New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $500,000 contingent income autocalls on Russell, Nasdaq

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Dec. 7 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $500,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 6, 2019 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 10.25% if each index closes above its 70% downside threshold level on the observation date.

The notes will be automatically called at par if both indexes close at or above their initial levels on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either index finishes below its 70% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
