New Issue: Morgan Stanley sells $2.05 million knock-out notes on iShares MSCI EAFE via JPMorgan

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 17 - Morgan Stanley priced $2.05 million of 0% knock-out notes due June 22, 2012 based on the performance of the iShares MSCI EAFE index fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the dealer. Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA as co-agent.

A knock-out event occurs if the fund falls by more than 25% of its initial level during the life of the notes.

If a knock-out event does not occur, the payout at maturity will be par plus any gain, with a minimum return of 14.3%.

Otherwise, investors will receive par plus the fund return, with exposure to losses.

The maximum payment at maturity will be $1,200 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
