New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2 million trigger jump notes on S&P 500, Russell

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., May 28 - Morgan Stanley priced $2 million of 0% trigger jump securities due Dec. 26, 2014 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each index closes at or above its upside payment threshold, 96% of the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par of $10.00 plus the $1.86 upside payment.

If either index is less than the upside payment threshold but both indexes close at or above their respective downside thresholds, 86% of initial levels, the payout will be par.

If either index closes below its downside threshold, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is the dealer.
