All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the Common Stock of Micron Technology, Inc. and the Common Stock of Netflix, Inc.
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The securities are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities will pay no interest, do not guarantee the repayment of any principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. Beginning after one-year, if a redemption event has occurred with respect to each of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of Micron Technology, Inc. and the common stock of Netflix, Inc., which we refer to collectively as the underlying stocks, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities, as described below. A redemption event occurs with respect to an underlying stock if, on any monthly determination date (beginning after one year), the closing price of such underlying stock (multiplied by its respective then-current adjustment factor) is greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial share price, which we refer to as the respective call threshold level. The securities will be redeemed if a redemption event occurs with respect to each of the underlying stocks on either the same monthly determination date (beginning after one year) or on different monthly determination dates (beginning after one year), but a redemption event must occur with respect to each of the underlying stocks for the securities to be automatically redeemed. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock on or prior to the final determination date, investors will receive a payment at maturity per $1,000 security that reflects a per annum return of approximately 25.25%. If at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, but the final share price of each underlying stock 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 the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline of the worst performing underlying stock from its initial share price 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 risk their principal based on the worst performing underlying stock and forgo current income and participation in the appreciation of the underlying stocks in exchange for the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment or payment at maturity greater than the stated principal amount if a redemption event occurs with respect to each underlying stock on or prior to the final determination date. In order for you to receive a positive return on the securities, a redemption event must occur with respect to each underlying stock on or prior to the final determination date. Furthermore, a redemption event can occur with respect to any underlying stock only on one of the monthly determination dates (beginning after one year), and not at other times during the term of the securities. If at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, the payment at maturity will be based on the worst performing of the underlying stocks. In such a scenario, a decline beyond the respective downside threshold level of any underlying stock will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlying stocks have appreciated or have not declined as much. Investors will not participate in the appreciation of any underlying stock. The securities are 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.

All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the Common Stock of Micron Technology, Inc. and the Common Stock of Netflix, Inc.
Principal at Risk Securities
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 is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $974.00.
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 stocks. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying stocks, instruments based on the underlying stocks, 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 early redemption payment amounts, the call threshold levels and the downside threshold levels, 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 underlying stocks, 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 underlying stocks, 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.

Key Investment Rationale
The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, beginning after one year, the securities will be automatically redeemed if, as of any monthly determination date, a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock.
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 significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.
Scenario 1: The securities are redeemed prior to maturity |
Beginning after one year, if a redemption event has occurred on or prior to a determination date with respect to each underlying stock, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the applicable early redemption payment on the related early redemption date, corresponding to a return of approximately 25.25% per annum. Investors do not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks. |
Scenario 2: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive a positive return at maturity |
This scenario assumes that at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event prior to the final determination date. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. However, as of the final determination date, a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock. At maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to $2,010.00 per stated principal amount, corresponding to a return of approximately 25.25% per annum. Investors do not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks. |
Scenario 3: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive the stated principal amount at maturity |
This scenario assumes that at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and, at maturity, investors do not receive a positive return. However, the final share price of each underlying stock is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level, which is 70% of its respective initial share price. Therefore, at maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000. |
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 underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and, at maturity, investors do not receive a positive return. On the final determination date, the final share price of at least one underlying stock is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, at maturity, investors will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying stock. 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 closing price of each underlying stock on each of the monthly determination dates (beginning after one year), and the payment at maturity (if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity) will be determined by reference to whether or not a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock and the final share price of each underlying stock on the final determination date. The actual initial share prices, call threshold levels and downside threshold levels are set forth on the cover of this document. Some numbers appearing in the examples below may have been rounded for ease of analysis. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk. The below examples assume that there are no adjustments to the adjustment factors and are based on the following terms:
Hypothetical Initial Share Price: |
With respect to the AMZN Stock: $180.00 With respect to the MU Stock: $120.00 With respect to the NFLX Stock: $600.00 |
|
Hypothetical Call Threshold Level: |
With respect to the AMZN Stock: $162.00, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the MU Stock: $108.00, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the NFLX Stock: $540.00, which is 90% of its hypothetical initial share price |
|
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level: |
With respect to the AMZN Stock: $126.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the MU Stock: $84.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the NFLX Stock: $420.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial share price |

$1,273.542 |
In this example, on the first determination date, the closing prices of two of the underlying stocks are at or above their respective call threshold levels, but the closing price of the other underlying stock is below its respective call threshold level. Therefore, the securities are not redeemed, but a redemption event has occurred with respect to the MU Stock and the NFLX Stock. On the second determination date, the closing price of the AMZN Stock is at or above its respective call threshold level. Therefore, as of the second determination date, a redemption event has occurred with respect to each of the three underlying stocks. The securities are automatically redeemed on the second early redemption date. Investors will receive $1,273.542 per security on the related early redemption date, corresponding to an annual return of approximately 25.25%. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed, and investors do not participate in the appreciation of any underlying stock.

