Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 9, 2017, the office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) announced that it had terminated its residential mortgage servicing related consent order against HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (the “Bank”), a subsidiary of HSBC USA Inc. The OCC terminated the consent order having found that the Bank had satisfied all of the requirements of the OCC’s originally issued April 2011 consent order, and the February 2013 and June 2015 amendments thereto. With termination of the consent order, the business restrictions imposed by the OCC on the Bank pursuant to the June 2015 amendment to the consent order are also terminated.

The Bank will pay a $32.5 million civil money penalty to the U.S. Treasury for deficiencies in timely compliance with the consent order, including identified deficiencies on approximately 1,700 mortgage loan accounts relative to payment change notifications required under applicable bankruptcy rules. An additional charge to income in the amount of $27.5 million was taken by the Bank in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 related to this matter.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on this Form 8-K is being furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
