New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $6.5 million callable contingent income notes on three indexes

By Taylor Fox

New York, Dec. 17 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $6.5 million of callable contingent income securities due Dec. 20, 2022 linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9.25% per year if each asset closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date that period.

If each asset finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 60% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par.

If any asset finishes below its downside threshold, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing asset from its initial level.

The notes will be callable quarterly at par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
