

The Estimated Initial Value of the Notes was calculated by us on the Trade 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 Notes. This internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would use 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 Notes 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 Notes to be more favorable to you. We determined the value of the embedded derivatives in the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time.

**The price of your Notes in the secondary market, if any, immediately after the Trade Date is expected to be less than the price to public.**

The price to public takes into account certain costs. These costs, which will be used or retained by us or one of our affiliates, 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 Notes and the costs associated with structuring and hedging our obligations under the Notes. If you were to sell your Notes in the secondary market, if any, the price you would receive for your Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market, if any, at any time after issuance will vary based on many factors, including the value of the Reference Asset and changes in market conditions, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and you should, therefore, be able and willing to hold the Notes to maturity. Any sale of the Notes prior to maturity could result in a loss to you.

**If we were to repurchase your Notes immediately after the Original Issue Date, the price you receive may be higher than the Estimated Initial Value of the Notes.**

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 Notes in the secondary market, if any, and the value that may initially be used for customer account statements, if any, may exceed the Estimated Initial Value on the Trade Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 6 months 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 Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. 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 Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. 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 Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

**The Notes lack liquidity.**

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is not required to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market, if any exists. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is willing to buy the Notes.

**Potential conflicts of interest may exist.**

An affiliate of HSBC has a minority equity interest in the owner of an electronic platform, through which we may make available certain structured investments offering materials. HSBC and its affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes,

including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any action that might affect the value of your Notes.

**Uncertain tax treatment.**

For a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in a Note, please see the discussion under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" herein and the discussion under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

**ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES**

**The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical. These examples are representative of only a few possible scenarios concerning increases or decreases in the prices of the Reference Asset Components relative to their Initial Prices and how those increases and decreases affect the Coupons payable on the Notes.** We cannot predict the Official Closing Price any Reference Asset Component on the Coupon Valuation Dates. The assumptions we have made in connection with the illustrations set forth below may not reflect actual events, and you should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Reference Asset Components or the return on the Notes. The total payment you receive over the term of the Notes may be less than the amount that you would have received from a conventional debt security with the same stated maturity, including those issued by HSBC.

The examples below illustrate the Coupon Payments on a $1,000 investment in the Notes for a hypothetical range of performance for the Reference Asset Components. The following results are based solely on the assumptions outlined below. The potential returns described here show potential valuations for different Coupon Valuation Dates during the term of the Notes. You should consider carefully whether the Notes are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

| Principal Amount: | $1000 |
| Minimum Coupon Rate: | 3.00% |

The actual Initial Component Value for each Reference Asset Component is set forth on page PS-3 of this document.

**Example 1: The Component Reference Return for each Reference Asset Component is greater than or equal to zero on the applicable Coupon Valuation Date.**

| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Coupon =** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Coupon =** | **$60.00** |

---

**Explanation for Example 1**

As illustrated above, the hypothetical Component Reference Return for each of the five Reference Asset Components is greater than or equal to zero. Therefore, even though the hypothetical Component Reference Return for one of the Reference Asset Components is greater than the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate, the payment will be limited to the Performance-Based Coupon Rate of 3.00% plus the Minimum Coupon Rate of 3.00%. Therefore, you receive a Coupon of $60.00 on the applicable Coupon Payment Date.

**Example 2: The Component Reference Return for one of the five Reference Asset Components is less than zero on the Coupon Valuation Date.**

**Explanation for Example 2**

As illustrated above, the hypothetical Component Reference Return of four of the five of the Reference Asset Components is greater than or equal to zero. However, the Component Reference Return of 1 of the 5 Reference Asset Components (PFE) is less than zero. Because the Component Reference Return is less than zero for one of the Reference Asset Components, the Coupon will equal the Minimum Coupon Rate. Therefore, you receive a Coupon of $30.00 on the applicable Coupon Payment Date per Principal Amount of your notes.

**EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION**

If the Notes have become immediately due and payable following an Event of Default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to the Notes, the calculation agent will determine the accelerated payment due and payable at maturity in the same general manner as described in "Payment at Maturity" in this document. In that case, the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the date of acceleration will be used as the Final Valuation Date for purposes of determining the Reference Return, and the accelerated maturity date will be three business days after the accelerated Final Valuation Date. If a Market Disruption Event exists with respect to a Reference Asset Component on that scheduled trading day, then the accelerated Final Valuation Date for that Reference Asset Component will be postponed for up to five scheduled trading days (in the same manner used for postponing the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date). The accelerated maturity date will also be postponed by an equal number of business days. For the avoidance of doubt, if no Market Disruption Event exists with respect to a Reference Asset Component on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the date of acceleration, the determination of such Reference Asset Component's Final Component Level will be made on such date, irrespective of the existence of a Market Disruption Event with respect to any other Reference Asset Component occurring on such date.

