New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $19.51 million contingent income autocallables on Wells Fargo

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Feb. 24 - Morgan Stanley priced $19.51 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Feb. 25, 2014 linked to the common stock of Wells Fargo & Co., according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Wells Fargo stock closes above the downside threshold level - 75% of the initial share price - on a semiannual determination date, investors will receive a contingent payment of $0.425 for each $10.00 note. Otherwise, no contingent payment will be made for that semiannual period.

If the closing share price is greater than the initial share price on any semiannual determination date, the notes will be automatically called at par plus the contingent payment.

If the notes are not called and the final share price is greater than the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent payment. Otherwise, the payout will be par plus the stock return.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.
