Fact Sheet

The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley and have the terms described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this pricing supplement. On any coupon determination date, the component performance of each commodity will equal (i) if the then-current commodity value of such commodity has appreciated from the pricing date to the coupon determination date, a positive fixed return of 13.00% or (ii) if the then-current commodity value of such commodity has remained the same or declined from the pricing date to such coupon determination date, the percentage decrease in the commodity value, subject to a floor of -20.00%. The notes will pay a contingent coupon on any coupon payment date only if there are a sufficient number of commodities with a positive fixed return to more than offset the negative returns of any of the commodities that have declined in value since the pricing date. The contingent coupon rate will not be less than 0% or greater than the fixed return of 13.00%. Only if all commodities have increased in value from the pricing date will the investor receive a contingent coupon rate equal to the fixed return of 13.00%. An investor will receive $1,000 stated principal amount per note at maturity and the repayment of principal will not depend on whether the index increases, decreases or remains the same. The notes offered are senior notes issued as part of Morgan Stanley’s Series F Global Medium-Term Notes program. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

General Information
Listing: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP: 617482TT1
ISIN: US617482TT12
Minimum ticketing size $1,000 / 1 note
Tax considerations: The notes should be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should read the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. However, U.S. Holders should note that the discussion in the sections entitled “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Long-Term Notes” and “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Short-Term Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement do not apply to the notes, except as described below under “Possible Alternative Tax Treatment of an Investment in the Notes.” Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion is based on the treatment of the notes as variable rate debt instruments. Coupon Payments on the Notes Each coupon payment on the notes will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Sale or Exchange of the Notes Upon a sale or exchange of the notes, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange (other than amounts attributable to accrued interest, which will be treated as ordinary interest income as discussed above) and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the notes, which will equal the U.S. Holder’s purchase price of the notes. This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the notes for more than one year at the time of sale or exchange. Possible Alternative Tax Treatment of an Investment in the Notes The Internal Revenue Service could seek to analyze the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning the notes under Treasury regulations governing “contingent payment debt instruments” as descri bed in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation ― Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders ― Long-Term Notes.” Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. Holder, you generally would be subject to annual income tax based on the “comparable yield” (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) of the notes, adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payments on the notes. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. Holders on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally would be treated as ordinary income.
If you are a non-U.S. Holder, 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 (as successor Trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.)
Agent: Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“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 subsidiaries. We, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged, and will continue to hedge, our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by taking positions in the basket commodities and in futures and options contracts on the basket commodities listed on major securities markets .

May 2011 Page 5

Contingent Coupon Commodity-Linked Notes due May 27, 2015

With Coupons Based on the Performance of a Commodity Basket of Eight Physical Commodities and Two Commodity Indices

Such purchase activity on or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial commodity values, and as a result, decrease the component returns as calculated on a coupon determination date, resulting in investors receiving a lower contingent coupon. Additionally, such hedging activity during the term of the notes could potentially affect the commodity value on any coupon determination date and, accordingly, the amount of contingent coupons you will receive on the coupon payment dates and at maturity.
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”). 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 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 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 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 the notes by the account, plan or annuity.
Additional considerations: Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley, MSSB or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the notes, either directly or indirectly.
Supplemental information concerning plan of distribution; conflicts of interest: The agent may distribute the notes 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 (an affiliate of the Agent), and their financial advisors will collectively receive from the Agent, MS & Co., a fixed sales commission of $35 for each note 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 notes 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.
Validity of the notes: In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to Morgan Stanley, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Morgan Stanley and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes 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 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. 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 notes 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 March 24, 2011, which has been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K by Morgan Stanley on March 24, 2011.
Contact: Morgan Stanley Smith Barney clients may contact their local Morgan Stanley Smith Barney branch office or our principal executive offices at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036 (telephone number (866) 477-4776). All other clients may contact their local brokerage representative. Third-party distributors may contact Morgan Stanley Structured Investment Sales at (800) 233-1087.

