New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $500,000 contingent income securities linked to indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 5 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $500,000 of contingent income securities due Sept. 1, 2033 linked to the S&P 500 index, 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 coupon at the annualized rate of 7% for the first 2.5 years. After that a monthly coupon at a rate of 7% per year will be paid only if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 60% of its initial level, on the observation date that month.

If the lowest-performing index finishes at or above its barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. If the lowest-performing index finishes below its barrier level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest-performing index from its initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
