By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Aug. 18 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $2.5 million of contingent income autocallable securities due May 15, 2025 linked to the worst performing stocks of Apple Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Facebook, Inc. and Exxon Mobil Corp., according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 13.5% if each underlying stock closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly review date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus any coupon due unless either underlying stock finishes below its 60% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing stock.
