Market Linked Notes due June 10, 2024 Based on the Performance of an Equally Weighted Basket of Eighteen Stocks
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
The Market Linked Notes due June 10, 2024 Based on the Performance of a Basket of Eighteen Stocks, which we refer to as the notes, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest. Instead, at maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of notes that you hold an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based upon the performance, as determined on the 7 averaging dates, of an equally weighted basket composed of the 18 basket stocks. The basket is composed of the common stocks, or in the case of Unilever PLC, the American Depositary Shares, of the following issuers: The Boeing Company, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Starbucks Corporation, Barrick Gold Corporation, Unilever PLC, Microsoft Corporation, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., The Procter & Gamble Company, Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Merck & Co., Inc., Chevron Corporation, Valero Energy Corporation, Las Vegas Sands Corp., L Brands, Inc., The Walt Disney Company, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Apple Inc. (collectively, the “basket”). We refer to the common stocks or American Depositary Shares, as applicable, of these issuers each individually as a “basket stock” and collectively as the “basket stocks.” These long-dated notes are for investors who are concerned about principal risk but seek a return based on a basket of stocks and who are willing to forgo current income in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the average of the basket closing values on the 7 averaging dates. The notes are notes issued as part of MSFL’s Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.
All payments are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. These notes 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.
• The stated principal amount of each note is $1,000.
• We will not pay interest on the notes.
• At maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount of notes that you hold, you will receive $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount if any. In no event will the payment due at maturity be less than $1,000 per note.
• The supplemental redemption amount will equal (i) $1,000 times (ii) the average basket percent change times (iii) the participation rate, provided that the supplemental redemption amount will not be less than $0 per note.
• The participation rate will equal 125%.
• The average basket percent change will equal (average basket closing value – initial basket value) / initial basket value.
• The basket is equally weighted and the initial basket value is 100, which is equal to the sum of the products of (i) the closing price of one share of each basket stock on December 5, 2017, the day we priced the notes for initial sale to the public (which we refer to as the pricing date), which we refer to as the applicable initial share price, and (ii) the multiplier for such basket stock on the pricing date.
• The average basket closing value will equal the arithmetic average of the basket closing values on the 7 averaging dates over the term of the notes.
• The basket closing value will equal, on any averaging date, the sum of the products of (i) the closing price of one share of each basket stock on such date times the adjustment factor for such basket stock on such date and (ii) the multiplier for such basket stock on such date.
• The adjustment factor for each basket stock was set at 1.0 on the pricing date and may be adjusted for certain corporate events relating to that basket stock.
• The multiplier for each basket stock was set on the pricing date based on each basket stock’s closing price on such date so that each basket component represents its applicable basket stock weighting in the predetermined initial basket value. Each multiplier will remain constant for the terms of the notes.
• The averaging dates will be December 5, 2018, December 5, 2019, December 7, 2020, December 6, 2021, December 5, 2022, December 5, 2023 and June 5, 2024, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events.
• Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket or the basket stocks.
• The issuers of the basket stocks are not involved in this offering of notes in any way and will have no obligation of any kind with respect to the notes.
• The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
• The estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is $958.30 per note. See “Summary of Pricing Supplement” beginning on PS-3.
• The CUSIP number for the notes is 61768CST5 and the ISIN for the notes is US61768CST52.
You should read the more detailed description of the notes in this pricing supplement. In particular, you should review and understand the descriptions in “Summary of Pricing Supplement” and “Description of Notes.”
The notes are riskier than ordinary debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on PS-10.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators have not approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this pricing supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT
The following summary describes the notes in general terms only. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors.”
