All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley

Principal at Risk Securities

The securities 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. The securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund which we refer to as the underlyings, on the first determination date is greater than or equal to 100% of its respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective call threshold level, for an early redemption payment of $1,170 per security, 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 level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective initial level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus a return reflecting 206.50% of the upside performance of the worst performing underlying. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of any underlying is less than its respective initial level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 70% of its respective initial level, 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 level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying 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 and forgo current income in exchange for the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment if each underlying closes at or above the respective call threshold level on the first determination date and the potential upside exposure to the worst performing underlying at maturity. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline beyond the respective downside threshold level of any underlying will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. 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.

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 $940.00.

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 underlyings. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlyings, instruments based on the underlyings, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

What determines the economic terms of the securities?

In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the early redemption payment amount, 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 underlyings, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlyings, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Key Investment Rationale

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund on the first determination date is greater than or equal to its respective call 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	When each underlying closes at or above its respective call threshold level on the first determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the early redemption payment on the early redemption date. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.
Scenario 2: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive a positive return at maturity	This scenario assumes that any underlying closes below its respective call threshold level on the first determination date. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, each underlying closes above its respective initial level. At maturity, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus a return reflecting 206.50% of the upside performance of the worst performing underlying.
Scenario 3: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive the return of principal at maturity	This scenario assumes that any underlying closes below its respective call threshold level on the first determination date. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, at least one underlying closes below its respective initial level, but the final level of each underlying 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 any underlying closes below its respective call threshold level on the first determination date. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, any underlying closes below its respective downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the performance factor of the worst performing underlying. 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 level of each underlying on the first determination date, and the payment at maturity, if any, will be determined by reference to the closing level of each underlying on the final determination date. The actual initial index values, call threshold levels and downside threshold levels are set forth on the cover of this document. 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:

Early Redemption Payment:	The early redemption payment will be an amount in cash per stated principal amount as follows: ●1st determination date: $1,170   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 level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its initial level: $1,000 + ($1,000 × underlying percent change of the worst performing underlying × 206.50%) ●If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective initial level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level: $1,000 ●If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level: $1,000 × performance factor of the worst performing underlying. Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment.
Stated Principal Amount:	$1,000
Hypothetical Initial Level:	With respect to the INDU Index: 30,000 With respect to the XLK Shares: $225.00 With respect to the RTY Index: 1,200
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level:	With respect to the INDU Index: 21,000, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the XLK Shares: $157.50, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the RTY Index: 840, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level
Hypothetical Call Threshold Level:	With respect to the INDU Index: 30,000, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the XLK Shares: $225.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the RTY Index: 1,200, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

Automatic Call:

Example 1 — the securities are redeemed following the first determination date

Date	INDU Index Closing Level	XLK Shares Closing Level	RTY Index Closing Level	Payment (per Security)
1st Determination Date	32,000 (at or above the call threshold level)	$250.00 (at or above the call threshold level)	1,750 (at or above the call threshold level)	$1,170

In this example, on the first determination date, the closing level of each underlying is at or above the respective call threshold level. Therefore, the securities are automatically redeemed on the early redemption date. Investors will receive a payment of $1,170 per security on the 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 any underlying.

How to calculate the payment at maturity:

In the following examples, one or more of the underlyings close below the respective call threshold level(s) on the first determination date, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.

	INDU Index Final Level	XLK Shares Final Level	RTY Index Final Level	Payment at Maturity (per Security)
Example 1:	33,000 (at or above its initial level)	$292.50 (at or above its initial level)	1,680 (at or above its initial level)	$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10% × 206.50%) = $1,206.50
Example 2:	36,000 (at or above its initial level and downside threshold level)	$180.00 (below its initial level but at or above its downside threshold level)	1,320 (at or above its initial level and downside threshold level)	$1,000
Example 3:	36,000 (at or above its initial level and downside threshold level)	$281.25 (at or above its initial level and downside threshold level)	480 (below its downside threshold level)	$1,000 × (480 / 1,200) = $400
Example 4:	36,000 (at or above its initial level and downside threshold level)	$45.00 (below its downside threshold level)	900 (below its initial level but at or above its downside threshold level)	$1,000 × ($45.00 / $225.00) = $200
Example 5:	6,000 (below its downside threshold level)	$101.25 (below its downside threshold level)	600 (below its downside threshold level)	$1,000 × (6,000 / 30,000) = $200

In example 1, the final level of each underlying is at or above its respective initial level. The INDU Index has appreciated by 10% while the XLK Shares have appreciated 30% and the RTY Index has appreciated by 40%. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus a return reflecting 206.50% of the appreciation of the worst performing underlying, which is the INDU Index in this example. Investors receive $1,206.50 per security at maturity.

