New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $350,000 contingent income autocallables on S&P, Russell

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Sept. 16 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $350,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due Sept. 20, 2021 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If both indexes close at or above the coupon barrier prices, 70% of the initial levels, on a monthly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that month at an annualized rate of 8%.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the worst performing index closes at or above its initial level on any monthly determination date after six months.

If the final level of the worst performer is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final level is less than the initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
