General Information
Listing: The Bear Market PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP: 61760E440
ISIN: US61760E4402
Minimum ticketing size: 100 Bear Market PLUS
Tax considerations: Although the issuer believes that, under current law, the Bear Market PLUS should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS.
Assuming this treatment of the Bear Market PLUS is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result based on current law:
§ A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the Bear Market PLUS prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.
§ Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the Bear Market PLUS at maturity, a U.S. Holder should recognize short-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Bear Market PLUS.
On December 7, 2007, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may well include the Bear Market PLUS. 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” regime, 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 Bear Market PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the Bear Market PLUS should read the discussion under “Risk Factors” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the issues presented by the aforementioned notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. Investors should note that the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS does not address the tax consequences to an investor holding the Bear Market PLUS as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle,” wash sale, conversion transaction, integrated transaction or constructive sale transaction. An investor who holds any securities the return on which is based on or linked to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index or any component thereof should discuss with its tax adviser the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS (including the potential application of the “straddle” rules).
Trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.)
Calculation agent: Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”)
Use of proceeds and hedging: The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Bear Market PLUS will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS through one or more of our subsidiaries. On or prior to the pricing date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the Bear Market PLUS by taking positions in the underlying shares, in futures and options contracts on the underlying shares, the share underlying index or any component stocks of the share underlying index. Such activities could have decreased the price of the underlying shares on the pricing date, and therefore could have decreased the price at which

June 2011 Page 3

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund due December 27, 2011 Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

the underlying shares must close on the valuation date before investors would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the principal amount of the Bear Market PLUS. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS.
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 Bear Market PLUS. 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”). 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 Bear Market PLUS 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 Bear Market PLUS 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 Code Section 4975 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 Bear Market PLUS. 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 exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the Bear Market PLUS. Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the Bear Market PLUS 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 Bear Market PLUS will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the Bear Market PLUS that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such Bear Market PLUS 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 Bear Market PLUS 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 Bear Market PLUS has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the Bear Market PLUS do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any Bear Market PLUS to any Plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our

June 2011 Page 4

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund due December 27, 2011 Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

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 Bear Market PLUS 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 the Bear Market PLUS by the account, plan or annuity.
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest: The agent may distribute the Bear Market PLUS through MSSB, as selected dealer, or other dealers, which may include Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”) and Bank Morgan Stanley AG. MSSB, MSIP and Bank Morgan Stanley AG are affiliates of Morgan Stanley. Selected dealers, including MSSB, and their financial advisors will receive from the Agent, MS & Co., a fixed sales commission of $0.12 for each Bear Market PLUS they sell. 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. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS.

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.

Bear Market PLUS Payoff Diagram

How it works

§ If the final share price is less than the initial share price, then investors would receive the $10 stated principal amount plus 200% of the decline in the underlying shares over the term of the Bear Market PLUS, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. In the payoff diagram, an investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a final share price of 94.5% of the initial share price.

§ If the underlying shares depreciate 3%, the investor would receive a 6% return, or $10.60.

§ If the underlying shares depreciate 8%, the investor would receive only the maximum payment at maturity of 111% of the stated principal amount, or $11.10.

§ If the final share price is greater than or equal to the initial share price, the investor would receive an amount less than or equal to the $10 stated principal amount, based on a 1% loss of principal for each 1% increase in the underlying shares, subject to the minimum payment at maturity of $1.00.

§ If the underlying shares appreciate 10%, the investor would lose 10% of their principal and receive only $9 per Bear Market PLUS at maturity, or 90% of the stated principal amount.

§ If the underlying shares appreciate 95%, the investor would receive the minimum payment at maturity of 10% of the stated principal amount, or $1.00.

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund due December 27, 2011 Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

Payment at Maturity

At maturity, investors will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of Bear Market PLUS that they hold an amount in cash based upon the closing price of the underlying shares on the valuation date, determined as follows:

If the final share price is less than the initial share price , investors will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of Bear Market PLUS that they hold a payment at maturity equal to:

$10 + enhanced downside payment,

subject to the maximum payment at maturity of $11.10 or 111% of the stated principal amount of $10 for each Bear Market PLUS,

where,

enhanced downside payment = $10 × 200% × share percent decrease

and

share percent decrease
initial share price

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the initial share price , investors will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of Bear Market PLUS that they hold a payment at maturity equal to:

$10 – upside reduction amount

subject to the minimum payment at maturity of $1.00, or 10% of the stated principal amount of $10 for each Bear Market PLUS,

where,

upside reduction amount = $10 × share percent increase

and

share percent increase
initial share price

Because the upside reduction amount will be greater than or equal to $0, the payment at maturity in this case will be less than or equal to $10, subject to the minimum payment at maturity.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Bear Market PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-22 of the prospectus supplement for PLUS and on page 5 of the prospectus. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Bear Market PLUS.

