PS-5

Risk Factors

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 pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

In addition to the following risks, you should review “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-3 in the accompanying prospectus 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.

The Coupon Rate for Each Coupon Payment Period Is Uncertain and Could Be as Low as the 0.00%.

You will receive a quarterly Coupon on the applicable Coupon Payment Date that accrues at a rate per annum equal to 3-Month LIBOR plus the Spread, subject to the applicable Coupon Cap. 3-Month LIBOR may be influenced by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) monetary policies, fiscal policies, inflation, general economic conditions and public expectations with respect to such factors. The effect that any single factor may have on 3-Month LIBOR may be partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors that may cause 3-Month LIBOR to increase or decrease, and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time. You should consider, among other things, the overall potential annual Coupon Rate to maturity of the Notes as compared to other investment alternatives.

Your Coupon Rate Is Limited by the Coupon Cap.

The Coupon Rate will be capped at the applicable Coupon Cap listed above. As a result, you will not participate in any increase in the level of 3-Month LIBOR above the applicable Coupon Cap. YOUR COUPON RATE ON EACH COUPON PAYMENT DATE WILL NOT BE GREATER THAN THE THEN APPLICABLE COUPON CAP.

The Notes Are Not Ordinary Debt Securities and the Coupon Rate Is Not Fixed for any Coupon Payment Period and Is Variable.

The Coupon Rate is not fixed for any Coupon Payment Period, and will equal 3-Month LIBOR, subject to the Coupon Cap, which may be less than returns otherwise payable on debt securities issued by us with similar maturities. We have no control over any fluctuations in 3-Month LIBOR.

The Notes Are Subject to the 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 the return of the Principal Amount at maturity and all Coupons, 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 amounts payable on the Notes.

Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity.

The original issue price of the Notes includes the agent’s commission and the estimated cost of HSBC hedging its obligations under the Notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. will be willing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

PS-6

Variable Price Reoffering Risks.

HSBC has offered the Notes for sale at varying prices determined at the time of each sale. Accordingly, the price that you pay for the Notes may be higher than the prices paid by other investors based on the date and time you made your purchase, from whom you purchased the Notes (e.g., directly from HSBC or through a broker or dealer), any related transaction costs (e.g., any brokerage commission), whether you hold your Notes in a brokerage account, a fiduciary or fee-based account or another type of account and other factors beyond our control.

The Notes Lack Liquidity.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. 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.

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.

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.

3-Month LIBOR, and Therefore the Value of the Notes, May be Volatile and Will Be Affected by a Number of Factors.

3-Month LIBOR, and therefore the value of the Notes is subject to volatility due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to:

interest and yield rates in the market,

changes in, or perceptions, about the future level of 3-Month LIBOR,

general economic conditions,

policies of the Federal Reserve Board regarding interest rates,

supply and demand among banks in London for U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with approximately a one-month term,

sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies,

expectations regarding the level of price inflation,

sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets,

central bank policy regarding interest rates,

inflation and expectations concerning inflation,

performance of capital markets,

geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect markets generally and that may affect 3-Month LIBOR,

the time remaining to the maturity of the Notes, and

the creditworthiness of the Issuer.

The impact of any of the factors set forth above may enhance or offset some or any of the changes resulting from another factor or factors. Increases or decreases in 3-Month LIBOR could result in a reduction of the Coupon payable on the Notes.

PS-7

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

The following scenario analysis and examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical. They do not purport to be representative of every possible scenario concerning increases or decreases in 3-Month LIBOR and we cannot predict 3-Month LIBOR on any Coupon Determination Date. You should not take the scenario analysis and these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of 3-Month LIBOR. The numbers set forth in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. The following scenario analysis and examples illustrate the Coupon determination for a $1,000.00 Principal Amount of Notes, assume that there are 90 days in each quarterly period and a hypothetical Coupon Cap of 4.25% per annum and reflect the Spread of 1.50%. The actual Coupon Cap will increase throughout the term of the Notes as set forth above.

