New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3 million jump autocalls on West Texas, Brent crude oil

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 12 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3 million of 0% jump securities with autocallable feature due Sept. 10, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the West Texas Intermediate Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contracts and Brent Crude Oil Futures Contracts, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus 13% per year if each asset closes at or above its initial level on any monthly determination date after three months.

If the final level of each asset is greater than or equal to its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 6.5%.

If the final level of either asset is less than its call threshold level but the final level of each asset is greater than or equal to its downside threshold, 75% of its initial level, the payout will be par.

If the final level of either asset is less than its downside threshold, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing asset declines from its initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