Contingent Coupon Commodity-Linked Notes due May 27, 2015

With Coupons Based on the Performance of a Commodity Basket of Eight Physical Commodities and Two Commodity Indices

How the Notes Work

The following scenarios illustrate hypothetical contingent coupons for a basket of 10 equally weighted hypothetical commodities, each with a hypothetical initial commodity value of 100¢ and a hypothetical commodity value on the corresponding coupon determination date as set forth in the table for each example. The following examples reflect the fixed return of 13% and the floor for the commodity performance of -20%. The hypothetical contingent coupons presented are for illustrative purposes only. The actual contingent coupons, if any, applicable to a purchaser of the notes will be determined on each coupon determination date based on the weighted sum of the performance of the commodities, calculated as described herein. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. The numbers appearing in the tables and examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Table 1: Non-zero contingent coupon — Basket Commodity Commodity Value Commodity Return Commodity Performance Commodity Performance × Weighting
Commodity 1 130¢ 30% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 2 100¢ 0% 0% 0%
Commodity 3 110¢ 10% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 4 105¢ 5% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 5 50¢ -50% -20% -2.0%
Commodity 6 110¢ 10% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 7 120¢ 20% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 8 95¢ -5% -5% -0.5%
Commodity 9 110¢ 10% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 10 105¢ 5% 13% 1.3%
Total = 6.6%
Contingent Coupon Rate = 6.6%

Explanation for Example 1

As illustrated by Table 1, seven of the ten basket commodities have positive returns, one has zero change, and the other two basket commodities have negative returns, ranging from -20% to -5%. The contingent coupon rate is 6.6% and the investor would receive a contingent coupon on the coupon payment date of $66 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

Commodity 4 105¢ 5% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 5 80¢ -20% -20% -2.0%
Commodity 6 70¢ -30% -20% -2.0%
Commodity 7 300¢ 200% 13% 1.3%

Contingent Coupon Rate = 0%

Explanation for Example 2

As illustrated by Table 2, four of the ten basket commodity values have positive returns (up to 200%), two have no change, and the other four basket commodities have negative returns, ranging from -20% to -5%. However, the positive contribution of any commodity towards the contingent coupon rate is limited to the fixed return times the weighting, or 13% times 10%, or 1.3%, no matter how much such basket commodity has appreciated, while the negative contribution of a badly performing basket commodity may be as low as the floor of -20% times 10%, or 2%, which is greater in absolute terms. Consequently, significant negative returns can have a disproportionate effect on the weighted sum. Even here where a majority of the basket commodities have a non-negative return, and some have appreciated tremendously, the negative returns for the other basket commodities are sufficiently large so that the investor receives no contingent coupon on the applicable coupon payment date.

Table 3: Maximum contingent coupon — Basket Commodity Commodity Value Commodity Return Commodity Performance Commodity Performance × Weighting
Commodity 1 101¢ 1% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 2 150¢ 50% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 3 115¢ 15% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 4 102¢ 2% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 5 300¢ 200% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 6 140¢ 40% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 7 103¢ 3% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 8 115¢ 15% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 9 104¢ 4% 13% 1.3%
Commodity 10 200¢ 100% 13% 1.3%
Total = 13.0%
Contingent Coupon Rate = 13.0%

Explanation for Example 3

As illustrated by Table 3, all of the 10 basket commodities have increased in value, so the commodity performance for each commodity is equal to 13%. Therefore, the contingent coupon rate is also 13% and the investor would receive a contingent coupon on the coupon payment date of $130 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Even though some of the commodities have appreciated far more than 13%, the contingent coupon rate is limited to 13%.

EFPlaceholder Risk Factors

The notes involve risks not associated with an investment in ordinary fixed rate notes. Accordingly, you should carefully consider whether the notes are suited to your particular circumstances in connection with your investment in the notes. You should consult your own financial and legal advisers as to the risks entailed by an investment in the notes and the suitability of such notes in light of your particular circumstances. The notes are not secured debt and investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket commodities. The following is a non-exhaustive list of the most significant risks relating to the notes. For a complete list of risk factors, please see the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

§ The return on your investment in the notes depends on whether the commodity values have increased over the initial commodity values, and accordingly your actual return may be less than the amount that would be paid on conventional debt securities issued by us with similar maturities. The terms of the notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that the coupon payable on the notes varies, depending on whether the commodity values have increased over the initial commodity values. The coupons will be less if the some commodities have depreciated or have remained unchanged in value since the pricing date, and therefore, the overall return on your investment over the term of the notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity issued by us. Depending on the performance of the basket commodities, the payment of the contingent coupon and the return of the stated principal amount of the notes at maturity may not compensate you for the effects of inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.

§ The maximum amount of the contingent coupon is fixed and not proportional to the percentage increase, if any, in the commodity values. The maximum contingent coupon rate is 13.00%. (For payment of this maximum possible contingent coupon rate, all commodities must have appreciated on the applicable coupon determination date.) Therefore, the coupon will be no higher than $130 per note even if the commodity values increase significantly more than 13.00%.

