New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $7.02 million contingent income autocalls on Nasdaq, S&P

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Aug. 27 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $7.02 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Aug. 28, 2025 linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 index and the S&P 500 index, 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 8.2% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the determination date for that month.

The notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date after six months.

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

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
