New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $600,000 contingent income autocalls on Nasdaq, S&P

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 15 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $600,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due July 15, 2022 tied to the Nasdaq-100 index and the S&P 500 index according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a semiannual contingent coupon at the rate of 6.78% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date that period, plus any previously unpaid coupon.

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

If the lowest-performing index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 70% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus any final coupon. If the lowest-performing index finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest-performing index from its initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
