New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $6 million more CMS curve range accrual notes linked to indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 24 – Morgan Stanley priced another $6 million of CMS curve range accrual securities due Dec. 23, 2035 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the total deal size to $7 million, up from $1 million at pricing on Dec. 8.

As previously announced, the coupon is fixed at 8% for the first five years. After that, it will accrue 9% annualized for each day that the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate is greater than or equal to zero and each index closes at or above its index reference level, 65% of its initial level. Interest is payable monthly.

If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
