Investment Summary

Market-Linked Notes

The Market-Linked Notes due October 4, 2023 Based on the Value of an Equally Weighted Basket Composed of the S&P 500 ® Index, the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index and the TOPIX Index ® (the “notes”) offer the potential for a supplemental redemption amount at maturity based on the closing value of a basket of three indices on the determination date. The notes provide investors:

§ an opportunity to gain exposure to the indices comprising the basket

§ the repayment of principal at maturity

§ 100% participation in any appreciation of the basket over the term of the notes

§ no exposure to any decline of the final basket closing value below the initial basket value if the notes are held to maturity

At maturity, if the basket percent change is less than or equal to zero, you will receive the stated principal amount of $10 per note, without any positive return on your investment. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal at maturity, are subject to our credit risk.

Maturity: Approximately 7 years and 6 months
Participation rate: 100%
Maximum payment at maturity: None
Interest: None

The original issue price of each note is $10. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is less than $10. We estimate that the value of each note on the pricing date is $9.268.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the notes on the pricing date, we take into account that the notes comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the underlying indices. The estimated value of the notes is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying indices, instruments based on the underlying indices, 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 notes?

In determining the economic terms of the notes, including the participation rate, 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 notes 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 notes?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, 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 notes are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 12 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the

notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, 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 notes, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Key Investment Rationale

Market-Linked Notes offer investors exposure to the performance of an equally weighted basket composed of the S&P 500 ® Index, the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index and the TOPIX Index ® and provide for the repayment of principal at maturity. They are for investors who are concerned about principal risk but seek a return based on a basket of equity indices and who are willing to forgo current income in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity plus the potential to receive a supplemental redemption amount, if any.

| Repayment
of Principal | The notes offer investors 100% upside exposure to any positive performance of the basket, while providing for the repayment of principal in full at maturity. |
| --- | --- |
| Upside
Scenario | The basket closing value on the determination date is greater than the initial basket value of 100, and, at maturity, the notes pay the stated principal amount of $10 plus 100% of the positive percent change from the initial basket value to the final basket closing value. There is no limitation on the appreciation potential. |
| Par
Scenario | The final basket closing value is less than or equal to the initial basket value, and, at maturity, the notes pay only the stated principal amount of $10. |

Hypothetical Payout on the Notes

At maturity, for each $10 stated principal amount of notes that you hold, you will receive the stated principal amount of $10 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any. The supplemental redemption amount will be calculated as follows:

supplemental redemption amount = $10 x basket percent change x 100% In no event will the payment at maturity be less than the stated principal amount, regardless of the performance of the underlying indices.
where
basket percent change = (final basket closing value – initial basket value) / initial basket value
Final basket closing value = the basket closing value on the determination date.

In no event will the payment at maturity be less than the stated principal amount.

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity

The table below illustrates the payment at maturity for each note for a hypothetical range of basket percent change and does not cover the complete range of possible payouts at maturity. The table reflects the initial basket value of 100.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the notes. 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. You should also consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the notes.

§ The notes do not pay interest and may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity. If the basket percent change is less than or equal to zero, you will receive only the stated principal amount of $10 for each note you hold at maturity. As the notes do not pay any interest, if the final basket closing value is not sufficiently higher than the initial basket value, the overall return on the notes (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 notes have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates in exchange for a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the basket closing value on the determination date.

§ Changes in the value of the basket components may offset each other. Price movements in the basket components may not correlate with each other. At a time when the price of one basket component increases, the price of the other basket components may decline in value. Therefore, in calculating the payment at maturity, increases in the price of one basket component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by declines in the price of the other basket components.

§ The market price of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the notes in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in the secondary market, including the values of the basket components at any time, the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying indices, dividend rate on the stocks underlying the underlying indices, interest and yield rates in the market, time remaining until the notes mature, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlying indices or equities markets generally and which may affect the closing values of the underlying indices on any determination date and the actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the notes will be affected by the other factors described above. The values of the underlying indices may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Historical Information” below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per note if you try to sell your notes prior to maturity.

§ There are risks associated with investments in notes linked to the value of foreign equity securities. As the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index and the TOPIX ® Index are underlying indices, the notes are linked to the value of foreign equity securities. Investments in notes linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities issued in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions.

§ The notes are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. You are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. The notes are not guaranteed by any other entity. If we default on our obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the notes prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the notes.

§ As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets . As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of such securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of securities issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.

§ The amount payable on the notes is not linked to the value of the underlying indices at any time other than the determination date. The amount payable on the notes will be based on the basket closing value on the determination date, subject to postponement for non-index business days and certain market disruption events. Even if the value of the basket 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 basket prior to such drop. Although the actual value of the basket on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the notes may be higher than the final basket closing value, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the final basket closing value.

