New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $4.37 million contingent income buffered notes linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 29 - Morgan Stanley priced $4.37 million of contingent income buffered securities due May 30, 2028 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annualized rate of 8.75% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 75% of its initial level, on the determination date for that month. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid that month.

If the final level of each index is greater than or equal to 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the last contingent monthly coupon, if any. Otherwise, investors will lose 2% for every 1% that the worst-performing index declines beyond 50%.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
