Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
|
■Linked to the lowest performing of the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund, the Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund (each referred to as an “underlying” or a “Fund”)
■The securities offered are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not guarantee the payment of interest, do not guarantee the repayment of principal and are subject to potential automatic call prior to the maturity date upon the terms described below. The securities have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for principal at risk securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document.
■Contingent Coupon. The securities will pay a contingent coupon on a monthly basis until the earlier of the maturity date or automatic call if, and only if, the closing price of the lowest performing underlying on the calculation day for that month is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price. However, if the closing price of the lowest performing underlying on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon for the relevant month. If the closing price of the lowest performing underlying is less than its coupon threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupons throughout the entire term of the securities. The coupon threshold price for each underlying is equal to 70% of its starting price. The contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be at least 8.00% per annum.
■Automatic Call. Beginning after six months, the securities will be automatically called if the closing price of each underlying on any of the calculation days (other than the final calculation day) is greater than or equal to its respective starting price for a cash payment equal to the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been called.
■Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called, you will receive the face amount at maturity if, and only if, the closing price of each underlying on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold price. If the closing price of any underlying on the final calculation day is less than its respective downside threshold price, investors will be fully exposed to the decline in the lowest performing underlying on a 1-to-1 basis, and will receive a maturity payment amount that is less than 60% of the face 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 and also the risk of not receiving any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of the securities.
■Because all payments on the securities are based on the lowest performing underlying, a decline beyond the respective coupon threshold price or respective downside threshold price of any underlying will result in no contingent coupon payments or a significant loss of your investment, as applicable, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much.
■The securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal based on the lowest performing of three underlyings and who seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no contingent coupon payments over the entire term of the securities.
■Investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying.
■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 securities included in any of the underlyings.

The current estimated value of the securities is approximately $965.20 per security, or within $30.00 of that estimate. 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. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” on page 4.
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators have not approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this document or the accompanying product supplement, index supplement and prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The securities are not deposits or savings accounts and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.
