CONTINGENT INCOME AUTO CALLABLE SECURITIES Risk Factors An investment in the securities involves a variety of risks and potential conflicts of interest. The following are some of the material risks and potential conflicts related to the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section/s entitled “Risk Factors” in the offering documents for the offering. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors in connection with your investment in any offering. The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors or Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Risks relating to an investment in the securities • The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest and may pay no interest over the entire term of the securities. You will not receive any contingent coupon for any period where the value of the underlier on the related observation date is less than the coupon threshold level. • The contingent coupon with respect to an observation date, if any, is based solely on the value of the underlier on such observation date. • Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the value of the underlier. • The automatic early redemption feature may limit the term of your investment. If the securities are redeemed early, you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. • The issuer might not be the parent company of a group, but might instead be a subsidiary whose securities are guaranteed by its parent company, in which case you should understand the guarantee, the potential remedies available to you against the issuer and the guarantor and the potential claims (including their ranking) and recoveries available to you against the issuer and the guarantor in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. • The market price of the securities will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. • The securities are subject to the credit risk of the issuer (and the guarantor, if applicable), and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities. • Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlier. • The rate the issuer is willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by the issuer’s (or the guarantor’s, if applicable) secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to it. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices. • The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to pricing and valuation models of the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price. • The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. • The calculation agent, which may be an affiliate of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the securities. • Hedging and trading activity by the issuer’s affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities. Risk relating to the underlier • Adjustments to the underlier could adversely affect the value of the securities. MORGAN STANLEY | 2024 S - 2

 

 

Overview : Contingent income auto - callable securities offer an investor the opportunity to potentially earn above market, periodic coupons, but only if, on an observation date, the level of the underlying asset (the “underlier”) is greater than or equal to a specified threshold level . I n addition, the securities may be automatically redeemed prior to maturity based on the performance of the underlier. If the securities are not redeemed ea rly, investors will either receive the stated principal amount or suffer a loss of principal at maturity, depending on the performance of the und erl ier. Investors who seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above market rate, and who are comfortable with the risk of full potential principal loss and receiving few or no coupons over the term of the securities, and the possibility of an automatic early red emp tion prior to maturity, may consider investing in contingent income auto - callable securities. Investors will not participate in any positive a ppreciation of the underlier. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. All payments are subject to the credit risk of the issuer (and the guarantor, if applicable). The estimated value of the securities will be set forth in the offering documents. 3 Years MATURITY 8% (per annum) CONTINGENT COUPON RATE 100% of Initial Level of Underlier REDEMPTION THRESHOLD LEVEL 80% of Initial Level of Underlier COUPON THRESHOLD LEVEL 80% of Initial Level of Underlier DOWNSIDE THRESHOLD LEVEL Quarterly OBSERVATION FREQUENCY Hypothetical Terms Hypothetical Payoff Illustration (Assuming No Automatic Early Redemption) Periodic coupons (If any) Final coupon (If any) $0 to $100 Return at Maturity The example below is based on the hypothetical terms above in order to illustrate how the securities might work . It does not reflect any actual terms or all of the terms that will be specified in the offering documents for an offering, and it does not cover all possible scenarios . See “Risk Factors” above . The securities will pay periodic coupons, but only if, on an observation date, the level of the underlier is greater than or equal to the coupon threshold level . If the level of the underlier is less than the coupon threshold level on any observation date, the investor will NOT receive a coupon payment for that period . In addition, if the level of the underlier is greater than or equal to the redemption threshold level on any observation date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the stated principal amount and the contingent coupon with respect to the observation date . Once the securities are redeemed, the transaction is terminated and the investor is not entitled to any future payments on the securities . If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment at maturity will be either (i) if the final level of the underlier is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the stated principal amount and the final contingent coupon, or (ii) if the final level of the underlier is less than the downside threshold level, a payment the value of which is less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the decline of the underlier from the initial level of the underlier . In this case, the payment at maturity will be worth significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities, and could be worth zero, and the investor is fully exposed to the negative performance of the underlier over the term . Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlier . It is possible that an investment in the securities will underperform a direct underlier investment . (Final coupon, if any, plus a final payment amount that can vary from $0 to $100) Final coupon (if any) + Investors are exposed to a full loss of their original investment. Depending upon the actual offering and subject to the specified conditions, investors, in limited circumstances, may receive their initial investment.
