New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $500,000 contingent income autocalls on four stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Feb. 26 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $500,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due Feb. 24, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, SA, Bank of America Corp., Bank of New York Mellon Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If each stock closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 80% of its initial share price, on a monthly observation date, the notes will pay a contingent coupon that period at an annualized rate of 13.8%.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any monthly determination date after three months.

If each stock’s final share price is greater than or equal to its 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 least-performing stock declines from its initial share price.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
