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 Trigger PLUS

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

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

The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

The Trigger 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 Trigger PLUS.

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

The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is $955.60 per Trigger PLUS, or within $45.00 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 Trigger PLUS is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at any time other than the valuation date.

Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying indices.

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

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

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

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

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

Risks Relating to the Underlying Indices

You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying index.

Because the Trigger PLUS are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying index, you are exposed to greater risk of sustaining a significant loss on your investment than if the Trigger PLUS were linked to just one underlying index.

The Trigger PLUS are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies.

Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the Trigger PLUS.

Tax Considerations

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