Risk Considerations

The risks set forth below are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary terms. Please review those risk factors carefully prior to making an investment decision.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Notes

●The notes do not pay interest and may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity.

●The appreciation potential of the notes is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.

●The market price of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

●The notes 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 notes.

●As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.

●The estimated value of the notes is approximately $968.90 per note, or within $35.00 of that estimate, and 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.

●The amount payable on the notes is not linked to the value of the underlying index at any time other than the determination date.

●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 notes in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the notes, cause the estimated value of the notes to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices.

●Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index.

●The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.

●The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the notes.

●Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes.

Risks Relating to the Underlying Index

●Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the notes.

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the discussion in the accompanying preliminary terms under the caption “Additional Information About the Notes –Tax considerations” concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, and you should consult your tax adviser.
