Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley 

§ Linked to an unequally weighted basket composed of the EURO STOXX 50^® Index (30.00% weighting), the Tokyo Stock Price Index (20.00% weighting), the FTSE^® 100 Index (15.00% weighting), the S&P^®/ASX 200 Index (15.00% weighting) and the iShares^® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (20.00% weighting) (each referred to as a “basket component”)

§ The securities offered are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities will pay no interest, provide for a payment at maturity that may be significantly less than the face amount and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document.  At maturity:

§ If the level of the basket has increased, investors will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to at least 163% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the percentage increase in the level of the basket from the starting level

§ If the level of the basket has decreased, but the basket has not decreased by more than 30%, investors will receive the face amount

§ If the level of the basket has decreased by more than 30%, investors will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the basket from the starting level, and investors will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the face amount

§ Investors may lose a significant portion, or all, of the face amount of the securities

§ These long-dated securities are for investors who seek an equity-based return and who are willing to risk their investment and forgo current income in exchange for the participation rate that applies to a limited range of performance of the basket

§ The securities are notes issued as part of MSFL’s Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program

§ All payments are subject to our credit risk.  If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment

§ These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access to, any securities included in the basket components

The current estimated value of the securities is approximately $913.80 per security, or within $13.80 of that estimate.  The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the basket components, instruments based on the basket components, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” on page 4.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary debt securities.  See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11.  All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk.

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

Estimated Value of the Securities

The face amount of each security is $1,000.  This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than $1,000 per security.  We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $913.80, or within $13.80 of that estimate.  Our estimate of the value of the securities as determined on the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the basket components.  The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the basket components, instruments based on the basket components, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

What determines the economic terms of the securities?

In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the participation rate and the threshold level, we use an internal funding rate which is likely to be lower than our secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us.  If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the basket components, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors.  However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the basket components, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value.  We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Investor Considerations

The Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 (the “securities”) can be used:

§ As an alternative to direct exposure to the Basket that enhances returns for any positive performance of the Basket

§ To enhance returns and potentially outperform the Basket in a bullish scenario

§ To achieve similar levels of upside exposure to the basket components as a direct investment while using fewer dollars by taking advantage of the participation rate

The securities are not designed for, and may not be an appropriate investment for, investors who:

§ Seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity

§ Are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Basket may decrease by more than 30% from the starting level, resulting in a loss of a significant portion or all of the initial investment

§ Seek full return of the face amount of the securities at maturity

§ Seek current income from their investments

§ Seek exposure to the Basket but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the payment at maturity for the securities

§ Are unwilling to accept our credit risk

§ Prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Risk Factors” herein and in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Basket and the basket components, please see the information provided herein.

Scenario Analysis and Examples of Maturity Payment Amount at Maturity

The following scenario analysis and examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical.  They do not purport to be representative of every possible scenario concerning increases or decreases in the level of the Basket relative to the starting level.  We cannot predict the ending level on the calculation day.  You should not take the scenario analysis and these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the basket components. The numbers appearing in the examples below may have been rounded for ease of analysis.  The following scenario analysis and examples illustrate the payment at maturity on a hypothetical offering of the securities, based on the following terms*:

Investment term:	Approximately 5.5 years
Starting level:	100.00
Threshold level:	70.00 (70% of the starting level)
Hypothetical initial component level:	With respect to the SX5E Index, the TPX Index, the UKX Index and the AS51 Index, 100.00
	With respect to the EEM Shares, $100.00
Hypothetical participation rate:	163%

^* The hypothetical initial component level for each basket component has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the initial component level of any basket component.  The actual initial component level for each basket component and participation rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms” above.  For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the basket components, see the historical information set forth herein.

Example 1—The level of the Basket increases from a starting level of 100.00 to an ending level of 130.00.  

