Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund, the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due March 18, 2025

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley

Principal at Risk Securities

The Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities, which we refer to as the securities, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. The securities pay no interest and will instead pay an amount in cash at maturity that may be greater than or less than the stated principal amount, depending on the closing level of each underlying on the valuation date. If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 75% of its respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective digital threshold value, you will receive a digital payment of at least $115 per security (to be determined on the pricing date) for each security that you hold at maturity. If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security that you hold at maturity plus the digital payment. However, if the final level of any underlying is lessthan its respective downside threshold value,you will be exposed to the decline in the level of the worst performing underlying beyond the buffer amount of 10%, and you will lose some or a significant portion of your initial investment. The payment at maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount, and you could lose up to 90% of your investment. Because the payment at maturity on the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline in any final level below 90% of its respective initial level will result in a loss on your investment, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. The securities are for investors who seek an equity-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of three underlyings and forgo current income and returns above the fixed digital payment in exchange for the digital payment and buffer features that in each case apply to a limited range of performance of the worst performing underlying. 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 underlying reference asset or assets.

Investment Summary

Principal at Risk Securities

The Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund, the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due March 18, 2025 (the “securities”) can be used:

￭As an alternative to direct exposure to the underlyings that provides a fixed return of at least 11.50% (to be determined on the pricing date) if the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective digital threshold value;

￭To enhance returns and potentially outperform the worst performing of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund, the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index in a moderately bullish or moderately bearish scenario; and

￭To obtain a buffer against a specified level of negative performance in the worst performing underlying.

The securities are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the percentage decline of the final level of the worst performing underlying from its respective initial level beyond the buffer amount of 10%. Accordingly, 90% of your principal is at risk.

Maturity:	Approximately 13 months
Digital payment:	At least $115 per security (11.50% of the stated principal amount), payable only if the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective digital threshold value. The actual digital payment will be determined on the pricing date.
Downside threshold value:	For each underlying, 90% of the respective initial level
Digital threshold value:	For each underlying, 75% of the respective initial level
Buffer level:	10%
Minimum payment at maturity:	$100 per security. You could lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the securities.
Interest:	None

The original issue price 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. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $986.10, or within $25.00 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 underlyings. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlyings, instruments based on the underlyings, 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 digital payment, the downside threshold values and the digital threshold values, 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 underlyings, 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 underlyings,

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.

Principal at Risk Securities

Key Investment Rationale

The securities provide a return based on the performance of the worst performing of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index. If the final level of each underlying, as determined on the valuation date, is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security that you hold at maturity plus the digital payment of at least $115 per security. The actual digital payment will be determined on the pricing date. However, if the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold value, the payment due at maturity will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the securities. You could lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the securities.

Upside Scenario

If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, the payment at maturity for each security will be equal to $1,000 plus the digital payment of at least $115 per security. The actual digital payment will be determined on the pricing date.

Downside Scenario

If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold value, you will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying from its respective initial level beyond the buffer amount of 10% (e.g., a 50% depreciation in the worst performing underlying from the respective initial level to the respective final level will result in a payment at maturity of $600 per security). Investors may receive the digital payment but only if the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to the respective digital threshold value. Because the payment at maturity of the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline in any underlying below its respective downside threshold value will result in a loss on your investment, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. You could lose up to 90% of your investment.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity on the securities. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. The payment at maturity on the securities is subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the following terms. The actual initial levels, downside threshold values and digital threshold values are set forth on the cover of this document.

Stated Principal Amount:	$1,000 per security
Hypothetical Initial Level:	With respect to the XLU Shares: $60.00 With respect to the SPX Index: 3,200 With respect to the RTY Index: 1,600
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Value:	With respect to the XLU Shares: $54.00, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the SPX Index: 2,880, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the RTY Index: 1,440, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial level
Hypothetical Digital Threshold Value:	With respect to the XLU Shares: $45.00, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the SPX Index: 2,400, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the RTY Index: 1,200, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial level
Hypothetical Digital Payment:	$115 per security (11.50% of the stated principal amount). The actual digital payment will be determined on the pricing date.
Buffer Amount:	10%
Minimum Payment at Maturity:	$100 per security
Interest:	None

EXAMPLE 1: Each underlying appreciates substantially, and investors therefore receive the stated principal amount plus the digital payment.

