New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.05 million contingent income autocallables on oil index

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Nov. 5 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.05 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Oct. 30, 2017 linked to the S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index – Excess Return, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 10% if the index closes at or above the downside threshold level, 70% of the initial index level, on the determination date for that quarter.

After a six-month non-call period, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date other than the final one.

If the final index level 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 index level is less than the initial index level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
