Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 1 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $9.71 million of contingent income autocallable securities with step-up redemption threshold level feature due July 31, 2020 linked to the common stock of Apple Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
If Apple shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 8.8%.
The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Apple shares close at or above the applicable redemption threshold level on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date. The redemption threshold level is 105% of the initial share price on the first through fourth determination dates, 110% of the initial share price on the fifth through eighth determination dates and 115% of the initial share price on the ninth through 11th determination dates.
If the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final share price is less than the initial share price.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the agent. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is handling distribution.
