New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $3.03 million contingent income buffered autocallables on two ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 4 –Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3.03 million of contingent income buffered autocallable securities due March 2, 2022 linked to the lesser performing of the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund and the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF, 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 the rate of 6.5% per year if each underlier closes at or above its coupon barrier, 80% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning on Dec. 21, 2020, the notes will be automatically called at par if each underlier closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either underlier finishes below its 80% buffer level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlier declines beyond 20%.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