Hypothetical final component level:	SX5E Index: 130
	TPX Index: 150
	UKX Index: 110
	AS51 Index: 110
	EEM Shares: $140
Hypothetical component return:	SX5E Index: (130 – 100) / 100 = 30% TPX Index: (150 – 100) / 100 = 50% UKX Index: (110 – 100) / 100 = 10% AS51 Index: (110 – 100) / 100 = 10% EEM Shares: ($140 – $100) / $100 = 40%

Based on the hypothetical component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (30.00% × 30.00%) + (50.00% × 20.00%) + (10.00% × 15.00%) + (10.00% × 15.00%) + (40.00% × 20.00%)] = 130.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount would equal $1,000 plus:

1,000 × basket return × participation rate

$1,000 × 30% × 163%

= $489.00

On the maturity date, you would receive the maturity payment amount equal to $1,489.00 per $1,000 face amount of securities, resulting in a total return on the securities of 48.90%.

Example 2—The level of the Basket decreases from a starting level of 100.00 to an ending level of 95.00.  

Hypothetical final component level:	SX5E Index: 55
	TPX Index: 110

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

	UKX Index: 120
	AS51 Index: 110
	EEM Shares: $110
Hypothetical component return:	SX5E Index: (55 – 100) / 100 = -45% TPX Index: (110 – 100) / 100 = 10% UKX Index: (120 – 100) / 100 = 20% AS51 Index: (110 – 100) / 100 = 10% EEM Shares: ($110 – $100) / $100 = 10%

Based on the hypothetical component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (-45.00% × 30.00%) + (10.00% × 20.00%) + (20.00% × 15.00%) + (10.00% × 15.00%) + (10.00% × 20.00%)] = 95.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than or equal to the starting level but greater than or equal to the threshold level, the maturity payment amount would equal:

$1,000

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than or equal to the starting level but greater than or equal to the threshold level, you would receive the maturity payment amount equal to $1,000 per $1,000 face amount of securities, resulting in a total return on the securities of 0%. In this example, the 45.00 decrease in the level of the SX5E Index has a significant impact on the ending level of the Basket notwithstanding the percentage increases in the other basket components due to the weighting of the SX5E Index.

Example 3—The level of the Basket decreases from a starting level of 100.00 to an ending level of 45.00.  

Hypothetical final component level:	SX5E Index: 60 TPX Index: 50
	UKX Index: 50
	AS51 Index: 50
	EEM Shares: $10
Hypothetical component return:	SX5E Index: (60 – 100) / 100 = -40% TPX Index: (50 – 100) / 100 = -50% UKX Index: (50 – 100) / 100 = -50% AS51 Index: (50 – 100) / 100 = -50% EEM Shares: ($10 – $100) / $100 = -90%

Based on the hypothetical component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:

100 × [1 + (-40.00% × 30.00%) + (-50.00% × 20.00%) + (-50.00% × 15.00%) + (-50.00% × 15.00%) + (-90.00% × 20.00%)] = 45.00

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the starting level by more than 30%, you would lose a significant portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (basket return)]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-55%)]

= $450.00

Because the ending level is below the threshold level on the calculation day, the securities will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to any decline in the level of the Basket.  Therefore, the maturity payment amount is equal to $450.00 per $1,000 face amount of securities, resulting in a total loss on the securities of 45%.

If the ending level is below the threshold level on the calculation day, the securities will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to any decline in the level of the Basket.  You may lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at maturity.

Risk Factors

This section describes the material risks relating to the securities.  For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities, index supplement and prospectus.  We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities

§ The securities do not pay interest, and you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at maturity if the ending level is less than the threshold level.  The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of the face amount of the securities.  If the ending level is less than the threshold level, which is 70% of the starting level, you will lose more than 30% , and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at maturity. Investors may lose their entire investment in the securities.

§ The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.  Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. or any other dealer may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market, including the level, volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in level) and dividend yield of the basket components, interest and yield rates in the market, time remaining to maturity, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the basket components or equities markets generally and which may affect the ending level, the occurrence of certain events affecting the Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor, and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.  Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the other factors described above.  The levels of the basket components may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen.  See “EURO STOXX 50^® Index Overview,” “Tokyo Stock Price Index Overview,” “FTSE^® 100 Index Overview,” “S&P^®/ASX 200 Index Overview” and “iShares^® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF Overview” below.  You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount per security if you try to sell your securities prior to maturity.

