New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $199,000 contingent coupon commodity-linked notes

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, July 27 - Morgan Stanley priced $199,000 of contingent coupon commodity-linked notes due Jan. 29, 2015 linked to a basket of eight commodities and two commodity indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The equally weighted basket components include copper, corn, cotton, gasoline RBOB, nickel, palladium, silver, sugar, the S&P GSCI Brent Crude Index - Excess Return and the S&P GSCI Livestock Index - Excess Return.

The notes will pay a coupon each year equal to the sum of the weighted component returns of the basket commodities, subject to a floor of zero. If a commodity's return is positive, its component return will be set to a fixed return of 5.5%. If a commodity's return is negative, its component return will be the greater of the commodity return and negative 20%.

The payment at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