If the Notes have become immediately due and payable following an Event of Default, you will not be entitled to any additional payments with respect to the Notes. For more information, see "Description of Debt Notes — Senior Debt — Events of Default" in the accompanying prospectus.

**SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)**

We have appointed HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., an affiliate of HSBC, as the agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. will purchase the Notes from HSBC at the price to public less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, for distribution to other registered broker-dealers or will offer the Notes directly to investors. HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. has offered the Notes at the price to public set forth on the cover page of this document. HSBC USA Inc. or one of our affiliates may pay varying underwriting discounts of up to 1.525% per $1,000 Principal Amount in connection with the distribution of the Notes to other registered broker-dealers.

An affiliate of HSBC has paid or may pay in the future an amount to broker-dealers in connection with the costs of the continuing implementation of systems to support the Notes.

In addition, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. or another of its affiliates or agents may use this pricing supplement in market-making transactions after the initial sale of the Notes, but is under no obligation to make a market in the Notes and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice.

See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" on page S-83 in the prospectus supplement.

Delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on the Original Issue Date set forth on the inside cover of this document, which is more than two business days following the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes more than two business days prior to the Original Issue Date will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement, and should consult their own advisors.

**U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

You should carefully consider the matters set forth in "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The following discussion summarizes the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of the Notes. This summary supplements the section "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and supersedes it to the extent inconsistent therewith.

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes. We intend to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments for all U.S. federal income tax purposes and, based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, our special U.S. tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments. Assuming the Notes are treated as variable rate debt instruments, Coupons paid on the Notes generally should be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time they accrue or are received in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should review the discussion set forth in "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes — Notes that are

VRDIs" in the accompanying prospectus supplement. In general, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Notes will be capital gain or loss.

Because there are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes, other characterizations and treatments are possible. As a result, the timing and character of income in respect of the Notes might differ from the treatment described above. For example, the Notes may be treated as "contingent payment debt instruments" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to taxation under the "noncontingent bond method," as described in the discussion under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders — U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes — Contingent Notes" in the accompanying prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider the discussion of all potential tax consequences as set forth in "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

We will not attempt to ascertain whether any Reference Asset Component would be treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") or a United States real property holding corporation ("USRPHC"), both as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If any Reference Asset Component were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply. You should refer to information filed with the SEC and other authorities by the Reference Asset Components and consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you if any Reference Asset Component is or becomes a PFIC or a USRPHC.

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, Internal Revenue Service 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 Notes are not "delta-one" instruments, non-U.S. holders should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments, if any, under the Notes. However, it is possible that the Notes could be treated as deemed reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting any Reference Asset Component or the Notes, and following such occurrence the Notes 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 any Reference Asset Component or the Notes should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the dividend equivalent withholding tax in the context of the Notes 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.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES.

**VALIDITY OF THE NOTES**

In the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, as counsel to the Issuer, when this pricing supplement has been attached to, and duly notated on, the master note that represents the Notes pursuant to the Senior Indenture referred to in the prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2021, and issued and paid for as contemplated herein, the Notes offered by this pricing supplement will be valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Issuer, entitled to the benefits of the Senior Indenture, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith). This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the Maryland General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Maryland Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing) and the federal laws of the United States of America. This opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the Senior Indenture and the genuineness of signatures and to such counsel's reliance on the Issuer and other sources as to certain factual matters, all as stated in the legal opinion dated February 23, 201, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-3 dated February 23, 2021.

Although the offering of Notes relates to the Reference Asset, you should not construe that fact as a recommendation as to the merits of acquiring an investment linked to the Reference Asset or any security included in any Underlying or as to the suitability of an investment in the Notes.

You should read this document together with the prospectus dated February 23, 2021, the prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2021 and the Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement dated February 23, 2021. If the terms of the Notes offered hereby are inconsistent with those described in the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement or Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement, the terms described in this document shall control. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-6 of this document, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement and page S-1 of the Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Notes.