§ The securities are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities.  You are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity, and therefore you are subject to our credit risk.  If we default on our obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment.  As a result, the market value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness.  Any actual or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities.

§ As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.  As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of such securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding.  Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of securities issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.

§ The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the value of the Basket at any time other than the calculation day.  The ending level will be based on the level of the Basket on the calculation day, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events.  Even if the level of the Basket increases prior to the calculation day but then decreases by the calculation day, the maturity payment amount will be less, and may be significantly less, than it would have been had the maturity payment amount been linked to the level of the Basket prior to such decrease.  Although the actual level of the Basket on the maturity date or at other times during the term of the

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

securities may be higher than the ending level, the maturity payment amount will be based solely on the level of the Basket on the calculation day.

§ Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket components.  Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket components or any of the component stocks of the basket components.  Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the basket components or any of the component stocks of the basket components.

§ The rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us.  Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the face amount reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the face amount and will adversely affect secondary market prices.  Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., may be willing to purchase the securities in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the face amount, because secondary market prices will exclude the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the face amount and borne by you and because the secondary market prices will reflect our secondary market credit spreads and the bid-offer spread that any dealer would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type as well as other factors.

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the face amount and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the securities less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the basket components, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

§ The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price.  These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part on subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.  As a result, because there is no market-standard way to value these types of securities, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the securities than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the securities.  In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time.  The value of your securities at any time after the date of this document will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions.  See also “The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.

§ The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.  The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.  Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities.  MS & Co. and WFS may, but are not obligated to, make a market in the securities and, if either of them once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.  When they do make a market, they will generally do so for transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on their respective estimates of the current value of the securities, taking into account their respective bid/offer spreads, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding any related hedging positions, the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that they will be able to resell the securities.  Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily.  Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. or WFS is willing to transact.  If, at any time, MS & Co. and WFS were to cease making a market in the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities.  Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.

§ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the securities.  As calculation agent, MS & Co. will determine the initial component levels, the starting level, the threshold level and the ending level and will calculate the amount of cash you receive at maturity, if any.  Moreover, certain determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the ending level in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of the relevant basket component.  These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity, if any.  For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “General Terms of the Securities—Market Disruption Events,” “—Adjustments to an Index,” “—Discontinuance of an Index,” “—Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating to a Fund; Alternate Calculation,” “—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day” and “Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default”  in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities.  In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.

§ Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities.  One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers expect to carry out hedging activities related to the securities (and possibly to other instruments linked to the basket components or component stocks of the Indices or fund underlying index), including trading in the shares of the Fund or the stocks that constitute the Indices or the fund underlying index as well as in other instruments related to the basket components.  As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the calculation day approaches.  Some of our affiliates also trade the shares of the Fund or the stocks that constitute the Indices or fund underlying index and other financial instruments related to the basket components on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses.  Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial basket levels, and, therefore, could increase the levels at or above which the basket components must close on the calculation day so that investors do not suffer a significant loss on their initial investment in the securities.  Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the calculation day, could adversely affect the final component levels, and therefore, the ending level, and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity, if any.

§ The maturity date may be postponed if the calculation day is postponed.  If the scheduled calculation day is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the calculation day is postponed and falls less than three business days prior to the maturity date, the maturity date of the securities will be postponed to the third business day following that calculation day as postponed.

§ Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by Morgan Stanley, MSFL, WFS or our or their respective affiliates.  Morgan Stanley, MSFL, WFS and our or their respective affiliates may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities.  Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Morgan Stanley, MSFL, WFS or our or their respective affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the securities and the basket components to which the securities are linked.

§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.  Please read the discussion under “Additional Information About the Securities—Tax considerations” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities (together, the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities.  As discussed in the Tax Disclosure Sections, there is a risk that the “constructive ownership” rule could apply, in which case all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder could be recharacterized as ordinary income and an interest charge could be imposed.  In addition, there is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).  Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment of a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative

June 2024 Page 13

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. Holders and the withholding tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders, might be materially and adversely affected.  Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, possibly retroactively.  

Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Risks Relating to the Basket

§ Changes in the levels of the basket components may offset each other.  Level movements in the basket components may not correlate with each other.  At a time when the levels of one or more basket components increase, the values of the other basket components may not increase as much, or may even decline.  Therefore, in calculating the basket components’ performance on the calculation day, increases in the levels of one or more basket components may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or declines in the levels of other basket components.  

§ The basket components are not equally weighted. The securities are linked to a basket of five basket components, and the basket components have significantly different weights in determining the value of the basket. The same percentage change in each of the basket components would therefore have different effects on the ending level because of the unequal weighting. For example, if the weighting of one basket component is greater than the weighting of another basket component, a 5% decrease in the level of the basket component with the greater weighting will have a greater impact on the ending level than a 5% increase in the level of the basket component with the lesser weighting.

§ There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign (and especially emerging markets) equity securities. The securities are linked to the value of foreign equity securities and the EEM Shares track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which is linked to the value of foreign (and especially emerging markets) equity securities. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities issued in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. In addition, the stocks included in the fund underlying index and that are generally tracked by the EEM Shares have been issued by companies in various emerging markets countries, which pose further risks in addition to the risks associated with investing in foreign equity markets generally.  Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries.  The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions between countries.

§ The prices of the EEM Shares are subject to currency exchange risk.  Because the prices of the EEM Shares are related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the fund underlying index, holders of the securities will be exposed to the currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such component stocks trade.  Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as the relevant government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the relevant region.  An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component stocks strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of

June 2024 Page 14

 Morgan Stanley Finance LLC

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

each currency.  If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component stocks represented in the fund underlying index, the price of the EEM Shares will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the securities may be reduced.

Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:

o existing and expected rates of inflation;

o existing and expected interest rate levels;

o the balance of payments between countries; and

o the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the relevant countries and the United States.

All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various countries represented in the fund underlying index, the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

§ Adjustments to the Indices could adversely affect the value of the securities.  The publisher of each Index may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting such Index or make other methodological changes that could change the level of the Index.  The publisher of each Index may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of such Index at any time.  In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued Index and is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.  If the calculation agent determines that there is no appropriate successor index for such Index, the maturity payment amount on the securities will be an amount based on the closing prices at maturity of the securities composing such Index at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation agent in accordance with the formula for calculating such Index last in effect prior to discontinuance of such Index.

You should also note that JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (“JPXI”) recently implemented methodology changes to the TOPIX^® Index that are being carried out in stages through January 2025. Among other things, this means that, with respect to the TOPIX^® Index, limited historical Index performance information is available incorporating the changes that have been carried out to date. Specifically, prior to April 4, 2022, the component stocks of the TOPIX^® Index consisted of all domestic common stocks listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the “TSE”). On April 4, 2022, JPXI began revisions to the TOPIX^® Index in conjunction with the restructuring of the TSE into three new market segments: the Prime Market, the Standard Market and the Growth Market. Stocks that were components of the TOPIX^® Index as of April 1, 2022 continue to be included after the market restructuring, regardless of their new market segment. However, component stocks with tradeable share market capitalization of under JPY 10 billion are designated as “phased weighting reduction constituents,” and their weighting will be gradually reduced in ten stages on the last business day of each quarter beginning in October 2022 and ending in January 2025. Subject to a re-evaluation after the fourth stage, they will be removed from the TOPIX^® Index on the last business day of January 2025. Because revisions to the composition of the TOPIX^® Index are being carried out in several stages over a period of approximately 2.25 years, historical performance of the Index that reflects all of the currently contemplated changes will not be available until the final stage of revisions is implemented in January 2025. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount per security if you are able to sell your securities prior to maturity.

§ Adjustments to the Fund or to the fund underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities.  The investment adviser to the EEM Shares, BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Investment Adviser”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the fund underlying index.  Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Adviser may add, delete or substitute the components securities of the Fund.  Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the shares of the Fund and, consequently, the value of the securities.  In addition, the fund underlying index sponsor of the Fund is responsible for calculating and maintaining the fund underlying index.  The fund underlying index sponsor may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the fund underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the shares of the Fund.  The fund underlying index sponsor may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of a fund underlying index at any time.  If this discontinuance or suspension occurs following the termination of the Fund, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is

June 2024 Page 15

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

comparable to the discontinued fund underlying index, and is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.  Any of these actions could adversely affect the values of the shares of the Fund and, consequently, the value of the securities.

