Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, will pay no interest, do not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Jump Securities and the accompanying prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this pricing supplement. If the basket appreciates at all on the valuation date, you will realize a minimum positive return of 29.5% on your investment in the securities. If the basket appreciates by more than 29.5% on the valuation date, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity the stated principal amount plus an amount based on the percentage appreciation of the basket. However, if the basket declines in value by more than 20% on the valuation date from its initial value, the payment due at maturity will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the securities. You could lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities. The securities are senior notes issued as part of Morgan Stanley’s Series F Global Medium-Term Note Program. All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

CUSIP: 617482YB4
ISIN: US617482YB49
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000 / 1 security
Tax considerations: Although the issuer believes that, under current law, each security 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 securities. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Jump Securities, 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 securities prior to settlement, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange, and
§ upon sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, a U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the securities. Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule under Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any gain or loss recognized upon sale, exchange or settlement of the securities should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the securities for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise.

Because the securities are linked to shares of exchange-traded funds, although the matter is not clear, there is a substantial risk that an investment in the securities will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.” If this treatment applies, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain of the U.S. Holder in respect of the securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income (and an interest charge will be imposed). U.S. investors should read the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation – Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Tax Treatment of the Securities – Additional Considerations for Securities that Provide for the Greater of a Fixed Upside Payment and an Upside Return Based on the Increased Value of the Underlying” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Jump Securities for additional information and consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule. In 2007, the U.S. 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. 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 (as discussed above). While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the securities should read the discussion under “Risk Factors” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Jump Securities and consult

September 2011 Page 4

Buffered Jump Securities due September 8, 2014

Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership regime, the issues presented by the aforementioned notice and 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.)
Calculation agent: MS & Co.
Use of proceeds and hedging: The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our subsidiaries.
On or prior to the pricing date, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by taking positions in the basket components and in futures and/or options contracts on the basket components or any component securities underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the MSCI EAFE Index, the RTY Index or the SPX Index listed on major securities markets. Such purchase activity could have increased the initial basket component values, and, as a result, could have increased the values at which the basket components must close on the valuation date before you would receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the securities. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Jump Securities.
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 securities. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan. In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co., may each be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or a “disqualified person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to many Plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also “Plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between Plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the securities are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the securities are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for 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 securities. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and the related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the Plan pays no more, and receives no less, than “adequate consideration” in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption). There can be no assurance that any of these class or statutory exemptions will be available with respect to transactions involving the securities. Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the securities may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, transferee or holder of the securities will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the securities that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or with any assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding 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

September 2011 Page 5

Buffered Jump Securities due September 8, 2014

Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the securities 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 securities has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the securities do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any securities to any Plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan. However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the securities if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 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 securities 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 securities, either directly or indirectly.
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest: Selected dealers, which may include our affiliates, and their financial advisors will collectively receive from the agent a fixed sales commission of $2.50 for each security 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 Jump Securities.
Validity of the securities: In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to Morgan Stanley, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Morgan Stanley and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such securities will be valid and binding obligations of Morgan Stanley, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the 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 securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Senior Debt Indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated 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 clients may contact their local Morgan Stanley 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.

How the Buffered Jump Securities Work

Payoff Diagram

The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the securities for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the underlying basket. The diagram is based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount: $1,000 per security
Upside payment: $295 per security (29.5% of the stated principal amount)
Buffer amount: 20%
Maximum payment at maturity: None
Minimum payment at maturity: $200 per security (20% of the stated principal amount)

Buffered Jump Securities Payoff Diagram

How it works

§ If the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value, the payment at maturity on the securities reflected in the graph above is greater than the $1,000 stated principal amount per security and is equal to $1,000 plus the greater of (i) $1,000 times the basket percent change or (ii) the upside payment of $295. Under the terms of the securities, an investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,295 per security at any final basket value greater than the initial basket value by an amount less than or equal to 29.5%. If the final basket value has increased from the initial basket value by more than 29.5%, the investor will receive a payment at maturity that is equal to $1,000 plus an amount that represents a 1 to 1 participation in the appreciation of the underlying basket.

§ If the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value but has decreased from the initial basket value by an amount less than or equal to the buffer amount of 20%, the payment at maturity reflected in the graph above is equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount per security.

