New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3.94 million worst-of autocallable RevCons on three stocks

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 2 – Morgan Stanley priced $3.94 million of 7% worst-of fixed coupon autocallable RevCons due Aug. 1, 2018 linked to the worst performing of the shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Tesla Motors, Inc. and Alphabet Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

If each stock closes at or above its redemption threshold level, 95% of the initial price initially, stepping down to 90% in July and to 85% in February 2018, on a monthly determination date after three months, the notes will be automatically called at par plus the coupon.

If each stock finishes at or above the 50% downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. Otherwise, investors will receive a number of shares of the worst performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price of that stock or, at the issuer’s option, the cash value of those shares.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
