New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $6.74 million contingent income autocallable notes on indexes

By Taylor Fox

New York, Oct. 20 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $6.74 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Sept. 21, 2023 linked to the Nasdaq-100 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 9% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date that quarter.

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

If the lowest-performing index finishes at or above its barrier level, 70% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. If the lowest-performing index finishes below its barrier level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest-performing index from its initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
