New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $13 million more leveraged CMS curve notes linked to Russell, S&P

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 29 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $13 million of additional leveraged CMS curve securities due Nov. 29, 2036 linked to the worse performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The issuer priced $5 million of the notes on Nov. 1. The issue size is now $18 million.

The interest rate is 9% for the first three years. Beginning Nov. 29, 2019, it will be 20 times the spread of the 30-year ICE swap rate over the two-year ICE swap rate, subject to a minimum of zero and a maximum of 9% per year, multiplied by the proportion of days on which each index closes at or above its index reference level, 70% 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 the decline of the worse-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
