New York, Dec. 21 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3.16 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Dec. 14, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.5% if the shares of all stocks close at or above their 60% downside threshold levels on the observation date for that period.
The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial price on any quarterly determination date after one year.
The payout at maturity will be par plus any coupons due unless any stock finishes below its 60% downside threshold level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline from the initial price for the worst performer.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
