New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million CMS, S&P 500-linked accrual notes with conversion right

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 9 - Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked accrual notes due March 25, 2031 with issuer fixed-rate conversion right, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be 11% for the first two years. After that, the rate will accrue at five times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate on each day that the S&P 500 closes at or above 975, subject to a floor of zero and a cap of 12% per year in any interest payment period.

Interest is payable quarterly. On each interest payment date from March 23, 2014 onward, the issuer can choose to exercise its conversion right, in which case the interest rate will be converted to a fixed rate of 11% for each subsequent interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is the agent.
