Autocallable Quarterly Review Notes due May 8, 2014

Based on the Performance of Palladium

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Autocallable Quarterly Review Notes due May 8, 2014 Based on the Performance of Palladium, which we refer to as the securities, do not pay interest and do not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity. If the price of palladium, which we refer to as the underlying commodity, on any of the first three review dates is at or above the specified call level, the securities will be automatically called for a fixed cash payment per security, which we refer to as the call price, that will vary depending on the review date. If the securities are not called prior to maturity, you will receive at maturity for each security you hold an amount in cash that will vary depending on the underlying commodity price on the final review date, and which may be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

• The stated principal amount and original issue price of each security is $1,000.

• We will not pay interest on the securities.

• If, on any of the first three review dates, the commodity price is at or above 100% of the initial commodity price, which we refer to as the call level, the securities will be automatically called on the third business day following such review date for the applicable call price, which will vary depending on the applicable review date. The call prices were determined on May 3, 2013, the day we priced the securities for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, but will not be less than the call prices stated below for each review date:

º First review date, August 5, 2013: $1,037 (corresponding to 103.70% of the stated principal amount),

º Second review date, November 5, 2013: $1,074 (corresponding to 107.40% of the stated principal amount), or

º Third review date, February 5, 2014: $1,111 (corresponding to 111.10% of the stated principal amount)

• At maturity, if the securities have not previously been called, you will receive for each security that you hold an amount of cash equal to:

º if the commodity price on May 5, 2014, which we refer to as the final commodity price and the final review date, respectively, is at or above the call level: $1,148 (corresponding to 114.80% of the stated principal amount),

º if the final commodity price is lower than the call level but has not declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price: the $1,000 stated principal amount of the securities, or

º if the final commodity price has declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price: $1,000 + ($1,000 x commodity percent change).

There is no minimum payment on the securities, and you could lose your entire investment .

• Each review date is subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events.

• The commodity percent change is equal to:

final commodity price - initial commodity price

initial commodity price

• The initial commodity price is $694.00, which is the price of the underlying commodity on the pricing date.

• Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in palladium or in futures contracts or forward contracts on palladium.

• The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

• The CUSIP number for the securities is 6174824L5. The ISIN for the securities is US6174824L53.

You should read the more detailed description of the securities in this pricing supplement. In particular, you should review and understand the descriptions in “Summary of Pricing Supplement” and “Description of Securities.”

The securities are riskier than ordinary debt securities. Securities linked to the performance of a single commodity are subject to the volatility and other risks associated with that commodity. See “Risk Factors” beginning on PS-10.

The Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators have not approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this pricing supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT

The following summary describes the Autocallable Quarterly Review Notes due May 8, 2014 Based on the Performance of Palladium, which we refer to as the securities, in general terms only. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors.”

The securities offered are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley. The return on the securities is linked to the performance of Palladium, which we refer to as the underlying commodity. Investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of a complete loss of principal, and also be willing to forgo interest payments and potential returns above the specified returns, in exchange for the opportunity to receive the specified returns if the commodity price on any of the review dates is at or above the call level. The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity, and all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

Each security costs $1,000	We, Morgan Stanley, are offering Autocallable Quarterly Review Notes due May 8, 2014 Based on the Performance of Palladium. The stated principal amount and issue price of each security is $1,000.
	The original issue price of the securities includes the agent’s commission paid with respect to the securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. The fact that the original issue price of the securities includes these commissions and hedging costs is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the securities. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. See “Risk Factors—The inclusion of commissions and projected profit of hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices” and “Description of Securities—Use of Proceeds and Hedging.”
The securities do not guarantee repayment of any principal at maturity; no interest	Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee the repayment of any of the principal at maturity. If the securities have not been called prior to maturity and the final commodity price has declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, you will be fully exposed to the negative performance of the underlying commodity, and you will lose 1% of your principal amount for every 1% decline in the final commodity price from the initial commodity price. For example, if the final commodity price declines by 50% from the initial commodity price, you will lose 50% of your principal. There is no minimum payment on the securities, and you could lose your entire investment. The initial commodity price is $694.00, which is the price of the underlying commodity, as published by the London Platinum and Palladium Market, on May 3, 2013, the day we priced the securities for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date. The final commodity price will equal the price of the underlying commodity, as published by the London Platinum and Palladium Market, on May 5, 2014, which we refer to as the final review date, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events.
The securities will be automatically called if the	If the commodity price on any of the first three review dates is at or above 100% of the initial commodity price, which we refer to as the call level, the securities will be

