New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million CMS curve range accrual notes linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 8 – Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of CMS curve range accrual securities due June 30, 2035 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 coupon is fixed at 9% for the first year. After that, it will be 9% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate is greater than or equal to zero and each index closes at or above its index reference level, 60% of its initial level. Interest is payable monthly.

If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.

The issuer said it might increase the issue size prior to the settlement date, June 30, but is not required to do so.
