New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2.37 million trigger phoenix autocallables on two indexes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., March 28 - Morgan Stanley priced $2.37 million of 0% trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due March 29, 2018 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If both indexes close at or above the 64.85% trigger level on any quarterly observation date, the notes will pay a contingent coupon of 8% for that quarter.

If both indexes close at or above the initial level on any quarterly observation date after one year, the notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless either index finishes below the trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent, and UBS Financial Services Inc. is the dealer.