§ Bear Market PLUS do not pay interest and provide for a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of principal. The terms of the Bear Market PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the Bear Market PLUS do not pay interest and provide for a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of the stated principal amount at maturity. If the final share price is greater than the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than the $10 stated principal amount of each Bear Market PLUS by an amount proportionate to the percentage increase in the price of the underlying shares on the valuation date above the initial share price, subject to the minimum payment at maturity.

§ Appreciation potential is limited . The appreciation potential of the Bear Market PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $11.10, or 111% of the stated principal amount. Although the leverage factor provides 200% exposure to any decline in the price of the underlying shares on the valuation date below the initial share price, because the payment at maturity will be limited to 111% of the stated principal amount for the Bear Market PLUS, the percentage exposure provided by the leverage factor is progressively reduced as the final share price decreases by 5.5% from the initial share price.

§ The market price of the Bear Market PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the Bear Market PLUS in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the Bear Market PLUS in the secondary market, including:

o the trading price and volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying shares,

o dividend rates on the underlying shares and on the stocks composing the Russell 2000 ® Growth Index,

o interest and yield rates in the market,

o time remaining until the Bear Market PLUS mature,

o geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlying shares or equities markets generally and which may affect the final share price of the underlying shares,

o the occurrence of certain events affecting the underlying shares that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor, and

o any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

The price of the underlying shares may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Information about the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund — Historical Information” on page 12. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per Bear Market PLUS if you try to sell your Bear Market PLUS prior to maturity.

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

§ Investing in the Bear Market PLUS is not equivalent to taking a short position with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks underlying the Russell 2000 ® Growth Index. Investing in the Bear Market PLUS is not equivalent to taking a short position with respect to the underlying shares, the share underlying index or the stocks that constitute the share underlying index. Investors in the Bear Market PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the share underlying index.

June 2011 Page 8

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund due December 27, 2011 Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

§ Adjustments to the underlying shares or to the Russell 2000 ® Growth Index could adversely affect the value of the Bear Market PLUS. The investment adviser to the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund, BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Investment Adviser”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the Bear Market PLUS. Russell Investments, a subsidiary of Russell Investment Group is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying index. Russell Investments may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the share underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the share underlying index, and, consequently, the price of the underlying shares and the value of the Bear Market PLUS.

§ The underlying shares and the share underlying index are different . The performance of the underlying shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the share underlying index because the underlying shares will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the share underlying index. It is also possible that the underlying shares may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the share underlying index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in this fund or due to other circumstances. The iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in securities of the share underlying index and in depositary receipts representing securities of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities not included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index but which the Investment Adviser believes will help the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund track the Russell 2000 Growth Index, and in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options and swaps as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by the Investment Adviser.

§ 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 Bear Market PLUS 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 Bear Market PLUS and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Bear Market PLUS 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 Bear Market PLUS or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market 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.

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

§ Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the Bear Market PLUS. One or more of our subsidiaries have carried out, and will continue to carry out hedging activities related to the Bear Market PLUS (and possibly to other instruments linked to the underlying shares or the share underlying index), including trading in the underlying shares and in other instruments related to the underlying shares or the share underlying index. Some of our subsidiaries also trade underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the share underlying index and other financial instruments related to the share underlying index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have decreased the initial share price and, therefore, could have decreased the price at which the underlying shares must close before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the Bear Market PLUS. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the Bear

§ Market PLUS, including on the valuation date, could affect the price of the underlying shares on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

§ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the Bear Market PLUS. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial share price and will determine the final share price and will calculate the amount of cash you receive at maturity. Any of these determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the final share price in the event of a discontinuance of the share underlying index or a market disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity.

§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS are uncertain. Please read the discussion under “Fact Sheet ― General Information ― Tax considerations” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for PLUS (together the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS. If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment, the timing and character of income on the Bear Market PLUS might differ significantly from the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. For example, if the Bear Market PLUS were characterized as a short-term debt obligation, certain U.S. Holders might be required to accrue ordinary income over the term of the Bear Market PLUS before maturity, and all or a portion of the gain recognized by a U.S. Holder upon sale, exchange or settlement might be characterized as ordinary income. The issuer does not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the Bear Market PLUS, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. On December 7, 2007, the 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, which may well include the Bear Market PLUS. 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” regime, 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 Bear Market PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Bear Market PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Annex A

The Russell 2000 ® Growth Index

The Russell 2000 ® Growth Index is a sub-group of the Russell 2000 ® Index, which is an index calculated, published and disseminated by Russell Investment Group, and measures the composite price performance of stocks of 2,000 companies (the “Russell 2000 Component Stocks”) incorporated in the U.S. and its territories. All 2,000 stocks are traded on either the NYSE or NYSE Alternext US LLC or in the over-the-counter market and are the 2,000 smallest securities that form the Russell 3000 ® Index. The Russell 3000 Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies as determined by market capitalization and represents approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market. The Russell 2000 Index consists of the smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000 Index and represents a small portion of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index is designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

