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

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 16 – Morgan Stanley priced another $5 million of fixed-to-floating leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked notes due June 30, 2034, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Previously, the issuer priced $1 million of the notes on June 3 and $9 million on June 10. The total issue size is now $15 million.

The coupon is fixed at 11% for the first year. After that, it will be five times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the 50% barrier level, subject to a maximum coupon of 11%. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

If the index finishes at or above the 50% barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposes to losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
