New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $631,000 contingent income autocallables on airline stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., May 2 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $631,000 of contingent income autocallable securities due May 5, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the common stocks of American Airlines Group Inc., United Continental Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If each stock closes at or above its downside threshold level, 70% of its initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 13.5%.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its call threshold, 95% of its initial share price, on any quarterly determination date.

If each stock’s final share price is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing stock declines from its initial share price.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
