New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $332,000 contingent income autocallables linked to indexes

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Dec. 12 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $332,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due June 1, 2021 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index, the Nasdaq-100 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon threshold level, 70% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning May 26, 2020, the notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly redemption determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any index closes below its downside threshold level, 70% of its initial level, on any day during the life of the notes, in which case investors will be exposed to the performance of the least performing index, subject to a maximum payout of par.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
