New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.5 million contingent income autocallables linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 5 – Morgan Stanley priced $2.5 million of contingent income autocallable securities due July 31, 2029 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Every month, if each index closes at or above its initial level on the valuation date for that month, investors will receive a contingent coupon at the rate of 8.1% per year plus any previously unpaid contingent coupons for any prior observation dates.

Beginning one year after issuance, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent coupon plus any previously unpaid contingent coupons if each index closes at or above its initial level 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, and investors will also receive the final contingent coupon and any previously unpaid contingent coupons if each index finishes at or above its initial level.

If the notes are not called and any 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.