The notes are medium-term debt securities issued by MSFL and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. At maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount of notes that you hold, you will receive an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based on the performance of the basket, as measured on the 7 averaging dates. In no event will the payment due at maturity be less than the stated principal amount of $1,000 per note. All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal at maturity, are subject to our credit risk.
| Each note costs $1,000 |

| We refer to the common stocks, or in the case of Unilever PLC, the American Depositary Shares, of the following eighteen companies collectively as the “basket stocks” and each separately as a “basket stock”: The Boeing Company, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, Starbucks Corporation, Barrick Gold Corporation, Unilever PLC, Microsoft Corporation, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., The Procter & Gamble Company, Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Merck & Co., Inc., Chevron Corporation, Valero Energy Corporation, Las Vegas Sands Corp., L Brands, Inc., The Walt Disney Company, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Apple Inc. |
| The original issue price of each note 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 $1,000. We estimate that the value of each note on the pricing date is $958.30. 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 basket stocks. The estimated value
of the notes is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the basket stocks,
instruments based on the basket stocks, 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 |
Field: Page; Sequence: 3; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 3 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
| | 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 basket stocks, 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 6 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 basket stocks, 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. |

| The closing prices of the basket stocks may come to be based on the value of the common stock or shares, as applicable, of companies other than the issuers of the basket stocks | Following certain corporate events relating to a basket stock, such as a stock-for-stock merger where the basket stock is not the surviving entity, the closing price that had been based on the original basket stock will instead be based on the closing price of the common stock or shares, as applicable, of a successor corporation to the issuer of the basket stock. Following certain other corporate events relating to a basket stock, such as a merger event where holders of the basket stock would receive all or a substantial portion of their consideration in cash or a significant cash dividend or distribution of property with respect to such basket stock, the value of such cash consideration will be reallocated to the other, unaffected basket stock. We describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting those other stocks in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes—Antidilution Adjustments.” You should read this section in order to understand these and other adjustments that may be made to your notes. |
| You have no shareholder rights | Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket stocks. As an investor in the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the basket stocks. In addition, you do not have the right to exchange your securities for the basket stocks at any time. |
| Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will be the calculation agent | We have appointed our affiliate, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as MS & Co., to act as calculation agent for The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, the trustee for our senior notes. As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial share price for each basket stock and the multiplier for each basket stock, and will determine the basket closing values, the average basket closing value, the average basket percent change, the adjustments to be made, if any, to the adjustment factors to reflect certain corporate and other events affecting the basket stocks, and whether a market disruption event has occurred, and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. |
| Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will be the agent; conflicts of interest | The agent for the offering of notes, MS & Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior written approval of the customer.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUTS ON THE NOTES
At maturity, for each $1,000 stated principal amount of notes that you hold, you will receive the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any. The supplemental redemption amount will be based on the arithmetic average of the basket closing values on the 7 averaging dates and will be calculated as follows:
(i) $1,000 times (ii) the average basket percent change times (iii) the participation rate of 125%.
In no event will the supplemental redemption amount be less than zero.
The table below illustrates the payment at maturity for each note for a hypothetical range of average basket percent changes and does not cover the complete range of possible payouts at maturity.
All payments on the notes, including the repayment of principal at maturity, are subject to our credit risk.

The average basket closing value is the arithmetic average of the basket closing values on 7 averaging dates over the term of the notes. Because there are 7 averaging dates spread over 6.5 years, positive performances of the basket at one time may be offset by lesser positive performance or negative performance at other times. See “Risk Factors─The supplemental redemption amount, if any, is based on the arithmetic average of the basket closing values on the 7 averaging dates over the term of the notes, and therefore the payment at maturity may be less than if it were based solely on the basket closing value on the final averaging date” below.

