New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1.54 million upside knock-out buffered securities tied to gold

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 17 - Morgan Stanley priced $1.54 million of 0% upside knock-out buffered securities due Nov. 20, 2012 linked to the price of gold, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

An upside knock-out event will occur if the price of gold trades above 175% of the initial price during the life of the securities.

If a knock-out event has occurred, the payout at maturity will be par plus 27%.

If a knock-out event has not occurred and the final gold price is greater than the initial price, the payout will be par plus 125% of the gold return.

If a knock-out event has not occurred and the final gold price is less than the initial price but greater than or equal to 90% of the initial price, the payout will be par. If the final price of gold is lower than the buffer, investors will lose 1.1111% for each 1% decline beyond the buffer.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.
