Tacoma, Wash., May 4– Morgan Stanley priced $2 million of contingent income autocallable securities due May 5, 2022 linked to the worst performing of the S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index – Excess Return, the S&P GSCI Grains Index – Excess Return and the Bloomberg Softs Subindex, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 17.5% if each index closes at or above its downside threshold level, 80% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.
Beginning Oct. 30, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its redemption threshold level, 95% of its initial level, on any quarterly determination date.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon unless the worst-performing index finishes below its downside threshold level, 80% of its initial level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
