New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $5.12 million contingent income autocalls on Spotify

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Aug. 18 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $5.12 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Aug. 17, 2021 linked to the common stock of Spotify Technology SA, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the shares close at or above the coupon threshold level, 60% of the initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 12.8%.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the shares close at or above the call threshold, 100% of the stock’s initial price, on any quarterly determination date other than the final one.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, 60% of the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final share price is less than the initial share price.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a dealer.
