Commodity-Linked Partial Principal at Risk Securities due June 28, 2019

Based on the Value of the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity Index SM

Principal at Risk Securities

The Commodity-Linked Partial Principal at Risk Securities, which we refer to as the securities, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, will pay no interest, provide for a minimum payment amount of only 90% of principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying prospectus supplement for commodity-linked partial principal at risk securities and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. At maturity, if the underlying commodity index has appreciated in value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus 104% of the increase in the value of the underlying commodity index. However, if, at maturity, the underlying commodity index has remained unchanged or has depreciated in value, investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the final index value from the initial index value, subject to the minimum payment amount of $900 per security. Investors may lose up to 10% of the stated principal amount of the securities. These long-dated securities are for investors who are concerned about principal risk but seek a commodity index-based return, and who are willing to risk 10% of their principal and forgo current income on the securities in exchange for the repayment of at least 90% of principal at maturity and the opportunity to participate in 104% of the appreciation of the underlying commodity index. The securities are notes issued as part of Morgan Stanley’s Series F Global Medium-Term Notes program.

All payments are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access to, any underlying reference asset or assets.

Investment Summary

Commodity-Linked Partial Principal at Risk Securities

Principal at Risk Securities

The Commodity-Linked Partial Principal at Risk Securities due June 28, 2019 Based on the Value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index SM provide investors with an opportunity to participate in 104% of the positive performance of the underlying commodity index while being exposed on a 1:1 basis to any decline in the underlying commodity index, subject to the minimum payment amount of $900 per security.

If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, the securities will pay the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount. The supplemental redemption amount provides 104% upside participation in the increase in the value of the underlying commodity index. However, if the final index value is equal to or less than the initial index value, the payment at maturity per security will be equal to or less than the $1,000 principal amount of securities by an amount proportionate to the decline in the underlying commodity index as of the determination date, subject to the minimum payment amount of $900 per security. The securities do not pay interest, and all payments on the securities, including the minimum payment amount at maturity, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

Maturity: Approximately 5.5 years
Participation rate: 104%
Minimum payment amount: $900 per security (90% of the stated principal amount). You could lose up to 10% of the stated principal amount of the securities.
Interest: None

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $932.30.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

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

What determines the economic terms of the securities?

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

Principal at Risk Securities

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

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying commodity index, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying commodity index, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

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

Key Investment Rationale

Commodity-Linked Partial Principal at Risk Securities offer 104% participation in the positive performance of the underlying commodity index while providing for the repayment of at least 90% of the stated principal amount if the securities are held to maturity in exchange for forgoing current income or interest. The securities are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley, and all payments on the securities, including the minimum payment amount at maturity, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

Minimum payment amount of 90% of principal The securities provide for the minimum payment amount of 90% of principal if held to maturity.
Upside Scenario The underlying commodity index appreciates in value significantly and, at maturity, the securities pay the stated principal amount plus 104% of the positive performance of the underlying commodity index. There is no limitation on the appreciation potential.
Minimum Payment Scenario The underlying commodity index depreciates in value and, at maturity, the securities redeem for less than the $1,000 stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the decline in the value of the underlying commodity index, subject to the minimum payment amount of $900 per security (90% of the stated principal amount).

How the Securities Work

Payoff Diagram

The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the securities based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount: $1,000 per security
Participation rate: 104%
Minimum payment amount: $900 per security (90% of the stated principal amount)

How it works

¡ Upside Scenario. Under the terms of the securities, if the final index value is greater than the initial index value, investors would receive the $1,000 stated principal amount plus 104% of the appreciation of the final index value from the initial index value. There is no maximum payment amount on the securities.

o If the underlying commodity index appreciates 25%, investors would receive a 26% return, or $1,260 per security.

o If the underlying commodity index appreciates 100%, investors would receive a 104% return, or $2,040 per security.

¡ Par or Downside Scenario. If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value, investors would receive an amount less than or equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount, based on a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline in the underlying commodity index as of the determination date, subject to the minimum payment amount of $900 per security.

o If the underlying commodity index depreciates 8%, investors would lose 8% of their principal and receive only $920 per security at maturity, or 92% of the stated principal amount.

o If the underlying commodity index depreciates 50%, investors would receive the minimum payment amount of $900 per security at maturity, or 90% of the stated principal amount.

