New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $4.52 million callable contingent income notes on indexes

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., May 16 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $4.52 million of callable contingent income securities due May 17, 2024 linked to the least performing of 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.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each month the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 8.8% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date that period.

If each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 60% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par.

If any index finishes below its downside threshold, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.

Beginning Nov. 19, the notes will be callable quarterly at par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
