New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3.82 million contingent income autocallables on two stocks

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., May 29 – Morgan Stanley priced $3.82 million of contingent income autocallable securities due May 25, 2018 linked to the worst performing of the common shares of International Business Machines Corp. and Johnson & Johnson, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.35% if each stock closes at or above its downside threshold level, 75% of its initial share price, on the determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be redeemed at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly determination date after one year.

If the notes are not called and each stock finishes at or above its downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing stock.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
