New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1 million contingent income autocalls on S&P 500 index

By Taylor Fox

New York, March 25 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1 million of contingent income autocallable securities due March 17, 2026 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Semiannually, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 9.76% if the index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 80% of its initial level, on the determination date for that period.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the index closes above its initial level on any semiannual redemption date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the index finishes below its 75% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
