New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $730,000 contingent income securities tied to S&P, Russell

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, July 12 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $730,000 of contingent income securities due June 30, 2033 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 6.15% for the first five years. After that they will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 6.15% if each index closes above its downside threshold on the observation date for that quarter.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 50% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing index.

The guarantor is Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and UBS Financial Services Inc. are the agents.
