New Issue: Morgan Stanley ups CMS curve, Russell 2000-linked notes to $1.1 million

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Dec. 5 – Morgan Stanley priced an additional $100,000 of fixed-to-floating-rate CMS curve and Russell 2000 index-linked range accrual securities due Nov. 28, 2034, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the total issue size to $1.1 million. The initial $1 million of notes priced on Nov. 4.

The coupon is fixed at 7.5% for the first year. After that, it will be (a) 7.5% per year multiplied by (b) the proportion of days on which the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate is greater than or equal to zero and the index closes at or above the index reference level, 60% of the initial level. Interest is payable monthly.

If the index finishes at or above the 50% barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the index’s decline.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
