New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.03 million contingent income cannon autocallables linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 26 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.03 million of contingent income autocallable cannon securities due Feb. 27, 2030 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 7% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 75% of its initial level, on the observation date for that month.

Beginning on Feb. 27, 2020, the notes will be redeemed at par plus the contingent payment if each index closes at or above the initial level on any quarterly redemption date.

If the notes are not called and the worst-performing index finishes above its threshold level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 2% for each 1% by which the final level of the worst-performing index is greater than its threshold level.

If the worst-performing index finishes below its threshold level, investors will lose 2% for each 1% by which the final level of the worst-performing index is less than its threshold level. There is no minimum payment at maturity.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
