By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 17 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3.41 million of contingent income autocallable securities with step-up redemption feature due Aug. 14, 2020 linked to Facebook, Inc. stock, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.15% if the stock closes at or above the 80% downside threshold on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the stock closes at or above the redemption threshold on any of the first 11 quarterly determination dates.

The redemption threshold will be 105% of the initial share price the first four determination dates, stepping up to 110% of the initial level for the next four quarters and to 115% for the final three quarters.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless the stock finishes below its downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the stock.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
