RISK FACTORS
Any investment in the Bonds is subject to a number of risks. Prior to investing in the Bonds, prospective
investors should carefully consider risk factors associated with any investment in the Bonds, the business
of the Issuer and the industry in which it operates together with the Annual Report and Accounts of the
Issuer and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2017 and all other information
contained in these Listing Particulars, including, in particular, the risk factors described below and the
risk factors set out in the registration document, incorporated by reference (the "Registration Document").
The Issuer considers such risk factors to be the principal risk factors that may affect the Issuer's ability to
fulfil its obligations under the Bonds and/or risk factors that are material for the purposes of assessing the
market risk associated with the Bonds. Words and expressions defined in the Conditions or elsewhere in
these Listing Particulars have the same meanings in this section.
The following is not an exhaustive list or explanation of all risks which investors may face when making an
investment in the Bonds and should be used as guidance only. Additional risks and uncertainties relating
to the Issuer or the Bonds that are not currently known to the Issuer, or that the Issuer currently deems
immaterial, may individually or cumulatively also have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects,
results of operations and/or financial position of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, the value of the Bonds and,
if any such risk should occur, the price of the Bonds may decline and investors could lose all or part of
their investment. Investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Bonds is suitable for
them in light of the information in these Listing Particulars and their personal circumstances.
Terms and expressions in these risk factors shall, unless otherwise defined or unless the context otherwise
requires, have the same meaning and be construed in accordance with Conditions of the Bonds.
Risks relating to the Issuer
The section entitled "Risk Factors" on pages 98 to 106 of the Annual Report of the Issuer for the year ended
31 December 2017 on Form 20-F dated 20 February 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") (as set out at: http://www.hsbc.com/-/media/hsbc-com/investorrelationsassets/hsbc-
results/2017/annual-results/hsbc-usa-inc/180220-form-20-f.pdf) (the "Form 20-F"), as incorporated by
reference herein, sets out a description of the risk factors that may affect the ability of the Issuer to fulfil its
obligations to investors in relation to the Bonds.
Risks relating to the Bonds
The Bonds are the subject of the UK Bail-in Power, which may result in the Bonds being written down
to zero or converted into other securities, including unlisted equity securities.
On 1 January 2015, the UK Banking Act 2009, as amended (the "Banking Act"), and other primary and
secondary legislative instruments were amended to give effect to the BRRD in the UK. The stated aim of
the BRRD is to provide supervisory authorities, including the Relevant UK Resolution Authority, with
common tools and powers to address banking crises pre-emptively in order to safeguard financial stability
and minimize taxpayers' contributions to bank bail-outs and/or exposure to losses.
As the parent company of a UK bank, the Issuer is subject to the Banking Act, which gives wide powers in
respect of UK banks and their parent and other group companies to Her Majesty's Treasury ("HM
Treasury"), the Bank of England (the "BoE"), the PRA and the Financial Conduct Authority in
circumstances where a UK bank has encountered or is likely to encounter financial difficulties.
As a result, the Bonds are subject to existing UK Bail-in Power under the Banking Act and may be subject
to future UK Bail-in Power under existing or future legislative and regulatory proposals, including measures
implementing the BRRD. In particular, the Banking Act was amended to implement a "bail-in" tool, which
may be exercised by the BoE (as a Relevant UK Resolution Authority) and forms part of the UK Bail-in
Power.
Where the conditions for resolution exist, the BoE may use the bail-in tool (individually or in combination
with other resolution tools) to cancel all or a portion of the principal amount of, or interest on, certain
unsecured liabilities of a failing financial institution and/or convert certain debt claims into another security,
including ordinary shares of the surviving entity. In addition, the BoE may use the bail-in tool to, among
other things, replace or substitute the issuer as obligor in respect of debt instruments, modify the terms of
debt instruments (including altering the maturity (if any) and/or the amount of interest payable and/or
79801-5-14178-v5.0
- 6 -
70-40627058

imposing a temporary suspension on payments) and discontinue the listing and admission to trading of
financial instruments. The BoE must apply the bail-in tool in accordance with a specified preference order.
