By Susanna Moon

Chicago, June 21 - Morgan Stanley priced $3.43 million of 0% knock-out notes due July 5, 2012 linked to Apple Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-out event occurs if Apple stock ever falls by more than 25% during the life of the notes.

If a knock-out event does not occur, the payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of any stock gain and a contingent minimum return of 5%.

Otherwise, investors will receive par plus the stock return, with exposure to losses.

In either case, the maximum payment at maturity is $1,250 per $1,000 principal amount.
