New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million range accrual autocallables tied to CMS curve, S&P 500

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 18 - Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked range accrual notes due April 30, 2032 with automatic redemption based on the S&P 500, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate will be 9% for the first year. Beginning April 30, 2013, the interest rate will be 9% 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 closing level of the S&P 500 is at least 990. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par.

Beginning April 30, 2017, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par if the index closes at or above the initial index level on the 30th day of any month.

The issuer said it may increase the issue size prior to the settlement date but is not required to do so.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
