New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.11 million contingent income jump securities on Russell, S&P

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 3 – Morgan Stanley priced $2.11 million of contingent income jump securities due March 3, 2026 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 5% if each index finishes at or above its 65% barrier level on the observation date for that quarter.

If each index finishes at or above its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the upside payment of 75%, plus the finial coupon.

If either index falls, but each closes above its barrier, the payout will be par plus the final coupon. If either index falls below the barrier, but neither falls below the 50% downside threshold, the payout will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the loss of the worse performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
