Morgan Stanley

Issue of USD 2,000,000 Equity-Linked Notes

under the Program for the Issuance of Notes, Series A and B, Warrants and Certificates

The Base Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (each, a "Relevant Member State") (and any amendments, including Directive 2010/73/EU (the "2010 PD Amending Directive"), to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of the Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Distribution Agent to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Distribution Agent has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in any other circumstances.

THE NOTES ARE SENIOR UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS OF MORGAN STANLEY, AND ALL PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES, INCLUDING THE REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF MORGAN STANLEY. THE NOTES ARE NOT BANK DEPOSITS AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, NOR ARE THEY OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED BY, A BANK.

PART A – CONTRACTUAL TERMS

THE NOTES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ARE SUBJECT TO U.S. TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS. THE NOTES DESCRIBED HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR DELIVERED AT ANY TIME, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN either REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR, IN THE CASE OF FTRO NOTES, THE UNITED STATESINTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED). SEE "SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE" AND "NO OWNERSHIP BY U.S. PERSONS" IN THE BASE PROSPECTUS DATED 7 JUNE 2012. IN PURCHASING THE NOTES, PURCHASERS WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT THEY ARE NEITHER LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES NOR A U.S. PERSON AND THAT THEY ARE NOT PURCHASING FOR, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY SUCH PERSON. THE NOTES ARE NOT RATED.

This document constitutes Final Terms relating to the issue of Notes described herein. Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Terms and Conditions of the English Law Notes set forth in the Base Prospectus dated 7 June 2012 and the supplement to the Base Prospectus dated 25 June 2012, which together constitute a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC) (the "Prospectus Directive"). This document constitutes the Final Terms of the Notes described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and must be read in conjunction with such Base Prospectus. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Notes is only available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectuses. Copies of the Base Prospectuses are available from the offices of Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc at 25 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4QA.

Information Concerning Investment Risk

Noteholders and prospective purchasers of Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. The amount payable on redemption of the Notes is linked to the performance of the Underlying (as defined herein), and may be less than par. Given the highly specialised nature of these Notes, Morgan Stanley (the "Issuer") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSI plc") consider that they are only suitable for highly

Series 7136


sophisticated investors who are able to determine for themselves the risk of an investment linked to the Underlying, are willing to take risks and can absorb the partial or complete loss of their initial investment. Consequently, if you are not an investor who falls within the description above you should not consider purchasing these Notes without taking detailed advice from a specialised professional adviser.

Potential investors are urged to consult with their legal, regulatory, investment, accounting, tax and other advisors with regard to any proposed or actual investment in these Notes. Please see the Base Prospectus for a full detailed description of the Notes and in particular, please review the Risk Factors associated with these Notes.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS: A Non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. withholding tax unless the beneficial owner of the note (or a financial institution holding the note on behalf of the beneficial owner) furnishes a Form W-8BEN, on which the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person. If withholding or deduction of taxes is required by law, payments on the notes will be made net of applicable withholding taxes, and we will not be required to pay any additional amounts to Non-U.S. holders with respect to any taxes withheld.

Possible Application of Section 871(m) of the US Internal Revenue Code: Because the Notes are linked to a U.S. stock, amounts paid in respect of the Notes may be treated as determined by reference to U.S.-source dividends and, therefore, certain payments on the Notes could be subject to U.S. withholding tax (up to 30%, depending on the applicable treaty) under Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The U.S. Treasury Department recently released proposed regulations under Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. While significant aspects of the application of these regulations to the Notes are uncertain, Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates (or other paying agents) may be required to withhold on amounts paid to non-U.S. holders in respect of the Notes to the extent payments are treated as determined by reference to a dividend on a U.S. stock. If withholding is so required, Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

In purchasing any Notes, purchasers will be deemed to represent and undertake to the Issuer, the Dealer and each of their affiliates that (i) such purchaser understands the risks and potential consequences associated with the purchase of the Notes, (ii) that such purchaser has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, investment, accounting, tax and other advisers to extent it believes is appropriate to assist it in understanding and evaluating the risks involved in, and the consequences of, purchasing the Notes and (iii) in accordance with the terms set out in Annex 2.

Morgan Stanley is not qualified to give legal, tax or accounting advice to its clients and does not purport to do so in this document. Clients are urged to seek the advice of their own professional advisers about the consequences of the proposals contained herein.

US Treasury Circular 230 Notice - Morgan Stanley does not render advice on tax and tax accounting matters to clients. This material was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by any taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under U.S. federal tax laws.
