New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1.6 million contingent income autocalls on three stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Feb. 11 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.6 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Feb. 2, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of American International Group, Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Lincoln National Corp. and Progressive Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 9.75% if each stock closes at or above its coupon barrier, 60% of its initial level, on the determination date for that period.

After six months, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes above its initial level on any monthly redemption date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any stock finishes below its 60% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing stock.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
