General Information
Listing: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP: 617482VG6
ISIN: US617482VG62
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000 / 1 note
Tax considerations: The notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders.” Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. taxable investor, you generally will be subject to annual income tax based on the “comparable yield” (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) of the notes, even though no interest is payable on the notes. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. taxable investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally will be treated as ordinary income. We have determined that the “comparable yield” for the notes is a rate of 3.8911% per annum, compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the “projected payment schedule” for a note (assuming an issue price of $1,000) consists of a single projected amount equal to $1,272.4171 due at maturity. You should read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes. The following table states the amount of original issue discount (“OID”) (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a note) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a note for each accrual period (assuming a day count convention of 30 days per month and 360 days per year), based upon the comparable yield set forth above.
ACCRUAL PERIOD OID DEEMED TO ACCRUE DURING ACCRUAL PERIOD (PER NOTE) TOTAL OID DEEMED TO HAVE ACCRUED FROM ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE (PER NOTE) AS OF END OF ACCRUAL PERIOD
Original Issue Date through June 30, 2011 $1.7294 $1.7294
July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 $19.4891 $21.2185

January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 $20.6489 $81.9906
July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 $21.0507 $103.0413
January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 $21.4602 $124.5015
July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 $21.8777 $146.3792
January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015 $22.3034 $168.6826

July 1, 2017 through the Maturity Date $10.0965 $272.4171
The comparable yield and the projected payment schedule are not provided for any purpose other than the determination of U.S. Holders’ accruals of OID and adjustments thereto in respect of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we make no representation regarding the actual amount of the payment that will be made on a note.
If you are a non-U.S. investor, please also read the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”
You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
Trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon
Agent: Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”).
Calculation agent: Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”)
Use of proceeds and hedging: The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. On or prior to the pricing date, we, through our affiliates or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by taking positions in the basket commodities and in futures and/or options contracts on such basket commodities. Such purchase activity could have increased the prices of the basket commodities on the pricing date, and, therefore, could have increased the commodity prices required on the determination date before investors would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the stated principal amount of the notes. For further information, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Based on the Performance of a Basket Consisting of Five Commodities

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”) (a “Plan”), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the notes. 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 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”). Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the notes 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 notes 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 such 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 notes. 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 notes and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the notes 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 exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the notes. Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the notes 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 notes will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the notes that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such notes 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 and 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 the notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief. Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the notes do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any notes 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 notes if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of notes by the account, plan or annuity.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Hypothetical Payout on the Notes

At maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount of notes that you hold, you will receive the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, calculated on the determination date as follows:

(i) $1,000 times (ii) the participation rate times (iii) the basket performance, provided that the supplemental redemption amount will not be less than zero.

The following example is based on the hypothetical values set forth below. The hypothetical basket performance reflects 15% appreciation in the value of the commodities basket.

Hypothetical basket performance: 15%
Participation rate: 100%
Supplemental redemption amount per note: $1,000 × 100% × 15% = $150

In the example above, the total payment at maturity per note would equal $1,150, which is the sum of the stated principal amount of $1,000 and a supplemental redemption amount of $150.

The table below illustrates the payment at maturity (including, where relevant, the payment of the supplemental redemption amount) for a hypothetical range of basket performance and does not cover the complete range of possible payouts at maturity.

Payment at Maturity

Repayment of principal at maturity. At maturity, we will pay you at least $1,000 plus the supplemental redemption amount, if any. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal at maturity, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

The supplemental redemption amount based on the basket performance. The supplemental redemption amount will be equal to the product of $1,000 times the participation rate times the basket performance, but not be less than zero. If the basket performance is positive (indicating that the basket has appreciated in value), the supplemental redemption amount will be calculated as follows:

supplemental redemption amount = $1,000 × participation rate × basket performance

where, — participation rate = 100%
basket performance = Sum of the commodity performance values of each of the basket commodities
commodity performance value = final commodity price – initial commodity price × weighting
initial commodity price

If the basket performance is negative, the supplemental redemption amount will be zero.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the notes. For further discussion of these and other risks you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The notes are not secured debt and investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying commodity basket.

§ The notes may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity. If the basket performance is less than or equal to 0%, you will receive only the stated principal amount of $1,000 for each note you hold at maturity.

§ The notes do not pay interest. Because the supplemental redemption amount due at maturity may equal zero, the return on an investment in the notes may be zero and, therefore, less than the amount that would be paid on an ordinary debt security. Moreover, if the underlying commodities basket does not appreciate sufficiently over the term of the notes, the overall return on the notes (the effective yield to maturity) may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity. The notes have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates in exchange for a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the performance of the underlying commodities basket.

