New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.08 contingent income autocallables on indexes

By Taylor Fox

New York, Nov. 23 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $2.08 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Nov. 18, 2025 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index, the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq-100 index., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 6% if the shares of all indexes close at or above their 70% coupon barrier levels on the observation date for that quarter.

After one year, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its 65% downside threshold level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline from the initial level for the worst performer.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
