New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.16 million contingent income notes due 2029 tied to two indexes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., July 31 – Morgan Stanley priced $2.16 million of contingent income securities due July 31, 2029 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.

The notes will pay a monthly fixed coupon at an annualized rate of 6.05% for the first six years. After that, the notes pay an annualized 6.05% contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its 50% coupon barrier level on a determination date for that month.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, unless either index finishes below its 50% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
