New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $6 million more leveraged CMS curve notes tied to indexes

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Aug. 31 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $6 million of additional leveraged CMS curve securities due Aug. 31, 2036 linked to the worse 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 issue size to $16 million. The initial $10 million of notes priced on Aug. 12.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The coupon will be fixed at 9% for the first three years. After that, it will accrue at 20 times the spread of the 30-year ICE swap rate over the two-year ICE swap rate for each day that each index closes at or above its 70% reference level, up to a maximum rate of 9% per year. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 50% barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
