New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.89 million contingent income notes linked to two indexes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., March 28 - Morgan Stanley priced $1.89 million of contingent income securities due March 29, 2029 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a fixed monthly coupon of 7.5% for the first four years. After that, the notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 7.5% if each index closes at or above its 75% coupon barrier level on a determination date for that month.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, unless either index finishes below its 75% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