The call price is an amount of cash that will vary depending on the applicable review date as follows:
	• if the commodity price on August 5, 2013, the first review date, is at or above the call level, the securities will be called for $1,037 per security (corresponding to 103.70% of the stated principal amount), or • if the commodity price on November 5, 2013, the second review date, is at or above the call level, the securities will be called for $1,074 per security (corresponding to 107.40% of the stated principal amount), or • if the commodity price on February 5, 2014, the third review date, is at or above the call level, the securities will be called for $1,111 per security (corresponding to 111.10% of the stated principal amount)
	Each review date is subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events as described under “Description of Securities—Review Dates.”
If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, the payment at maturity will vary depending on the final commodity price	At maturity, if the securities have not previously been called, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount of cash that will vary depending on the final commodity price, and will be equal to: • if the final commodity price is at or above the call level: $1,148 (corresponding to 114.80% of the stated principal amount), • if the final commodity price is lower than the call level but has not declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price: the $1,000 stated principal amount of the securities, or
	• if the final commodity price has declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price: $1,000 + ($1,000 x commodity percent change)
	where,

commodity percent change
initial commodity price

final commodity price = the price of the underlying commodity, as published by the London Platinum and Palladium Market, on the final review date, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events.

If the final commodity price declines by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, you will be fully exposed to the decline in the final commodity price from the initial commodity price. There is no minimum payment on the securities, and you could lose your entire investment. All payments on the securities upon an automatic early call or at maturity are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.
Beginning on PS-9, we have provided examples titled “Hypothetical Payouts on the Securities upon Automatic Call or at Maturity,” which explain in more detail the possible payouts on the securities on each call date and at maturity assuming a variety of hypothetical commodity prices for each review date, including the final review date. The hypothetical examples do not show every situation that can occur.

You can review the historical prices of the underlying commodity in the section of

	this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities—Historical Information” starting on PS-22. You cannot predict the future price of the underlying commodity based on its historical prices.
	Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in palladium or in futures contracts or forward contracts on palladium.
The appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the fixed returns specified for each call date and at maturity and by the automatic early call feature	The appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed return specified for each review date and at maturity, regardless of any greater price performance of the underlying commodity, which could be significant. In addition, the automatic early call feature may limit the term of your investment to as short as three months. If the securities are called prior to maturity, you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.
Postponement of maturity date	If, due to a market disruption event or otherwise, the final review date is postponed so that the final review date falls less than two business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date will be the second business day following the final review date as postponed. See “Description of Securities—Maturity Date.”
Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. will be the calculation agent	We have appointed our affiliate, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., which we refer to as MSCG, to act as calculation agent for The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank)), the trustee for our senior securities. As calculation agent, MSCG has determined the initial commodity price (and, as a result, the call level) and will determine the commodity price on each review date, whether the commodity price on any review date, including the final review date, is at or above the call level and therefore whether the securities will be called following such review date and whether a market disruption event has occurred, and will calculate the payment that you will receive upon any automatic early call or at maturity, if any.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will be the agent; conflicts of interest	The agent for the offering of the securities, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which we refer to as 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 FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account. See “Description of Securities—Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest.”

You can find a general description of our Series F medium-term note program in the accompanying prospectus supplement dated November 21, 2011 and prospectus dated November 21, 2011. We describe the basic features of this type of security in the section of the prospectus supplement called “Description of Securities—Securities Linked to Commodity Prices, Single Securities, Baskets of Securities or Indices” and in the section of the prospectus called “Description of Debt Securities—Fixed Rate Debt Securities.”
	For a detailed description of the terms of the securities, you should read the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities.” You should also read about some of the risks involved in investing in the securities in the section of this pricing supplement called “Risk Factors.” The tax and accounting treatment of investments in commodity-linked securities such as the

HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUTS EFPlaceholder ON THE SECURITIES UPON AUTOMATIC CALL OR AT MATURITY EFPlaceholder

EFPlaceholder The following examples illustrate the payout on the securities for a range of commodity prices for each of the review dates and are being provided for illustrative purposes only. These examples are based on the following terms:

• Hypothetical Initial Commodity Price: $700

• Hypothetical Call Level (100% of the initial commodity price): $700

• Call Price:

o $1,037 if the securities are automatically called in August 2013

o $1,074 if the securities are automatically called in November 2013

o $1,111 if the securities are automatically called in February 2014

• Payment at Maturity if the final commodity price is at or above the call level: $1,148

• Stated Principal Amount (per security): $1,000

• In Examples 1 through 3, the commodity price on one of the first three review dates is above the call level. However, each example results in a different payment amount because the commodity price is above the call level on different review dates. Because the commodity price on one of the first three review dates is above the call level, the securities are automatically called following the relevant review date. In each of Examples 4, 5 and 6, the commodity price on each of the first three review dates is lower than the call level, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically called prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.

#2	—	—	$720	$1,074	$660	—
#3	—	—	—	—	$720	$1,111

#2	$650	—	$650	—	$650	—
#3	$670	—	$670	—	$670	—
Final review date	$910	$1,148	$630	$1,000	$420	$600
Total Payout:	$1,148 at maturity		$1,000 at maturity		$600 at maturity

• In Example 4, the final commodity price is $910, which is higher than the call level and which represents a 30% increase in the initial commodity price. The payment at maturity equals $1,148 per security, representing a 14.80% return on your investment. The return on your investment would be less than the 30% return you would receive on a comparable investment linked to the simple return on the underlying commodity.

