New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $2 million contingent income autocallables on Avis, Plug

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 11 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $2 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Nov. 8, 2024 linked to the shares of Avis Budget Group, Inc. and Plug Power Inc., according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 22.5% if each underlying stock closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on the corresponding observation date.

The notes will be called at par plus coupon if each stock closes at or above its call level, 80% of initial level, on any monthly review date after three months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon if each stock finishes at or above its coupon barrier. If the worst performer finishes below its coupon barrier but at or above 50% downside threshold, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing stock.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