RISK FACTORS
The notes are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities, and, unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, at maturity, the notes will pay an amount equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus a supplemental redemption amount, if any, based upon the performance, as determined on the 7 averaging dates, of an equally-weighted basket composed of the 18 basket stocks. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the notes. Please also see the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
| The notes do not pay interest and may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity | The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay you interest on the notes. If the average basket percent change, as calculated on the 7 averaging dates, is less than or equal to 0%, you will receive only the stated principal amount of $1,000 for each note you hold at maturity. As the notes do not pay any interest, if the basket does not appreciate sufficiently over the term of the notes, 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 ours 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 upon the performance of the equally weighted basket composed of the 18 basket stocks. |
|---|---|
| The supplemental amount, if any, is based on the arithmetic average of the basket closing values on the 7 averaging dates over the term of the notes, and therefore the payment at maturity may be less than if it were based solely on the basket closing value on the final averaging date | The supplemental redemption amount, if any, will be calculated by reference to an average of the basket closing values on the 7 averaging dates over the term of the notes. Therefore, in calculating the average basket closing value at maturity, positive performances of the basket on some averaging dates may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser or negative performances on other averaging dates. Similarly, the average basket closing value may be less than the basket closing value on the final averaging date, and as a result, the payment at maturity you receive may be less than if it were based solely on the basket closing value on the final averaging date. |
| The notes will not be listed 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 market price of the notes may 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 | |
| market price and relative performance of each of the basket stocks |
Field: Page; Sequence: 10; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 10 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
| at any time and, in particular, on the averaging dates; | |
|---|---|
| · the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in price) and dividend yield, if any, of each of the basket stocks; | |
| · interest and yield rates in the market; | |
| · geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the basket stocks or stock markets generally and which may affect the average basket closing value; | |
| · the time remaining until the notes mature; | |
| · the occurrence of certain events affecting a particular basket stock that may or may not require an adjustment to its adjustment factor, or adjustments to the basket; and | |
| · any 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. Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your notes prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your notes at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount of $1,000 per note if the closing prices of the basket stocks at the time of sale are at or below their closing prices on the pricing date, or if market interest rates rise. You cannot predict the future performance of any of the basket stocks based on their historical performance. There can be no assurance that the average basket closing value will be higher than the initial basket value such that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the $1,000 stated principal amount of the notes. | |
| 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. 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 rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and | 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 |
Field: Page; Sequence: 11; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 11 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
| 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 | 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 6 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 basket stocks, 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 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 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 notes may be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above. |
| Changes in the value of one or more of the basket stocks may offset each other | Price movements in the basket stocks may not correlate with
each other. At a time when the price of one or more basket stocks increases, the price of the other basket stock(s) may not increase
as much, or may even decline in value. Therefore, in calculating the average basket closing value on the final averaging date,
an increase in the price of one or more basket stocks may be moderated, or wholly offset, by a lesser increase or decline in the
prices of the other basket stock(s). For further information on each of the basket stocks, please see the section of this pricing
supplement entitled “Description of Notes—Historical Information” as well as Annex A to this pricing supplement.
You can review the historical closing prices for each of the basket stocks for each calendar quarter in the period from January
1, 2014 through December 5, 2017 in Annex A, and a graph showing historical values for a basket composed of the basket stocks in
the period from January 1, 2012 through December 5, 2017 in the section of this pricing supplement entitled “Description
of Notes—Historical Graph.” You cannot predict the future performance of any basket stock, or of the basket as a whole,
or whether an increase in the value of one or more basket stocks will be offset by a decrease in the value of the other basket
stock(s), based on the historical information included in this pricing supplement. In addition, there can be no assurance that the average basket
closing value will be higher than the initial basket value such that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the $1,000
stated principal amount of the notes. |
| We are not affiliated with | We are not affiliated with any of the issuers of the basket stocks and the issuers of |
Field: Page; Sequence: 12; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 12 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
| the issuers of the basket stocks | the basket stocks are not involved with this offering in any way. Consequently, we have no ability to control the actions of the issuers of the basket stocks, including any corporate actions of the type that would require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor of the basket stocks. The issuers of the basket stocks have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your notes. None of the money you pay for the notes will go to the issuers of the basket stocks. |
|---|---|