§ Market price of the notes may be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the notes in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in the secondary market, including: the market prices of each of the basket commodities and futures contracts on such basket commodities; the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the basket commodities; trends of supply and demand for the basket commodities; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events; interest and yield rates in the market; time remaining to maturity; and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. 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 notes will vary and may be less than the original issue price at any time prior to maturity and sale of the notes prior to maturity may result in a loss.

§ The notes 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 notes. You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the notes 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 notes.

§ Specific commodities prices are affected by numerous factors specific to each market. For more information on aluminum, brent, copper, nickel and zinc, please see “Annex I—Certain Additional Commodity and Commodity Index Risks” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

§ The notes will not be listed and secondary trading may be limited. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes 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 notes, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the notes. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.

§ Investments linked to commodities are subject to sharp fluctuations in commodity prices. Investments, such as the notes, linked to the prices of commodities, are subject to sharp fluctuations in the prices of commodities and related contracts over short periods of time for a variety of factors, including: changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; climatic events; the occurrence of natural disasters; wars; political and civil upheavals; acts of terrorism; trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies; technological developments; changes in interest rates; and trading activities in commodities

and related contracts. These factors may affect the commodity prices of the basket commodities and the value of your notes in varying and potentially inconsistent ways. As a result of these or other factors, the prices of the basket commodities may be, and have recently been, highly volatile (see “Historical Information” beginning on page 13).

§ Changes in the value of one or more of the basket commodities may offset each other . Price movements in the basket commodities may not correlate with each other. At a time when the price of one or more of the basket commodities increases, the price of one or more of the other basket commodities may increase to a lesser extent or may decline. Therefore, in calculating the basket performance, increases in the value of one or more of the basket commodities may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or declines in the value of one or more of the other basket commodities.

§ Suspension or disruptions of market trading in the basket commodities and related futures markets may adversely affect the value of the notes. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices which may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a different price. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could adversely affect the value of the basket commodities and, therefore, the value of the notes.

§ Not equivalent to investing directly in the basket commodities . Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any of the basket commodities or in futures contracts or forward contracts on any of the basket commodities. Decreases in the levels of certain of the basket commodities on the determination date could more than offset any increase in levels of other basket commodities on the determination date. A decrease in the levels of any of the basket commodities may have a material adverse effect on the value of the notes and the return on an investment in the notes.

Furthermore, by purchasing the notes, you do not purchase any entitlement to any of the basket commodities or to futures contracts or forward contracts on any of the basket commodities. Also, by purchasing the notes, you are taking credit risk of Morgan Stanley and are not to any counter-party to futures contracts and forward contracts on any of the basket commodities.

§ There are risks relating to the trading of metals on the London Metal Exchange. The official cash offer prices of aluminum, copper, nickel and zinc are determined by reference to the per unit U.S. dollar cash offer prices of contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange, which we refer to as the LME. The LME is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to the over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LME, which would otherwise restrict the extent of daily fluctuations in the prices of LME contracts. In a declining market, therefore, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. In addition, a contract may be entered into on the LME calling for delivery on any day from one day to three months following the date of such contract and for monthly delivery in any of the next 16 to 24 months (depending on the commodity) following such third month, in contrast to trading on futures exchanges, which call for delivery in stated delivery months. As a result, there may be a greater risk of a concentration of positions in LME contracts on particular delivery dates, which in turn could cause temporary aberrations in the prices of LME contracts for certain delivery dates. If such aberrations occur on the determination date, the per unit U.S. dollar cash offer prices used to determine the official cash offer price of certain basket commodities, and consequently the supplemental redemption amount, could be adversely affected.

§ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the notes. As calculation agent, MSCG has determined the initial commodity price and will determine the final commodity price of each basket commodity, the basket performance and calculate the amount of cash 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 and the calculation of any settlement price in the event of a market disruption event, may affect the payout to you at maturity.

§ The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase the notes 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 notes and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes 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 notes or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

§ Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes. One or more of our subsidiaries have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the notes (and to other instruments linked to the basket commodities), including trading in futures contracts on the basket commodities, and possibly in other instruments related to the basket commodities. Some of our subsidiaries also trade the basket commodities and other financial instruments related to the basket commodities on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer, commodity trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial commodity prices of the basket commodities and, as a result, could have increased the commodity prices required on the determination date before you would receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the notes. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes could adversely affect the final commodity prices and, accordingly, the amount of cash you will receive at maturity.
