New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million principal at risk securities on S&P 500

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Oct. 31 - Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of equity-linked principal at risk securities due Oct. 31, 2028 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at a rate of 7.5% per year if the index closes at or above the coupon barrier level - 75% of the initial level - on the determination date for that month. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid that month.

If the index finishes at or above 50% of the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par and, if the final level is also greater than or equal to the coupon barrier level, the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will receive par plus the index return, with full exposure to losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
