Jump Securities due February 2, 2015
Based on the Performance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF
Principal at Risk Securities
The Jump Securities, which we refer to as the securities, offer the opportunity to earn a return based on the performance of the shares of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Jump Securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee the return of any principal at maturity. Instead, at maturity, you will receive for each security that you hold an amount in cash that will vary depending on the performance of the underlying shares, as determined on the valuation date. If the underlying shares appreciate at all as of the valuation date, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity an upside payment of $3.40 in addition to the stated principal amount. However, if the final share price is equal to or less than the initial share price, the payment due at maturity will be equal to or less than the stated principal amount of the securities by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease in the final share price from the initial share price. This amount may be significantly less than the stated principal amount and could be zero. Accordingly, you may lose your entire initial investment in the securities. The securities are for investors who seek a return based on the performance of the underlying shares and who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income and appreciation above the fixed upside payment in exchange for the upside payment feature that applies to a limited range of performance of underlying shares. 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
Jump Securities
Principal at Risk Securities
The Jump Securities due February 2, 2015 Based on the Performance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (the “securities”) can be used:
§ As an alternative to direct exposure to the underlying shares that provides a fixed positive return of 34% if the underlying shares have appreciated at all as of the valuation date; and
§ To enhance returns and potentially outperform the underlying shares in a moderately bullish scenario.
The securities are exposed on a 1:1 basis to the percentage decline of the final share price from the initial share price.
| Maturity: | Approximately 13 months |
|---|---|
| Upside payment: | $3.40 per security (34% of the stated principal amount) |
| Maximum payment at maturity: | $13.40 per security (134% of the stated principal amount) |
| Minimum payment at maturity: | None. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. |
| Interest: | None |
EFPlaceholder The original issue price of each security is $10. 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 $10. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $9.841.
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 shares. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying shares, instruments based on the underlying shares, 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 upside payment, 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.
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 shares, 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 shares, 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
This 13-month investment does not pay interest but offers a fixed positive return of 34% if the underlying shares appreciate at all as of the valuation date. However, if the underlying shares decline in value as of the valuation date from the initial value, the payment at maturity will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the securities. Accordingly, investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities.
| Upside Scenario | If the final share price is greater than the initial share price , the payment at maturity for each security will be equal to $10 plus the upside payment of $3.40. |
|---|---|
| Par Scenario | If the final share price is equal to the initial share price , which means that the final share price has remained unchanged, the payment at maturity will be $10 per security. |
| Downside Scenario | If the final share price is less than the initial share price , which means that the underlying shares have depreciated , you will lose 1% for every 1% decline ( e.g. , a 35% depreciation in the underlying shares will result in the payment at maturity of $6.50 per security). There is no minimum payment at maturity, and you could lose your entire investment. |

How the Jump Securities Work
Payoff Diagram
The payoff diagram below illustrates the payout on the securities at maturity for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the closing price of the underlying shares. The diagram is based on the following terms:
| Stated principal amount: | $10 per security |
|---|---|
| Upside payment: | $3.40 per security (34% of the stated principal amount) |
| Minimum payment at maturity: | None. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. |
How it works
¡ Upside Scenario. If the final share price is greater than the initial share price, the payment at maturity on the securities reflected in the graph above is greater than the $10 stated principal amount but in all cases is equal to and will not exceed the $10 stated principal amount plus the upside payment amount of $3.40. Under the terms of the securities, an investor will receive a payment at maturity of $13.40 per security at any final share price greater than the initial share price.
¡ Par Scenario. If the final share price is equal to the initial share price, the payment at maturity will be equal to the $10 stated principal amount per security.
¡ Downside Scenario. If the final share price is less than the initial share price, the payment at maturity will be less than the stated principal amount of $10 by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage depreciation of the underlying shares. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities.
o For example, if the final share price declines by 35% from the initial share price, the payment at maturity will be $6.50 per security (65% 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 product supplement, index supplement and 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 or guarantee return of any principal . The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest or guarantee the payment of any principal amount at maturity. If the final share price is less than the initial share price, you will receive an amount in cash that is less than the $10 stated principal amount of each security by an amount proportionate to the decline in the closing price of the underlying shares, and you will lose money on your investment. See “How the Jump Securities Work” on page 4 above . There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, and, accordingly, you could lose your entire initial investment in the securities.
§ Appreciation potential is fixed and limited. Where the final share price is greater than the initial share price, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed upside payment of $3.40 per security (34% of the stated principal amount) even if the final share price is significantly greater than the initial share price. See “How the Jump Securities Work” on page 4 above.
§ Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with concentration in a single industry. The securities are subject to certain risks applicable to the gold and silver mining industry. The stocks included in the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index and that are generally tracked by the Fund are stocks of companies primarily engaged in the mining of gold or silver. The underlying shares may be subject to increased price volatility as they are linked to a single industry, market or sector and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that industry, market or sector.
Because the Fund primarily invests in stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) of companies that are involved in the gold mining industry, the underlying shares are subject to certain risks associated with such companies.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in the gold mining industry. Also, gold mining companies are highly dependent on the price of gold. Gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including, among other things, the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs, and short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market.
The Fund invests to a lesser extent in stocks and ADRs of companies involved in the silver mining industry. Silver mining companies are highly dependent on the price of silver. Silver prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. These include general economic trends, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates, central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events, and production costs and disruptions in major silver producing countries such as Mexico and Peru. The supply of silver consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, above-ground inventories of silver may also

