All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley

Principal at Risk Securities

The securities offered are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. The securities do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Beginning after six months, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the determination closing price of each of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund, which we refer to as the underlying shares, on any of the quarterly determination dates is greater than or equal to its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level, for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities, as described below. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial share price, investors will receive a payment at maturity of at least $1,480.00 per $1,000 security (to be determined on the pricing date). If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than 90% of its respective initial share price but the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to 70% of its respective initial share price, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold level, investors will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 security. However, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying shares on a 1-to-1 basis, and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment. The securities are for investors who are willing to forgo current income and participation in the appreciation of either of the underlying shares in exchange for the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment or payment at maturity greater than the stated principal amount if each of the underlying shares closes at or above the respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on a quarterly determination date or at or above 90% of its initial share price on the final determination date, respectively, with no possibility of an early redemption until after the six-month non-call period. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlying shares, a decline beyond the respective downside threshold level of either of the underlying shares will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlying shares have appreciated or have not declined as much. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of either of the underlying shares. 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.

If the securities have not previously been redeemed, you will receive at maturity a cash payment per security as follows:

●If the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial share price:

At least $1,480.00 (to be determined on the pricing date)

●If the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than 90% of its respective initial share price but the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level:

$1,000

●If the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold level:

$1,000 × share performance factor of the worst performing underlying shares

Under these circumstances, investors will lose a significant portion or all of their investment. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment.

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 $980.50, or within $30.00 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 underlying shares. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying shares, instruments based on the underlying shares, 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.

Key Investment Rationale

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, beginning after six months, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the determination closing price of each of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund on any quarterly determination date is greater than or equal to its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level.

The following scenarios are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how an automatic early redemption payment or the payment at maturity (if the securities have not previously been redeemed) are calculated, and do not attempt to demonstrate every situation that may occur. Accordingly, the securities may or may not be redeemed prior to maturity and the payment at maturity may be less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.


Scenario 1: The securities are redeemed prior to maturity	Beginning after six months, when each of the underlying shares closes at or above its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on any quarterly determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the applicable early redemption payment on the related early redemption date. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in either of the underlying shares.
Scenario 2: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive a fixed positive return at maturity	This scenario assumes that at least one of the underlying shares closes below its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on each of the quarterly determination dates (beginning after six months). Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, each of the underlying shares closes at or above 90% of its respective initial share price. At maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to at least $1,480.00 per stated principal amount (to be determined on the pricing date). Investors do not participate in any appreciation in either of the underlying shares.
Scenario 3: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive the return of principal at maturity	This scenario assumes that at least one of the underlying shares closes below its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on each of the quarterly determination dates (beginning after six months). Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, at least one of the underlying shares closes below 90% of its respective initial share price, but the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to $1,000 per $1,000 security.
Scenario 4: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors suffer a substantial loss of principal at maturity	This scenario assumes that at least one of the underlying shares closes below its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on each of the quarterly determination dates (beginning after six months). Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, at least one of the underlying shares closes below its respective downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying shares. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than the stated principal amount and could be zero.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether the securities are redeemed prior to maturity will be determined by reference to the determination closing price of each of the underlying shares on each of the quarterly determination dates (beginning after six months), and the payment at maturity, if any, will be determined by reference to the final share price of each of the underlying shares on the final determination date. The actual early redemption payment amounts, initial share prices, redemption threshold levels and downside threshold levels will be determined on the pricing date. Some numbers appearing in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the following terms:


