New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $5.09 million knock-out notes linked to gold via JPMorgan

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, July 20 - Morgan Stanley priced $5.09 million of 0% knock-out notes due Jan. 23, 2012 based on the price of gold, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. are the agents.

A knock-out event occurs if the price of gold falls by more than 25% during the life of the notes.

If a knock-out event occurs, the payout at maturity will be par plus the return of gold with exposure to any losses.

If a knock-out event does not occur, the payout will be par plus any gain in the price of gold, with a contingent minimum return of 9.5%.

In either case, investors will receive a maximum payout at maturity of $1,300 per $1,000 principal amount.