§ 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 notes in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the notes, cause the estimated value of the notes 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 notes 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 notes in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the notes less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 12 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, 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 notes 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

Market-Linked Notes due October 4, 2023

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 notes than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the notes. 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 notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your notes at any time after the date of this document 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 notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.

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

§ Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket components; you have no shareholder or other rights in the basket components and are exposed to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket components. As an investor in the notes, you will not have voting rights or the right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the component stocks of either basket component. Furthermore, investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket components or their component stocks. In addition, you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

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

§ The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the notes. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial index value and multiplier for each basket component, will determine the final basket closing value and the basket percent change, and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. Moreover, certain determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the basket closing value in the event of a discontinuance of any basket component or a market disruption event with respect to any basket component.

These potentially subjective determinations may affect the payout to you at maturity. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of Equity-Linked Notes—Supplemental Redemption Amount,” “—Calculation Agent and Calculations,” “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in the Case of an Event of Default” and “—Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date.

§ Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes. One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers have carried out, and will continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the notes (and to other instruments linked to the underlying indices or their component stocks), including trading in the component stocks of the underlying indices and in other instruments related to the underlying indices. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the determination date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the component stocks of the underlying indices and other financial instruments related to the underlying indices 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 index values, and, therefore, could have increased the values at or above which the underlying indices must close on the determination date before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount of the notes. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on the determination date, could adversely affect the closing values of the underlying indices on such determination date, and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

The S&P 500 ® Index, which is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P”), consists of stocks of 500 component companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. The calculation of the S&P 500 ® Index is based on the relative value of the float adjusted aggregate market capitalization of the 500 component companies as of a particular time as compared to the aggregate average market capitalization of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.

Additional Information About the Notes

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

| Additional
Provisions: | |
| --- | --- |
| Denominations: | $10 and integral multiples thereof |
| Interest: | None |
| Bull
or bear notes: | Bull notes |
| Call
right: | The notes are not callable prior to the maturity date. |
| Postponement
of maturity date: | If the determination date for any basket component
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 final determination date as postponed, by which date the basket percent
change will have been determined. |
| Equity-linked
notes: | All references to “equity-linked notes”
or related terms in the accompanying product supplement for equity-linked notes shall be deemed to refer to market-linked
notes when read in conjunction with this document. |
| Minimum
ticketing size: | $1,000 / 100 notes |
| Trustee: | The Bank of New York Mellon |
| Calculation
agent: | MS & Co. |
| Tax
considerations: | In the opinion of our
counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes will be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section of the accompanying product 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 product supplement) of the notes, even though no interest is payable on the notes. In addition,
any gain recognized by U.S. taxable investors on the sale or exchange, or at maturity, of the notes generally will be treated
as ordinary income. We have determined that the “comparable yield” for the notes is a rate of 3.0613%
per annum, compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield set forth above, the “projected payment
schedule” for a note (assuming an issue price of $10) consists of a single projected amount equal to $12.5588 due at
maturity. You should read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying
product supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes. |
| | 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 note) that will be deemed to have accrued
with respect to a note 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. |

| | 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 notes 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 note. If you are a non-U.S. investor, please also read the section
of the accompanying product supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.” |
| --- | --- |
| | You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction. |
| | 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, 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 notes. |
| Use of proceeds and hedging: | The proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used by us for
general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $10 per note issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions
in order to meet our obligations under the notes, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the agent’s commissions.
The costs of the notes borne by you and described on page 3 above comprise the agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing,
structuring and hedging the notes. On or prior to the pricing date, we hedged our anticipated exposure
in connection with the notes by entering into hedging transactions with our affiliates and/or third party dealers. We expect our
hedging counterparties to have taken positions in the stocks constituting the underlying indices and in futures and/or options
contracts on the underlying indices or the component stocks of the underlying indices listed on major securities markets. Such
purchase activity could have increased the initial index values, and, therefore, could have increased the values at or above which
the underlying indices must close on the determination date before you would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the stated
principal amount of the notes. In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term
of the notes, including on the determination date, by purchasing and selling the stocks constituting the underlying indices, futures
or options contracts on the underlying indices or their component stocks 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. As a result, these
entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy may involve greater
and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the determination date approaches. We cannot give any assurance that our
hedging activities will not affect the values of the underlying indices, and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the notes
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 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 notes. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy
the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the
Plan. In addition, we and certain of our affiliates, including MS &
Co., may be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or a “disqualified person” within
the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to many Plans, as well as many
individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also “Plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit
transactions between Plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA
or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the notes are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which MS
& Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the notes are acquired pursuant to
an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules
could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for 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 notes. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of 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 notes. Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the notes may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited. Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, transferee or holder of the notes will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the notes that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or with any assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding and disposition are not prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief. Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the notes do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any Similar Law. The sale of any notes to any Plan or plan subject to Similar Law is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan. However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the notes if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of 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 notes by the account, plan or annuity.
