New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $4 million more leveraged CMS curve, Russell-linked notes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Dec. 5 – Morgan Stanley priced an additional $4 million of fixed-to-floating leveraged CMS curve and Russell 2000 index-linked notes due Nov. 28, 2034, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the total issue size to $5 million. The initial $1 million principal amount priced on Nov. 4.

The coupon will be fixed at 8% for the first year. Beginning Nov. 28, 2015, it will be seven 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 60% index reference level, subject to a maximum coupon of 11% per year. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

If the final index level is at or above the barrier level, 50% of the initial index level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the index’s decline from its initial level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management as dealer.
