(Fixed/Floating Rate Notes) Page 4 Pricing Supplement No. 1735 Dated December 21, 1993 Rule 424(b)(3)-Registration Statement No. 33-58506 Interest will be payable in arrears on January 19 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing January 19, 1995, and on the Maturity Date. The "Interest Period" with respect to a Note is each successive period from and including an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note (or January 19, 1994 in the case of the first Interest Period) to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date. The "Interest Determination Date" is two Business Days (as defined below) preceding January 19, 1995. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, consisting of twelve 30 day months. In the event any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day other than a Business Day, no interest will accrue from such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. The interest rate shall be 6.00% per annum for the Interest Period from and including January 19, 1994 to but excluding the Interest Payment Date occurring on January 19, 1995. Thereafter, the interest rate for the remaining terms of the Notes will be fixed at the annualized equivalent of the per annum rate calculated by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) on the Interest Determination Date in accordance with the following formula: 29.25% - (4 * 5YRSR). In no event shall the interest rate be less than 0.00% per annum for any Interest Period. For the purposes of these Notes, the following terms shall have the following meanings: "5YRSR" means the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate, being the offered five year Sterling fixed swap rate versus 6-month LIBOR, quoted on a semi-annual actual/365 day basis (expressed as a percentage), which appears on Telerate Page 42279 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date; provided that, if on the Interest Determination Date the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate does not appear on the Telerate Page 42279 as aforesaid, the Calculation Agent will request each of five Reference Dealers (as defined below) to provide the Calculation Agent with its offer quotation (Fixed/Floating Rate Notes) Page 5 Pricing Supplement No. 1735 Dated December 21, 1993 Rule 424(b)(3)-Registration Statement No. 33-58506 for such rate as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date. The rate to be used in place of such 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate by the Calculation Agent shall be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations provided by the Reference Dealers in respect of such rate, provided at least two such Reference Dealers provide quotations in respect thereof. In the event that the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate does not appear on Telerate Page 42279 and less than two of the Reference Dealers are able to provide an offer quotation for any such rate, then the rate shall be the last available rate appearing on the Telerate Page 42279. "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close in New York, New York or London, England. "Reference Dealer" means any major bank or banking corporation selected in good faith by the Calculation Agent which will provide offered quotations on 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate. "Telerate Page 42279" means the display designated as "Page 42279" on the Dow Jones Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace such page on that service or such other service as may be nominated by the International Financing Review for the purpose of displaying Sterling floating swap rates). References herein to "GBP" or "sterling" are to the currency of the United Kingdom. References herein to "US$" or "dollars" are to the currency of the United States of America. "Calculation Agent" means Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. Interest on the Notes will be calculated on a 30/360 day basis. (Fixed/Floating Rate Notes) Page 6 Pricing Supplement No. 1735 Dated December 21, 1993 Rule 424(b)(3)-Registration Statement No. 33-58506 Historical Rate Information The following table sets forth certain historical information concerning the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate for the last Business Day of the months indicated below, together with a computation of the interest rate that would have applied to the Notes had the Notes reset on such date (the "Formula Rate"). Date 5YR Sterling Swap Rate Formula Rate (expressed as a percentage) Jan. 1990 12.940 0.000 Apr. 1990 14.160 0.000 July 1990 12.530 0.000 Oct. 1990 11.970 0.000 Jan. 1991 11.370 0.000 Apr. 1991 10.980 0.000 July 1991 10.730 0.000 Oct. 1991 10.180 0.000 Jan. 1992 9.870 0.000 Apr. 1992 9.640 0.000 July 1992 9.740 0.000 Oct. 1992 7.480 0.000 Jan. 1993 7.250 0.250 Apr. 1993 7.810 0.000 July 1993 6.900 1.650 Oct. 1993 6.520 3.170 Dec. 1993 5.860 5.810 Fluctuations in the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate and the Formula Rate that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations that may occur in the future, which fluctuation may be wider or more confined than those that have occurred historically. (Fixed/Floating Rate Notes) Page 7 Pricing Supplement No. 1735 Dated December 21, 1993 Rule 424(b)(3)-Registration Statement No. 33-58506 Certain Investment Considerations Investors should be aware that the Notes are inverse floating rate notes. If the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate increases from one Interest Period to another, the interest rate on the Notes will decrease for the corresponding Interest Period, including the possibility that no interest will be payable for the Interest Period. In addition, investors should be aware that the formula used to compute interest on the Notes contains a leverage factor which magnifies the effect of changes in the 5 Year Sterling Swap Rate. Investors should be aware that the amount of interest payable in respect of each Interest Period will be affected by the level of interest rates in Great Britain and the United States of America. Consequently, the related interest payments on the Notes might be subject to significant fluctuation related to, among other factors, political and economic factors affecting Great Britain and the United States, over which the Company has no control. Plan of Distribution Morgan Stanley International will act as Agent in connection with the sale of the Notes. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
