By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Jan. 3 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $5.84 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 28, 2020 linked to Facebook, Inc. stock, according to a 424B2 filing 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 8.9% if the stock closes at or above its 80% downside threshold on the related quarterly determination date.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the stock closes at or above the applicable redemption threshold on any of the first 11 quarterly determination dates. The redemption threshold will be 105% of the initial price for the first four determination dates, 110% of the initial price for the next four dates and 115% of the initial price for the three dates after that.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the stock finishes below its 80% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
