New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $864,000 contingent income autocalls on Bancorp stocks

By Kiku Steinfeld

Chicago, Dec. 20 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $864,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 18, 2024 linked to the lesser performing of the common stocks of Fifth Third Bancorp and U.S. Bancorp, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If each stock closes at or above its downside threshold level, 65% of its initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 7.37%.

After six months, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date.

If each stock’s final share price is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing stock declines from its initial share price.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
