New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.05 million contingent income notes on indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 28 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.05 million of contingent income securities due Jan. 29, 2031 linked to the worse performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 9% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial index level, on the observation date for that month.

If each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. If the final level of any index is less than its downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
