New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3 million contingent income autocalls on two stocks

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 28 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3 million of contingent income autocallable securities due March 1, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of International Business Machines Corp. and salesforce.com, 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, 65% of its initial share price, on a quarterly observation date, the notes will pay a contingent coupon that period at an annualized rate of 10.92%.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly determination date after six months.

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.
