Tacoma, Wash., May 6 - Morgan Stanley priced $1.45 million of phoenix autocallable securities due May 20, 2015 linked to the common stock of Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Cabot Oil & Gas shares close at or above the downside threshold level, 75% of the initial share price, on a quarterly observation date, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 10.78% for that quarter.