In this example, on the first determination date, a redemption event occurs with respect to the AMZN Stock, but a redemption event does not occur with respect to either the MU Stock or the NFLX Stock. Therefore, the securities are not redeemed. On the second determination date, a redemption event occurs with respect to the MU Stock, but because the NFLX Stock has not experienced a redemption event, the securities are not redeemed. On each of the third through fifth determination dates, the NFLX Stock does not experience a redemption event. Therefore, the securities are not redeemed. On the sixth determination date, a redemption event occurs with respect to the NFLX Stock. Therefore, the securities are automatically redeemed, as a redemption event has occurred with respect to each of the three underlying stocks. Investors will receive a payment of $1,357.708 per security on the related early redemption date. No further payments will be made

In example 1, the final share price of each underlying stock is at or above its respective call threshold level. Therefore, a redemption event has necessarily occurred with respect to each underlying stock on or prior to the final determination date, and investors receive at maturity a fixed positive return. Investors do not participate in the appreciation of any underlying stock.
In example 2, the final share price of two of the underlying stocks are at or above their respective call threshold levels and downside threshold levels, but the final share price of the other underlying stock is below its call threshold level and at or above its downside threshold level. A redemption event has necessarily occurred with respect to both the AMZN Stock and NFLX Stock. This example assumes that a redemption event has not occurred with respect to the MU Stock prior to the final determination date. Therefore, at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date. The AMZN Stock has increased 20% from its initial share price to its final share, the NFLX Stock has increased 10% from its initial share price to its final share price and the MU Stock has declined 20% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $1,000 per security. Investors do not participate in the appreciation of any underlying stock.
In example 3, the final share prices of two of the underlying stocks are at or above their respective call threshold levels and downside threshold levels, but the final share price of the other underlying stock is below its respective downside threshold level. A redemption event has necessarily occurred with respect to the both the AMZN Stock and MU Stock, but this example assumes that a redemption event has not occurred with respect to the NFLX Stock prior to the final determination date.

exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying stock at maturity. The AMZN Stock has increased 20% from its initial share price to its final share price, the MU Stock has increased 25% from its initial share price to its final share price and the NFLX Stock has declined 70% 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 NFLX Stock, which is the worst performing underlying stock in this example. Investors lose a significant portion of their investment even though the other two underlying stocks have appreciated, because the final share price of the other underlying stock is less than its respective downside threshold level.
In example 4, at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date. The final share price of one of the underlying stocks is at or above its call threshold level and downside threshold level, the final share price of one of the underlying stocks is below its call threshold level and at or above its downside threshold level and the final share price of the other underlying stock is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying stock at maturity. The AMZN Stock has increased 20% from its initial share price to its final share price, the MU Stock has declined 80% from its initial share price to its final share price and the NFLX Stock has declined 25% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, the payment at maturity equals the stated principal amount times the share performance factor of the AMZN Stock, which is the worst performing underlying stock in this example.
In example 5, at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date. The final share price of each of the underlying stocks is below its respective downside threshold level, and investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount times the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying stock. The AMZN Stock has declined 80% from its initial share price to its final share price, the MU Stock has declined 55% from its initial share price to its final share price and the NFLX Stock has declined 50% from its initial share price to its final share price. Therefore, the payment at maturity equals the stated principal amount times the share performance factor of the AMZN Stock, which is the worst performing underlying stock in this example.
If a redemption event has not occurred with respect to at least one underlying stock, and the final share price of any underlying stock is below its respective downside threshold level, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the 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 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 any interest and do not guarantee the return of any of the stated principal amount at maturity. If at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, and the final share price of any underlying stock is less than its respective downside threshold level of 70% of its initial share price, you will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying stock, as compared to its respective 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 times the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying stock. 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 payments or payment at maturity specified for each determination date. The appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed early redemption payments specified for each determination date (beginning after one year) if, as of that determination date, each underlying stock has closed at or above its respective call threshold level on at least one monthly determination date, or to the fixed upside payment at maturity if the securities have not been redeemed and, as of the final determination date, a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock. In all cases, you will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks, which could be significant. In addition, in order for you to receive a positive return on the securities, a redemption event must occur with respect to each underlying stock on or prior to the final determination date. Furthermore, a redemption event can occur with respect to any underlying stock only on one of the monthly determination dates (beginning after one year), and not at other times during the term of the securities. If a redemption event occurs with respect to only one or two of the underlying stocks, but not with respect to the other(s), you will not receive a positive return on the securities, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment at maturity.
■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 prices of the underlying stocks on any day, including in relation to the respective initial share prices, call threshold levels and downside threshold levels, will affect the value of the securities more than any other factors. Other factors that may influence the value of the securities include:
othe trading price and volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying stocks,
odividend rates on the underlying stocks,
otime 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 stock that may or may not require adjustments to the adjustment factors, 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. Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the

