By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 22 - Morgan Stanley priced $7.55 million of floating-rate notes due Feb. 21, 2020 linked to the 10-year Constant Maturity Sifma Municipal Swap rate, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly and equals the reference rate plus 50 basis points, subject to a minimum rate of 3% per year in each interest period.

The reference rate was first published on Jan. 20 and is based on the projected long-term interest rates on tax-exempt municipal bonds as well as long-term interest rates generally.

The payout at maturity will be par.

The issuer said it may increase the issue size prior to the settlement date.