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 prospectus. You should also 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 a minimum payment amount of only 90% of principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest and provide for a minimum payment amount of only 90% of principal at maturity. If the commodity percent change is less than 0%, the payout at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each security by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the value of the underlying commodity index, subject to the minimum payment amount of $900 per security (90% of the stated principal amount). As the securities do not pay any interest, if the underlying commodity index does not appreciate sufficiently over the term of the securities, the overall return on the securities (the effective yield to maturity) may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity. The securities have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates in exchange for the repayment of at least 90% of principal at maturity and the opportunity to participate in 104% of the appreciation of the underlying commodity index.

¡ The market price of the securities will 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 value of the underlying commodity index at any time and, in particular, on the determination date, the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying commodity index, the price and volatility of the commodity contracts that underlie the underlying commodity index, trends of supply and demand for the commodity contracts that underlie the underlying commodity index, interest and yield rates in the market, time remaining until the securities mature, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlying commodity index or commodities markets generally and which may affect the final index value of the underlying commodity index and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government intervention. Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the other factors described above. As a result, you may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per security if you are able to sell your securities prior to maturity.

¡ 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. The securities are not guaranteed by any other entity. 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.

¡ Investments linked to commodities are subject to sharp fluctuations in commodity prices. Investments, such as the securities, 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

Principal at Risk Securities

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 commodity index and the value of your securities in varying and potentially inconsistent ways. As a result of these or other factors, the level of the underlying commodity index may be, and has recently been, volatile. See “Historical Information” below.

¡ Higher future prices of the index commodities relative to their current prices may adversely affect the value of the underlying commodity index and the value of the securities. The underlying commodity index is 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 commodity index 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 of the contracts included in the underlying commodity index have historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, backwardation will most likely not exist at all times. Moreover, certain of the commodities included in the underlying commodity index 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 presence of contango and absence of backwardation in the commodity markets could result in negative “roll yields,” which could adversely affect the value of the underlying commodity index and, accordingly, the value of the securities.

¡ An investment linked to commodity futures contracts is not equivalent to an investment linked to the spot prices of physical commodities. Underlying commodity indices and certain underlying commodities have returns based on the change in price of futures contracts included in such underlying commodity index or on such underlying commodity, not the change in the spot price of actual physical commodities to which such futures contracts relate. The price of a futures contract reflects the expected value of the commodity upon delivery in the future, whereas the price of a physical commodity reflects the value of such commodity upon immediate delivery, which is referred to as the spot price. Several factors can result in differences between the price of a commodity futures contract and the spot price of a commodity, including the cost of storing such commodity for the length of the futures contract, interest costs related to financing the purchase of such commodity and expectations of supply and demand for such commodity. While the changes in the price of a futures contract are usually correlated with the changes in the spot price, such correlation is not exact. In some cases, the performance of a commodity futures contract can deviate significantly from the spot price performance of the related underlying commodity, especially over longer periods of time. Accordingly, investments linked to the return of commodities futures contracts may underperform similar investments that reflect the spot price return on physical commodities.

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

December 2013 Page 6

Based on the Value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index SM

Principal at Risk Securities

liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could adversely affect the value of the underlying commodity index and, therefore, the value of the securities.

¡ Adjustments to the underlying commodity index could adversely affect the value of the securities. The publisher of the underlying commodity index may add, delete or substitute the commodity contracts constituting the underlying commodity index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the underlying commodity index. The underlying commodity index publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying commodity index at any time. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities. Where the underlying commodity index is discontinued, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the underlying commodity index and will be permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.

¡ The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the value of the underlying commodity index at any time other than the determination date. The final index value will be based on the official settlement price of the underlying commodity index on the determination date, subject to adjustment for non-index business days and certain market disruption events. Even if the underlying commodity index appreciates prior to the determination date but then drops by the determination date, the payment at maturity may be less, and may be significantly less, than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the value of the underlying commodity index prior to such drop. Although the actual index value on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than the final index value, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the value of the underlying commodity index on the determination date.

¡ The rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., may be willing to purchase the securities in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, because secondary market prices will exclude the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the original issue price and borne by you and because the secondary market prices will reflect our secondary market credit spreads and the bid-offer spread that any dealer would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type as well as other factors.