Hypothetical Early Redemption Payment:	The hypothetical early redemption payment will be an amount in cash per stated principal amount (corresponding to a return of approximately 16.00% per annum) for each quarterly determination date (beginning after six months), as follows: ●1st determination date: $1,080.00 ●2nd determination date: $1,120.00 ●3rd determination date: $1,160.00 ●4th determination date: $1,200.00 ●5th determination date: $1,240.00 ●6th determination date: $1,280.00 ●7th determination date: $1,320.00 ●8th determination date: $1,360.00 ●9th determination date: $1,400.00 ●10th determination date: $1,440.00 No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.
Payment at Maturity:	If the securities have not previously been redeemed, you will receive at maturity a cash payment per security as follows: ●If the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial share price: $1,480.00 (the actual payment at maturity for this scenario will be determined on the pricing date) ●If the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than 90% of its respective initial share price but the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level: $1,000 ●If the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold level: $1,000 × share performance factor of the worst performing underlying shares. Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment.
Stated Principal Amount:	$1,000
Hypothetical Initial Share Price:	With respect to the XLE Shares: $75.00 With respect to the XLU Shares: $70.00
90% of the Hypothetical Initial Share Price:	With respect to the XLE Shares: $67.50, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the XLU Shares: $63.00, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial share price
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level:	With respect to the XLE Shares: $52.50, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the XLU Shares: $49.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial share price
Hypothetical Redemption Threshold Levels:	1st determination date: With respect to the XLE Shares, $75.00, which is 100% of its initial share price With respect to the XLU Shares, $70.00, which is 100% of its initial share price 6th determination date: With respect to the XLE Shares, $71.25, which is 95% of its initial share price With respect to the XLU Shares, $66.50, which is 95% of its initial share price

1st Determination Date	$80.00 (at or above the then-applicable redemption threshold level)	$67.50 (below the then-applicable redemption threshold level, securities are not redeemed)	--
2nd Determination Date	$90.00 (at or above the then-applicable redemption threshold level)	$85.00 (at or above the then-applicable redemption threshold level, securities are automatically redeemed)	$1,120.00

In this example, on the first determination date, the determination closing price of one of the underlying shares is at or above its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level, but the determination closing price of the other underlying shares is below its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level. Therefore, the securities are not redeemed. On the second determination date, the determination closing price of each of the underlying shares is at or above the respective then-applicable redemption threshold level. Therefore, the securities are automatically redeemed on the second early redemption date. Investors will receive a payment of $1,120.00 per security on the related early redemption date. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed, and investors do not participate in the appreciation in either of the underlying shares.

How to calculate the payment at maturity:

In the following examples, one or both of the underlying shares close below the respective then-applicable redemption threshold level(s) on each of the quarterly determination dates (beginning after six months), and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.


	XLE Final Share Price	XLU Final Share Price	Payment at Maturity (per Security)
Example 1:	$80.00 (at or above 90% of its initial share price)	$75.00 (at or above 90% of its initial share price)	$1,480.00
Example 2:	$60.00 (below 90% of its initial share price but at or above its downside threshold level)	$84.00 (at or above 90% of its initial share price and at or above its downside threshold level)	$1,000
Example 3:	$93.75 (at or above 90% of its initial share price and at or above its downside threshold level)	$28.00 (below its downside threshold level)	$1,000 × ($28.00 / $70.00) = $400
Example 4:	$15.00 (below its downside threshold level)	$56.00 (below 90% of its initial share price but at or above its downside threshold level)	$1,000 × ($15.00 / $75.00) = $200
Example 5:	$15.00 (below its downside threshold level)	$35.00 (below its downside threshold level)	$1,000 × ($15.00 / $75.00) = $200

In example 1, the final share price of each of the underlying shares is at or above 90% of its respective initial share price. Therefore, investors receive $1,480.00 per security at maturity. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in either of the underlying shares.

In example 2, the final share price of one of the underlying shares is at or above 90% of its initial share price and at or above its downside threshold level, but the final share price of the other of the underlying shares is below 90% of its initial share price and at or above its downside threshold level. The XLU Shares have increased 20% from its initial share price to its final share price and the XLE Shares have declined 20% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, investors receive a payment at

maturity equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in either of the underlying shares.

In example 3, the final share price of one of the underlying shares is at or above 90% of its initial share price and at or above its downside threshold level, but the final share price of the other underlying shares is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying shares at maturity. The XLE Shares have increased 25% from its initial share price to its final share price and the XLU Shares have declined 60% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the XLU Shares, which is the worst performing underlying shares in this example.

In example 4, the final share price of one of the underlying shares is below 90% of its initial share price but at or above its downside threshold level, while the final share price of the other underlying shares is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying shares at maturity. The XLU Shares have declined 20% from its initial share price to its final share price and the XLE Shares have declined 80% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the XLE Shares, which is the worst performing underlying shares in this example.

