Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On June 27, 2022, Morgan Stanley (the “Company”) announced it will increase its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.775 per share from the current $0.70 per share, beginning with the common dividend expected to be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors in the quarter ending September 30, 2022 (the “third quarter”).

 

In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new multi-year equity share repurchase program of outstanding common stock up to $20 billion, without a set expiration date, beginning in the third quarter. The share repurchases will be exercised from time to time at prices the Company deems appropriate subject to various considerations, including current market conditions, the Company’s capital position and future economic and earnings outlook. The share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans.

 

On June 23, 2022, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System published summary results of its 2022 supervisory stress tests, as a result of which the Company will be subject to a Stress Capital Buffer of 5.8% from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.

 

A copy of the press release relating to this announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
