New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $8 million leveraged CMS curve, Russell 2000-linked notes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Jan. 14 – Morgan Stanley priced $8 million of fixed-to-floating leveraged CMS curve and Russell 2000 index-linked notes due Jan. 30, 2035, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be fixed at 10% initially. Beginning July 30, 2017, it will accrue at 5 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate for each day that the index closes at or above the 65% reference level, up to a cap of 10%. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the index finishes below the 50% barrier level, in which case the payout will be par plus the index return with full exposure to any losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
