New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million CMS curve and S&P 500-linked range accrual notes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., July 8 – Morgan Stanley priced $1 million of fixed-to-floating-rate CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked range accrual securities due July 31, 2034, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be 10% for the first year. Beginning July 31, 2015, it will be 10% multiplied by the proportion of days on which (a) the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate is at least 0.99% and (b) the index’s closing level is greater than or equal to 65% of the initial index level. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the final index level is less than 50% of the initial level, in which case the payout will be par plus the index return with full exposure to losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
