New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.93 million contingent income autocallables linked to Tesla

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 15 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.93 million of contingent income autocallable securities due May 18, 2017 linked to the common stock of Tesla Motors, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 11% if Tesla shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 70% of the initial share price, on the determination date for that month.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if Tesla shares close at or above the initial share price on any quarterly redemption determination date.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final share price is less than the initial share price.

Morgan Stanley& Co. LLC is the agent.