Principal at Risk Securities
other factors described above. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security if the price of any underlying stock at the time of sale is near or below its downside threshold level or if market interest rates rise.
■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.
■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 year of the term of the securities.
■The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. MS & Co. 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.
■Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc. Investors in the securities will not participate in any appreciation in the underlying stocks, and will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying stocks. As a result, any return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you owned shares of the underlying stocks and received the dividends paid or distributions made on them.
■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 stocks, 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 stocks), including trading in the underlying stocks. Some of our affiliates also trade the underlying stocks and other financial instruments related to the underlying stocks on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. 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. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial share price of an underlying stock, and, therefore, could increase (i) the value at or above which such underlying stock must close on the 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 stocks), and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying stock, which is the price at or above which the underlying stock must close on the final determination date (if the securities are not called) so that investors do not suffer a significant loss on their initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlying stocks). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the closing price of any underlying stock 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 (depending also on the performance of the other underlying stocks).
■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 call threshold levels, the downside threshold levels, the final share prices, whether a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock, whether the securities will be redeemed following any determination date, whether a market disruption event has occurred, whether to make any adjustments to the adjustment factors and the payment that you will receive upon an early redemption or at maturity, if any. Moreover, certain determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and certain adjustments to the

adjustment factors. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity, if any. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see "Description of Auto-Callable Securities—Postponement of Determination Dates," "—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.
■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 Stocks
■You are exposed to the price risk of each of the underlying stocks. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of the underlying stocks. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlying stock. 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 stocks. Poor performance by any underlying stock 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 underlying stocks. To receive an early redemption payment, each underlying stock must have closed at or above its respective call threshold level on a determination date (beginning after one year). In addition, if at least one underlying stock has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, and any underlying stock has 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 stock over the term of the securities on a 1-to-1 basis, even if the other underlying stocks have appreciated or have not declined as much. Under these circumstances, 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 stocks.
■No affiliation with Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc. Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. and Netflix, Inc. are not affiliates of ours, are not involved with this offering in any way, and have no obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the securities. We have not made any due diligence inquiry with respect to Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc. in connection with this offering. See “Amazon.com, Inc. Overview”, “Micron Technology, Inc. Overview” and “Netflix, Inc. Overview” below.
■We may engage in business with or involving Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc. without regard to your interests. We or our affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc. without regard to your interests and thus may acquire non-public information about Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc. Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to Amazon.com, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. or Netflix, Inc., which may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the underlying stock(s).
■The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every corporate event that could affect the underlying stocks. MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factors for certain corporate events affecting the underlying stocks, such as stock splits, stock dividends and extraordinary dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the issuers of the underlying stocks, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the underlying stocks. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments if the issuers of the underlying stocks or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for the underlying stocks, nor will adjustments be made following the final determination date. In addition, no adjustments will be made for regular cash dividends, which are expected to reduce the price of the underlying stocks by the amount of such dividends. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust an adjustment factor, such as a regular cash dividend, this may decrease the final share price of an underlying stock to be less than its respective downside threshold level (resulting in a loss of a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities), materially and adversely affecting your return.

