New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3.32 million 9.5% contingent income autocalls tied to indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 5 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3.32 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Jan. 3, 2020 linked to the worse performing of the Financials Select Sector index and the Euro Stoxx Banks index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.5% if each index closes at or above its 75% coupon threshold on the determination date that quarter.

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

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 75% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent with distribution through Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
