New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.39 million contingent income notes linked to Russell 2000, Euro Stoxx 50

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 27 - Morgan Stanley priced $1.39 million of contingent income securities due Sept. 29, 2028 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly. The interest rate is 8.75% for the first three years. After that, the notes will pay a monthly coupon at an annual rate of 8.75% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 50% of its initial level, on the review date for that month.

If each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if any. If either index finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
