New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $2.51 million contingent income autocallables on Google, Apple

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Jan. 8 – Morgan Stanley priced $2.51 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Jan. 9, 2017 linked to the worst performing of Google Inc. shares and and Apple Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 8% per year if each stock closes at or above its downside threshold level, 65% of its initial level, on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning on July 9, 2015, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly redemption determination date.

If the notes are not called and each stock finishes at or above its downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon, if any.

If the notes are not called and either stock finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing stock from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
