Morgan Stanley plans 6.25%-6.75% contingent rate autocalls on indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, April 9 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC intends to issue contingent income autocallable securities due Oct. 30, 2019 linked to the worse performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 6.25% to 6.75% if each index closes at or above its 70% coupon threshold on the determination date that month.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any call review date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index ever closes below its 70% downside threshold during the life of the notes, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.

The notes will price on April 25 and settle on April 30.

The Cusip number is 61768CP35.
