Risk Considerations

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

Risks Relating to an Investment in the PLUS

●The PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee return of any principal.

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

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

●The PLUS 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 PLUS.

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

●The estimated value of the PLUS is $972.90 per PLUS, or within $35.00 of that estimate, and is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price.

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

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

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

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

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

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

●The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are uncertain.

Risks Relating to the Underlying Index
