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 at least 6.75% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the stated principal amount, but only if the closing level of each underlying index on every scheduled trading day during the relevant quarterly observation period is greater than or equal to 70% of its 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 period. An early redemption will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of any underlying index. If the securities have not been previously redeemed and the final index level of each underlying index is greater than or equal to 70% of its 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 of any underlying index is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the worst performing underlying index, as compared to its 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 each underlying index, a decline beyond the respective coupon barrier level and/or respective downside threshold level, as applicable, of any underlying index will result in few or no contingent quarterly payments and/or a significant loss of your investment, as applicable, even if any other underlying index has appreciated or has not declined as much. 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 any of the underlying indices. All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of HSBC.

* The pricing date, original issue date and the other dates set forth above are subject to change, and will be set forth in the pricing supplement relating to the securities.

The Contingent Income Callable Securities due January 12, 2024 Based on the Worst Performing of the Russell 2000^® Index, the S&P 500^® Index and the EURO STOXX 50^® Index, which we refer to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment at an annual rate of at least 6.75% of the stated principal amount but only if the closing level of each underlying index on every scheduled trading day during the relevant quarterly observation period is greater than or equal to 70% of its initial index level, which we refer to as the coupon barrier level. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be determined on the pricing date. 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 one or more underlying indices could remain below their respective coupon barrier levels 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 period. An early redemption will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of any underlying index. If the securities have not been previously redeemed and the final index level of each underlying index is greater than or equal to 70% of its 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 of any underlying index is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the worst performing underlying index, as compared to its 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 any of the underlying indices.

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 at least 6.75% of the stated principal amount, but only if the closing level of each underlying index on every scheduled trading day during the relevant quarterly observation period is greater than or equal to 70% of its initial index level, which we refer to as the coupon barrier level. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be determined on the pricing date. 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 period. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment at maturity will vary depending on the final index level of the worst performing underlying index, as follows:

The following diagrams illustrate the potential outcomes for the securities depending on (1) the official closing level for each underlying index on every scheduled trading day during the relevant quarterly observation period and (2) if the Issuer chooses to redeem the securities early, at our discretion on any early redemption notice date.

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

stated principal amount + contingent quarterly payment = $1,000.00 + $16.875 = $1,016.875

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.

Based on the Worst Performing of the Russell 2000^®Index, the S&P 500^® Index and the EURO STOXX 50^® Index

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

*In addition, the final contingent quarterly coupon will be payable if the official closing level on every scheduled trading day of each underlying index is at or above its coupon barrier level during the final quarterly observation period.

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

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 indices. 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 free writing prospectus 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:

“— General Risks Relating to Indices” in the Equity Index Underlying Supplement;

“— Securities prices generally are subject to political, economic, financial, and social factors that apply to the markets in which they trade and to a lesser extent, foreign markets” in the Equity Index Underlying Supplement; and

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.

Additional Provisions
Listing:	The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP:	[]
ISIN:	[]
Minimum ticketing size:	$1,000 / 1 security
Events of default and acceleration:	If the securities have become immediately due and payable following an event of default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to the securities, the calculation agent will determine the accelerated payment at maturity due and payable in the same general manner as described in “Summary Terms—Payment at maturity” in this free writing prospectus. In such a case, the third scheduled trading day for each underlying index immediately preceding the date of acceleration will be used as the final valuation date for purposes of determining the accelerated final levels, and the positive return, if any, will be calculated based on the time elapsed from the original issue date and the quarterly rate of return of at least 1.6875% (at least 6.75% per annum), to be determined on the pricing date. If a market disruption event exists on that scheduled trading day, then the accelerated final valuation date will be postponed for up to five scheduled trading days (in the same general manner used for postponing the originally scheduled valuation date). The accelerated maturity date will be the fifth business day following such accelerated postponed valuation date. For the avoidance of doubt, if no market disruption event exists with respect to an underlying index on the scheduled trading day preceding the date of acceleration, the determination of such underlying index’s index performance factor will be made on such date, irrespective of the existence of a market disruption event with respect to the other underlying indices occurring on such date. For more information, see “Description of Debt Securities — Senior Debt Securities — Events of Default” in the accompanying prospectus.
Tax considerations:	Prospective investors should note that the discussion under the section called “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement does not apply to the securities issued under this document and is superseded by the following discussion. The following summary is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities. This discussion applies only to initial investors in the securities who: • purchase the securities at their “issue price”; and • hold the securities as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

		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 any underlying index is at or above its respective 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.

		On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our redemption right when the official closing level of any underlying index is below its respective coupon barrier level and/or when the final index level of the worst performing underlying index is expected to be below its 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 securities will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Although the equity securities that comprise the SX5E are traded in euro, and your securities are denominated in U.S. dollars, the amount payable on your securities at maturity will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro. Changes in exchange rates, however, may also reflect changes in the applicable non-U.S. economies that in turn may affect the level of the SX5E, and therefore your securities. The payment at maturity will be determined solely in accordance with the procedures described in this free writing prospectus.
