New Issue: Morgan Stanley prices $1 million more CMS curve range accrual notes linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 29 – Morgan Stanley priced an additional $1 million of CMS curve range accrual securities due Feb. 29, 2035 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 $2 million. The initial $1 million principal amount priced Feb. 9.

The interest rate is 8% per year for the first five years. Beginning Feb. 28, 2021, the interest rate will be 9% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which 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 the decline of the worse-performing index.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the agent.
