We advised Morgan Stanley on its SEC-registered global offering
Davis Polk advised Morgan Stanley in connection with its SEC-registered global offering of £1 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating-rate senior notes due 2035. During the floating-rate period, the notes bear interest by reference to Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (SONIA), compounded daily over a backward-shifted observation period in respect of each quarterly interest payment period.
The Davis Polk corporate team included partner Christopher S. Schell, counsel Michael Steinberg and associates Timothy J. DiPrisco and Yongming Wu. The tax team included partner Lucy W. Farr, counsel David S. Fisher and associate Spencer Pan. Partner Gregory S. Rowland and counsel Sarah E. Kim and Leon E. Salkin provided 1940 Act advice.
