New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $250,000 contingent income autocallables linked to ETFs

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Jan. 3 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $250,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 27, 2024 linked to the lesser performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund, the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 10% per year if each ETF closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 75% of its initial share price, on the determination date for that period.

The notes will be automatically called at par if each ETF closes at or above its call threshold level on any quarterly determination date after six months. The threshold will be 100% of the initial share price for each ETF.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either ETF finishes below its barrier level, 65% of its initial share price, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing ETF declines.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
