New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $1.52 million callable contingent income notes on Russell 2000

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 1 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.52 million of callable contingent income securities due April 28, 2023 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 7% if the index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that month.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless the index finishes below its 50% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

The notes will be callable at par on any quarterly call date after one year.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