In example 5, the final share price of each of the underlying shares is below its respective downside threshold level, and investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying shares. The XLE Shares have declined 80% from its initial share price to its final share price and the XLU Shares have declined 50% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, the payment at maturity equals the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the XLE Shares, which is the worst performing underlying shares in this example.

If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of either of the underlying shares is below its respective downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying shares at maturity, and your payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount per security and could be zero.

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. We also urge you to 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 or guarantee the return of any principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any of the principal amount at maturity. If the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of either of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold level of 70% of its initial share price, you will be exposed to the decline in the value of the worst performing underlying shares, as compared to its initial share price, on a 1-to-1 basis, and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying shares. In this case, the payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.

￭The appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the fixed early redemption payment or payment at maturity specified for each determination date. The appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed early redemption payment specified for each determination date if each of the underlying shares closes at or above its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on any quarterly determination date (beginning after six months), or to the fixed upside payment at maturity if the securities have not been redeemed and the final share price of each of the underlying shares is at or above 90% of its initial share price. In all cases, you will not participate in any appreciation of either of the underlying shares, which could be significant.

￭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. may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market. We expect that generally the level of interest rates available in the market and the value of each of the underlying shares on any day, including in relation to its respective initial share price, redemption threshold levels and downside threshold level, will affect the value of the securities more than any other factors. Other factors that may influence the value of the securities include:

othe volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying shares and of the stocks composing their respective share underlying indices,

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

odividend rates on the stocks constituting the share underlying indices,

othe time remaining until the securities mature,

ointerest and yield rates in the market,

othe availability of comparable instruments,

othe occurrence of certain events affecting the underlying shares that may or may not require an adjustment to an adjustment factor,

othe composition of the underlying shares and changes in the constituents of the underlying shares, and

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

Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount of $1,000 per

Principal at Risk Securities

security if the price of either of the underlying shares at the time of sale is near or below its downside threshold level or if market interest rates rise.

You cannot predict the future performance of either of the underlying shares based on its historical performance. The price(s) of one or both of the underlying shares may decrease so that you will receive no return on your investment and receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount. See “Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund Overview” and “Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund Overview” below.

￭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 upon an early redemption or 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.

￭Not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or the stocks composing the share underlying indices. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in either of the underlying shares, the share underlying indices or the stocks that constitute the share underlying indices. Investors in the securities will not participate in any positive performance of either of the underlying shares, and will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the share underlying indices.

￭Reinvestment risk. The term of your investment in the securities may be shortened due to the automatic early redemption feature of the securities. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive no further payments on the securities and may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. However, under no circumstances will the securities be redeemed in the first six months of the term of the securities.

￭The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited, and accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities for the entire 3-year term of the securities. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. 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.

Principal at Risk 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., may be 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 underlying shares, 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.

￭Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially 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 underlying shares or their component stocks), including trading in the stocks that constitute the underlying shares as well as in other instruments related to the underlying shares. 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 final determination date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the stocks that constitute the underlying shares and other financial instruments related to the underlying shares 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 share price of either of the underlying shares, and, therefore, could increase (i) the respective values at or above which such underlying shares must close on the respective determination dates so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying shares, which is the value at or above which such underlying shares must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying shares at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the value of either of the underlying shares on the determination dates, and, accordingly, whether we redeem the securities prior to maturity and the amount of cash you will receive at maturity, if any.

￭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 share prices, the redemption threshold levels, the downside threshold levels, the final share prices, whether the securities will be redeemed on any early redemption date, the payment at maturity, if any, and whether to make any adjustments to the adjustment factors. 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 or calculation of the determination closing price in the event of a market disruption event. These potentially subjective determinations may affect the payout to you upon an early redemption or at maturity, if any. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Additional Terms of the Securities—Additional Terms—Calculation Agent,” “—Market Disruption Event,” “—Antidilution Adjustments,” “—Postponement of Determination Dates,” “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares of an Exchange-Traded Fund and/or Share Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” and “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.

