By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., March 7 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $3 million of 0% securities due Feb. 28, 2029 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index finishes above the 132% upper strike threshold, the payout at maturity will be $17.08 per $10 stated principal amount plus an additional return of 1.068% for each 1% of the initial level by which the final average index value exceeds the upper strike value, subject to a maximum payout of par plus 97.5%.

If the index finishes at or below the upper strike threshold but above the 92% lower strike threshold, the payout will be par plus a return equal to 1.77% for every 1% of the initial level by which the final average index value exceeds the lower strike threshold.

If the index falls by 8% or more but not more than 24%, investors will lose 1.5% for every 1% decline beyond 8%.

If the index finishes below the downside threshold, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the index declines from its initial level.

The securities are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
