New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $5 million leveraged fixed-to-floaters on CMS rates, two indexes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., May 6 – Morgan Stanley priced $5 million of leveraged fixed-to-floating notes due May 29, 2030 linked to the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate, the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate is 10% for the first two years. After that, it will accrue 10 times the spread of the 30-year CMS rate over the two-year CMS rate, subject to a minimum rate of zero and a maximum rate of 10% per year, for each day that each index closes at or above its index reference level, 60% of its initial level. Interest will be payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par if each index finishes at or above its barrier level, 50% of its initial level. Otherwise, the payout will be par plus the return of the worst-performing index, with full exposure to losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
