New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $500,000 contingent income securities on indexes

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 27 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $500,000 of contingent income securities due Dec. 27, 2033 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a fixed quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 6.5% for the first five years. Beginning on March 21, 2024, the coupon will be a contingent quarterly payment at an annual rate of 6.5% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 65% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The payout at maturity will be par plus any final coupon unless either index finishes below its 50% downside threshold level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performing index from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