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

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying commodity index, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

¡ The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price. These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part on subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, because there is no market-standard way to value these types of securities, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the securities than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the securities. In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to

Based on the Value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index SM

Principal at Risk Securities

purchase your securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your securities at any time after the date of this pricing supplement will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also “The market price of the securities will be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.

¡ Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying commodity index. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying commodity index or the futures contracts that underlie the underlying commodity index. See “How the Securities Work” above.

¡ Legal and regulatory changes could adversely affect the return on and value of your securities. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts, including those related to the underlying commodities or the index commodities, are subject to extensive statutes, regulations, and margin requirements. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, commonly referred to as the “CFTC,” and the exchanges on which such futures contracts trade, are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. Furthermore, certain exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuations in futures contract prices that may occur during a single five-minute trading period. These limits could adversely affect the market prices of relevant futures and options contracts and forward contracts. The regulation of commodity transactions in the U.S. is subject to ongoing modification by government and judicial action. In addition, various non-U.S. governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the commodity markets and the need to regulate the derivative markets in general. The effect on the value of the securities of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to the interests of holders of the securities.

For example, the Dodd-Frank Act, which was enacted on July 21, 2010, requires the CFTC to establish limits on the amount of positions that may be held by any person in futures contracts on a commodity, options on such futures contracts and swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. When adopted, such rules could interfere with our ability to enter into or maintain hedge positions in instruments subject to the limits, and consequently, we may need to decide, or be forced, to sell a portion, possibly a substantial portion, of our hedge position in such underlying commodity or futures contracts on such underlying commodity or related contracts. Similarly, other market participants would be subject to the same regulatory issues and could decide, or be required, to sell their positions in such underlying commodity or futures contracts on such underlying commodity or related contracts. While the effects of these or other regulatory developments are difficult to predict, if this broad market selling were to occur, it would likely lead to declines, possibly significant declines, in the price of such underlying commodity or futures contracts on such underlying commodity and therefore, the value of the securities.

¡ The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange 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 and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the securities, taking into account its bid/offer spread, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding any related hedging positions, the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that it will be able to resell 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. Since other broker-dealers may not 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 to cease making 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.

¡ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of the issuer, will make determinations with respect to the securities. As calculation agent, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) has determined the

December 2013 Page 8

Based on the Value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index SM

Principal at Risk Securities

initial index value, will determine the commodity percent change or the commodity performance factor, as applicable, and the final index value, and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by MSCG in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the official settlement price of the underlying commodity index in the event of a discontinuance of the underlying commodity index or a market disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.

¡ Hedging and trading activity by our subsidiaries could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities. One or more of our subsidiaries and/or third-party dealers have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the securities, including trading in swaps or futures contracts on the underlying commodity index and on commodities that underlie the underlying commodity index. Some of our subsidiaries also trade in financial instruments related to the underlying commodity index or the prices of the commodities or contracts that underlie the underlying commodity index on a regular basis as part of their general commodity trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial index value and, therefore, could have increased the value at or above which the underlying commodity index must close on the determination date so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the securities. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the determination date, could adversely affect the official settlement price of the underlying commodity index on the determination date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index SM is calculated, maintained and published by CME Group Services LLC, in conjunction with UBS Securities LLC. The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index SM reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on physical commodities constituting the underlying commodity index. On November 4, 2011, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“McGraw-Hill”), the owner of the S&P Indices business, and CME Group Inc. (“CME Group”), the 90% owner of the CME Group and Dow Jones & Company, Inc. joint venture that owns the Dow Jones Indexes business, announced a new joint venture, S&P/Dow Jones Indices, which will own the S&P Indices business and the Dow Jones Indexes business, including the Dow Jones–UBS Commodity Index SM . McGraw-Hill and CME Group expect S&P/Dow Jones Indices to be operational in the first half of 2012, subject to regulatory approval and other conditions.

Additional Information About the Securities

Please read this information in conjunction with the summary terms on the front cover of this document.

