New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $2 million fixed-to-floaters with 10% start rate

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 9– Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $2 million of fixed-to-floating rate securities due Feb. 28, 2037 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

Interest is payable monthly and will be at a rate of 10% for the first 1.5 years. After that, it will accrue at 15 times the 30-year ICE swap rate minus the two-year ICE swap rate for each day both indexes close above 65% of their initial levels, up to a maximum rate of 10% a year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 50% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the loss of the worse performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