# INVESTOR SUITABILITY

The Notes may be suitable for you if:

- You seek an investment that provides a full repayment of principal, subject to the credit risk of HSBC, if held to maturity, and an annual Coupon at a rate, based on the performance of each Reference Asset Component, that will be equal to the Minimum Coupon Rate or, if applicable, the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate.
- You believe the value of all of the Reference Asset Components will not decline from their respective Initial Component Values over the term of the Notes.
- You are comfortable receiving only the Principal Amount of your Notes at maturity plus the Coupon that will not be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate or greater than the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate, which will limit your Coupon on any Coupon Payment Date.
- You are willing to forgo dividends or other distributions paid on the Reference Asset Components.
- You are willing to accept the risk and return profile of the Notes versus a conventional debt security with a comparable maturity issued by HSBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating.
- You do not seek an investment for which there is an active secondary market.
- You are willing to hold the Notes to maturity.
- You are comfortable with the creditworthiness of HSBC, as Issuer of the Notes.

The Notes may not be suitable for you if:

- You believe the Reference Return will be negative or that the Reference Return will not be sufficiently positive to provide you with your desired return.
- You believe the value of one or more of the Reference Asset Components will decline from their respective Initial Component Values over the term of the Notes.
- You are unwilling to receive only the Principal Amount of your Notes at maturity plus the Coupon that will not be less than the Minimum Coupon Rate or greater than the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate.
- You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of conventional debt securities with comparable maturities issued by HSBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating.
- You prefer to receive the dividends or other distributions paid on the Reference Asset Components.
- You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.
- You are unable or unwilling to hold the Notes to maturity.
- You are not willing or are unable to assume the credit risk associated with HSBC, as Issuer of the Notes.

# RISK FACTORS

We urge you to read the section 'Risk Factors' beginning on page S-1 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and page S-1 of the accompanying Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement, as applicable. You should understand the risks of investing in the Notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with your advisors, of the suitability of the Notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this document and the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement.

In addition to the risks discussed below, you should review 'Risk Factors' in the accompanying prospectus supplement and Stock-Linked Underlying Supplement including the explanation of risks relating to the Notes described in the following sections:

- '-General Risks Related to Reference Stocks' in the Stock-Linked 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 Notes

#### **The rate for the annual Coupon is uncertain and may be as low as the Minimum Coupon Rate.**

The rate for of the annual Coupon that you will receive is not fixed and will depend on the performance of each Reference Asset Component on the respective Coupon Valuation Dates. If the Component Reference Return of any Reference Asset Component is less than zero on a Coupon Valuation Date, you will receive a Coupon at a rate equal to the Minimum Coupon Rate on the Coupon Payment Date. The Minimum Coupon Rate is specified on page PS-2.

#### **You will not directly participate in any appreciation in the value of Reference Asset Components and your Coupon is limited to the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate.**

You will not directly participate in any appreciation in the value of the Reference Asset Components. Instead, you will receive annual Coupons based upon the formula described under the captions 'Coupon,' 'Minimum Coupon Rate' and 'Performance-Based Coupon Rate' on page PS-2. The Coupons payable to you will be based upon whether the Reference Asset Components appreciate or depreciate. Regardless of the extent to which the prices of the Reference Asset Components appreciate, the Coupon will not exceed the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate. Therefore, you may earn significantly less by investing in the Notes than you would have earned by investing directly in the Reference Asset Components relevant to your Notes.

#### **The amount payable on the Notes is not linked to the price of the Reference Asset Components at any time other than on the Coupon Valuation Dates.**

The return on the Notes will be based on the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset Components on the applicable Coupon Valuation Dates, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events. Even if the price of the Reference Asset Components appreciates prior to the applicable Coupon Valuation Date but then at least one Reference Asset Component decreases on that day to a price that is at or below its Initial Component Value, the Coupon payable will be limited to the Minimum Coupon Rate, and will be less than it would have been had the Notes been linked to the price of the Reference Asset Components prior to that decrease. Although the actual price of the Reference Asset Components on the Maturity Date or at other times during the term of the Notes may be higher than the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset Components on any Coupon Valuation Date, the return on the Notes will be based solely on the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset Components on the applicable Coupon Valuation Dates.

#### **You will not have any ownership interest in any Reference Asset Component.**

As a holder of the Notes, you will not have any ownership interest in any of the Reference Asset Components, such as rights to vote, dividend payments or other distributions. Because the return on the Notes will not reflect any dividends on any the Reference Asset Components, the Notes may underperform a direct investment in the Reference Asset Components.

## General Risk Factors

#### **Credit risk of HSBC USA Inc.**

The Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes, including any return of principal at maturity, 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 Notes and, in the event HSBC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

PS-6

# **The Notes are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency of the United States or any other jurisdiction.**

The Notes are not deposit liabilities or other obligations of a bank and are not insured or guaranteed 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 Notes 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 Payment at Maturity of the Notes.

