New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $961,000 contingent income securities on Russell, S&P

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 1 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $961,000 of contingent income securities due Oct. 31, 2031 linked to the worse performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a fixed monthly coupon at an annual rate of 7% for the first five years. After that, the coupon will be a contingent monthly payment at an annual rate of 7% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 55% of its initial level, on the observation date for that month.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either index finishes below its 55% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