Final level		XLU Shares: $111.00 SPX Index: 5,760 RTY Index: 3,040
Percent change		XLU Shares: ($111.00 – $60.00) / $60.00 = 85% SPX Index: (5,760 – 3,200) / 3,200 = 80% RTY Index: (3,040 – 1,600) / 1,600 = 90%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 + digital payment
	=	$1,000 + $115
	=	$1,115

In example 1, the final level for the XLU Shares has increased from its initial level by 85%, the final level for the SPX Index has increased from its initial level by 80% and the final level for the RTY Index has increased from its initial level by 90%. Because the final level of each underlying is above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the digital payment of $115 per security. Investors receive $1,115 per security at maturity and do not participate in the appreciation of any underlying. Although each underlying has appreciated substantially, the return on the securities is limited to the digital payment of $115 per security.

EXAMPLE 2: The final level of each underlying is at or above the respective downside threshold value, and investors therefore receive the stated principal amount plus the digital payment.

Final level		XLU Shares: $57.60 SPX Index: 3,104
		RTY Index: 1,568
Percent change		XLU Shares: ($57.60 – $60.00) / $60.00 = -4% SPX Index: (3,104 – 3,200) / 3,200 = -3% RTY Index: (1,568 – 1,600) / 1,600 = -2%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 + digital payment
	=	$1,000 + $115
	=	$1,115

In example 2, the final level for the XLU Shares has decreased from its initial level by 4%, the final level for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial level by 3% and the final level for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial level by 2%. Because the final level of each underlying is above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the digital payment of $115 per security. Although each underlying has depreciated, investors receive $1,115 per security at maturity.

EXAMPLE 3: The final level of each underlying is below its respective downside threshold value but above its respective digital threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying, and lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond the buffer amount of 10%, but will receive the digital payment.

Final level		XLU Shares: $54.00 SPX Index: 2,720 RTY Index: 1,280
Percent change		XLU Shares: ($54.00 – $60.00) / $60.00 = -10% SPX Index: (2,720 – 3,200) / 3,200 = -15% RTY Index: (1,280 – 1,600) / 1,600 = -20%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 x [$1,000 × (underlying percent change of the worst performing underlying + 10%)] + digital payment
	=	$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-20% + 10%)] + $115
	=	$1,015

In example 3, the final level for the XLU Index has decreased from its initial level by 10%, the final level for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial level by 15% and the final level for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial level by 20%. Because one or more underlyings have declined below their respective downside threshold values, investors are exposed to the negative performance of the RTY Index, which is the worst performing underlying in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying beyond the buffer amount of 10%. However, because each underlying is at or above its respective digital threshold value, investors receive the digital payment at maturity of $115 per security. Although each underlying has depreciated, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $1,015 per security.

EXAMPLE 4: The final level of one of the underlyings is less than its respective downside threshold value and digital threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying, and lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond the buffer amount of 10%.

Final level		XLU Shares: $84.00 SPX Index: 3,840 RTY Index: 800
Percent change		XLU Shares: ($84.00 – $60.00) / $60.00 = 40% SPX Index: (3,840 – 3,200) / 3,200 = 20% RTY Index: (800 – 1,600) / 1,600 = -50%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 + [$1,000 × (underlying percent change of the worst performing underlying + 10%)]
	=	$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50% + 10%)]
	=	$600

In example 4, the final level for the XLU Shares has increased from its initial level by 40%, the final level for the SPX Index has increased from its initial level by 20% and the final level for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial level by 50%. Because one of the underlyings has declined below both its respective downside threshold value and digital threshold value, investors do not receive the digital payment and are exposed to the negative performance of the RTY Index, which is the worst performing underlying in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying beyond the buffer amount of 10%. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $600 per security, resulting in a loss of 40%.

EXAMPLE 5: The final level of each underlying is less than the respective downside threshold value and digital threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying, and will lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond the buffer amount of 10%.

