New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $9.16 million contingent income autocallables on S&P GSCI Crude Oil

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Jan. 29 – Morgan Stanley priced $9.16 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Jan. 31, 2030 with five-year initial non-call period linked to the S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index – Excess Return, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will earn interest for the first year at the annualized rate of 8%, payable quarterly. After that, if the index closes at or above the coupon barrier level, 75% of the initial index level, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay the 8% coupon for that quarter.

Beginning Jan. 27, 2020, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the index closes at or above the initial index level on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date.

If the final index level is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, 50% of the initial index level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the index’s decline.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
