6 Risk Factors There are investment risks involved in buying the Notes (including the risks set out in the Risk Factors below and the risks disclosed in the relevant offering documentation of the Notes, which is available upon request). Before applying for any of the Notes, you should consider the risks involved in investing in the Notes and consider whether the Notes are suitable for you in light of your own financial circumstances and investment objectives. If you are in any doubt, you should get independent professional advice. Risk factors relating to the Notes in general The Notes are mainly for medium to long term investment, not for short term speculation. You should be prepared to invest your funds in the Notes for the full investment tenor; you could lose part or all of your investment if you choose to sell the Notes prior to maturity. The Notes are not equivalent to, nor should they be treated as a substitute for, time deposit. They are NOT protected deposits and are NOT protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong. Receipt of any interest and principal amount at maturity of the Notes is subject to the credit risk and default risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor. In case of default, the holder of the Notes may not be able to receive back the principal amount invested or any interest payable on the Notes. The holder of the Notes bears the credit risk and the default risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor and has no recourse to HSBC unless HSBC is the Issuer or the Guarantor itself. One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to an issue of the Notes, the Issuer and the Guarantor. Credit ratings may not reflect all of the risks related to the Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantor and other factors that may affect the value of the Notes. Credit ratings do not guarantee the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the Guarantor. A credit rating by the rating agency is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time. A suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time of any rating assigned to the Notes may adversely affect the market price of the Notes. The market price of the Notes may fluctuate with market changes. Factors affecting the market price of the Notes include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, and liquidity premiums. In particular, investment in the Notes is susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates which may adversely affect the value of the Notes. The price of the Notes may generally fall when the interest rates rise. The fluctuation in yield generally has a greater effect on prices of longer tenor notes. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling the Notes. The Issuer may have the right (but not the obligation) to early redeem the Notes prior to maturity date upon occurrence of certain events (please refer to the offering documentation of the Notes for details). If the Issuer exercises its right to redeem the 6

7 Notes before they mature, you may suffer a substantial loss under the Notes and you may not be able to enjoy the same rates of return when you re-invest the amount received under such early redemption in other investments with similar risk parameters. If you wish to sell the Notes, HSBC may but is not obliged to repurchase them based on the prevailing market price under normal market circumstances, but the selling price may differ from the original buying price due to changes in market conditions. There may be exchange rate risks if you choose to convert payments made on the Notes to your home currency. Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. Even if a secondary market does develop, the secondary market for the Notes may not provide significant liquidity or may trade at prices based on the prevailing market conditions and may not be in line with your expectations. Therefore, you may not be able to sell the Notes easily before maturity or at prices that will provide you with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Please refer to the offering documentation of the Notes for other risk factors relating to the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Notes. Notes subject to optional redemption upon change of control/tax reasons - The Issuer may not have enough available funds at the time of the occurrence of any Change of Control Triggering Event or tax reasons to make purchases of outstanding Notes, and the Issuer's failure to repurchase will constitute an event of default under the Notes and may constitute an event of default under other indebtedness of the Issuer. For further details, please refer to Condition 8.4 (Redemption upon Change of Control) and Terms and Conditions of the Notes Redemption and Purchase Redemption for Taxation Reasons of the offering documentation of the Notes. 7