Final level		XLU Shares: $18.00 SPX Index: 480 RTY Index: 640
Percent change		XLU Shares: ($18.00 – $60.00) / $60.00 = -70% SPX Index: (480 – 3,200) / 3,200 = -85% RTY Index: (640 – 1,600) / 1,600 = -60%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 + [$1,000 × (underlying percent change of the worst performing underlying + 10%)]
	=	$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-85% + 10%)]
	=	$250

In example 5, the final level for the XLU Shares has decreased from its initial level by 70%, the final level for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial level by 85% and the final level for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial level by 60%. Because one or more underlyings have declined below their respective downside threshold values and digital threshold values, investors do not receive the digital payment and are exposed to the negative performance of the SPX Index, which is the worst performing underlying in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying beyond the buffer amount of 10%. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $250 per security, resulting in a loss of 75%.

Because the payment at maturity of the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline in the final level of any underlying to below its respective downside threshold value will result in a loss of some or a significant portion of your investment, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. You could lose up to 90% of your investment in the securities.

Principal at Risk Securities

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, index supplement and prospectus. You should also consult with 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 provide for the minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of your principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest and provide for the minimum return of only 10% of the principal amount at maturity. At maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash based upon the final level of each underlying. If the final level of any underlying is less than 90% of its respective initial level, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% decline in the final level of the worst performing underlying beyond the buffer amount of 10%. You could lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the securities.

￭Appreciation potential is fixed and limited. Where the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective digital threshold value, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed digital payment of at least $115 per security (11.50% of the stated principal amount), even if all three underlyings have appreciated substantially. The actual digital payment will be determined on the pricing date.

￭The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the values of the underlyings at any time other than the valuation date. The final level of each underlying will be based on the closing level of such underlying on the valuation date, subject to postponement for non-index business days or non-trading days, as applicable, and certain market disruption events. Even if the values of all three underlyings appreciate prior to the valuation date but the value of any underlying drops by the valuation date, the payment at maturity may be less, and may be significantly less, than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the values of the underlyings prior to such drop. Although the actual values of the underlyings on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than their respective final levels, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the closing levels on the valuation date.

￭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. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as 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. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the securities, taking into account its bid/offer spread, 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 it 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. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. 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 market price of the securities may 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. may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market, including:

othe values of the underlyings at any time (including in relation to their respective initial levels),

othe volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlyings and of the stocks composing the share underlying index, the SPX Index and the RTY Index,

odividend rates on the securities underlying the share underlying index, the SPX Index and the RTY Index,

ointerest and yield rates in the market,

ogeopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the component stocks of the underlyings or securities markets generally and which may affect the value of the underlyings,

othe time remaining until the maturity of the securities,

othe composition of the underlyings and changes in the constituent stocks of the share underlying index, the SPX Index and the RTY Index,

othe occurrence of certain events affecting the XLU Shares that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor, and

oany actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

Some or all of these factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. In particular, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if at the time of sale the value of any underlying is near, at or below its respective downside threshold value.

You cannot predict the future performance of the underlyings based on their historical performance. If the final level of any underlying is less than 90% of its respective initial level, you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the decline in the final level of the worst performing underlying beyond the buffer amount. There can be no assurance that the final level of each underlying will be greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial level so that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the $1,000 stated principal amount for each security you hold, or that you will not lose some or a significant portion of your investment.

￭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 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 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. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., are willing to purchase the securities in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, because secondary market prices will exclude the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the original issue price 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 original issue price 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 underlyings, 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 of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.

￭Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlyings or the stocks composing the share underlying index, the SPX Index or the RTY Index. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any underlying or the component stocks of the share underlying index, the SPX Index or the RTY Index. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute the share underlying index, the SPX Index or the RTY Index.