Additional provisions:
Call right: The securities are not callable prior to the maturity date.
Interest: None
Postponement of maturity date: If the determination date is postponed so that it falls less than two business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date will be postponed to the second business day following the determination date as postponed.
Denominations: $1,000 per security and integral multiples thereof
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000 / 1 security
Tax considerations: In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the securities should be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders.” Under this treatment, if you are a U.S. taxable investor, you generally will be subject to annual income tax based on the “comparable yield” (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) of the securities, even though no interest is payable on the securities. In addition, any gain recognized by U.S. taxable investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the securities generally will be treated as ordinary income. We have determined that the “comparable yield” for the securities is a rate of 2.5339 % per annum, compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the “projected payment schedule” for a security (assuming an issue price of $1,000) consists of a single projected amount equal to $1,148.7008 due at maturity. You should read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities.
The following table states the amount of original issue discount (“OID”) (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a security) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a security for each accrual period (assuming a day count convention of 30 days per month and 360 days per year), based upon the comparable yield set forth above.
ACCRUAL PERIOD OID DEEMED TO ACCRUE DURING ACCRUAL PERIOD (PER SECURITY) TOTAL OID DEEMED TO HAVE ACCRUED FROM ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE (PER SECURITY) AS OF END OF ACCRUAL PERIOD
Original Issue Date through December 31, 2013 $0.2815 $0.2815
January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 $12.6731 $12.9546
July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 $12.8336 $25.7882
January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015 $12.9962 $38.7844
July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 $13.1609 $51.9453
January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016 $13.3276 $65.2729
July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 $13.4965 $78.7694
January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 $13.6675 $92.4369
July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 $13.8406 $106.2775
January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 $14.0160 $120.2935
July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 $14.1936 $134.4871
January 1, 2019 through the Maturity Date $14.2137 $148.7008
The comparable yield and the projected payment schedule are not provided for any purpose other than the determination of U.S. Holders’ accruals of OID and adjustments thereto in respect of the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we make no representation regarding the actual amount of the payment that will be made on a security.
If you are a non-U.S. investor, please also read the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”

You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. Any consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income are also not discussed in this document or the accompanying prospectus supplement.
The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under “Tax considerations” and the discussion contained in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement, insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities.
Trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon
Use of proceeds and hedging: The proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities will be used for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $1,000 per security issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the securities, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the agent’s commissions. The costs of the securities borne by you and described beginning on page 2 above comprise the agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities. On or prior to the pricing date, we hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities, by entering into hedging transactions with our subsidiaries and/or third party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to have taken positions in the underlying commodity or futures contracts or forward contracts on the underlying commodity. Such purchase activity could have increased the price of the underlying commodity on the pricing date, and therefore, could have increased the price at or above which the underlying commodity must close on the determination date so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the securities. In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the securities, including on the determination date, by purchasing and selling swaps, futures or options contracts on the commodities that underlie the underlying commodity index or positions in any other available instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by selling any such instruments during the term of the securities, including on the determination date. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the underlying commodity index and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the securities or the payment you will receive at maturity. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
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 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

December 2013 Page 15

Principal at Risk Securities

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 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. The securities are contractual financial instruments. The financial exposure provided by the securities is not a substitute or proxy for, and is not intended as a substitute or proxy for, individualized investment management or advice for the benefit of any purchaser or holder of the securities. The securities have not been designed and will not be administered in a manner intended to reflect the individualized needs and objectives of any purchaser or holder of the securities. Each purchaser or holder of any securities acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchaser or holder or its fiduciary has made and shall make all investment decisions for the purchaser or holder and the purchaser or holder has not relied and shall not rely in any way upon us or our affiliates to act as a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder with respect to (A) the design and terms of the securities, (B) the purchaser or holder’s investment in the securities, or (C) the exercise of or failure to exercise any rights we have under or with respect to the securities; (ii) we and our affiliates have acted and will act solely for our own account in connection with (A) all transactions relating to the securities and (B) all hedging transactions in connection with our obligations under the securities; (iii) any and all assets and positions relating to hedging transactions by us or our affiliates are assets and positions of those entities and are not assets and positions held for the benefit of the purchaser or holder; (iv) our interests are adverse to the interests of the purchaser or holder; and (v) neither we nor any of our affiliates is a fiduciary or adviser of the purchaser or holder in connection with any such assets, positions or transactions, and any information that we or any of our affiliates may provide is not intended to be impartial investment advice. 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 Morgan Stanley or Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of the securities by the account, plan or annuity.
