New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $10 million more leveraged CMS curve, S&P notes

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., March 21 - Morgan Stanley priced another $10 million of fixed-to-floating leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked notes due March 31, 2034, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This brings the total deal size to $15 million. The initial $5 million of the notes priced on March 14.

The coupon will be fixed at 10% for the first four years. Beginning on March 31, 2018, it will be (a) 4 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate multiplied by (b) the proportion of days on which the index's closing level is greater than or equal to 50% of the initial level.

The interest rate will be subject to a floor of zero and a cap of 10% per year. Interest will be payable monthly.

If the index finishes at or above the 50% barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