§ If the final basket value has decreased from the initial basket value by an amount greater than the buffer amount of 20%, the payment at maturity will be less than the stated principal amount of $1,000 by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decline in the value of the underlying basket beyond the buffer amount. However, under no circumstances will the payment due at maturity be less than $200 per security.

¡ For example, if the final basket value declines by 25% from the initial basket value, the payment at maturity will be $950 per security (95% of the stated principal amount).

September 2011 Page 7

Buffered Jump Securities due September 8, 2014

Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

Payment at Maturity

At maturity, investors will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that they hold an amount in cash based on the value of the underlying basket on the valuation date, determined as follows:

If the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value:

$1,000 + the greater of (i) $1,000 × the basket percent change or (ii) the upside payment

basket percent change
initial basket value

upside payment = $295 per security

There is no maximum payment at maturity on the security.

If the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value but greater than or equal to 80% of the initial basket value, meaning the value of the basket has remained unchanged or has declined by an amount less than or equal to the buffer amount of 20% from its initial value:

the stated principal amount of $1,000

If the final basket value is less than 80% of the initial basket value, meaning the value of the basket has declined by more than the buffer amount of 20% from its initial value:

$1,000 × (the basket performance factor + 20%)

Because the basket performance factor will be less than 80% in this scenario, the payment at maturity will be less, and potentially significantly less, than $1,000 per security. The minimum payment at maturity on the securities is $200 per security.

Risk Factors

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

§ The securities do not pay interest and provide for the minimum payment at maturity of only 20% of your principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay you any interest and will not guarantee payment of the principal amount of the securities at maturity. At maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash based on the final basket value. If the final basket value is equal to the initial basket value or has decreased from the initial basket value by an amount less than or equal to the buffer amount you will receive only the principal amount of $1,000 per security. If the final basket value decreases from the initial basket value by more than the buffer amount of 20%, you will receive an amount in cash that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each security by an amount proportionate to the decline in the value of the basket beyond the buffer amount, and you will lose money on your investment. You could lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities . See “How the Buffered Jump Securities Work” on page 7.

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

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

§ the price or value of each of the basket components at any time and, in particular, on the valuation date,

§ the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in price or value) of each of the basket components,

§ interest and yield rates in the market,

§ geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the basketcomponents or stock markets generally and which may affect the initial basket component values and/or thefinal basket component values,

§ the exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar with respect to each of the currencies in which the stocksunderlying the EEM Shares and the EFA Shares trade,

§ the time remaining until the securities mature,

§ the occurrence of certain events affecting the EEM Shares or the EFA Shares that may or may not require anadjustment to the relevant adjustment factor, and

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

Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if the values of the basket components at the time of sale are at or below their initial values or if market interest rates rise. You cannot predict the future performance of any of the basket components based on their historical performance. There can be no assurance that the basket value will increase such that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the stated principal amount of the securities. The basket components may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Historical Information” on page 16.

§ The securities are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley, and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities. You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of Morgan Stanley’s creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in Morgan Stanley’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Morgan Stanley credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities.

§ Changes in the value of one or more basket components may offset changes in the value of one or more of the other basket components. Movements in the values of the basket components may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of one basket component increases, the value of the other basket components may not increase as much, or may decrease. Therefore, in calculating the final basket value, increases in the value of one basket component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or decreases in the value of the other basket components.

§ Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket components; you have no shareholder or other rights in the basket components and are exposed to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley . Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket components, their component stocks or the indices tracked by the EEM Shares and EFA Shares. As an investor in the securities, you will not have voting rights or the right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the EEM Shares or EFA Shares or any of the securities underlying the basket components. In addition, you do not have the right to exchange your securities for EEM Shares or EFA Shares or any of the securities underlying the basket components at any time, and are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

§ The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase the securities at any time in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, since secondary market prices are likely to exclude commissions paid with respect to the securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities that are included in the original issue price. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. Our subsidiaries may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the securities or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MS & Co., as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

§ There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities including, in particular, emerging markets equity securities. The EEM Shares and EFA Shares track the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively, which are both linked to the value of foreign equity securities. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities issued in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at

Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions.

§ The securities are subject to currency exchange rate risk . Because the prices of the EEM Shares and EFA Shares are related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively, holders of the securities will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such component securities trade. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as relevant government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the relevant region. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component securities strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each security. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or MSCI EAFE Index, the price of the EEM Shares or EFA Shares, as applicable, will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the securities may be reduced.

Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:

§ existing and expected rates of inflation;

§ existing and expected interest rate levels;

§ the balance of payments; and

§ the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the MSCI EAFE Index and the United States.

All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the MSCI EAFE Index and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

§ Adjustments to the EEM Shares or EFA Shares or the index tracked by the EEM Shares or EFA Shares, as applicable, could adversely affect the value of the securities . As the investment adviser to the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund and the iShares ® MSCI EAFE 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 MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the MSCI EAFE Index, respectively. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the relevant fund. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the shares of the relevant fund and, consequently, the value of the securities. MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”) is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index. MSCI may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or MSCI EAFE Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or MSCI EAFE Index. MSCI may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or MSCI EAFE Index at any time. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or MSCI EAFE Index and, consequently, the value of the securities.

§ The EEM Shares and the index tracked by the EEM Shares are different. The performance of the EEM Shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index because the EEM Shares will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. It is also possible that the EEM Shares may not fully replicate, or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from, the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in the iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, differences in trading hours between the EEM Shares and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or due to other circumstances. The iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and in depositary receipts representing securities of such index. The iShares ® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in other securities, including securities not included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, futures contracts, options on futures contracts,

September 2011 Page 11

Buffered Jump Securities due September 8, 2014

Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

other types of options and swaps related to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with the Investment Adviser.

§ The EFA Shares and the index tracked by the EFA Shares are different. The performance of the EFA Shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index because the EFA Shares will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index. It is also possible that the EFA Shares may not fully replicate, or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from, the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in the iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, differences in trading hours between the EFA Shares and the MSCI EAFE Index or due to other circumstances. The iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities of the MSCI EAFE Index and in depositary receipts representing securities of such index. The iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities not included in the MSCI EAFE Index but which the Investment Adviser believes will help the iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund track the MSCI EAFE 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 antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that can affect the EEM Shares or EFA Shares . MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for the EEM Shares and EFA Shares for certain events affecting the relevant fund, such as stock splits and stock dividends. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event or every distribution that could affect the EEM Shares or EFA Shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, the market price of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. The determination by the calculation agent to adjust, or not to adjust, an adjustment factor may materially and adversely affect the market price of the securities.

§ Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the securities. The publisher of each underlying index can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying such index, and can make other methodological changes that could change the value of such underlying index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities. In addition, each index publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying index that it publishes at any time. In these circumstances, MS & Co., as the calculation agent, will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index for such index that is comparable to the discontinued index and is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by MS & Co. or any of its affiliates. If MS & Co. determines that there is no appropriate successor index for such index, the payment at maturity on the securities will be an amount based on the closing prices on the valuation date of the securities constituting such underlying index at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the underlying index last in effect prior to discontinuance of such index.

§ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the securities. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial basket component values and the multipliers and will determine the final basket component values, the final basket value, the basket percent change or the basket performance factor, if applicable, and the payment at maturity or whether a market disruption event has occurred or any antidilution adjustment is required. 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 basket component value in the event of a discontinuance of the relevant basket component, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity.

§ Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities . One or more of our subsidiaries have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the notes (and to other instruments linked to the basket components or stocks underlying the basket components), including trading in the EEM Shares or EFA Shares or stocks that constitute the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, MSCI EAFE Index, RTY Index or SPX Index as well as in other instruments related to the basket components. Some of our subsidiaries also trade the EEM Shares, EFA Shares or stocks that constitute the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, MSCI EAFE Index, RTY Index or SPX Index and other financial instruments related to the basket components 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

September 2011 Page 12

Buffered Jump Securities due September 8, 2014

Based on the Performance of a Basket of Two Equity Exchange-Traded Funds and Two Equity Indices

increased the initial basket component values and, therefore, could have increased the values at which the basket components must close on the valuation date before an investor would receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the securities. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the values of the basket components on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities 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 Jump Securities (together the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. As discussed in the Tax Disclosure Sections, there is a substantial risk that the “constructive ownership” rule could apply, in which case all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder could be recharacterized as ordinary income (and an interest charge will be imposed). If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of income on the securities might differ significantly from the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. For example, under one treatment, U.S. Holders could be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. The risk that buffered securities would be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt instruments giving rise to ordinary income, rather than as open transactions, is higher than with non-buffered equity-linked securities. The issuer does not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in the Tax Disclosure Sections. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime (as discussed above). While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership regime, the issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