￭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 levels, the downside threshold values, the final levels, the underlying percent changes, if applicable, the payment that you will receive at maturity and whether to make any adjustments to the adjustment factor. 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 index closing value or the closing price, as applicable, of any underlying in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of any underlying.  These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of Securities—Postponement of Valuation Date(s),” “—Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index or Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation,” “—Discontinuance of Any ETF Shares and/or Share Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation,” “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in case of an Event of Default” and “—Calculation Agent and Calculations” in the accompanying product supplement.  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 to other instruments linked to the underlyings and the share underlying index or their component stocks), including trading in the XLU Shares, the stocks that constitute the share underlying index, the SPX Index or the RTY Index as well as in other instruments related to the underlyings. 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 valuation date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the underlyings and other financial instruments related to the underlyings and the share underlying index 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 February 13, 2024 could potentially increase the initial level of an underlying, and, therefore, could increase the value at or above which such underlying must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the value of any underlying on the valuation date, and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings).

￭The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. Please read the discussion under “Additional Information—Tax considerations” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump 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 (which, depending on the market conditions on the pricing date, could be substantial) 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. If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment, the timing and character of income on the securities might differ significantly from the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. There is a risk that the IRS may seek to treat all or a portion of the gain on the securities as ordinary income. For example, there is a risk (which, depending on the market conditions on the pricing date, could be substantial) that the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. The risk that financial instruments providing for buffers, triggers or similar downside protection features, such as the securities, would be recharacterized as debt is greater than the risk of recharacterization for comparable financial instruments that do not have such features. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections.

In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the

underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” rule, as discussed in this document. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any 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. 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, the potential application of the constructive ownership rule, the issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Risks Relating to the Underlyings

￭You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of each underlying. Rather, it will be based upon the independent performance of each underlying. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each underlying. Poor performance by any underlying over the term of the securities will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlyings. If the final level of any underlying declines to below 90% of its respective initial level, you will be exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of each underlying.

￭Because the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying, you are exposed to greater risk of sustaining a loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one underlying. The risk that you will suffer a loss on your investment is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlying. With three underlyings, it is more likely that the final level of any underlying will decline to below its respective downside threshold value than if the securities were linked to only one underlying. Therefore, it is more likely that you will suffer a loss on your investment.

￭Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the utilities sector. The stocks included in the Utilities Select Sector Index and that are generally tracked by the XLU Shares are stocks of companies whose primary business is directly associated with the utilities sector. Because the value of the securities is linked to the performance of the XLU Shares, an investment in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the utilities sector.

Utility companies are affected by supply and demand, operating costs, government regulation, environmental factors, liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities and rate caps or rate changes. Although rate changes of a regulated utility usually fluctuate in approximate correlation with financing costs, due to political and regulatory factors, rate changes ordinarily occur only following a delay after the changes in financing costs. This factor will tend to favorably affect a regulated utility company’s earnings and dividends in times of decreasing costs, but, conversely, will tend to adversely affect earnings and dividends when costs are rising. The value of regulated utility equity securities may tend to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates. Certain utility companies have experienced full or partial deregulation in recent years. These utility companies are frequently more similar to industrial companies in that they are subject to greater competition and have been permitted by regulators to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and their traditional lines of business. These opportunities may permit certain utility companies to earn more than their traditional regulated rates of return. Some companies, however, may be forced to defend their core business and may be less profitable. In addition, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, government intervention or other factors may render a utility company’s equipment unusable or obsolete and negatively impact profitability. Among the risks that may affect utility companies are the following: risks of increases in fuel and other operating costs; the high cost of borrowing to finance capital construction during inflationary periods; restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays associated with compliance with environmental and nuclear safety regulations; and the difficulties involved in obtaining natural gas for resale or fuel for generating electricity at reasonable prices. Other risks include those related to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, the effects of energy conservation and the effects of regulatory changes. The value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting the utilities sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers.

￭The securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. As the Russell 2000® Index is one of the underlyings, and the Russell 2000® Index consists of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization, the securities are linked to the value of small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may be more volatile than indices that consist of stocks issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-

capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.

￭Adjustments to the SPX Index and the RTY Index could adversely affect the value of the securities. The publisher of the SPX Index or the RTY Index may add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying such index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the SPX Index or the RTY Index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities. The publisher of the SPX Index or the RTY Index may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the SPX Index or the RTY Index at any time. In these circumstances, MS & Co., as the calculation agent, will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying. MS & Co. could have an economic interest that is different than that of investors in the securities insofar as, for example, MS & Co. is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by MS & Co. or any of its affiliates. If MS & Co. determines that there is no appropriate successor index, the payout on the securities at maturity will be an amount based on the closing prices on the valuation date of the stocks underlying the SPX Index or the RTY Index, as applicable, at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the SPX Index or the RTY Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuance (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings).

