Columbus, Ohio, March 4 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1 million of contingent income buffered autocallable securities due March 2, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq-100 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 6.25% per year if each underlier closes at or above its coupon threshold, 85% of its initial level, on the determination date for that month.
After six months, the notes will be automatically called at par plus the coupon if each underlier closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly redemption determination date.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the coupon unless either underlier finishes below its buffer level, 90% of its initial level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlier declines beyond 10%.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
