New Issue: Morgan Stanley lowers fees for $2 million range accrual notes linked to CMS curve, S&P 500

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Oct. 28 - Morgan Stanley lowered the agent's commission for its $2 million of CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked range accrual notes due Oct. 27, 2031 to 4%, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The commission was previously 5%. The agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, will pay varying discounts and commissions to dealers, including Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, of up to 4% per note.

As previously reported, the company increased the size of the issue to $2 million from $1 million on Oct. 26.

The coupon will be 10% for the first year. After that, it will be 10% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate is greater than or equal to the two-year CMS rate and the index closes at or above 850. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par.