§ The performance and market price of the Fund, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the performance of the fund underlying index, the performance of the component stocks of the fund underlying index or the net asset value per share of the Fund. The Fund does not fully replicate the fund underlying index, and may hold securities that are different than those included in the fund underlying index.  In addition, the performance of the Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the fund underlying index.  All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Fund and the fund underlying index.  In addition, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs) with respect to the equity securities constituting the shares of the Fund may impact the variance between the performance of the Fund and the fund underlying index.  Finally, because the shares of the Fund are traded on an exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market price of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund.

In particular, during periods of market volatility, or unusual trading activity, trading in the securities constituting the Fund may be disrupted or limited, or such securities may be unavailable in the secondary market.  Under these circumstances, the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely affected, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund, and their ability to create and redeem shares of the Fund may be disrupted. Under these circumstances, the market price of shares of the Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of Fund or the level of the fund underlying index.

For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the performance of the fund underlying index, the performance of the component stocks of the fund underlying index or the net asset value per share of the Fund.  Any of these events could materially and adversely affect the prices of the shares of the Fund and, therefore, the value of the securities.  Additionally, if market volatility or these events were to occur on the calculation day, the calculation agent would maintain discretion to determine whether such market volatility or events have caused a market disruption event to occur, and such determination would affect the payment at maturity of the securities.  If the calculation agent determines that no market disruption event has taken place, the payment at maturity would be based solely on the published closing price per share of the Fund on the calculation day, even if any of the shares of the Fund is underperforming the fund underlying index or the component stocks of the fund underlying index and/or trading below the net asset value per share of the Fund.

§ The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the Fund.  MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for certain events affecting the Fund.  However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect the Fund.  If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, the market price of the securities may be materially and adversely affected.

§ Historical levels of the basket components should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the basket components during the term of the securities.  No assurance can be given as to the level of the basket components at any time, including on the calculation day, because historical levels of the basket components do not provide an indication of future performance of the basket components.

Basket Overview

The Basket will represent a portfolio of the following five basket components, with the return of each basket component having the weighting noted parenthetically:  EURO STOXX 50^® Index (30.00%), the Tokyo Stock Price Index (20.00%), the FTSE^® 100 Index (15.00%), the S&P^®/ASX 200 Index (15.00%) and the iShares^® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (20.00%). The level of the Basket will increase or decrease depending upon the aggregate performance of the basket components.  For more information regarding the basket components, see “EURO STOXX 50^® Index Overview,” “Tokyo Stock Price Index Overview,” “FTSE^® 100 Index Overview,” “S&P^®/ASX 200 Index Overview” and “iShares^® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF Overview.” The Basket does not reflect the performance of all major securities markets.

While historical information on the level of the Basket does not exist, the following graph sets forth the hypothetical historical daily levels of the Basket for the period from January 1, 2019 to June 17, 2024, assuming that the Basket was constructed on January 1, 2019 with a starting level of 100 and that each of the basket components had the applicable weighting as of such day. We obtained the closing levels and other information used by us in order to create the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) without independent verification.

The hypothetical historical basket levels, as calculated solely for the purposes of the offering of the securities, fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the levels of the Basket during any period shown below is not an indication that the percentage change in the level of the Basket is more likely to be positive or negative during the term of the securities.  The hypothetical historical levels do not give an indication of future levels of the Basket.

There can be no assurance that the performance of the Basket will not result in a loss of the principal amount of the securities.