In example 2, the final levels of two of the underlyings are at or above their initial levels and downside threshold levels, but the final level of the other underlying is below its initial level and at or above its downside threshold level. The INDU Index has increased 20% from its initial level to its final level, the RTY Index has increased 10% from its initial level to its final level and the XLK Shares have declined 20% from its initial level to its final level. Therefore, investors receive $1,000 per security at maturity. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.

In example 3, the final levels of two of the underlyings are at or above their initial levels and downside threshold levels, but the final level of the other underlying is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity. The INDU Index has increased 20% from its initial level to its final level, the XLK Shares have increased 25% from its initial level to its final level and the RTY Index has declined 60% from its initial level to its final level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the performance factor of the RTY Index, which is the worst performing underlying in this example.

In example 4, the final level of one of the underlyings is at or above its initial level and downside threshold level, the final level of one of the underlyings is below its initial level and at or above its downside threshold level, and the final level of the other underlying is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity. The

INDU Index has increased 20% from its initial level to its final level, the RTY Index has declined 25% from its initial level to its final level and the XLK Shares have declined 80% from its initial level to its final level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the performance factor of the XLK Shares, which is the worst performing underlying in this example.

In example 5, the final level of each underlying is below its respective downside threshold level, and investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the performance factor of the worst performing underlying. The INDU Index has declined 80% from its initial level to its final level, the XLK Shares have declined 55% from its initial level to its final level and the RTY Index has declined 50% from its initial level to its final level. Therefore, the payment at maturity equals the stated principal amount multiplied by the performance factor of the INDU Index, which is the worst performing underlying in this example.

If the final level of any underlying is below its respective downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying 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 if the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level of 70% of its initial level, you will be exposed to the decline in the value of the worst performing underlying, as compared to its initial level, 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 performance factor of the worst performing underlying. In this case, the payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.

￭If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the fixed early redemption payment specified for the first determination date. If each underlying closes at or above its respective call threshold level on the first determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed. In this scenario, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed early redemption payment specified for the first determination date, and no further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. In addition, if the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying, which could be significant. Moreover, the fixed early redemption payment may be less than the payment at maturity you would receive for the same level of appreciation of the worst performing underlying had the securities not been automatically redeemed and instead remained outstanding until 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 value of each underlying on any day, including in relation to its respective initial level, call threshold level 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 underlyings and the stocks constituting the INDU Index, the RTY Index and the Technology Select Sector Index (the “share underlying index”),

ogeopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlyings or securities markets generally and which may affect the levels of each underlying,

odividend rates on the stocks constituting the INDU Index, the RTY Index and the share underlying index,

othe time remaining until the securities mature,

ointerest and yield rates in the market,

othe availability of comparable instruments,

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

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

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

 

Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the other factors described above. 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 security if the price of any underlying 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 any underlying based on its historical performance. The value(s) of one or more of the underlyings 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 “Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM Overview,” “Russell 2000® Index Overview” and “Technology 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 underlyings or the stocks composing the INDU Index, the RTY Index or the share underlying index. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlyings or the stocks that constitute the INDU Index, the RTY Index or the share underlying index. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute the INDU Index, the RTY Index or the share underlying index.

￭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 at any point other than the specified early redemption date.

￭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.

￭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 underlyings, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

￭The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers, and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price. These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part on subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, because there is no market-standard way to value these types of securities, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the securities than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the securities. In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your securities at any time after the date of this document will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also “The market price 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 underlyings and the share underlying index), including taking positions in the XLK Shares and the stocks constituting the INDU Index, the RTY Index or the share underlying index, futures and/or options contracts on the underlyings or the component stock of the share underlying index listed on major securities markets. 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 underlyings and other financial instruments related to the underlyings and the share underlying index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial level of an underlying, and, therefore, could increase (i) the value at or above which such underlying must close on the first determination date so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying, which is the value at or above which such underlying must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the value of any underlying 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 levels, the call threshold levels, the downside threshold levels, the final levels, whether the securities will be redeemed on the early redemption date , whether a market disruption event has occurred, whether to make any adjustments to the adjustment factors and the payment 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 or calculation of a closing level in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of an underlying. 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 “Description of Auto-Callable Securities—Postponement of Determination Dates,” “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default,” “—Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation,” “—Calculation Agent and Calculations” and” “Description of Auto-Callable Securities—Auto-Callable Securities Linked to Underlying Shares” 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. As discussed in the Tax Disclosure Sections, there is a risk that the “constructive ownership” rule could apply, in which case all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder could be recharacterized as ordinary income and an interest charge could be imposed. In addition, there is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment of a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. Holders and the withholding tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders, might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, possibly retroactively.