• In Example 5, the final commodity price is $630, which is lower than the call level and which represents a 10% decline from the initial commodity price. Because the final commodity price has not declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, the payment at maturity equals the Stated Principal Amount of $1,000 per security.

• In Example 6, the final commodity price is $420, which represents a 40% decline from the initial commodity price. Because the final commodity price has declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, investors are exposed to that decline on a 1 to 1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that represents a 40% loss of their principal, calculated as follows:

$1,000 +($1,000 x commodity percent change) = $1,000 + ($1,000 x –40%) = $600

EFPlaceholder RISK FACTORS

The securities are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities, do not pay any interest and, unlike ordinary debt securities, do not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in palladium or in futures contracts or forward contracts on palladium. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the securities. For a complete list of risk factors, please see the accompanying prospectus.

The securities do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any principal at maturity	The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we do not pay you interest on the securities and do not guarantee to pay you any of the principal at maturity. Instead, if the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity, you will receive at maturity for each security you hold an amount in cash that will vary depending on the commodity price on the final review date, which we refer to as the final commodity price. If the final commodity price has declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, you will be fully exposed to the negative performance of the underlying commodity, and will lose 1% of your stated principal amount for every 1% decline in the final commodity price from the initial commodity price. For example, if the final commodity price declines by 50% from the initial commodity price, you will lose 50% of your principal. As there is no minimum payment on the securities, you could lose your entire investment.
The appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the fixed returns specified for each call date and at maturity and by the automatic early call feature	The appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed return specified for each review date and at maturity, regardless of any greater price performance of the underlying commodity, which could be significant. In addition, the automatic early call feature may limit the term of your investment to as short as three months. If the securities are called prior to maturity, you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.
Market price of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors	Several factors, some of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as MS & Co., may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market. We expect that generally the market price of the underlying commodity on any day will affect the value of the securities more than any other single factor. However, because the payout on the securities is not directly correlated to the underlying commodity, the securities will trade differently from the underlying commodity. Factors that may influence the value of the securities include: • the market price of the underlying commodity and futures contracts on the underlying commodity, including in relation to the call level, and the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of such values or prices, as applicable; • trends of supply and demand for the underlying commodity at any time, as well as the effects of speculation or any government actions that could affect the markets for the underlying commodity; • interest and yield rates in the market; • geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the commodities markets generally and which may affect the price of the underlying commodity; • the time remaining until the next review date and the maturity of the securities; and • any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

PS-10

	In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government intervention. As a result, the market value of the securities will vary and may be less than the original issue price at any time prior to maturity, and a sale of the securities prior to maturity may result in a loss. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial loss if on that date the commodity price is below the call level. You cannot predict the future prices of the underlying commodity based on its historical prices. If the securities are not called prior to maturity and the final commodity price declines by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, you will be fully exposed to any decline in the final commodity price from the initial commodity price and, as a result, you may lose some or all of your investment at maturity. There can be no assurance that the securities will be called prior to maturity or that the final commodity price will be at or above the call level such that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the principal amount of your investment.
The securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley, and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities	You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its 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 Morgan Stanley’s creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in Morgan Stanley’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Morgan Stanley credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities.
The return on the securities is linked to a single commodity, and the price of palladium may change unpredictably and affect the value of the securities in unforeseeable ways	Investments, such as the securities, linked to the price of a single commodity, such as palladium, are subject to sharp fluctuations in the prices of the commodity over short periods of time for a variety of factors. The price of palladium has fluctuated widely over the past several years. Because the palladium supply is both limited and concentrated, any disruptions in the supply of palladium tend to have a disproportionate effect on the price of palladium. Key factors that may influence prices are the mining policies and production costs in the most important palladium-producing countries, in particular, Russia, South Africa, the United States and Canada (which together account for over 90% of production), the size and availability of palladium stockpiles, global supply and demand as well as the level of economic activity of the main consuming countries. Investments in exchange-traded notes and funds linked to the price of palladium may also have an impact on palladium prices. The possibility of large-scale distress sales of palladium in times of crisis may also have a short-term negative impact on the price of palladium. For example, the 2008 financial crisis resulted in significantly depressed prices of palladium largely due to sales from institutional investors such as hedge funds and pension funds. Palladium is used in a variety of industries, in particular the automotive industry. Demand for palladium from the automotive industry, which uses palladium in catalytic converters, accounts for more than 50% of the industrial use of palladium, and a decline in the global automotive industry may impact the price of palladium. Palladium is also used in the electronics, dental and jewelry industries. The price of palladium may be, and has recently been, extremely volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen.
Single commodity prices tend to be more volatile than, and may not	The payment at maturity on the securities is linked exclusively to the price of palladium and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. The price of palladium may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices of commodities