Selection of stocks underlying the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is a sub-group of the Russell 2000 Index. To be eligible for inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index, and, consequently, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, a company’s stocks must be listed on May 31 of a given year and Russell Investment Group must have access to documentation verifying the company’s eligibility for inclusion. Beginning September 2004, eligible initial public offerings are added to Russell U.S. Indices at the end of each calendar quarter, based on total market capitalization rankings within the market-adjusted capitalization breaks established during the most recent reconstitution. To be added to any Russell U.S. index during a quarter outside of reconstitution, initial public offerings must meet additional eligibility criteria.

Only common stocks belonging to corporations incorporated in the U.S. and its territories are eligible for inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index and, consequently, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The following securities are specifically excluded from the Russell 2000 Index: (i) stocks traded on U.S. exchanges but incorporated in other countries; (ii) preferred and convertible preferred stock, redeemable shares, participating preferred stock, warrants, rights and trust receipts; (iii) royalty trusts, limited liability companies, closed-end investment companies and limited partnerships and (iv) bulletin board, pink sheets or over-the-counter traded securities.

Russell Investment Group uses a “non-linear probability” method to assign stocks to the growth and value style indices. The term “probability” is used to indicate the degree of certainty that a stock is value or growth based on its relative book-to-price (B/P) ratio, I/B/E/S forecast medium-term growth (2 yr) and sales per share historical growth (5 yr). This method allows stocks to be represented as having both growth and value characteristics, while preserving the additive nature of the indices.

The process for assigning growth and value weights is applied separately to the stocks in the Russell 2000 Index. The stocks in the Russell 2000 Index are ranked by their adjusted book-to-price ratio (B/P), their I/B/E/S forecast medium-term growth (2 yr) and sales per share historical growth (5 yr). These rankings are converted to standardized units and combined to produce a Composite Value Score (CVS). Stocks are then ranked by their CVS, and a probability algorithm is applied to the CVS distribution to assign growth and value weights to each stock. In general, stocks with a lower CVS are considered growth, stocks with a higher CVS are considered value, and stocks with a CVS in the middle range are considered to have both growth and value characteristics, and are weighted proportionately in the growth and value index. Stocks are always fully represented by the combination of their growth and value weights, e.g., a stock that is given a 20% weight in a Russell value index will have an 80% weight in the same Russell growth index.

Stock A, in the figure below, is a security with 20% of its available shares assigned to the value index and the remaining 80% assigned to the growth index. The growth and value probabilities will always sum to 100%. Hence, the sum of a stock’s market capitalization in the growth and value index will always equal its market capitalization in the Russell 2000 Index.

June 2011 Page 14

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund due December 27, 2011 Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

In the figure above, the quartile breaks are calculated such that approximately 25% of the available market capitalization lies in each quartile. Stocks at the median are divided 50% in each style index. Stocks below the first quartile are 100% in the growth index. Stocks above the third quartile are 100% in the value index. Stocks falling between the first and third quartile breaks are in both indices to varying degrees depending on how far they are above or below the median and how close they are to the first or third quartile breaks.

Roughly 70% of the available market capitalization is classified as all growth or all value. The remaining 30% have some portion of their market value in either the value or growth index, depending on their relative distance from the median value score. Note that there is a small position cutoff rule. If a stock’s weight is more than 95% in one style index, we increase its weight to 100% in that index. This rule eliminates many small weightings and makes passive management easier.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index, along with the Russell 2000 Index, is reconstituted annually to reflect changes in the marketplace. The CVS for each company in the Russell 2000 Index is determined annually based on data as of May 31. The list of companies is ranked based on May 31 total market capitalization, with the actual reconstitution effective on the first trading day following the final Friday of June each year. Changes in the constituents are preannounced and subject to change if any corporate activity occurs or if any new information is received prior to release.

Capitalization Adjustments. As a capitalization-weighted index, the Russell 2000 Growth Index reflects changes in the capitalization, or market value, of the Russell 2000 Component Stocks relative to the capitalization on a base date. The current Russell 2000 Growth Index value is calculated by adding the market values, according to the methodology discussed above, of the Russell 2000 Index’s Component Stocks, which are derived by multiplying the price of each stock by the number of available shares, to arrive at the total market capitalization of the 2,000 stocks. The total market capitalization is then divided by a divisor, which represents the “adjusted” capitalization of the Russell 2000 Growth Index on the base date of December 31, 1986. To calculate the Russell 2000 Growth Index, last sale prices will be used for exchange-traded stocks. If a component stock is not open for trading, the most recently traded price for that security will be used in calculating the Russell 2000 Growth Index. In order to provide continuity for the Russell 2000 Growth Index’s value, the divisor is adjusted periodically to reflect events including changes in the number of common shares outstanding for Russell 2000 Component Stocks, company additions or deletions, corporate restructurings and other capitalization changes.

