Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 11 - Morgan Stanley priced $3.07 million of reverse convertible securities due March 12, 2009 linked to the common stock of Weatherford International Ltd., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The six-month notes will pay 7.5% for an annualized coupon of 15%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless Weatherford stock falls below the trigger price - 70% of the initial share price - during the life of the notes and finishes below the initial share price, in which case the payout will be a number of Weatherford shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at Morgan Stanley's option, the value of those shares in cash.
