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 90% of the principal amount. Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Step Up Payment and 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. |
