HONG KONG, March 19 (IFR) - HSBC Holdings (Frankfurt: 923893 - news) , rated A2/A/AA–, is marketing US dollar-denominated Additional Tier 1 securities to boost its capital ratio.

Initial price thoughts on SEC (Shanghai: 603988.SS - news) -registered perpetual non-call five and non-call 10 notes are 6.375 percent area and 6.625 percent area respectively.

The subordinated securities have ratings of Baa3/BBB (Moody's/Fitch).