Based on the Performance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF
Principal at Risk Securities
influence the market. The major end-uses for silver include industrial applications, jewelry, photography and silverware.
§ The 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:
o the trading price, volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) and dividends of the underlying shares and of the stocks composing the share underlying index (the index which the underlying shares seek to track),
o interest and yield rates in the market,
o geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlying shares or markets generally and which may affect the final share price of the underlying shares,
o the time remaining until the securities mature,
o the occurrence of certain events affecting the underlying shares that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor, and
o any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.
The price of the underlying shares may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF Overview” below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per security if you try to sell your securities prior to maturity.
You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying shares based on their historical performance. If the final share price declines from the initial share price, you will be exposed on a 1 to 1 basis to such decline in the final share price. There can be no assurance that the final share price will be greater than the initial share price so that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the $10 stated principal amount for each security you hold.
§ The price of the underlying shares is subject to currency exchange risk. Because the price of the underlying shares is related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks underlying the share underlying index, 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 currency. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the share underlying index, the price of the underlying shares 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 between countries; and
· the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the countries represented in the share underlying 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 share underlying index and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

Principal at Risk Securities
§ 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.
§ The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the price of the underlying shares at any time other than the valuation date. The final share price will be based on the closing price of the underlying shares on the valuation date, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events. Even if the price of the underlying shares appreciates prior to the valuation date but then drops by the valuation 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 price of the underlying shares prior to such drop. Although the actual price of the underlying shares on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than the final share price, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the closing price of the underlying shares on the valuation date .
§ Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or the stocks composing the share underlying index . Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares, the share underlying index or the stocks that constitute the share underlying index. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the share underlying index .
§ Adjustments to the underlying shares or to the share underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities The investment advisor to the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF, The Van Eck Associates Corporation (the “Investment Advisor” or “Van Eck”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the share underlying index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. NYSE Arca is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying index. NYSE Arca may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the share underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the share underlying index, and, consequently, the price of the underlying shares and the value of the securities. NYSE Arca may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the share underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued share underlying index and will be permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.
§ The underlying shares and the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index are different. The performance of the underlying shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index because the underlying shares will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. It is also possible that the underlying shares may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in this fund, differences in trading hours between the underlying shares and the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index or due to other circumstances. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise the share underlying index but may hold securities not included in the share underlying index.
§ The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that can affect the underlying shares . MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for the underlying shares for certain events affecting the underlying shares, 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 underlying shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, the market
December 2013 Page 7
Jump Securities due February 2, 2015
Based on the Performance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF
Principal at Risk Securities
price of the securities may be materially and adversely affected . The determination by the calculation agent to adjust, or not to adjust, the adjustment factor may materially and adversely affect the market price of the securities.
§ 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 shares, 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 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 will be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.
§ 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. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as 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, MS & Co. has determined the initial share price and will determine the final share price, the share performance factor, as applicable, and the payment that you will receive at maturity, if any.
December 2013 Page 8
Jump Securities due February 2, 2015
Based on the Performance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF
Principal at Risk Securities
Any of these determinations made by MS & Co. in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the final share price in the event of a discontinuance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF or a market disruption event, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity, if any. 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 (and to other instruments linked to the underlying shares or the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index), including trading in the underlying shares and in other instruments related to the underlying shares or the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. Some of our subsidiaries also trade the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index and other financial instruments related to the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have increased the initial share price , and, therefore, could have increased the price at or above which the shares of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF must close on the valuation date so that investors do not suffer a loss on their initial investment in the securities. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the closing price of the shares of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity, if any.
§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. Please read the discussion under “Additional Provisions—Tax considerations” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities (together the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. 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 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” rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the 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 issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Additional Information About the Jump Securities
Please read this information in conjunction with the summary terms on the front cover of this document.
| Additional Provisions: | |
|---|---|
| Share underlying index: | NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index |
| Postponement of maturity date: | If the scheduled valuation date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the valuation date is postponed and falls less than two business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date of the securities will be postponed to the second business day following that valuation date as postponed. |
| Denominations: | $10 and integral multiples thereof |
| Minimum ticketing size: | $1,000 / 100 securities |
| Tax considerations: | Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, each security should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
| Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product 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. | |
| § 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. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the securities for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. | |
| 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” rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the 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 product supplement for Jump Securities and consult 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 issues presented by the aforementioned notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. Additionally, any consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income are not discussed in this document or the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities. The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under “Tax considerations” and the discussion contained in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, 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 |
| Calculation agent: | Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”) |
| 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, $10 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 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 shares, stocks of the share underlying index and in futures and/or options contracts on the underlying shares or any component stocks of the share underlying index listed on major securities markets . Such purchase activity could have increased the price of the underlying shares on the pricing date, and, therefore, could have increased the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on the valuation date so that investors do not suffer a loss on their 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 valuation date, by purchasing and selling the underlying shares, stocks constituting the share underlying index, futures or options contracts on the underlying shares or the component stocks of the share underlying index listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the underlying shares and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the securities or the payment you will receive at maturity, if any. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product 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 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. | |
|---|---|
| Additional considerations: | Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management 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 : | The agent may distribute the securities through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”), as selected dealer, or other dealers, which may include Morgan Stanley & Co.
