By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., July 18 - Morgan Stanley priced $4 million of leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked notes due July 29, 2026, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The issuer said it may increase the deal size prior to the issue date.

The leverage factor will equal four from July 29, 2012 up to July 29, 2016, five from July 29, 2016 up to July 29, 2021 and seven from July 29, 2021 to maturity.
