New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.43 million contingent income autocallables linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 27 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.43 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Sept. 28, 2029 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index, the S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 7.1% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon threshold level, 75% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning Sept. 30, 2020, the notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly redemption determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its downside threshold level, 60% of its initial level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the least-performing index declines from its initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
