New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $12.89 million autocallable step-up notes linked to S&P 500

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., July 30 - Morgan Stanley priced $12.89 million of 0% market-linked autocallable step-up notes due July 30, 2027 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors will receive a contingent monthly coupon if the index closes at or above the barrier level, 990, on a monthly determination date. Otherwise, no contingent monthly coupon will be paid that month.

Initially, the contingent monthly coupon is 7% per year. It will step up to 8% per year on July 30, 2015, to 10% per year on July 30, 2018, to 12% per year on July 30, 2021 and to 15% on July 30, 2024.

Beginning in July 2017, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent monthly coupon if the index closes at or above the initial index level on any quarterly redemption determination date.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent monthly coupon, if any.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
