New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $8 million trigger callable contingent yield notes on indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 13 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $8 million of trigger callable contingent yield notes with daily coupon observation due Oct. 11, 2023 linked to the least performing of the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Nasdaq-100 index, 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 the rate of 11% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 65% of its initial level, on every day during that quarter.

The notes will be callable at par of $10 plus any coupon on any quarterly observation date.

If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 60% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus any final coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline of the least-performing index.

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