New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $5 million more CMS curve range accrual notes tied to S&P, Russell

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., June 1 – Morgan Stanley priced an additional $5 million of CMS curve range accrual securities due May 29, 2035 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the deal size to $6 million. The initial $1 million of notes priced on May 12.

The coupon will be fixed at 9% for the first year. After that, it will accrue at 9% for each day that the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate is greater than the two-year CMS rate and each index closes at or above the 60% reference level. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par plus accrued interest unless either index finishes below the 50% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