Available shares are assumed to be shares available for trading. Exclusion of capitalization held by other listed companies and large holdings of private investors (10% or more) is based on information recorded in corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other sources are used in cases of missing or questionable data.

The following types of shares are removed from total market capitalization to arrive at free float or available market capitalization.

§ ESOP or LESOP shares that comprise 10% or more of the shares outstanding are adjusted;

§ Corporate cross-owned shares – when shares of a company in the index are held by another company also in the index (including Russell global indexes), this is considered corporate cross-ownership. Any percentage held in this class will be adjusted;

§ Large private and corporate shares – large private and corporate holdings are defined as those shares held by an individual, a group of individuals acting together or a corporation not in the index that own 10% or more of the

June 2011 Page 15

Bear Market PLUS Based Inversely on the iShares ® Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund due December 27, 2011 Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

§ shares outstanding. However, not to be included in this class are institutional holdings, which are: investment companies, partnerships, insurance companies, mutual funds, banks or venture capital firms unless these firms have a direct relationship to the company, such as board representation, in which case they are considered strategic holdings and are included with the officers/directors group;

§ Unlisted share classes – classes of common stock that are not traded on a U.S. securities exchange;

§ Initial public offering lock-ups – shares locked-up during an initial public offering are not available to the public and will be excluded from the market value at the time the initial public offering enters the index; and

§ Government holdings:

o Direct government holders – holdings listed as “government of” are considered unavailable and will be removed entirely from available shares;

o Indirect government holders – shares held by government investment boards and/or investment arms will be treated similar to large private holdings and removed if the holding is greater than 10%; and

o Government pensions – holdings by government pension plans are considered institutional holdings and will not be removed from available shares.

Corporate Actions Affecting the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The following summarizes the types of Russell 2000 Growth Index maintenance adjustments and indicates whether or not an index adjustment is required:

§ “No Replacement” Rule – Securities that leave the Russell 2000 Growth Index, between reconstitution dates, for any reason (e.g., mergers, acquisitions or other similar corporate activity) are not replaced. Thus, the number of securities in the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the past year will fluctuate according to corporate activity.

§ Rule for Deletions – When a stock is acquired, delisted, or moves to the pink sheets or bulletin boards on the floor of a U.S. securities exchange, the stock is deleted from the index at the close on the effective date or when the stock is no longer trading on the exchange. When deleting stocks from the Russell 2000 Growth Index as a result of exchange de-listing or reconstitution, the price used will be the market price on the day of deletion, including potentially the OTC bulletin board price. Previously, prices used to reflect de-listed stocks were the last traded price on the primary exchange. Exceptions exist for certain corporate events, like mergers or acquisitions, that result in the lack of current market price for the deleted security and in such an instance the latest primary exchange closing price available will be used.

§ When acquisitions or mergers take place within the Russell 2000 Growth Index, the stock’s capitalization moves to the acquiring stock, hence, mergers have no effect on the index total capitalization. Shares are updated for the acquiring stock at the time the transaction is final.

§ Rule for Additions – The only additions between reconstitution dates are as a result of spin-offs and initial public offerings. Spin-off companies are added to the parent company’s index and capitalization tier of membership, if the spin-off is large enough. To be eligible, the spun-off company’s total market capitalization must be greater than the market-adjusted total market capitalization of the smallest security in the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the latest reconstitution.

§ Rule for Corporate Action-Driven Changes – Beginning April 1, 2003 changes resulting from corporate actions generally are applied at the open of the ex-date using the previous day’s closing prices. For reclassification of shares, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs or reorganizations, adjustments will be made at the open of the ex-date using previous day closing prices. For re-incorporations and exchange delisting, deleted entities will be removed at the open on the day following re-incorporation or delisting using previous day closing prices (including OTC prices for delisted stocks).

Updates to Share Capital Affecting the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Each month, the Russell 2000 Growth Index is updated for changes to shares outstanding as companies report changes in share capital to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Effective April 30, 2002, only cumulative changes to shares outstanding greater than 5% will be reflected in the Russell 2000 Growth Index. This does not affect treatment of major corporate events, which are effective on the ex-date.

Pricing of Securities Included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Effective on January 1, 2002, primary exchange closing prices are used in the daily index calculations. FT Interactive data is used as the primary source for U.S. security prices, income, and total shares outstanding. Prior to January 1, 2002, composite closing prices, which are the last trade price on any U.S. exchange, were used in the daily index calculations.
