New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.53 million contingent income autocallables linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 27 - Morgan Stanley priced $2.53 million of contingent income autocallable securities due March 28, 2028 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 80% of its initial index level, on a monthly determination date, investors will receive a contingent coupon that month at the rate of 10% per year.

Beginning five years after issuance, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent coupon if both indexes close at or above their initial levels on any quarterly redemption determination date.

If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any. If either index finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