| We may engage in business with or involving one or more of the issuers of the basket stocks without regard to your interests | We or our affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with one or more of the issuers of the basket stocks without regard to your interests, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, one or more of the issuers of the basket stocks or their affiliates or subsidiaries, or providing advisory services to one or more of the issuers of the basket stocks, such as merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of our business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information about one or more of the issuers of the basket stocks. Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to the basket stocks. These research reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the basket stocks. The basket was compiled independently of any research recommendations and may not be consistent with such recommendations. Furthermore, the composition of the basket will not be affected by any change that we or our affiliates may make in our recommendations or decisions to begin or discontinue coverage of any of the issuers of the basket stocks in our research reports. |
| You have no shareholder rights | Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the basket stocks. 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 any basket stock. |
| The closing prices of the basket stocks may come to be based on the value of the common stock or shares, as applicable, of companies other than the issuers of the basket stocks | Following certain corporate events relating to a basket stock, such as a stock-for-stock merger where the basket stock is not the surviving entity, you will receive at maturity an amount based on the closing price of the common stock or shares, as applicable, of a successor corporation to the issuer of the basket stock. Following certain other corporate events relating to a basket stock, such as a merger event where holders of the basket stock would receive all or a substantial portion of their consideration in cash or a significant cash dividend or distribution of property with respect to such basket stock, the value of such cash consideration will be reallocated to the other, unaffected basket stock. We describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting those other stocks in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of Notes—Antidilution Adjustments.” You should read this section in order to understand these and other adjustments that may be made to your notes. |
| The adjustments to the adjustment factors the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every corporate event that can affect the basket stocks | MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for a basket stock for certain events affecting the basket stock, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the issuer of the basket stock, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every corporate event or every distribution that could affect the basket stocks. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments if the issuer of a basket stock or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for that basket stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust an adjustment factor, the market price of the notes may be materially and adversely affected. The determination by the calculation agent to adjust, or not to adjust, an adjustment factor may materially and adversely affect the market price of the notes. |

| There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of equity securities issued by a foreign company | As the common stock of Barrick Gold Corporation and the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC are basket stocks, the notes are linked to the value of foreign equity securities. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities issued in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. 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. |
|---|---|
| There are important differences between the rights of holders of American Depositary Shares and the rights of holders of the common stock of a foreign company | With respect to Unilever PLC, the basket stock is the American Depositary Shares and not the ordinary shares represented by the American Depositary Shares, and there exist important differences between the rights of holders of American Depositary Shares and the rights of holders of the corresponding ordinary shares. Each ADS is a security evidenced by American depositary receipts that represents a certain number of ordinary shares of a foreign company. Generally, American Depositary Shares are issued under a deposit agreement, which sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the depositary, the foreign issuer and holders of the American Depositary Shares, which may be different from the rights of holders of ordinary shares of the foreign issuer. For example, the foreign issuer may make distributions in respect of its ordinary shares that are not passed on to the holders of its American Depositary Shares. Any such differences between the rights of holders of American Depositary Shares and holders of the corresponding ordinary shares may be significant and may materially and adversely affect the value of the notes. |
| 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 share price and multiplier for each basket stock, will calculate the basket closing values and the average basket closing value and will determine what adjustments should be made, if any, to the adjustment factor for a basket stock to reflect certain corporate and other events, whether a market disruption event has occurred and the payment to you 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 calculation of the average basket closing value (and of any adjustments to the adjustment factors). These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of Notes—Initial Basket Value,” “—Average Basket Closing Value,” “—Postponement of Averaging Dates,” “—Closing Price,” “—Trading Day,” “—Calculation Agent,” “—Market Disruption Event,” “Antidilution Adjustments,” and “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default.” In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. |
| Hedging and trading | One or more of our affilates and/or third-party dealers have carried out, and will |

activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the notes continue to carry out, hedging activities related to the notes, including trading in the basket stocks and in options contracts on the basket stocks, as well as in other instruments related to the basket stocks. 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 final averaging date approaches. Some of our other affiliates also trade the basket stocks and other financial instruments related to the basket stocks 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 prices of the basket stocks and, therefore, could have increased the prices at or above which the basket stocks must close on the averaging dates before an investor would receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on the averaging dates, could adversely affect the value of the basket stocks and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

(ii) if such Basket Stock (or any such other security) is a security of the NASDAQ, the official closing price published by the NASDAQ on such day, or

(iii) if such Basket Stock (or any such other security) is not listed on any national securities exchange but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.
