New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $5 million more leveraged CMS curve, S&P 500 notes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 25 - Morgan Stanley priced $5 million of additional fixed-to-floating-rate leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked notes due Feb. 28, 2034, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The original $5 million of notes priced Feb. 6. The total issue size is now $10 million. The issuer said it may increase the issue size further prior to the Feb. 28 settlement date but is not required to do so.

The interest rate is fixed at 10% for the first year. After that, it will be (a) four 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 65% of the initial index level, subject to a maximum rate of 10% per year. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

The payout at maturity will be par.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