PS-11

correlate with, the prices of commodities generally	generally. Because the securities are linked to the price of a single commodity, they carry greater risk and may be more volatile than a security linked to the prices of multiple commodities or a broad-based commodity index. The price of palladium may be, and has recently been, extremely volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Description of Securities — Historical Information.”
The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the performance of the underlying commodity at any time other than the review dates	Whether the securities will be called on any call date and, if the securities have not been called prior to maturity, the amount payable on the securities at maturity will be based on the commodity price on the relevant review date. Even if the underlying commodity appreciates prior to a review date but then drops by such review date so that it is lower than the call level: (i) with respect to any of the first three review dates, the securities will not be called and (ii) with respect to the final review date, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the performance of the underlying commodity prior to such drop. Although the actual commodity price on the maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than the commodity price on the review dates, the payout on the securities will be based solely on the commodity price on the review dates.
The automatic call feature may limit the term of your investment to three months	The term of your investment in the securities may be limited to as short as approximately three months by the automatic early call feature of the securities. If the securities are called prior to maturity, you may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.
The securities will not be listed and secondary trading may be limited	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. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will 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 not to make 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.
Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities	One or more of our subsidiaries have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the securities (and to other instruments linked to the underlying commodity), including trading in futures contracts on the underlying commodity. Some of our subsidiaries also trade the underlying commodity and other financial instruments related to the underlying commodity on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer, commodity trading, proprietary trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial commodity price and, as a result, the call level at or above which the commodity price must be on any of the review dates in order for the securities to be automatically called prior to maturity or, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, in order for you to receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the securities. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the price of the underlying commodity on the review dates and, accordingly, whether the securities are automatically called prior to maturity and, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, the amount of cash, if any, you receive at maturity.
The inclusion of	Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if

PS-12

commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices	any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase the securities in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since secondary market prices are likely to exclude commissions paid with respect to the securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities that are included in the original issue price. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. Our subsidiaries may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the securities or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from prices determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.
The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the securities	As calculation agent, MSCG has determined the initial commodity price (and, as a result, the call level) and will determine the commodity price on each review date, whether the commodity price on any of the first three review dates is at or above the call level and therefore whether the securities will be called following such review date and whether a market disruption event has occurred, and, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, will calculate the amount of cash, if any, you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by MSCG in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events or calculation of the commodity price in the event of a market disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you on the securities. See the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Securities—Market Disruption Event.”
Not equivalent to investing in the underlying commodity	Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying commodity or in futures contracts or forward contracts on the underlying commodity.
Legal and regulatory changes could adversely affect the return on and value of your securities	Futures contracts and options on futures contracts, including those related to the underlying commodity, are subject to extensive statutes, regulations, and margin requirements. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, commonly referred to as the “CFTC,” and the exchanges on which such futures contracts trade are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. Furthermore, certain exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuations in futures contract prices that may occur during a single five-minute trading period. These limits could adversely affect the market prices of relevant futures and options contracts and forward contracts. The regulation of commodity transactions in the U.S. is subject to ongoing modification by government and judicial action. In addition, various non-U.S. governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the commodity markets and the need to regulate the derivative markets in general. The effect on the value of the securities of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to the interests of holders of the securities. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act, which was enacted on July 21, 2010, requires the CFTC to establish limits on the amount of positions that may be held by any person in futures contracts on a commodity, options on such futures contracts and swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. In particular, on October 18, 2011, the CFTC adopted interim and final position limits that would have applied to a party’s combined futures, options and swaps position in any one of 28 physical

PS-13

	commodities and economically equivalent futures, options and swaps. These limits would have, among other things, expanded existing position limits applicable to options and futures contracts to apply to swaps and applied them across affiliated and controlled entities and accounts. However, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association jointly filed a legal challenge to the position limit rules, which were due to take effect on October 12, 2012, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. On September 28, 2012, the court vacated the position limit rules and remanded them to the CFTC. The CFTC announced on November 15, 2012 that it will appeal the court’s decision. If position limit rules are ultimately upheld in an appeal or if substantially similar rules are adopted and implemented by the CFTC, such rules could interfere with our ability to enter into or maintain hedge positions in instruments subject to the limits, and consequently, we may need to decide, or be forced, to sell a portion, possibly a substantial portion, of our hedge position in such underlying commodity or futures contracts on such underlying commodity or related contracts. Similarly, other market participants would be subject to the same regulatory issues and could decide, or be required to, sell their positions in such underlying commodity or futures contracts on such underlying commodity or related contracts. While the effect of these or other regulatory developments are difficult to predict, if this broad market selling were to occur, it would likely lead to declines, possibly significant declines, in the price of such underlying commodity or futures contracts on such underlying commodity and therefore, the value of the securities.
There are risks relating to the trading of metals on the London Platinum and Palladium Market	Palladium is traded on the London Platinum and Palladium Market, which we refer to as the LPPM. The price of palladium will be determined by reference to the fixing prices reported by the LPPM. The LPPM is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LPPM are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LPPM itself is not a regulated entity. If the LPPM should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of LPPM price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of palladium may be adversely affected. The LPPM is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LPPM trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LPPM, which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LPPM contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain	Please note that the discussions in this pricing supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities supersede the discussions contained in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Subject to the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement, 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 (“our counsel”), under current law, and based on current market conditions, each security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of income on the securities might differ significantly. For example, under one possible treatment, the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield”

Palladium is traded on the London Platinum and Palladium Market, which we refer to as the LPPM. The price of palladium will be determined by reference to the fixing prices reported by the LPPM. The LPPM is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LPPM are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LPPM itself is not a regulated entity.

