CAPPED NOTES WITH ABSOLUTE RETURN BUFFER

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Capped Notes with Absolute Return Buffer Linked to the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation | Capped Notes with Absolute Return Buffer Linked to the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Issuer** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HSBC USA Inc. ("HSBC") |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Principal Amount** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$10.00 per unit |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Term** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately two years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Market Measure** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation (the "Underlying Company") (Nasdaq symbol: NVDA) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Payout Profile at Maturity** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; · 1-to-1 upside exposure to increases in the Market Measure, subject to the Capped Value<br> · A positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline in the price of the Market Measure only if the Market Measure does not decline by more than 15.00% (e.g., if the negative return of the Market Measure is -5.00%, you will receive a positive return of +5.00%)<br> · 1-to-1 downside exposure to decreases in the Market Measure beyond a 15.00% decline, with up to 85.00% of your principal at risk |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Participation Rate** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;100.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Threshold Value** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;85.00% of the Starting Value. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Capped Value** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[$12.50 to $12.90] per unit, a [25.00% to 29.00%] return over the principal amount, to be determined on the pricing date. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Investment Considerations** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This investment is designed for investors who anticipate that the Market Measure will either increase moderately over the term of the notes or decrease to a price which is not below the threshold, and are willing to accept a capped return, take downside risk below a threshold and forgo interim interest payments. |

**Risk Factors** 

**Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:**

· Depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, you may lose up to 85.00% of the principal
amount.

· Any positive return on the notes is limited. The notes provide for a positive return if the price of the Market Measure increases or
does not decrease by more than 15.00%. However, any positive return on the notes based on the appreciation of the Market Measure will
be limited to the return represented by the Capped Value. In addition, the absolute value return feature applies only if the Ending Value
is less than the Starting Value but greater than or equal to the Threshold Value. Because the Threshold Value will be 85.00% of the Starting
Value, any positive return due to the depreciation of the Market Measure will be limited to 15.00%. Any decline in the Ending Value from
the Starting Value by more than 15.00% will result in a loss, rather than a positive return, on the notes.

· Your investment return may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Market Measure

· Payments on the notes, including any repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of HSBC. If HSBC becomes insolvent or is
unable to pay its obligations, you may lose your entire investment.

· The estimated initial value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price.

· If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the estimated
initial value of the notes on the pricing date.

· As a noteholder, you will have no rights of a holder of the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive any shares of the
Market Measure or dividends or other distributions by the issuer of the Market Measure.

***Final terms will be set on the pricing date within the given range for the specified Market-Linked Investment. Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for complete product disclosure, including related risks and tax disclosure.***

The graph and the table have been prepared for purposes of illustration only and do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes.***
