New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $7.65 million contingent income autocallables linked to S&P GSCI Crude

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 23 – Morgan Stanley priced $7.65 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Oct. 20, 2015 linked to the S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index Excess Return, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 20.1% if the index closes at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial index level, on the determination date for that month.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if the index closes at or above its initial level on any of the first five determination dates.

If the final index level is greater than or equal to the 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 final index level is less than the initial index level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