If such Basket Stock (or any such other security) is listed on any national securities exchange but the last reported sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Closing Price for one share of such Basket Stock (or one unit of any such other security) on any Trading Day will mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the NASDAQ or the OTC Bulletin Board on such day. If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to a Basket Stock (or any such other security) or the last reported sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, for such Basket Stock (or any such other security) is not available pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, then the Closing Price for any Trading Day will be the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for such Basket Stock (or any such other security) for such Trading Day obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent. Bids of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and its successors (“MS & Co.”) or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. If no bid prices are provided from any third party dealers, the Closing Price for such Basket Stock will be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (acting in good faith) taking into account any information that it deems relevant. The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto or, if applicable, the OTC Reporting Facility operated by FINRA. See “—Antidilution Adjustments” below.
| Adjustment Factor | The Adjustment Factor for each Basket Stock was initially set at 1.0 on the Pricing Date and will be adjusted for certain corporate events relating to that Basket Stock. See “—Antidilution Adjustments” below. |
|---|---|
| Trading Day | With respect to any Basket Stock, a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States. |
| Book Entry Note or Certificated Note | Book Entry.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you, the Trustee and us.
All calculations with respect to the Payment at Maturity will be rounded to the nearest one billionth, with five ten-billionths rounded upward (e.g., .9876543215 would be rounded to .987654322); all dollar amounts related to determination of the amount of cash payable per Note will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate number of Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
Because the Calculation Agent is our affiliate, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and its affiliates may be adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the Calculation Agent must make in determining the Average Basket Closing Value, what adjustments should be made, if any, to the Adjustment Factor with respect to a Basket Stock or whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred. See “—Market Disruption Event,” “—Postponement of Averaging Dates” and “—Antidilution Adjustments” below. MS & Co. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as Calculation Agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.
Market Disruption Event “Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any Basket Stock:
(i) the occurrence or existence of any of:
Field: Page; Sequence: 20; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 20 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
(a) a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares (as defined below), as applicable, on the primary market for such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market; or
(b) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market for such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, as a result of which the reported trading prices for such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market are materially inaccurate; or
(c) the suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary market for trading in options contracts related to such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, if available, during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in the applicable market,
in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and
(ii) a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described in clause (i) above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind or adjust all or a material portion of the hedge position in such Basket Stock with respect to the Notes.
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the primary market, (2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the options contract on any Basket Stock will not constitute a Market Disruption Event, (3) a suspension of trading in options contracts on any Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, by the primary securities market trading in such options, if available, by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by such securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in options contracts related to such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, and (4) a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary securities market on which options contracts related to any Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, are traded will not include any time when such securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.

| Postponement of Averaging Dates | If a Market Disruption Event with respect to any Basket Stock occurs on any scheduled Averaging Date, or if any such scheduled Averaging Date is not a Trading Day with respect to any Basket Stock, the Basket Closing Value solely for such affected Basket Stock shall be postponed and the Closing Price with respect to such affected Basket Stock shall be determined on the immediately succeeding Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event shall have occurred with respect to such affected Basket Stock; provided that the Closing Price for any affected Basket Stock shall not be determined on a date later than the fifth scheduled Trading Day after the scheduled Averaging Date, and if such date is not a Trading Day, or if there is a Market Disruption Event with respect to the affected Basket Stock on such date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on such date as the mean, as determined by the Calculating Agent, of the bid prices for the Basket Stocks for such date obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as shall make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent. Bids of MS & Co. or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. If no bid prices are provided from any third-party dealers, the Closing Price shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion (acting in good faith) taking into account any information that it deems relevant. |

| Alternate Exchange Calculation | |
| in Case of an Event of Default | If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the Notes (the “Acceleration Amount”) will be an amount, determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, that is equal to the cost of having a Qualified Financial Institution, of the kind and selected as described below, expressly assume all our payment and other obligations with respect to the Notes as of that day and as if no default or acceleration had occurred, or to undertake other obligations providing substantially equivalent economic value to you with respect to the Notes. That cost will equal: |
• the lowest amount that a Qualified Financial Institution would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking, plus
• the reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the holders of the Notes in preparing any documentation necessary for this assumption or undertaking.
