New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1.12 million callable contingent income notes on index, fund

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., March 26 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.12 million of callable contingent income securities due March 22, 2022 linked to the S&P 500 index and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a contingent semiannual coupon at the rate of 9% per year if each asset closes at or above the coupon barrier level, 65% of the initial asset level, on the observation date for that period.

If each asset finishes at or above the downside threshold level, 65% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the lesser-performing asset’s decline from its initial level.

Beginning Sept. 30, the notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
