New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.53 million contingent income autocalls on stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Dec. 11 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.53 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 1, 2021 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of Northrop Grumman Corp., Nvidia Corp. and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If each stock closes at or above its downside threshold level, 60% of its initial share price, on a quarterly observation date, the notes will pay a contingent coupon that quarter at an annualized rate of 18%.

After six months, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date.

If each stock’s final share price is greater than or equal to its 60% 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 lesser-performing stock declines from its initial share price.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
