New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $3.85 million contingent income autocallables on ETFs

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Nov. 18 – Morgan Stanley priced $3,847,500 of contingent income autocallable securities due Nov. 19, 2019 linked to the worst performing of the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF trust, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 7% per year if each fund closes at or above its downside threshold level, 75% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning on Nov. 19, 2015, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent coupon if each fund closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly redemption determination date

If the notes are not called and each fund finishes at or above its downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon, if any.

If the notes are not called and any fund finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing fund from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent. Distribution is through Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
