New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.66 million contingent income notes linked to Euro Stoxx, Russell

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 23 – Morgan Stanley priced $1.66 million of contingent income securities due Dec. 23, 2030 linked to the lesser performing of the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly. The interest rate is 7% for the first five years. In years six through 15, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 7% per year if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 50% of its initial level, on the observation date for that month.

If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. If the final level of either index is less than its barrier level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lower-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
