New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.9 million contingent income autocallables on two indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, June 1 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.9 million of contingent income autocallable securities due May 29, 2025 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.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 70% of the initial level, on the determination date for that month. The contingent coupon will be 7% for the first four years, stepping up to 10% in year five and to 12% in year nine.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon unless either index finishes below the barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