In particular, the Banking Act requires resolution authorities to write-down or convert debts in the following
order: (i) additional Tier 1 instruments, (ii) Tier 2 instruments, (iii) other subordinated claims that do not
qualify as additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 instruments and (iv) eligible senior claims. Although the bail-in tool
has a safeguard designed to leave no creditor worse off than in the case of insolvency, due to the discretion
afforded to the BoE, the claims of some creditors whose claims would rank equally with the Bondholders'
may be excluded from being subject to the bail-in tool. The greater number of such excluded creditors
there are, the greater the potential impact of the bail-in tool on other creditors who have not been excluded
(which may include the Bondholders).
As a result, the Bonds, which are subject to the bail-in tool, will be written down or converted to common
equity if the reduction of additional Tier 1 instruments, Tier 2 instruments and subordinated claims that do
not qualify as an additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 instrument, does not sufficiently reduce the aggregate amount
of liabilities that must be written down or converted to prevent the HSBC Group's failure.
Moreover, to the extent the UK Bail-in Power is exercised pursuant to the Banking Act or otherwise, any
securities issued upon conversion of the Bonds may not meet the listing requirements of any securities
exchange, and the Issuer's outstanding listed securities may be delisted from the securities exchanges on
which they are listed. Any securities the Bondholders receive upon conversion of their Bonds (whether
debt or equity) may not be listed for at least an extended period of time, if at all, or may be on the verge of
being delisted by the relevant exchange, including, for example, the Issuer's American depositary receipts
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the Issuer's ordinary shares listed on the London Stock Exchange
or otherwise. Additionally, there may be limited, if any, disclosure with respect to the business, operations
or financial statements of the issuer of any securities issued upon conversion of the Bonds, or the disclosure
with respect to any existing issuer may not be current to reflect changes in the business, operations or
financial statements as a result of the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power.
Moreover, the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power and/or other actions implementing the UK Bail-in Power
may require interests in the Bonds to be held or taken, as the case may be, through clearing systems,
intermediaries or persons other than the Book-Entry Transfer Institution. As a result, there may not be an
active market for any securities the Bondholders may hold after the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power.
The Bondholders should consider the risk that they may lose all of the investment, including the principal
amount plus any accrued interest, if the UK Bail-in Power is acted upon or that any remaining outstanding
Bonds or securities into which the Bonds are converted, including the Issuer's ordinary shares, may be of
little value at the time of threat of bail-in and, as a result, the Bonds are not necessarily expected to follow
the trading behaviour associated with other types of securities.
Specifically, by its acquisition of the Bonds, each Bondholder (which, for these purposes, includes each
beneficial owner of the Bonds) will acknowledge, accept, consent and agree, notwithstanding any other
term of the Bonds or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Issuer and any
Bondholder, to be bound by (a) the effect of the exercise of any UK Bail-in Power by the Relevant UK
Resolution Authority; and (b) the variation of the Conditions of Bonds, if necessary, to give effect to the
exercise of any UK Bail-in Power by the Relevant UK Resolution Authority. No repayment or payment of
Amounts Due will become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of any UK Bail-in Power by the
Relevant UK Resolution Authority if and to the extent such amounts have been reduced, converted,
cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise. Moreover, each Bondholder (which, for these
purposes, includes each beneficial owner of the Bonds) will consent to the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power
as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant UK Resolution Authority of its decision to
exercise such power with respect to the Bonds.
Bondholders' rights may be limited in respect of the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power by the Relevant
UK Resolution Authority.
There may be limited protections, if any, that will be available to the Bondholders subject to the UK Bail-
in Power and to the broader resolution powers of the Relevant UK Resolution Authority. For example,
although under the Banking Act the BoE's resolution instrument with respect to the exercise of the bail-