￭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 auto-callable securities (together, the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of income on the securities might differ significantly from the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. For example, under one possible treatment, 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, 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. 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 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 Underlying Shares

￭You are exposed to the price risk of each of the underlying shares. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of both underlying shares. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each of the underlying shares. 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 of the underlying shares. Poor performance by either of the underlying shares over the term of the securities may

negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlying shares. To receive an early redemption payment, each of the underlying shares must close at or above its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on the applicable determination date. In addition, if the securities have not been redeemed and at least one of the underlying shares have declined to below its respective downside threshold level as of the final determination date, you will be fully exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying shares over the term of the securities on a 1-to-1 basis, even if the other underlying shares have appreciated or have not declined as much. Under this scenario, the value of any such payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of each of the underlying shares.

￭Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments with a concentration in the energy sector. The stocks included in the Energy Select Sector Index and that are generally tracked by the XLE Shares are stocks of companies whose primary business is directly associated with the energy sector, including the following sub-sectors: (i) oil, gas and consumable fuels and (ii) energy equipment and services. Because the value of the securities is linked to the performance of the XLE Shares, an investment in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the energy sector.

Energy companies develop and produce crude oil and natural gas and/or provide drilling and other energy resources production and distribution related services. Stock prices for these types of companies are mainly affected by the business, financial and operating condition of the particular company, as well as changes in prices for oil, gas and other types of fuels, which in turn largely depend on supply and demand for various energy products and services. Some of the factors that may influence supply and demand for energy products and services include: general economic conditions and growth rates, weather conditions, the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas, technological advances affecting energy efficiency and energy consumption, the ability of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to set and maintain production levels of oil, currency fluctuations, inflation, natural disasters, civil unrest, acts of sabotage or terrorism and other regional or global events. The profitability of energy companies may also be adversely affected by existing and future laws, regulations, government actions and other legal requirements relating to protection of the environment, health and safety matters and others that may increase the costs of conducting their business or may reduce or delay available business opportunities. Increased supply or weak demand for energy products and services, as well as various developments leading to higher costs of doing business or missed business opportunities, would adversely impact the performance of companies in the energy sector. 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 energy sector or one of the sub-sectors of the energy sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers.

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

￭Adjustments to the underlying shares or the indices tracked by the underlying shares could adversely affect the value of the securities. The investment advisor to each of the underlying shares (SSGA Funds Management, Inc.) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the relevant share underlying indices. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the investment advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the respective underlying shares. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the respective underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. The publisher of each of the share underlying indices is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying indices. The publisher may add, delete or substitute the securities constituting the share underlying indices or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the share underlying indices, and, consequently, the price of the underlying shares and the value of the securities. The publisher of the share underlying indices may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of a share underlying 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 share underlying index and will be permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.

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

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

Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund Overview

The Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund is an exchange-traded fund managed by the Select Sector SPDR Trust (the “Trust”), a registered investment company. The Trust consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund. The Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Energy Select Sector Index.

Additional Information About the Securities


Additional Information:
Minimum ticketing size:	$1,000 / 1 security
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, a security should be treated 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 auto-callable 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. 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. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (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 auto-callable 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 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 auto-callable 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 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 auto-callable 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 4 above comprise the agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities. On or prior to the pricing date, we will 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 underlying shares, in futures and/or options contracts on the underlying shares or the component stocks of the share underlying shares, or positions in any other available securities or instruments that they may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase activity could potentially increase the initial share price of either of the underlying shares, and, therefore, could increase (i) the respective values at or above which such underlying shares must close on the respective determination dates so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying shares, which is the level at or above which such underlying shares must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying shares at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares). 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 final determination date approaches. Additionally, our hedging activities, as well as our other trading activities, during the term of the securities could potentially affect the value of either of the underlying shares on the determination dates, and, accordingly, whether we redeem the securities prior to maturity and the amount of cash you will receive at maturity, if any. 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.
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest:	MS & Co. expects to sell all of the securities that it purchases from us to an unaffiliated dealer at a price of $ per security, for further sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts at the price to public of $1,000 per security. 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 early redemption payment amounts, such that for each security the estimated value on the pricing date will be no lower than the minimum level described in “Investment Summary” beginning on page 3. 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 for auto-callable securities.