In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days.

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

Please note that the discussions in this pricing supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities supersede the discussions contained in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Subject to the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement, 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 (“our counsel”), under current law, and based on current market conditions, each security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

PS-14

determined at the time of issuance (as adjusted based on the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of any contingent payments on the securities) and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. Because a security provides for the return of principal unless the final commodity price has declined by more than 20% from the initial commodity price, the risk that a security would be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a debt instrument is higher than with other commodity-linked securities that do not contain similar provisions. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement. Please read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any 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. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in this pricing supplement and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Commodity Percent Change A fraction, the numerator of which is the Final Commodity Price minus the Initial Commodity Price and the denominator of which is the Initial Commodity Price, as described by the following formula:

Commodity Percent Change
Initial Commodity Price

Commodity Price	On any day, the afternoon fixing price per troy ounce gross of palladium for delivery in Zurich through a member of the London Platinum and Palladium Market (“LPPM”) authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated and published by the Relevant Exchange on such date.
	Reuters and various other third party sources may report prices of the Underlying Commodity. If any such reported price differs from that as determined and published by the Relevant Exchange, the price as published by such Relevant Exchange will prevail.
Initial Commodity Price	$694.00, which is the Commodity Price on the Pricing Date.
	If the Initial Commodity Price as finally published by the Relevant Exchange differs from the relevant Initial Commodity Price specified in the pricing supplement, we will include the definitive Initial Commodity Price in an amended pricing supplement.
Final Commodity Price	The Commodity Price on the final Review Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Review Dates	August 5, 2013 (first Review Date), November 5, 2013 (second Review Date), February 5, 2014 (third Review Date) and May 5, 2014 (final Review Date); provided that if any scheduled Review Date is not a Trading Day with respect to the Underlying Commodity or if a Market Disruption Event occurs on any scheduled Review Date, such Review Date will be postponed and the Commodity Price will be determined on the immediately succeeding Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs. The Commodity Price as of any Review Date will not be determined on a date later than the third scheduled Trading Day following the relevant scheduled Review Date. If such date is not a Trading Day with respect to the Underlying Commodity or if there is a Market Disruption Event on such date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Commodity Price as of the relevant Review Date on such third scheduled Trading Day by requesting the principal office of each of the three leading dealers in the relevant market, selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide a quotation for the relevant price. If such quotations are provided as requested, the Commodity Price as of the relevant Review Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, such Commodity Price shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (acting in good faith) taking into account any information that it deems relevant.

PS-18

Market Disruption Event	Market Disruption Event means any of Price Source Disruption, Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price, Trading Disruption or Tax Disruption, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
Price Source Disruption	Price Source Disruption means the temporary or permanent failure of the Relevant Exchange to announce or publish the Commodity Price.
Disappearance of Commodity
Reference Price	Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price means either (i) the failure of trading to commence, or the permanent discontinuance of trading, in the Underlying Commodity or futures contracts related to the Underlying Commodity on the Relevant Exchange or (ii) the disappearance of, or of trading in, the Underlying Commodity.
Trading Disruption	Trading Disruption means the material suspension of, or material limitation imposed on, trading in the Underlying Commodity or futures contracts related to the Underlying Commodity on the Relevant Exchange.
Tax Disruption	Tax Disruption means the imposition of, change in or removal of an excise, severance, sales, use, value-added, transfer, stamp, documentary, recording or similar tax on, or measured by reference to, the Underlying Commodity (other than a tax on, or measured by reference to overall gross or net income) by any government or taxation authority after the Pricing Date, if the direct effect of such imposition, change or removal is to raise or lower the Commodity Price of the Underlying Commodity on any day that would otherwise be a Review Date from what it would have been without that imposition, change or removal.
Business Day	Any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.
Relevant Exchange	Relevant Exchange means the LPPM or, if the LPPM is no longer the principal exchange or trading market for Palladium, such exchange or principal trading market for Palladium that serves as the source of prices for Palladium and any principal exchanges where options or futures contracts on Palladium are traded.
Trading Day	Trading Day means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, that is a day on which the Relevant Exchange is open for trading during its regular trading session, notwithstanding any such Relevant Exchange closing prior to its scheduled closing time.
Book Entry Note or
Certificated Note	Book Entry. The Securities will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global securities which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and will be registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. DTC’s nominee will be the only registered holder of the Securities. Your beneficial interest in the Securities

	will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of the securities intermediary acting on your behalf as a direct or indirect participant in DTC. In this pricing supplement, all references to actions taken by “you” or to be taken by “you” refer to actions taken or to be taken by DTC and its participants acting on your behalf, and all references to payments or notices to you will mean payments or notices to DTC, as the registered holder of the Securities, for distribution to participants in accordance with DTC’s procedures.

