Estimated Value of the Securities

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than $1,000. Our estimate of the value of the securities as determined on the pricing date will be within the range specified on the cover hereof and will be set forth on the cover of the final pricing supplement.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the underliers. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underliers, instruments based on the underliers, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

What determines the economic terms of the securities?

In determining the economic terms of the securities, we use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than our secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underliers, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market during the amortization period specified herein, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underliers, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

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

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity if we do not redeem the securities based on the output of a risk neutral valuation model prior to maturity. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. You will receive a fixed coupon on each coupon payment date at the annual rate specified on the cover of this document, regardless of the performance of each underlier . The payment at maturity will be determined by reference to the closing level of each underlier on the observation date. The actual initial level, and downside threshold level for each underlier will be determined on the strike date. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk. The numbers in the hypothetical examples below may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The below examples are based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount: $1,000 per security
Hypothetical initial level: With respect to the NDX Index, 100.00 With respect to the RTY Index, 100.00 With respect to the SPX Index, 100.00*
Hypothetical downside threshold level: With respect to the NDX Index, 70.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the RTY Index, 70.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level With respect to the SPX Index, 70.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level
Hypothetical fixed coupon : 10.10% per annum (corresponding to approximately $8.417 per interest period per security). The actual fixed coupon will be an amount determined by the calculation agent based on the number of days in the applicable payment period, calculated on a 30/360 day-count basis.

*The hypothetical initial level of 100.00 for each underlier has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual initial level of any underlier. Please see “Historical Information” below for historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the underliers.

How to calculate the payment at maturity (if the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity):

The hypothetical examples below illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity if we do not redeem the securities based on the output of a risk neutral valuation model prior to maturity.

Final Level of the NDX Index Final Level of the RTY Index Final Level of the SPX Index Payment at Maturity per Security (in addition to the fixed coupon of $8.417 with respect to the final interest period)
Example #1 110.00 ( greater than or equal to its downside threshold level) 105.00 ( greater than or equal to its downside threshold level) 115.00 ( greater than or equal to its downside threshold level) $1,000
Example #2 100.00 ( greater than or equal to its downside threshold level) 45.00 ( less than its downside threshold level) 105.00 ( greater than or equal to its downside threshold level) $1,000 × performance factor of the worst performing underlier = $1,000 × (45.00 / 100.00) = $450.00

In example #1, the final level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity, in addition to the fixed coupon with respect to the final interest period, the stated principal amount. Investors do not participate in any appreciation of any underlier.

In example #2, the final level of at least one underlier is less than its downside threshold level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity, in addition to the fixed coupon with respect to the final interest period, a payment that reflects a loss of 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the level of the worst performing underlier.

If the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlier is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlier at maturity, and your payment at maturity will be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero.

Risk Factors

This section describes the material risks relating to the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement, tax supplement and prospectus. We also urge you to consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities

On the other hand, we will be less likely to redeem the securities when the final level of any underlier is expected to be less than its downside threshold level, such that you will suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not redeem the securities prior to maturity, it is more likely that you will suffer a significant loss at maturity. Under no circumstances will we redeem the securities prior to the first redemption date.

[if IE]<![endif] o [if IE]<![endif] the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underliers;

[if IE]<![endif] o [if IE]<![endif] interest and yield rates in the market;

Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the other factors described above. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if, at the time of sale, the closing level of any underlier is at, below or not sufficiently above its downside threshold level , or if market interest rates rise.

You can review the historical closing levels of the underliers in the section of this document called “Historical Information.” You cannot predict the future performance of an underlier based on its historical performance. The values of the underliers may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. There can be no assurance that the final level of each underlier will be greater than or equal to its downside threshold level so that you do not suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities.

Page 7

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the securities less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market during the amortization period specified herein, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underliers, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

Risks Relating to the Underlier(s)

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

In engaging in certain activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities.

Additional Information About the Securities

Additional Information:
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000 / 1 security
United States federal income tax considerations: You should review carefully the section in the accompanying tax supplement entitled “United States Federal Taxation.” The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities offered by this pricing supplement. Generally, this discussion assumes that you purchased a security for cash in the original issuance at the stated issue price and does not address other circumstances specific to you, including consequences that may arise due to any other investments relating to an underlier. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these issues, including the effect any circumstances specific to you may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your ownership of a security. Due to the lack of direct legal authority, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. In the opinion of our counsel, which is based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a put option (the “Put Option”) written by you with respect to the underlier(s), secured by a cash deposit equal to the stated principal amount of the security (the “Deposit”), as described in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Program Securities Treated as Put Options and Deposits” in the accompanying tax supplement. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court might not agree with it. Moreover, because this treatment of the securities and our counsel’s opinion are based on market conditions as of the date of this preliminary pricing supplement, each is subject to confirmation on the pricing date. A different tax treatment could be adverse to you. Under the treatment of a security as a Put Option and a Deposit, a portion of each coupon made with respect to the securities will be attributable to interest on the Deposit, and the remainder will represent premium attributable to your grant of the Put Option (“Put Premium”). Amounts treated as interest on the Deposit should be taxed as ordinary interest income, while the Put Premium should not be taken into account until retirement (including an early redemption) or an earlier taxable disposition. Pursuant to this treatment, set forth below are the portions of each coupon that we have determined should be treated as attributable to interest on the Deposit and to Put Premium: Coupon Rate per Annum (1) Interest on Deposit per Annum (1) Put Premium per Annum (1) % % % (1) To be provided in the final pricing supplement We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized. In particular, due to the terms of the securities and current market conditions, there is a risk that the securities could be characterized as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case the timing and character of income recognized in respect of the securities could be different from those described herein and possibly adverse to certain investors. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Non-U.S. Holders . If you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying tax supplement), please also read the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Program Securities Not Treated as Debt Instruments” in the accompanying tax supplement. Assuming the treatment of a security as a Put Option and a Deposit is respected, subject to the discussions below and in the section of the accompanying tax supplement entitled “United States Federal Taxation,” if you are a Non-U.S. Holder of the securities, under current law you generally should not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any amount paid to you with respect to the securities, provided that (i) income in respect of the securities is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements. As discussed under “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Dividend Equivalents under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying tax supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. The

Page 14

Treasury regulations, as modified by an IRS notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta” of one. Based on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not apply to the securities with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the final pricing supplement for the securities. While we currently do not intend to withhold on payments on the securities to Non-U.S. Holders (subject to compliance with the applicable certification requirements and the discussion in the section entitled “FATCA” in the accompanying tax supplement), in light of the uncertain treatment of the securities other persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the securities may treat some or all of each coupon payment on a security as subject to withholding tax at a rate of 30%. Moreover, it is possible that in the future we may determine that we should withhold at a rate of 30% on coupon payments on the securities. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
Additional considerations: Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly.