￭Adjustments to the XLU Shares or the share underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities. The investment adviser to the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Investment Adviser”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the share underlying index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Adviser may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the XLU Shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. S&P® Dow Jones Indices LLC is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying index. S&P® Dow Jones Indices LLC may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the share underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the share underlying index. S&P® Dow Jones Indices LLC may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the share underlying index at any time. If trading in the underlying shares is permanently discontinued and/or the XLU Shares is liquidated or otherwise terminated, and S&P® Dow Jones Indices LLC subsequently discontinues publication of the share underlying index, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued share 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 value of the share underlying index, and, consequently, the price of the XLU Shares and the value of the securities.

￭The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the XLU Shares. MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for certain events affecting the XLU Shares. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect the XLU Shares. 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.

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

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

For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the XLU Shares may not correlate with the performance of the share underlying index, the performance of the component securities of the share underlying index or the net asset value per share of the

XLU Shares. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect the price of the shares of the XLU Shares and, therefore, the value of the securities. Additionally, if market volatility or these events were to occur on the valuation date, 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 may 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 on the published closing price per share of the XLU Shares on the valuation date, even if the XLU Shares’ shares are underperforming the share underlying index or the component securities of the share underlying index and/or trading below the net asset value per share of the XLU Shares.

Additional Information About the Securities

Additional Information:
Minimum ticketing size:	$1,000 / 1 security
Tax considerations:	There is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority. Our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, is unable to render a definitive opinion on the tax treatment of the securities at this time as such opinion is dependent in part upon market conditions on the pricing date. Our counsel’s opinion will therefore be provided only on the pricing date. However, under current law, and based on current market conditions, our counsel believes that it is at least reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump 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. ￭Subject to the discussion immediately below, 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. It is possible that a portion of the proceeds you receive on the sale, exchange or settlement of the securities equal to the buffer amount could be treated as a separate item of ordinary income rather than as part of the amount realized on the disposition of the securities. Our counsel believes that it is more likely than not that such proceeds will be treated as part of the amount realized on the disposition of the securities. Because the securities are linked to shares of an exchange-traded fund, although the matter is not clear, there is a risk (which, depending on the market conditions on the pricing date, could be substantial) 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 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 Jump Securities for additional information and consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule. There is also a risk that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may seek to treat all or a portion of the gain on the securities as ordinary income. For example, there is a risk (which, depending on the market conditions on the pricing date, could be substantial) that the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which

income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any 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 Jump Securities, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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, 2025 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 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 Jump 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, the issues presented by the aforementioned notice 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 Jump 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.

Use of proceeds and hedging:

The proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used by us for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $1,000 per security issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the securities, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the agent’s commissions. The costs of the securities borne by you and described beginning on page 2 above comprise the agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities. On or prior to February 13, 2024, we expect to hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by entering into hedging transactions with our affiliates and/or third-party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to take positions in the XLU Shares, in stocks of the SPX Index, the RTY Index or the share underlying index and in futures and options contracts on the SPX Index, the RTY Index, the XLU Shares, the share underlying index or their component stocks listed on major securities markets. Such purchase activity could potentially increase the initial level of any underlying, and, therefore, could increase the value at or above which such underlying must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, by purchasing and selling the stocks constituting the SPX Index, the RTY Index or the share underlying index, futures or options contracts on the SPX Index, the RTY Index, the XLU Shares, the share underlying index or their component stocks listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities. 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 valuation date approaches. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of any underlying, and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the securities or the payment you will receive at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.
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.

MS & Co. will not receive a sales commission with respect to the securities. MS & Co. is an affiliate of MSFL and a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and it and other affiliates of ours expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the securities. When MS & Co. prices this offering of securities, it will determine the economic terms of the securities, including the digital payment, such that for each security the estimated value on the pricing date will be no lower than the minimum level described in “Investment Summary” on page 2. MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.