# **The Estimated Initial Value of the Notes, which was determined by us on the Trade Date, is less than the price to public and may differ from the market value of the Notes in the secondary market, if any.**

The Estimated Initial Value of the Notes was calculated by us on the Trade 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 Notes. This internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would use 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 Notes 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 Notes to be more favorable to you. We determined the value of the embedded derivatives in the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time.

# **The price of your Notes in the secondary market, if any, immediately after the Trade Date is expected to be less than the price to public.**

The price to public takes into account certain costs. These costs, which will be used or retained by us or one of our affiliates, 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 Notes and the costs associated with structuring and hedging our obligations under the Notes. If you were to sell your Notes in the secondary market, if any, the price you would receive for your Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market, if any, at any time after issuance will vary based on many factors, including the value of the Reference Asset and changes in market conditions, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and you should, therefore, be able and willing to hold the Notes to maturity. Any sale of the Notes prior to maturity could result in a loss to you.

# **If we were to repurchase your Notes immediately after the Original Issue Date, the price you receive may be higher than the Estimated Initial Value of the Notes.**

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 Notes in the secondary market, if any, and the value that may initially be used for customer account statements, if any, may exceed the Estimated Initial Value on the Trade Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 6 months 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 Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. 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 Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. 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 Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

# **The Notes lack liquidity.**

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is not required to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market, if any exists. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is willing to buy the Notes.

# **Potential conflicts of interest may exist.**

An affiliate of HSBC has a minority equity interest in the owner of an electronic platform, through which we may make available certain structured investments offering materials. HSBC and its affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes,

PS-7

including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any action that might affect the value of your Notes.

# **Uncertain tax treatment.**

For a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in a Note, please see the discussion under 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations' herein and the discussion under 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations' in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

PS-8

## ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical. These examples are representative of only a few possible scenarios concerning increases or decreases in the prices of the Reference Asset Components relative to their Initial Prices and how those increases and decreases affect the Coupons payable on the Notes. We cannot predict the Official Closing Price any Reference Asset Component on the Coupon Valuation Dates. The assumptions we have made in connection with the illustrations set forth below may not reflect actual events, and you should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Reference Asset Components or the return on the Notes. The total payment you receive over the term of the Notes may be less than the amount that you would have received from a conventional debt security with the same stated maturity, including those issued by HSBC.

The examples below illustrate the Coupon Payments on a $1,000 investment in the Notes for a hypothetical range of performance for the Reference Asset Components. The following results are based solely on the assumptions outlined below. The potential returns described here show potential valuations for different Coupon Valuation Dates during the term of the Notes. You should consider carefully whether the Notes are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

| Principal Amount: | $1,000 |
| --- | --- |
| Minimum Coupon Rate: | 3.00% |
| Performance-Based Coupon Rate: | 3.00% |

The actual Initial Component Value for each Reference Asset Component is set forth on page PS-3 of this document.

### Example 1: The Component Reference Return for each Reference Asset Component is greater than or equal to zero on the applicable Coupon Valuation Date.

| Reference Asset Component | Hypothetical Component Reference Return |
| --- | --- |
| F | 2.50% |
| MCD | 4.00% |
| CVX | 1.00% |
| PFE | 2.00% |
| HD | 12.00% |
| Minimum Coupon Rate = 3.00% |  |
| Performance-Based Coupon Rate = 3.00% |  |
| Coupon = $60.00 |  |

### Explanation for Example 1

As illustrated above, the hypothetical Component Reference Return for each of the five Reference Asset Components is greater than or equal to zero. Therefore, even though the hypothetical Component Reference Return for one of the Reference Asset Components is greater than the Performance-Based Coupon Rate plus the Minimum Coupon Rate, the payment will be limited to the Performance-Based Coupon Rate of 3.00% plus the Minimum Coupon Rate of 3.00%. Therefore, you receive a Coupon of $60.00 on the applicable Coupon Payment Date.

PS-9

Example 2: The Component Reference Return for one of the five Reference Asset Components is less than zero on the Coupon Valuation Date.

| Reference Asset Component | Hypothetical Component Reference Return |
| --- | --- |
| F | 5.00% |
| MCD | 5.00% |
| CVX | 0.00% |
| PFE | -4.25% |
| HD | 12.00% |
| Minimum Coupon Rate = | 3.00% |
| Coupon = | $30.00 |

### Explanation for Example 2

As illustrated above, the hypothetical Component Reference Return of four of the five of the Reference Asset Components is greater than or equal to zero. However, the Component Reference Return of 1 of the 5 Reference Asset Components (PFE) is less than zero. Because the Component Reference Return is less than zero for one of the Reference Asset Components, the Coupon will equal the Minimum Coupon Rate. Therefore, you receive a Coupon of $30.00 on the applicable Coupon Payment Date per Principal Amount of your notes.

# EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

If the Notes have become immediately due and payable following an Event of Default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to the Notes, the calculation agent will determine the accelerated payment due and payable at maturity in the same general manner as described in 'Payment at Maturity' in this document. In that case, the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the date of acceleration will be used as the Final Valuation Date for purposes of determining the Reference Return, and the accelerated maturity date will be three business days after the accelerated Final Valuation Date. If a Market Disruption Event exists with respect to a Reference Asset Component on that scheduled trading day, then the accelerated Final Valuation Date for that Reference Asset Component will be postponed for up to five scheduled trading days (in the same manner used for postponing the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date). The accelerated maturity date will also be postponed by an equal number of business days. For the avoidance of doubt, if no Market Disruption Event exists with respect to a Reference Asset Component on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the date of acceleration, the determination of such Reference Asset Component's Final Component Level will be made on such date, irrespective of the existence of a Market Disruption Event with respect to any other Reference Asset Component occurring on such date.

If the Notes have become immediately due and payable following an Event of Default, you will not be entitled to any additional payments with respect to the Notes. For more information, see 'Description of Debt Notes - Senior Debt - Events of Default' in the accompanying prospectus.

# SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

We have appointed HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., an affiliate of HSBC, as the agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. will purchase the Notes from HSBC at the price to public less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, for distribution to other registered broker-dealers or will offer the Notes directly to investors. HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. has offered the Notes at the price to public set forth on the cover page of this document. HSBC USA Inc. or one of our affiliates may pay varying underwriting discounts of up to 1.525% per $1,000 Principal Amount in connection with the distribution of the Notes to other registered broker-dealers.

An affiliate of HSBC has paid or may pay in the future an amount to broker-dealers in connection with the costs of the continuing implementation of systems to support the Notes.

In addition, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. or another of its affiliates or agents may use this pricing supplement in market-making transactions after the initial sale of the Notes, but is under no obligation to make a market in the Notes and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice.

See 'Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)' on page S-83 in the prospectus supplement.

Delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on the Original Issue Date set forth on the inside cover of this document, which is more than two business days following the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes more than two business days prior to the Original Issue Date will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement, and should consult their own advisors.

# U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

You should carefully consider the matters set forth in 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations' in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The following discussion summarizes the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of the Notes. This summary supplements the section 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations' in the accompanying prospectus supplement and supersedes it to the extent inconsistent therewith.

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes. We intend to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments for all U.S. federal income tax purposes and, based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, our special U.S. tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments. Assuming the Notes are treated as variable rate debt instruments, Coupons paid on the Notes generally should be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time they accrue or are received in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should review the discussion set forth in 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders - U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes - Notes that are

PS-14

VRDIs' in the accompanying prospectus supplement. In general, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Notes will be capital gain or loss.

Because there are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes, other characterizations and treatments are possible. As a result, the timing and character of income in respect of the Notes might differ from the treatment described above. For example, the Notes may be treated as 'contingent payment debt instruments' for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to taxation under the 'noncontingent bond method,' as described in the discussion under 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders - U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes - Contingent Notes' in the accompanying prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider the discussion of all potential tax consequences as set forth in 'U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations' in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

We will not attempt to ascertain whether any Reference Asset Component would be treated as a passive foreign investment company ('PFIC') or a United States real property holding corporation ('USRPHC'), both as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If any Reference Asset Component were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply. You should refer to information filed with the SEC and other authorities by the Reference Asset Components and consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you if any Reference Asset Component is or becomes a PFIC or a USRPHC.

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, Internal Revenue Service 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 Notes are not 'delta-one' instruments, non-U.S. holders should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments, if any, under the Notes. However, it is possible that the Notes could be treated as deemed reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting any Reference Asset Component or the Notes, and following such occurrence the Notes 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 any Reference Asset Component or the Notes should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the dividend equivalent withholding tax in the context of the Notes 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.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES.

## **VALIDITY OF THE NOTES**

In the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, as counsel to the Issuer, when this pricing supplement has been attached to, and duly notated on, the master note that represents the Notes pursuant to the Senior Indenture referred to in the prospectus supplement dated February 23, 2021, and issued and paid for as contemplated herein, the Notes offered by this pricing supplement will be valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Issuer, entitled to the benefits of the Senior Indenture, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith). This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the Maryland General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Maryland Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing) and the federal laws of the United States of America. This opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the Senior Indenture and the genuineness of signatures and to such counsel's reliance on the Issuer and other sources as to certain factual matters, all as stated in the legal opinion dated February 23, 2021, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-3 dated February 23, 2021.
