New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.13 million airbag phoenix autocallables linked to lululemon

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., July 28 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.13 million of airbag phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Jan. 31, 2017 linked to the common stock of lululemon athletica inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 10.72% per year if lululemon shares close at or above the coupon barrier, 70% of the initial share price, on the observation date for that month.

The notes will be automatically called at par if lululemon shares close at or above the initial share price on any autocall observation date, which occur quarterly.

If the notes are not called and the final price of lululemon shares is greater than or equal to the conversion price, 85% of the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will receive a number of lululemon shares equal to $1,000 divided by the conversion price.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent. UBS Financial Services Inc. is acting as dealer.