During the Default Quotation Period for the Notes, which we describe below, the holders of the Notes and/or we may request a Qualified Financial Institution to provide a quotation of the amount it would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking. If either party obtains a quotation, it must notify the other party in writing of the quotation. The amount referred to in the first bullet point above will equal the lowest—or, if there is only one, the only—quotation obtained, and as to which notice is so given, during the Default Quotation Period. With respect to any
Field: Page; Sequence: 22; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 22 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
quotation, however, the party not obtaining the quotation may object, on reasonable and significant grounds, to the assumption or undertaking by the Qualified Financial Institution providing the quotation and notify the other party in writing of those grounds within two Business Days after the last day of the Default Quotation Period, in which case that quotation will be disregarded in determining the Acceleration Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of, or any analogous proceeding is filed with respect to MSFL or Morgan Stanley, then depending on applicable bankruptcy law, your claim may be limited to an amount that could be less than the Acceleration Amount.
If the maturity of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default as described above, we shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the Acceleration Amount and the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the Notes as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of such acceleration.
Default Quotation Period
The Default Quotation Period is the period beginning on the day the Acceleration Amount first becomes due and ending on the third Business Day after that day, unless:
• no quotation of the kind referred to above is obtained, or
• every quotation of that kind obtained is objected to within five Business Days after the due date as described above.
If either of these two events occurs, the Default Quotation Period will continue until the third Business Day after the first Business Day on which prompt notice of a quotation is given as described above. If that quotation is objected to as described above within five Business Days after that first Business Day, however, the Default Quotation Period will continue as described in the prior sentence and this sentence.
In any event, if the Default Quotation Period and the subsequent two Business Day objection period have not ended before the final Averaging Date, then the Acceleration Amount will equal the principal amount of the Notes.
Qualified Financial Institutions
For the purpose of determining the Acceleration Amount at any time, a Qualified Financial Institution must be a financial institution organized under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or Europe, which at that time has outstanding debt obligations with a stated maturity of one year or less from the date of issue and rated either:
Field: Page; Sequence: 23; Value: 2

• A-2 or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that rating agency, or
• P-2 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service or any successor, or any other comparable rating then used by that rating agency.
Antidilution Adjustments The Adjustment Factor with respect to a Basket Stock will be adjusted as follows:
-
If a Basket Stock (or any shares of Unilever PLC which underlie the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC (the “Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares”)) is subject to a stock split or reverse stock split, then once such split has become effective, the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share of such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares; provided however, that, with respect to the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC, if (and to the extent that) Unilever PLC or the depositary for such American Depositary Shares has adjusted the number of Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares represented by each American Depositary Share of Unilever PLC so that the price of the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC would not be affected by such stock split or reverse stock split, no adjustment will be made to the Adjustment Factor.
-
If a Basket Stock (or the Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares) is subject (i) to a stock dividend (issuance of additional shares of such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable,) that is given ratably to all holders of shares of such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, or (ii) to a distribution of such Basket Stock or Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, as a result of the triggering of any provision of the corporate charter of the issuer of such Basket Stock, then once the dividend has become effective and such Basket Stock is trading ex-dividend, the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock will be adjusted so that the new Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock will equal the prior Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock plus the product of (i) the number of shares issued with respect to one share of such Basket Stock and (ii) the prior Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock; provided, however, that, with respect to the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC, if (and to the extent that) the Unilever PLC or the depositary for such American Depositary Shares has adjusted the number of Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares represented by each American Depositary Share of Unilever PLC so that the price of the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC would not be affected by such stock dividend or stock distribution, no adjustment will be made to the Adjustment Factor.
