New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $8 billion of floaters, fixed-to-floaters due 2028, 2030, 2035

By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., April 17 – Morgan Stanley (A1/A-/A+) priced a four-tranche offering of floating-rate and fixed-to-floating rate senior notes at par for a total of $8 billion on Wednesday, according to an FWP filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The single series of floaters, totaling $1 billion and maturing in 2028, will bear interest at SOFR plus 102 basis points.

The fixed-to-floating series maturing in 2028 totals $1.5 billion with an initial 5.652% coupon. The interest rate will convert to SOFR plus 101 bps on April 13, 2027.

The second fixed-to-floating series, totaling $2.5 billion and maturing in 2030, has an initial 5.656% coupon. The interest rate will convert to SOFR plus 126 bps on April 18, 2029.

The 2035-maturing series of fixed-to-floaters has an initial 5.831% coupon and totals $3 billion. The interest rate on the 2035 notes will convert to SOFR plus 158 bps on April 19, 2034.

The floaters feature a par call, exercisable in whole on April 13, 2027, or in whole or in part on or after March 13, 2028.

Each series of fixed-to-floaters are non-callable until Oct. 12, 2024, at which point each series will be subject to a make-whole call until its interest conversion date. Each series will then be callable in whole, but not in part, at par on that date.

The 2028 notes will also feature a par call, exercisable in whole or in part, starting March 13, 2028.

The 2030 notes’ par call, exercisable in whole or in part, will start March 18, 2030.

The 2035 notes’ par call will start Jan. 19, 2035, likewise exercisable in whole or in part.
