New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $7.43 million contingent income autocallables tied to IBM

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 5 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $7.43 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 4, 2020 linked to International Business Machines Corp. stock, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.8% if the stock closes at or above the downside threshold, 80% of the initial price, on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the stock closes at or above its call level on any of the first 11 determination dates.

The call level will be 105% of the initial price for the first four dates, stepping up to 110% for the next four dates and 115% for the final three dates.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless the stock finishes below its downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the stock.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
