New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.54 million 15.5% RevCons linked to iShares MSCI Brazil index fund

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 26 - Morgan Stanley priced $2.54 million of reverse convertible securities (RevCons) due Sept. 27, 2008 linked to shares of the iShares MSCI Brazil index fund, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The six-month notes will pay 7.75% for an annualized rate of 15.5%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless shares of the exchange-traded fund fall by 25% or more during the life of the notes and finish below the initial share price, in which case the payout will be a number of shares of the ETF equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at Morgan Stanley's option, the equivalent amount in cash.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.
