By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, April 24 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3 million of phoenix autocallable securities due April 28, 2022 linked to Microsoft Corp. common shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at a rate of 12.5% per year if the stock closes at or above its downside threshold, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter, along with any other previously unpaid coupons.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the stock closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any, along with any other previously unpaid coupons unless the stock finishes below its 70% downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