	All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you, the Trustee and us.
	All calculations and determinations with respect to the Automatic Early Call, the Call Price and the Payment at Maturity, if any, will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward ( e.g. , .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the amount of cash payable per Security, if any, will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward ( e.g. , .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate number of Securities, if any, will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
	Because the Calculation Agent is our affiliate, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and its affiliates may be adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the Calculation Agent must make in determining the Initial Commodity Price, the Commodity Price on each Review Date, whether the Commodity Price on any Review Date is at or above the Call Level and therefore whether the Securities will be called following such Review Date, or whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred and the payment upon any Automatic Early Call or at maturity. See “––Market Disruption Event” below. MSCG is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as Calculation Agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

Alternate Exchange Calculation
in Case of an Event of Default	If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the Securities (the “Acceleration Amount”) will be an amount, determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, that is equal to the cost of having a Qualified Financial Institution, of the kind and selected as described below, expressly assume all our payment and other obligations with respect to the Securities as of that day and as if no default or acceleration had occurred, or to undertake other obligations providing substantially equivalent economic value to you with respect to the Securities. That cost will equal:
	• the lowest amount that a Qualified Financial Institution would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking, plus
	• the reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the holders of the Securities in preparing any documentation necessary for this assumption or undertaking.
	During the Default Quotation Period for the Securities, which we describe below, the holders of the Securities and/or we may request a Qualified Financial Institution to provide a quotation of the amount it would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking. If either party obtains a quotation, it must notify the other party in writing of the quotation. The amount referred to in the first bullet point above will equal the lowest—or, if there is only one, the only—quotation obtained, and as to which notice is so given, during the Default Quotation Period. With respect to any quotation, however, the party not obtaining the quotation may object, on reasonable and significant grounds, to the assumption or undertaking by the Qualified Financial Institution providing the quotation and notify the other party in writing of those grounds within two Business Days after the last day of the Default Quotation Period, in which case that quotation will be disregarded in determining the Acceleration Amount.
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of, or any analogous proceeding is filed with respect to Morgan Stanley, then depending on applicable bankruptcy law, your claim may be limited to an amount that could be less than the Acceleration Amount.
	If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default as described above, we shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the Acceleration Amount and the aggregate cash amount due, if any, with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of such acceleration.
	Default Quotation Period

PS-21

	The Default Quotation Period is the period beginning on the day the Acceleration Amount first becomes due and ending on the third Business Day after that day, unless:
	• no quotation of the kind referred to above is obtained, or
	• every quotation of that kind obtained is objected to within five Business Days after the due date as described above.
	If either of these two events occurs, the Default Quotation Period will continue until the third Business Day after the first Business Day on which prompt notice of a quotation is given as described above. If that quotation is objected to as described above within five Business Days after that first Business Day, however, the Default Quotation Period will continue as described in the prior sentence and this sentence.
	In any event, if the Default Quotation Period and the subsequent two Business Day objection period have not ended before the final Review Date, then the Acceleration Amount will equal the principal amount of the Securities.
	Qualified Financial Institutions
	For the purpose of determining the Acceleration Amount at any time, a Qualified Financial Institution must be a financial institution organized under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or Europe, which at that time has outstanding debt obligations with a stated maturity of one year or less from the date of issue and rated either:
	• A-2 or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that rating agency, or
	• P-2 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that rating agency.
Hist orical Information	The following table sets forth the published high and low Commodity Prices, as well as end-of-quarter Commodity Prices, of the Underlying Commodity for each quarter in the period from January 1, 2008 through May 3, 2013. The related graph plots the daily Commodity Prices for the Underlying Commodity in the same period. The Commodity Price on May 3, 2013 was $694.00. We obtained the information in the table and graph below from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification. The Commodity Price on each Review Date will be determined with reference to the official settlement price of the Underlying Commodity, as determined pursuant to “––Commodity Price” above, rather than the prices published by Bloomberg Financial Markets on each such date. The historical performance of the Underlying Commodity set out in the table and graph below should not be taken as an indication of its future performance, and

PS-22

no assurance can be given as to the Commodity Price on any of the Review Dates. If the Securities are not automatically called prior to maturity and if the Final Commodity Price has declined by more than the Buffer Amount from the Initial Commodity Price, you will lose some or all of your initial investment at maturity. We cannot give you any assurance that the Securities will be called prior to maturity or that, if the Securities are not called, the Final Commodity Price will be at or above the Call Level so that at maturity you will receive a payment that is greater than the Stated Principal Amount of the Securities. The price of the Underlying Commodity may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging	The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Securities will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the Securities through one or more of our subsidiaries. The Original Issue Price of the Securities includes the Agent’s commission (as shown on the cover page of this pricing supplement) paid with respect to the Securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase the Securities at any time in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the Original Issue Price, since secondary market prices are likely to exclude commissions paid with respect to the Securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities that will be included in the Original Issue Price. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the cost of unwinding the related hedging transactions. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. Our subsidiaries may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the Securities or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from prices determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs. See also “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying prospectus.
	On or prior to the Pricing Date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the Securities by taking positions in futures contracts on the Underlying Commodity. Such purchase activity could have increased the Initial Commodity Price, and, as a result, the Call Level at or above which the Commodity Price must be on any of