Tokyo Stock Price Index Overview

The Tokyo Stock Price Index, which we also refer to as the TOPIX^® Index, is published by JPXI. The TOPIX^® Index was developed by the TSE. Publication of the TOPIX^® Index began on July 1, 1969, based on a base index value of 100 as of January 4, 1968. Prior to April 4, 2022, the TSE domestic stock market was divided into two sections: the First Section and the Second Section. Listings of stocks on the TSE were divided between these two sections, with stocks listed on the First Section typically being limited to larger, longer-established and more actively traded issues and the Second Section to smaller and newly listed companies. At that time, the component stocks of the TOPIX^® Index consisted of all domestic common stocks listed on the First Section of the TSE. On April 4, 2022, JPXI began revisions to the TOPIX^® Index in conjunction with the restructuring of the TSE into three new market segments: the Prime Market, the Standard Market and the Growth Market. Stocks that were components of the TOPIX^® Index as of April 1, 2022 continue to be included after the market restructuring, regardless of their new market segment. However, component stocks with tradeable share market capitalization of under JPY 10 billion are designated as “phased weighting reduction constituents,” and their weighting will be gradually reduced in ten stages on the last business day of each quarter beginning in October 2022 and ending in January 2025. Subject to a re-evaluation after the fourth stage, they will be removed from the TOPIX^® Index on the last business day of January 2025. The TOPIX^® Index is computed and published every second via the Market Information System, and is reported to securities companies, news media, and other institutions across Japan. For additional information about the TOPIX^® Index, see the information set forth under “Tokyo Stock Price Index” in the accompanying index supplement.

The following graph sets forth the daily closing levels of the TPX Index for the period from January 1, 2019 through June 17, 2024. The closing level of the TPX Index on June 17, 2024 was 2,700.01.  We obtained the information in the graph and table below from Bloomberg Financial Markets without independent verification.  The TPX Index has at times experienced periods of high volatility.  You should not take the historical levels of the TPX Index as an indication of its future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the TPX Index on the calculation day.

FTSE^® 100 Index Overview

The FTSE^® 100 Index, which is calculated, published and disseminated by FTSE Russell, is a free-float-adjusted index which measures the composite price performance of stocks of the largest 100 companies (determined on the basis of market capitalization) traded on the London Stock Exchange. The 100 stocks included in the FTSE^® 100 Index (the “FTSE Underlying Stocks”) are selected from a reference group of stocks trading on the London Stock Exchange which are in turn selected by excluding certain stocks that have low liquidity based on public float, accuracy and reliability of prices, size and number of trading days. The FTSE Underlying Stocks are selected from this reference group by selecting 100 stocks with the largest market value. For additional information about the FTSE^® 100 Index, see the information set forth under “FTSE^® 100 Index” in the accompanying index supplement.

Tax considerations

Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  However, because our counsel’s opinion is based in part on market conditions as of the date of this document, it is subject to confirmation on the pricing date.  

Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result based on current law:

§ A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities prior to settlement, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.  

§ Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, a U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the securities.  Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule, such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the securities for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise.

Because the securities are linked to shares of an exchange-traded fund, although the matter is not clear, there is a risk that an investment in the securities will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” under Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  If this treatment applies, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain of the U.S. Holder in respect of the securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income (in which case an interest charge will be imposed).  As a result of certain features of the securities, including the leveraged upside payment and the fact that the securities are linked to indices in addition to an exchange-traded fund, it is unclear how to calculate the amount of gain that would be recharacterized if an investment in the securities were treated as a constructive ownership transaction.  Due to the lack of governing authority, our counsel is unable to opine as to whether or how Section 1260 of the Code applies to the securities.  U.S. investors should read the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Possible Application of Section 1260 of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities for additional information and consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the treatment of the securities.  An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized.  In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance.  Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts.  Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

As discussed in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities, Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities (each, an “Underlying Security”).  Subject to certain exceptions, Section 871(m) generally applies to securities that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations (a “Specified Security”).  However, pursuant to an IRS notice, Section 871(m) will not apply to securities issued before January 1, 2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security.  Based on the terms of the securities and current market conditions, we expect that the securities will not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security on the pricing date.  However, we will provide an updated determination in the final pricing supplement.  Assuming that the securities do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security, our counsel is of the opinion that the securities should not be Specified Securities and, therefore, should not be subject to Section 871(m).

Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.  Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security.  If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to a Basket of Four Indices and One ETF due January 8, 2030 

respect to the amounts so withheld.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the securities should read the discussion under “Risk Factors” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership rule, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.  

The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under “Tax considerations” and the discussion contained in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities, insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities.

Additional considerations

Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly.
