New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1 million contingent income autocallables tied to Russell 2000

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 21– Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Sept. 21, 2021 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 10.25% if the index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 85% of its initial level, on a determination date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if the index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date other than the final date after March 21, 2017.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any, unless the index finishes below the 70% downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent. UBS Financial Services Inc. is acting as dealer.
