By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 31 - Morgan Stanley plans to price contingent income autocallable securities due Jan. 18, 2028 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly payment at an annualized rate of 8.25% if the index closes at or above the 70% coupon barrier level for that month.

If the index closes at or above the initial level on any quarterly review date after five years, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon.

If the index finishes at or above the 50% downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent monthly payment.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will be the agent.

The notes will price on Jan. 15 and settle on Jan. 18.

The Cusip number is 61761JAW9.
