Morgan Stanley will get a $375 million breakup expense if E*Trade Financial Corp leaves its $13 billion deal for the discount brokerage, the U.S. bank said on Friday.
On Thursday, Morgan Stanley went into a deal to purchase E*Trade, the greatest obtaining by a significant Wall Street bank since the 2007-2009 financial emergency.
E*Trade has been the subject of M&A speculation for quite a while, particularly after Charles Schwab Corp said it would purchase TD Ameritrade Holding Corp a year ago.
If Morgan Stanley terminates the arrangement because of antitrust issues, E*Trade would get $525 million, Morgan Stanley said in an administrative filing.
The bank hopes to finish the deal by the final quarter, and administrators communicated certainty that it would meet administrative endorsements.
