New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $3.93 million Outperformance PLUS linked to S&P 100, Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 28 - Morgan Stanley priced $3.93 million of 0% Outperformance Performance Leveraged Upside Securities due Feb. 28, 2014 linked to the performance of the S&P 100 index relative to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The outperformance return will equal the return of the S&P 100 minus the return of the Russell 2000. The outperformance return will be positive if the S&P 100 outperforms the Russell 2000 and negative if the S&P 100 underperforms the Russell 2000.

If the S&P 100 outperforms the Russell 2000, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 300% of the outperformance return, subject to a maximum return of 11%.

If the S&P 100 underperforms the Russell 2000, the payout will be par plus the outperformance return, which will result in investors receiving less than par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
