New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2 million buffered notes linked to S&P, Russell

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 4 – Morgan Stanley priced $2 million of 0% buffered securities due July 1, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final level of each index is greater than or equal to its threshold level, 96% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 41.5%.

If the final level of either index is less than its threshold level but the final level of each index is greater than or equal to 79% of its initial level, the payout will be par plus 2.4412% for every 1% by which the lesser-performing index’s final level exceeds 79% of its initial level.

If the final level of either index is less than 79% of its initial level, investors will lose 1.2658% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index declines beyond 21%.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
