New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.51 million contingent income autocallables linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 30 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.51 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Sept. 28, 2029 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 8.5% per year plus any previously unpaid contingent coupons for any prior observation dates if each index closes at or above its initial level on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning one year after issuance, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent coupon plus any previously unpaid contingent coupons if both indexes close at or above their initial levels on any quarterly redemption determination date.

If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par, and investors will also receive the final contingent coupon and any previously unpaid contingent coupons if both indexes finish at or above their initial levels.

If the notes are not called and either index finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