§ The contingent coupon is based only on the value of the basket commodities on the annual coupon determination date. Whether the contingent coupon will be paid on any coupon payment date will be determined based on the commodity values on the applicable annual coupon determination date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent coupon on any coupon payment date until the commodity values are determined on such date. Moreover, because the contingent coupon is based solely on the commodity values on each annual coupon determination date, if the weighted sum of the commodity performances on the related coupon determination date is less than zero, you will receive no contingent coupon on the applicable coupon payment date even if the weighted sum was greater than or equal to zero on other days prior to such coupon determination date.

§ The notes may not pay coupons even if the closing price of the basket commodities appreciated from the coupon determination date of the previous year. On each coupon determination date, the contingent coupon rate is based on the percentage change of the value of each commodity with respect to its initial commodity value. Accordingly, if, on the first coupon determination date, the value of a basket commodity has declined by 15% below its initial commodity value but then subsequently increases by 10% from such decline by the second coupon determination date, the percentage change of such basket commodity would still be negative on the second coupon determination date. On any coupon determination date, unless a sufficient number of basket commodities have appreciated to more than offset other basket commodities that have declined since the pricing date, the notes will not pay any coupon on the corresponding coupon payment date. The contingent coupon will not be less than zero dollars.

§ 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 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.

§ The notes will likely not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. We do not expect to list the notes on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. Our affiliate, 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.

§ The market price of the notes may be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, some 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: (i) the value and volatility of the basket commodities, (ii) the price and volatility of the commodity contracts that compose the underlying indices, (iii) trends of supply and demand for the basket commodities and the commodities underlying the underlying index, (iv) geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events that affect the contracts composing the underlying indices or stock or commodities markets generally and which may affect the commodity values on the coupon determination dates, (v) time remaining to maturity, and (vi) 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.

§ Adjustments to the Brent Index and the Livestock Index could adversely affect the value of the notes. Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, as the underlying index publisher, may add, delete or substitute the futures contracts constituting the underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the underlying index. The underlying index publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the Brent Index or the Livestock Index (each, an “underlying index”) at any time. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the notes. Where an underlying index is discontinued, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the underlying index and is not precluded from considering indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.

§ The Brent Index and Livestock Index may in the future include contracts that are not traded on regulated futures exchanges. The Brent Index and Livestock Index were originally based solely on futures contracts traded on regulated futures exchanges (referred to in the United States as “designated contract markets”). At present, the Brent Index and Livestock Index continue to be composed exclusively of regulated futures contracts. As described below, however, the Brent Index and Livestock Index may in the future include over-the-counter contracts (such as swaps and forward contracts) traded on trading facilities that are subject to lesser degrees of regulation or, in some cases, no substantive regulation. As a result, trading in such contracts, and the manner in which prices and volumes are reported by the relevant trading facilities, may not be subject to the same provisions of, and the protections afforded by, the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended, or other applicable statutes and related regulations, that govern trading on regulated futures exchanges. In addition, many electronic trading facilities have only recently initiated trading and do not have significant trading histories. As a result, the trading of contracts on such facilities and the inclusion of such contracts in the indices may be subject to certain risks not presented by most exchange-traded futures contracts, including risks related to the liquidity and price histories of the relevant contracts.

§ Specific commodities’ prices are affected by numerous factors specific to each market. We describe the principal risks associated with investments in copper, corn, cotton, gasoline RBOB, nickel, palladium, silver and sugar in the next paragraphs. For more information on the Brent Index and the Livestock Index, please see “Annex I—Certain Additional Commodity and Commodity Index Risks” and “Annex II—The S&P GSCI™-ER” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Copper . The price of copper is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of copper, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Demand for copper is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are particularly important to demand for copper include the electrical and construction sectors. In recent years demand

May 2011 Page 11

Contingent Coupon Commodity-Linked Notes due May 27, 2015

With Coupons Based on the Performance of a Commodity Basket of Eight Physical Commodities and Two Commodity Indices

has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing countries due to their copper-intensive economic growth and infrastructure development. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for copper in various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for copper. Apart from the United States, Canada and Australia, the majority of copper concentrate supply (the raw material) comes from outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. In previous years, copper supply has been affected by strikes, financial problems and terrorist activity and other disruptions to the supply chain, from mining to storage to smelting. The price of copper is also affected by variations in production costs, including storage, labor and energy costs, as well as regulatory compliance costs, including as a result of environmental regulations.

