New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $8.07 million auto-callable notes linked to Nasdaq, Nikkei

By Angela McDaniels

Seattle, June 6 - Morgan Stanley priced an $8.07 million issue of auto-callable notes due June 15, 2017 linked to the Nasdaq 100 and Nikkei 225 indexes, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes carry a contingent coupon of 13.4% per year. The coupon will be paid quarterly unless either index closes at or below its barrier level - 95% of the initial index level - on a quarterly observation date, in which case investors will receive no interest for that quarter.

The quarterly observation dates are March 5, June 5, Sept. 5 and Dec. 5 of each year.

The notes will be automatically redeemed at par if both indexes close at or above their threshold levels - 115% of the initial index level - on any day during the life of the notes.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.
