By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 14 - Morgan Stanley priced $2.16 million of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Aug. 15, 2018 linked to VMware Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annualized rate of 9% if the price of VMware stock closes at or above the 67.97% trigger price on the observation date for that month.

If the stock closes at or above the initial price on any monthly observation date after one year, the notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes are not called and the VMware share price finishes at or above the trigger price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon.

Otherwise, investors will be exposed to losses.
