New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $11.1 million contingent income securities linked to S&P 500

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., May 17 - Morgan Stanley priced $11.1 million of contingent income securities due May 22, 2028 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 7.75% if the index closes at or above the 75% coupon barrier level on the observation date for that quarter.

If the index finishes at or above the 50% downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par and, if the final level is also greater than or equal to the coupon barrier level, the contingent quarterly coupon.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to losses from the initial index level to the final level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC as dealer.