PS-24

	the Review Dates in order for the Securities to be automatically called prior to maturity or, if the Securities are not called prior to maturity, in order for the Payment at Maturity to exceed the Stated Principal Amount of the Securities. In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the Securities by purchasing and selling futures contracts on the Underlying Commodity or positions in any other available instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by selling any such instruments on one or more Review Dates. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the Commodity Price and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the Securities, whether the Securities are called early, or the payment you will receive at maturity.
Supplemental Information Concerning
Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest	Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the U.S. distribution agreement referred to in the prospectus supplement under “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest),” the Agent, acting as principal for its own account, has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, a portion of the Aggregate Principal Amount of Securities set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. MS & Co. will act as the Agent for this offering. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acting as dealer, will receive from the Agent, a fixed sales commission of 1% for each Security it sells. In addition, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will purchase the a portion of the Aggregate Principal Amount of Securities from the Agent for sales to certain fiduciary accounts at a purchase price to such accounts of 99% of the Stated Principal Amount per Security and will forgo any sales commission with respect to such sales. After the initial offering of the Securities, the Agent may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time.
	MS & Co. is our wholly-owned subsidiary. 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 FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account.
	In order to facilitate the offering of the Securities, the Agent may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Securities. Specifically, the Agent may sell more Securities than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the Securities for its own account. The Agent must close out any naked short position by purchasing the Securities in the open market after the offering. A naked short position in the Securities is more likely to be created if the Agent is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the

PS-25

Agent may bid for, and purchase, Securities or futures contracts or other instruments on the Underlying Commodity in the open market to stabilize the price of the Securities. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Securities above independent market prices or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Securities. The Agent is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.
General

Validity of the Securities	In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to Morgan Stanley, when the Securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Morgan Stanley, authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Securities will be valid and binding obligations 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 the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the Senior Debt Indenture and its authentication of the Securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Senior Debt Indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated November

PS-28

	21, 2011, which is Exhibit 5-a to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by Morgan Stanley on November 21, 2011.
Benefit Plan Investor Considerations	Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), which we refer to as a “plan,” should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the Securities. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the plan.
	In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co., may each be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA or a “disqualified person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) with respect to many plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also “plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the Securities are acquired by or with the assets of a plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the Securities are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.
	The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the Securities. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the Securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the plan pays no more, and receives no less, than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption). There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory

PS-29

exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the Securities.
Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many plans, the Securities may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any plan’s investment in the entity (a “plan asset entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a plan, transferee or holder of the Securities will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding thereof that either (a) it is not a plan or a plan asset entity, is not purchasing such Securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan, or with any assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding or disposition are not prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law.
Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing these Securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief.
The Securities are contractual financial instruments. The financial exposure provided by the Securities is not a substitute or proxy for, and is not intended as a substitute or proxy for, individualized investment management or advice for the benefit of any purchaser or holder of the Securities. The Securities have not been designed and will not be administered in a manner intended to reflect the individualized needs and objectives of any purchaser or holder of the Securities.
Each purchaser or holder of any Securities acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the purchaser or holder or its fiduciary has made and shall make all investment decisions for the purchaser or holder and the purchaser or holder has not relied and shall not rely in any way upon us or our affiliates to act as a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder with respect to (A) the design and terms of the Securities, (B) the purchaser or holder’s investment in the Securities, or (C) the exercise of or failure to exercise any rights we have under or with respect to the Securities;
(ii) we and our affiliates have acted and will act solely for our own account in connection with (A) all transactions relating to the

PS-30

	Securities and (B) all hedging transactions in connection with our obligations under the Securities;
	(iii) any and all assets and positions relating to hedging transactions by us or our affiliates are assets and positions of those entities and are not assets and positions held for the benefit of the purchaser or holder;
	(iv) our interests are adverse to the interests of the purchaser or holder; and
	(v) neither we nor any of our affiliates is a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder in connection with any such assets, positions or transactions, and any information that we or any of our affiliates may provide is not intended to be impartial investment advice.
	Each purchaser and holder of the Securities has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the Securities do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any Securities to any plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan.
	However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the Securities if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., MSSB or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of the Securities by the account, plan or annuity.
	Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley, MSSB or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the Securities, either directly or indirectly.
United States Federal Taxation	Prospective investors should note that the discussion under the section called “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement does not apply to the Securities issued under this pricing supplement and is superseded by the following discussion.
	The following summary is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences and certain estate tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Securities. This discussion applies only to initial investors in the Securities who:

PS-31

· purchase the Securities at their “issue price,” which will equal the first price at which a substantial amount of the Securities is sold to the public (not including bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers); and
· will hold the Securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as:
· certain financial institutions;
· insurance companies;
· certain dealers and traders in securities, commodities or foreign currencies;
· investors holding the Securities as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle,” conversion transaction or integrated transaction;
· U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
· partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
· regulated investment companies;
· real estate investment trusts;
· tax-exempt entities, including “individual retirement accounts” or “Roth IRAs” as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively; or
· persons subject to the alternative minimum tax.
As stated above, this discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances. As the law applicable to the U.S. federal income taxation of instruments such as the Securities is technical and complex, the discussion below necessarily represents only a general summary. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed, nor are any consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income.
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein. Persons considering the purchase of the Securities should consult their tax advisers with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their

PS-32

particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
General
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, under current law, and based on current market conditions, each Security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Due to the absence of statutory, judicial or administrative authorities that directly address the treatment of the Securities or instruments that are similar to the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments of the Securities) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion is based on the treatment of each Security as an open transaction.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder. As used herein , the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
· a citizen or individual resident of the United States;
· a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; or
· an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
The term “U.S. Holder” also includes certain former citizens and residents of the United States.
Tax Treatment of the Securities
Assuming the characterization of the Securities as set forth above is respected, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result.

PS-33

Tax Treatment Prior to Settlement. 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 as described below.
Tax Basis . A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Securities should equal the amount paid by the U.S. Holder to acquire the Securities.
Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the Securities. Upon a sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities, a U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or settlement and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Securities sold, exchanged or settled. Any gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities generally should be short-term capital gain or loss.
Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Securities
Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper tax treatment of the Securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the treatment described above. The IRS could, for instance, seek to treat a Security as a debt instrument. Because a Security provides for the return of principal unless the Final Commodity Price has declined by more than 20% from the Initial Commodity Price, the risk that a Security would be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a debt instrument is higher than with other commodity-linked securities that do not contain similar provisions.
If a Security were treated as a debt instrument for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments (the “Contingent Debt Regulations”). If the Contingent Debt Regulations applied to the Securities, the timing and character of income thereon would be significantly affected. Among other things, a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue into income original issue discount (“OID”) on the Securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of their issuance. Furthermore, any gain realized by a U.S. Holder at maturity or upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Securities would generally be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized at maturity would be treated as ordinary loss, to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s prior accruals of OID, and as capital loss thereafter.
Even if the Contingent Debt Regulations do not apply to the Securities, other alternative U.S. federal income tax

PS-34

treatments of the Securities are possible, which, if applied, could significantly affect the timing and character of the income or loss with respect to the Securities . In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any 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. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, including the possible implications of this notice.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Backup withholding may apply in respect of the payment of proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Securities, unless a U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. In addition, information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with the payment of proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Securities, unless the U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption from the information reporting rules.
Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means

PS-35

a beneficial owner of a Security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
· an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;
· a foreign corporation; or
· a foreign estate or trust.
The term “Non-U.S. Holder” does not include any of the following holders:
· a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
· certain former citizens or residents of the United States; or
· a holder for whom income or gain in respect of the Securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
Such holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities.
Tax Treatment upon Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the Securities
In general. Assuming the treatment of the Securities as set forth above is respected, and subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, a Non-U.S. Holder of the Securities will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder.
If all or any portion of a Security were recharacterized as a debt instrument, any payment made to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to the Security would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that:
· the Non-U.S. Holder does not own, directly or by attribution, ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;
· the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership;
· the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and
· the certification requirement described below has been fulfilled with respect to the beneficial owner.
Certification Requirement. The certification requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph will be fulfilled if the beneficial owner of a Security (or a financial institution

PS-36

holding a Security on behalf of the beneficial owner) furnishes an IRS Form W-8BEN, on which the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person.
In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues might affect the withholding tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Non-U.S. Holders should note that we currently do not intend to withhold on any payments made with respect to the Securities to Non-U.S. Holders (subject to compliance by such holders with certification necessary to establish an exemption from backup withholding). However, in the event of a change of law or any formal or informal guidance by the IRS, the U.S. Treasury Department or Congress, we may decide to withhold on payments made with respect to the Securities to Non-U.S. Holders, and we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal withholding and income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax
Individual Non-U.S. Holders and entities the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty exemption, the Securities are likely to be treated as U.S. situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax. Prospective investors that are non-U.S. individuals, or are entities of the type described above, should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of an investment in the Securities.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with payment on the Securities at maturity as well as in connection with the payment of proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition. A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding in respect of amounts paid to

PS-37

the Non-U.S. Holder, unless such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establishes an exemption. Compliance with the certification procedures described above under “ ― Tax Treatment upon Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the Securities ― Certification Requirement” will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.
The discussion in the preceding paragraphs, insofar as it purports to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Securities .
