By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 2 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1 million of 0% jump securities with autocallable feature due Dec. 27, 2022 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will be called at par plus an annualized call premium of 10.55% if the index closes at or above the redemption threshold on any semiannual determination date after one year. The call level will be 100% of the initial level on the first determination date, stepping up by 2.5% on each subsequent year.

If the index closes at or above its initial level, the payout at maturity will be $1,527.50 per $1,000 principal amount.

If the index falls by up to its 65% downside threshold, the payout will be $1,000 per $1,000 of notes.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses.