-
If the issuer of a Basket Stock issues rights or warrants to all holders of a Basket Stock to subscribe for or purchase such
Field: Page; Sequence: 24; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 24 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
Basket Stock at an exercise price per share less than the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on both (i) the date the exercise price of such rights or warrants is determined and (ii) the expiration date of such rights or warrants, and if the expiration date of such rights or warrants precedes the maturity of the Notes, then the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock and a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of such Basket Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of such Basket Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights or warrants and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of such Basket Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of such Basket Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of such Basket Stock so offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights or warrants would purchase at the Closing Price on the expiration date of such rights or warrants, which shall be determined by multiplying such total number of shares offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such Closing Price.
- There will be no required adjustments to an Adjustment Factor to reflect cash dividends or other distributions paid with respect to a Basket Stock other than distributions described in paragraph 2, paragraph 3 and clauses (i), (iv) and (v) of the first sentence of paragraph 5 and Extraordinary Dividends as described below. A cash dividend or other distribution with respect to any Basket Stock will be deemed to be an “Extraordinary Dividend” if such cash dividend or distribution exceeds the immediately preceding non-Extraordinary Dividend for such Basket Stock by an amount equal to at least 10% of the Closing Price of such Basket Stock (as adjusted for any subsequent corporate event requiring an adjustment hereunder, such as a stock split or reverse stock split) on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date (that is, the day on and after which transactions in such Basket Stock on the primary U.S. organized securities exchange or trading system on which such Basket Stock is traded or trading system no longer carry the right to receive that cash dividend or that cash distribution) for the payment of such Extraordinary Dividend (such Closing Price, the “Base Closing Price”). Subject to the following sentence, if an Extraordinary Dividend occurs with respect to any Basket Stock, the Adjustment Factor with respect to such Basket Stock will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date with respect to such Extraordinary Dividend so that the new Adjustment Factor will equal the product of (i) the then-current Adjustment Factor and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Base Closing Price, and the denominator of which is the amount by which the Base Closing Price exceeds the Extraordinary Dividend Amount. If any Extraordinary Dividend Amount is at least 35% of the Base Closing Price, then, instead of adjusting the Adjustment Factor of such Affected Basket Stock (as defined below), the Payment at Maturity will be determined as described in paragraph 5 below, and the Extraordinary Dividend
Field: Page; Sequence: 25; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 25 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
will be allocated equally among the Unaffected Basket Stocks as described in clause (c)(ii) of paragraph 5 below. The “Extraordinary Dividend Amount” with respect to an Extraordinary Dividend for any Basket Stock will equal (i) in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that constitute regular dividends, the amount per share of such Extraordinary Dividend minus the amount per share of the immediately preceding non-Extraordinary Dividend for such Basket Stock or (ii) in the case of cash dividends or other distributions that do not constitute regular dividends, the amount per share of such Extraordinary Dividend. The value of the non-cash component of an Extraordinary Dividend will be determined on the ex-dividend date for such distribution by the Calculation Agent, whose determination will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. A distribution on any Basket Stock described in clause (i), (iv) or (v) of the first sentence of paragraph 5 below will cause an adjustment to the Adjustment Factor pursuant only to clause (i), (iv) or (v) of the first sentence of paragraph 5, as applicable.