Hypothetical 3-Month LIBOR	Spread	Cap	Hypothetical Coupon Rate Per Annum	Hypothetical Coupon
10.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
9.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625

7.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
6.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
5.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
4.50%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
4.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
3.50%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
3.00%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
2.50%	1.50%	4.25%	4.25%	$10.625
2.00%	1.50%	4.25%	3.50%	$8.750
1.50%	1.50%	4.25%	3.00%	$7.500
1.00%	1.50%	4.25%	2.50%	$6.250
0.00%	1.50%	4.25%	1.50%	$3.750
-1.00%	1.50%	4.25%	0.50%	$1.250
-2.00%	1.50%	4.25%	0.00%	$0.000

Example 1: On a Coupon Determination Date, 3-Month LIBOR is equal to -2.00%. Because 3-Month LIBOR of -2.00% plus the Spread of 1.50% is less than the 0%, the Coupon Rate for such Coupon Payment Date is equal to 0% per annum and the Coupon payment on the relevant Coupon Payment Date would be $0.00 per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes.

Example 2: On a Coupon Determination Date, 3-Month LIBOR is equal to 1.00%. Because 3-Month LIBOR of 1.00% plus the Spread of 1.50% is less than the Coupon Cap, the Coupon Rate for such Coupon Payment Date is equal to 2.50% per annum and the Coupon payment on the relevant Coupon Payment Date would be $6.250 per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

	1,000 × Coupon Rate × 90/360
	= $1,000 × 2.50% × 90/360
	= $6.250

Example 3: On a Coupon Determination Date, 3-Month LIBOR is equal to 5.00%. Because 3-Month LIBOR of 5.00% plus the Spread of 1.50% is greater than the Coupon Cap, the Coupon Rate for such Coupon Payment Date is equal to 4.25% per annum and the Coupon payment on the relevant Coupon Payment Date would be $10.625 per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, calculated as follows:

	1,000 × Coupon Rate × 90/360
	= $1,000 × 4.25% × 90/360
	= $10.625

PS-8

Historical Performance of 3-Month LIBOR

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of 3-Month LIBOR based on the daily historical levels from November 8, 2008, 2008 through November 8, 2013. We obtained the rates below from the Bloomberg Professional^® Service. We have not undertaken any independent review of, or made any due diligence inquiry with respect to, the information obtained from the Bloomberg Professional^® service. The rates displayed in the graph below are for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of the calculation of the Coupon Rate on the Notes.

3-Month LIBOR, as appeared on the Bloomberg Professional^® Service on November 8, 2013 was 0.2394%. The rates reported by the Bloomberg Professional^® Service may not be indicative of 3-Month LIBOR that will be derived from the applicable Reuters page.

Historical Performance of 3-Month LIBOR

Source: Bloomberg Professional^® Service

The historical 3-Month LIBOR should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to 3-Month LIBOR relevant to any Coupon Payment Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of 3-Month LIBOR will result in Coupon payments that will provide a satisfactory return on your investment.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

HSBC has offered the Notes in one or more negotiated transactions at varying prices determined at the time of each sale.

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 par less the average 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. and these other registered broker-dealers will offer the Notes at varying prices. HSBC USA Inc. or one of our affiliates will pay varying underwriting discounts with an average of 1.00% per $1,000 in 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 do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice.

See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” on page S-49 in the prospectus supplement.

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. We and each holder of Notes (in the absence of an administrative determination, judicial ruling or other authoritative guidance to the contrary) agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indebtedness issued by us that is subject to the special U.S. Treasury Regulations applicable to variable rate debt instruments. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, and based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP, our special U.S. tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat the Notes as variable rate debt instruments. Accordingly, interest paid on the Notes generally should be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is 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 – U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes – Variable Rate Debt Instruments” 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. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Notes.

Withholding and reporting requirements under the legislation enacted on March 18, 2010 (as discussed beginning on page S-48 of the prospectus supplement) will generally apply to payments made after June 30, 2014. However, this withholding tax will not be imposed on payments pursuant to obligations outstanding on July 1, 2014. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this recently enacted legislation on their investment in the Notes.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

In the opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP, as counsel to the Issuer, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and delivered by the Issuer and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Senior Indenture referred to in the prospectus supplement dated March 22, 2012, and issued and paid for as contemplated herein, such Notes 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 July 27, 2012, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 27, 2012.