Corn. The price of corn is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of corn. The demand for corn is in part linked to the development of industrial and energy uses for corn. This includes the use of corn in the production of ethanol. The demand for corn is also affected by the production and profitability of the pork and poultry sectors, which use corn for feed. Negative developments in those industries may lessen the demand for corn. For example, if avian flu were to have a negative effect on world poultry markets, the demand for corn might decrease. The supply of corn is dependent on many factors including weather patterns, government regulation, the price of fuel and fertilizers and the current and previous price of corn. The United States is the world’s largest supplier of corn, followed by China and Brazil. The supply of corn is particularly sensitive to weather patterns in the United States and China. In addition, technological advances could lead to increases in worldwide production of corn and corresponding decreases in the price of corn.

Cotton. The price of cotton is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of cotton, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. In addition, the price of cotton is affected by governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture, including cotton, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Extrinsic factors also affect cotton prices such as weather, crop yields, natural disasters, technological developments, wars and political and civil upheavals. Demand for cotton has generally increased with worldwide growth and prosperity.

Gasoline RBOB. Gasoline RBOB is a wholesale non-oxygenated blendstock traded in the New York Harbor barge market that is ready for the addition of 10% ethanol at the truck rack. The level of demand for non-oxygenated gasoline is primarily influenced by the level of global industrial activity. In addition, the demand has seasonal variations, which occur during the “driving seasons” usually considered the summer months in North America and Europe. Further, as gasoline RBOB is derived from crude oil, the price of crude oil also influences the price of gasoline RBOB.

Nickel. The price of nickel is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of nickel, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Demand for nickel is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. The stainless steel industrial sector is particularly important to demand for nickel given that the use of nickel in the manufacture of stainless steel accounts for a significant percentage of world-wide nickel demand. Growth in the production of stainless steel will therefore drive nickel demand. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for nickel in various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for nickel. Nickel supply is dominated by Canada and the Commonwealth of Independent States (the “CIS”). Exports from the CIS have increased in recent years. The supply of nickel is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new mines and smelters. Low prices for nickel in the early 1990s tended to discourage such investments.

Palladium . The price of palladium has fluctuated widely over the past several years. Since the palladium supply is both limited and concentrated, any disruptions in the palladium supply tend to have an exaggerated effect on the price of palladium. Key factors that may influence prices are the policies and production and cost levels in the most important palladium-producing countries, in particular, Russia, South Africa and Canada (which together account for over 80% of production), the size and availability of the Russian palladium stockpiles, global supply and demand as well as the economic situation of the main consuming countries. The possibility of large-scale distress sales of palladium in times of crises may also have a short-term negative impact on the price of palladium and may adversely affect the value of the notes. For example, the 2008 financial crisis resulted in significantly depressed

May 2011 Page 12

Contingent Coupon Commodity-Linked Notes due May 27, 2015

With Coupons Based on the Performance of a Commodity Basket of Eight Physical Commodities and Two Commodity Indices

prices of palladium largely due to forced sales and deleveraging from institutional investors such as hedge funds and pension funds. Crises in the future may impair palladium’s price performance which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on the value of the notes. Palladium is used in a variety of industries, in particular the automotive industry. Demand for palladium from the automotive industry, which uses palladium as a catalytic converter, accounts for more than 50% of the industrial use of palladium, and a continued decline in the global automotive industry may impact the price of palladium and affect the value of the notes. Palladium is also used in the electronics, dental and jewelry industries.

Silver . Silver prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. These include general economic trends, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates, central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events, and production costs and disruptions in major silver producing countries such as the United Mexican States and the Republic of Peru. The supply of silver consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time-to-time, above-ground inventories of silver may also influence the market. The major end-uses for silver include industrial applications, photography, jewelry and silverware.

Sugar . Global prices for sugar are primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of sugar, but are also significantly influenced by governmental policy and international trade agreements, by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Sugar is used primarily as a human food sweetener, but is also used in the production of fuel ethanol. Global demand for sugar is influenced by level of human consumption of sweetened food-stuffs and beverages and to a lesser extent, by the level of demand for sugar as the basis for fuel ethanol. The world export supply of sugar is dominated by the European Union, Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba, Thailand and Australia, while other countries, including India, the United States, Canada and Russia produce significant amounts of sugar for domestic consumption. Governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture and energy, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally, in these countries and at a multinational level could affect the supply and price of sugar. Extrinsic factors also affect sugar prices such as weather, disease and natural disasters.