If, with respect to one or more of the underlying stocks, (i) there occurs any reclassification or change of such underlying stock, including, without limitation, as a result of the issuance of any tracking stock by the underlying stock issuer for such underlying stock, (ii) such underlying stock issuer or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of such underlying stock issuer (the “successor corporation”) has been subject to a merger, combination or consolidation and is not the surviving entity, (iii) any statutory exchange of securities of such underlying stock issuer or any successor corporation with another corporation occurs (other than pursuant to clause (ii) above), (iv) such underlying stock issuer is liquidated, (v) such underlying stock issuer issues to all of its shareholders equity securities of an issuer other than such underlying stock issuer (other than in a transaction described in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) (a “spin-off event”) or (vi) a tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction is consummated for all the outstanding shares of such underlying stock (any such event in clauses (i) through (vi), a “reorganization event”), the method of determining whether a redemption event has occurred, whether the securities will be automatically redeemed and the amount payable upon an early redemption date or at maturity for each security will be as follows: ●Upon any determination date following the effective date of a reorganization event up to and including the final determination date: If the exchange property value (as defined below) is greater than or equal to the respective call threshold level, a redemption event will have occurred with respect to the underlying stock that has undergone the reorganization event. ●Upon any determination date following the effective date of a reorganization event and prior to the final determination date: If, as of any determination date, a redemption event has occurred on or prior to such determination date with respect to each underlying stock, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the relevant early redemption payment. ●Upon the final determination date, if the securities have not previously been automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity per security will equal: ➢If a redemption event has occurred with respect to each underlying stock on or prior to the final determination date: $2,010.00; ➢If at least one of the underlying stocks has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, but the exchange property value is |

greater than or equal to the respective downside threshold level, and the final share price (or exchange property value, if applicable) of each other underlying stock is also greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level: $1,000; or ➢If at least one of the underlying stocks has not experienced a redemption event on or prior to the final determination date, and the exchange property value is less than the respective downside threshold level, or the final share price (or exchange property value, if applicable) of each other underlying stock is also less than its respective downside threshold level: ➢ If the worst performing underlying stock has not undergone a reorganization event as described in paragraph 5 above: (i) the stated principal amount multiplied by (ii) the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying stock. ➢ If the worst performing underlying stock has undergone a reorganization event as described in paragraph 5 above: (i) the stated principal amount multiplied by (ii) the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying stock. For purposes of calculating the share performance factor of the worst performing underlying stock, the “final share price” of the worst performing underlying stock will be deemed to equal the cash value, determined as of the final determination date, of the securities, cash or any other assets distributed to holders of the worst performing underlying stock in or as a result of any such reorganization event, including (A) in the case of the issuance of tracking stock, the reclassified share of such worst performing underlying stock, (B) in the case of a spin-off event, the share of such worst performing underlying stock with respect to which the spun-off security was issued, and (C) in the case of any other reorganization event where such worst performing underlying stock continues to be held by the holders receiving such distribution, such worst performing underlying stock (collectively, the “exchange property”), per share of such worst performing underlying stock times the adjustment factor for such worst performing underlying stock on the final determination date. In the event exchange property consists of securities, those securities will, in turn, be subject to the antidilution adjustments set forth in paragraphs 1 through 5. For purposes of determining whether or not the exchange property value is less than the call threshold level or downside threshold level, or for determining the worst performing underlying stock, “exchange property value” means (x) for any cash received in any reorganization event, the value, as determined by the calculation agent, as of the date of receipt, of such cash received for one share of such underlying stock, as adjusted by the adjustment factor for such underlying stock at the time of such reorganization event, (y) for any property other than cash or securities received in any such reorganization event, the market value, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion, as of the date of receipt, of such exchange property received for one share of such underlying stock, as adjusted by the adjustment factor for such underlying stock at the time of such reorganization event, and (z) for any security received in any such reorganization event, an amount equal to the closing price, as of the day on which the exchange property value is determined, per share of such security multiplied by the quantity of such security received for each share of such underlying stock, as adjusted by the adjustment factor for such underlying stock at the time of such reorganization event. For purposes of paragraph 5 above, in the case of a consummated tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction involving consideration of particular types, exchange property shall be deemed to include the amount of cash or other property delivered by the offeror in the tender or exchange offer (in an amount determined on the basis of the rate of exchange in such tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction). In the event of a tender or exchange offer or a going-private transaction with respect to exchange property in which an offeree may elect to receive cash or other property, exchange property shall be deemed to include the kind and amount of cash and other property received by offerees who elect to receive cash. |

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. 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 our determination 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 6 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 stocks, in futures and/or options contracts on the underlying stocks, 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 an underlying stock, and, therefore, could increase (i) the value at or above which such underlying stock must close on the 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 stocks) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying stock, which is the value at or above which such underlying stock must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying stock at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlying stocks). 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 any underlying stock 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 (depending also on the performance of the other underlying stocks). For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement for auto-callable securities. |
Additional considerations: |
Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly. |
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest: |
Selected dealers, which may include our affiliates, and their financial advisors will receive a structuring fee of up to $8 for each security from the agent or its affiliates. MS & Co., the agent, will not receive a sales commission in connection with 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. 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. |