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, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Risks Relating to the Underlyings

￭You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of the underlyings. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlying. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each underlying. Poor performance by any underlying over the term of the securities may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlyings. To receive the early redemption payment, each underlying must close at or above its respective call threshold level on the first determination date. In addition, if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early and any underlying 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 over the term of the securities on a 1-to-1 basis, even if one or both of the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. Under this scenario, the value of any such payment 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 underlying.

￭The securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. As the Russell 2000® Index is one of the underlyings, and the Russell 2000® Index consists of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization, the securities are linked to the value of small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may be more volatile than indices that consist of stocks issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.

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

￭Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments with a concentration in the technology sector. The stocks included in the Technology Select Sector Index and that are generally tracked by the XLK Shares are stocks of companies whose primary business is directly associated with the technology sector, including the following sub-sectors: computers and peripherals, software, diversified telecommunication services, communications equipment, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, internet software and services, IT services, electronic equipment, instruments and components, wireless telecommunication services and office electronics. Because the value of the securities is linked to the performance of the XLK Shares, an investment in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the technology sector.

The values of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology are particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Additionally, companies in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. All of these factors could have an effect on the price of the XLK Shares and, therefore, on the value of the securities.

￭Adjustments to the XLK Shares or the share underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities. The investment adviser to the XLK Shares, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Investment Adviser”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the share underlying index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Adviser may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the XLK Shares. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the XLK Shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. S&P® Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P®”) is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying index. S&P® may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the share

underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the share underlying index. S&P® may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the share underlying index at any time. If trading in the underlying shares is permanently discontinued and/or the XLK Shares is liquidated or otherwise terminated, and S&P® subsequently discontinues publication of the share underlying index, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued share underlying index and is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the share underlying index, and, consequently, the price of the XLK Shares and the value of the securities.

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

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

For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the XLK Shares may not correlate with the performance of the share underlying index, the performance of the component securities of the share underlying index or the net asset value per share of the XLK Shares. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect the price of the shares of the XLK Shares and, therefore, the value of the securities. Additionally, if market volatility or these events were to occur on the final observation date, the calculation agent would maintain discretion to determine whether such market volatility or events have caused a market disruption event to occur, and such determination may affect the payment at maturity of the securities. If the calculation agent determines that no market disruption event has taken place, the payment at maturity would be based on the published closing price per share of the XLK Shares on the final observation date, even if the XLK Shares’ shares are underperforming the share underlying index or the component securities of the share underlying index and/or trading below the net asset value per share of the XLK Shares.

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

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, it is reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for 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. Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule, such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the securities for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. Because the securities are linked to shares of an exchange-traded fund, although the matter is not clear, there is a risk that an investment in the securities will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” under Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If this treatment applies, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain of the U.S. Holder in respect of the securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income (in which case an interest charge will be imposed). As a result of certain features of the securities, including the leveraged upside payment and the fact that the securities are linked to indices in addition to an exchange-traded fund, it is unclear how to calculate the amount of gain that would be recharacterized if an investment in the securities were treated as a constructive ownership transaction. Due to the lack of governing authority, our counsel is unable to opine as to whether or how Section 1260 of the Code applies to the securities. U.S. investors should read the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Possible Application of Section 1260 of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement for auto-callable securities for additional information and consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule. We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, 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 Code 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, 2027 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 potential application of the constructive ownership rule, 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 XLK Shares, in stocks constituting the INDU Index, the RTY Index or the Technology Select Sector Index and in futures and/or options contracts on the XLK Shares, the INDU Index, the RTY Index, the Technology Select Sector Index or their component 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 level of an underlying and, therefore, could increase (i) the value at or above which such underlying 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 underlyings) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying, which is the value at or above which such underlying must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the securities, including on the final determination date, by purchasing and selling the XLK Shares, the stocks constituting the INDU Index, the RTY Index or Technology Select Sector Index, futures or options contracts on the XLK Shares, the INDU Index, the XLK Index, the Technology Select Sector Index or their component stocks listed on major securities markets or by taking positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the 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 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:	Selected dealers, which may include our affiliates, and their financial advisors will collectively receive from the agent a fixed sales commission of $25 for each security they sell. 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

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.
Validity of the securities:	In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to MSFL and Morgan Stanley, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by MSFL, authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such securities will be valid and binding obligations of MSFL and the related guarantee will be a valid and binding obligation of Morgan Stanley, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above and (ii) any provision of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of Morgan Stanley’s obligation under the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture and its authentication of the securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated February 26, 2024, which is Exhibit 5-a to Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by Morgan Stanley on February 26, 2024.
