Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 5 - Morgan Stanley pushed back the pricing, settlement and maturity dates of its upcoming 0% currency-linked participation notes linked to the performance of a basket of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The maturity date was changed to Feb. 19, 2013 from Feb. 12, 2013.
