New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $5.37 million contingent income autocallables linked to Disney
By Angela McDaniels
Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 23 – Morgan Stanley priced $5.37 million of contingent income autocallable securities with step-up redemption threshold level feature due Dec. 21, 2018 linked to the common stock of Walt Disney Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If Disney shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial share price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 8.65%.
The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Disney shares close at or above the redemption threshold level price on any quarterly determination date other than the final determination date. The redemption threshold level is 105% of the initial share price for determination dates one through four, 110% of the initial share price for determination dates five through eight and 115% of the initial share price for determination dates nine through 11.
If the final share price is greater than or equal to the 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 final share price is less than the initial share price.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
