New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1.15 million contingent income autocalls on Nasdaq, Russell, S&P

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Aug. 6 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.15 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Nov. 2, 2021 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index, the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq-100 index, 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 the rate of 9.35% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the determination date for that month.

The notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date after three months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus any coupon due unless any index finishes below its 70% downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the least-performing index declines from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