§ There are risks relating to trading of commodities on the London Bullion Market Association. Silver is traded on the London Bullion Market Association, which we refer to as the LBMA. The closing prices of silver will be determined by reference to the fixing prices reported by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA 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 LBMA price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of silver may be adversely affected. The LBMA 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 LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA, which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA 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.

§ There are risks relating to trading of commodities 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

May 2011 Page 13

Contingent Coupon Commodity-Linked Notes due May 27, 2015

With Coupons Based on the Performance of a Commodity Basket of Eight Physical Commodities and Two Commodity Indices

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

§ There are risks relating to the trading of metals on the London Metal Exchange. The official cash offer prices of copper and nickel 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 any valuation date, the per unit U.S. dollar cash offer prices used to determine the official cash offer price of certain basket commodities, and consequently your payment at maturity, could be adversely affected.

§ Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket commodities. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket commodities or in the futures contracts that compose the underlying indices.

§ The inclusion of commissions and the cost of hedging, including the projected profit from the 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 Morgan Stanley is willing to purchase the notes at any time in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price will include, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude commissions paid with respect to the notes as well as 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 Morgan Stanley as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

§ 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; disease; pestilence; technological developments; changes in interest rates; and trading activities in commodities and related contracts. These factors may affect the settlement price of the underlying index and the value of your notes in varying and potentially inconsistent ways. As a result of these or other factors, the price of the underlying index may be, and has recently been, highly volatile (see “Historical Information” on page 17).

§ Higher future prices of the index commodities relative to their current prices may adversely affect the value of the underlying indices and the value of the notes. The underlying indices are composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. As the futures contracts that compose the underlying indices approach expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in September may specify an October expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in October is replaced by a contract for delivery in November. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the October contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the November contract, thereby creating a “roll yield.” While many types of commodities have historically exhibited consistent periods of

May 2011 Page 14

Contingent Coupon Commodity-Linked Notes due May 27, 2015

With Coupons Based on the Performance of a Commodity Basket of Eight Physical Commodities and Two Commodity Indices

backwardation, backwardation will most likely not exist at all times. Moreover, certain commodities have historically traded in “contango” markets. Contango markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. The absence of backwardation in the commodity markets could result in negative “roll yields,” which could adversely affect the value of the underlying indices and, accordingly, the value of the notes.

§ Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in commodity and related futures markets could adversely affect the price of the notes. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including 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 underlying indices and, therefore, the value of the notes.

§ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the notes. As calculation agent, Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., which we refer to as MSCS, has determined the initial commodity values, will determine the commodity values on each of the coupon determination dates and will calculate the amount of contingent coupon you will receive on each coupon payment date and at maturity. Determinations made by MSCS in its capacity as calculation agent may affect the payout to you at maturity.

§ Hedging and trading activity by the calculation agent and its affiliates 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 possibly to other instruments linked to underlying index), including trading in futures, forwards and options contracts on the underlying index as well as in other instruments related to the underlying index. Some of our subsidiaries also trade in the component futures contracts of the underlying index and other financial instruments related to the underlying index on a regular basis as part of their general 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 values and, as a result, could decrease the component returns as calculated on a coupon determination date, resulting in you receiving a lower contingent coupon.

Information about the Underlying Indices

The S&P GSCI™ —Excess Return. The S&P GSCI™–ER is an index on a production-weighted basket of principal non-financial commodities (i.e., physical commodities) that satisfy specified criteria. The S&P GSCI™–ER is designed to be a measure of the performance over time of the markets for these commodities. The only commodities represented in the S&P GSCI™–ER are those physical commodities on which active and liquid contracts are traded on trading facilities in major industrialized countries. The commodities included in the S&P GSCI™–ER are weighted, on a production basis, to reflect the relative significance of such commodities to the world economy. The fluctuations in the value of the S&P GSCI™–ER are intended generally to correlate with changes in the prices of such physical commodities in global markets. For a more complete description of the index, including risks relating thereto, see “Annex I— Certain Additional Commodity and Commodity Index Risks—S&P GSCI™ Commodity Index—Excess Return” and “Annex II—The S&P GSCI™ - ER” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

The S&P GSCI™ Brent Crude Index—Excess Return. The S&P GSCI™ Brent Crude Index—Excess Return is a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™–Excess Return. It represents only the Brent crude oil component of the S&P GSCI™–ER.

The S&P GSCI™ Livestock Index—Excess Return. The S&P GSCI™ Livestock Index—Excess Return is a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™–Excess Return. It represents only the livestock component of the S&P GSCI™–ER.

Historical EFPlaceholder Information
