New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million leveraged CMS curve, S&P 500-linked notes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., July 16 - Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of fixed-to-floating-rate leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked notes due July 31, 2033, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon is 10% for the first year. Beginning July 31, 2014, it will be (a) the leverage factor times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate multiplied by (b) the proportion of days on which the index's closing level is at least 75% of the initial index level.

The leverage factor is initially four. It will increase to seven on July 31, 2023. The initial index level will be equal to the index's closing level on July 26.

Interest is payable quarterly. The interest rate is subject to a floor of zero and a cap of 10% per year.

The payout at maturity will be par.

The issuer said it may increase the issue size prior to the July 31 settlement date but is not required to do so.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC as dealer.
