New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $3 million contingent income autocallables on stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Jan. 24 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Jan. 20, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of Home Depot, Inc., Lowe’s Cos., Inc. and Masco Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 11.8% if each stock closes at or above its downside threshold, 65% of its initial level, on the determination date for that period.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes above its initial level on any monthly redemption date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon unless any stock finishes below its 65% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing stock.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