- Any of the following shall constitute a Reorganization Event: (i) a Basket Stock is reclassified or changed, including, without limitation, as a result of the issuance of any tracking stock by the issuer of such Basket Stock, (ii) the issuer of a Basket Stock or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of the issuer of such Basket Stock (an “Issuer Successor”) has been subject to any merger, combination or consolidation and is not the surviving entity, (iii) the issuer of a Basket Stock or any Issuer Successor completes a statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (other than pursuant to clause (ii) above), (iv) the issuer of a Basket Stock is liquidated, (v) the issuer of a Basket Stock issues to all of its shareholders equity securities of an issuer other than the issuer of such Basket Stock (other than in a transaction described in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) (a “Spinoff Stock”) or (vi) the issuer of a Basket Stock or any Issuer Successor is the subject of a tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction on all of the outstanding shares of such Basket Stock. If any Reorganization Event occurs, in each case as a result of which the holders of a Basket Stock receive any equity security listed on a national securities exchange (a “Marketable Security”), other securities or other property, assets or cash (collectively, “Exchange Property”), the Adjustment Factor for such Basket Stock and/or any for any New Stock (as defined below) on any Averaging Date (or, if applicable, in the case of Spinoff Stock, the ex-dividend date for the distribution of such Spinoff Stock) will be determined in accordance with the following:
(a) if such Basket Stock continues to be outstanding (if applicable, as reclassified upon the issuance of any tracking stock), the Adjustment Factor in effect on such Averaging Date (taking into account any adjustments for any distributions described under clause (c)(i) below); and
(b) for each Marketable Security received in such Reorganization Event (each a “New Stock”), including the
Field: Page; Sequence: 26; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 26 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
issuance of any tracking stock or Spinoff Stock or the receipt of any stock received in exchange for such Basket Stock, the number of shares of the New Stock received with respect to one share of the Basket Stock multiplied by the Adjustment Factor in effect for such Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event (the “New Stock Adjustment Factor”), as adjusted to such Averaging Date (taking into account any adjustments for distributions described under clause (c)(i) below); and
(c) for any cash and any other property or securities other than Marketable Securities received in such Reorganization Event (the “Non-Stock Exchange Property”),
(i) if the combined value of the amount of Non-Stock Exchange Property received per share of such Basket Stock, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion on the effective date of such Reorganization Event (the “Non-Stock Exchange Property Value”), by holders of the Basket Stock is less than 25% of the Closing Price of the Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event, a number of shares of the Basket Stock, if applicable, and of any New Stock received in connection with such Reorganization Event, if applicable, with respective values in proportion to the relative Closing Prices of the Basket Stock and any such New Stock, and with an aggregate value equal to the Non-Stock Exchange Property Value multiplied by the Adjustment Factor in effect for such Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event, based on such Closing Prices, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion, on the effective date of such Reorganization Event; and the number of such shares of the Basket Stock or any New Stock determined in accordance with this clause (c)(i) will be added at the time of such adjustment to the Adjustment Factor in subparagraph (a) above and/or the New Stock Adjustment Factor in subparagraph (b) above, as applicable, or
(ii) if the Non-Stock Exchange Property Value is equal to or exceeds 25% of the Closing Price of such Basket Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event or, if the Basket Stock is surrendered exclusively for Non-Stock Exchange Property (in each case, a “Reference Basket Event”), the Adjustment Factor of each Basket Stock (each an “Unaffected Basket Stock”) other than the Basket Stock affected by such Reference Basket Event (the “Affected Basket Stock”) shall equal (A) the then-current Adjustment Factor for such Unaffected Basket Stock plus (B) (i) the amount of cash received per share
Field: Page; Sequence: 27; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 27 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
of the Affected Basket Stock times the applicable Adjustment Factor for such Affected Basket Stock on the date of such Reference Basket Event times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Adjustment Factor of such Unaffected Basket Stock as of the Trading Day immediately following the day on which a holder of the Affected Basket Stock receives such cash and the denominator of which is the sum of the products of the Closing Price of each of the Unaffected Basket Stocks and the corresponding Adjustment Factor of such Unaffected Basket Stock, each determined by the Calculation Agent on such Trading Day.
Following the allocation of any Extraordinary Dividend to the Unaffected Basket Stocks pursuant to paragraph 4 above or any Reorganization Event described in paragraph 5, the Basket Closing Value on any Averaging Date determined by the Calculation Agent will be an amount equal to the sum of:
(x) if applicable, the Closing Price of each Basket Stock times the applicable Multiplier times the Adjustment Factor then in effect for such Basket Stock; and
(y) if applicable, the Closing Price of each New Stock times the applicable Multiplier times the New Stock Adjustment Factor then in effect for such New Stock.
For purposes of paragraph 5 above, in the case of a consummated tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction involving Exchange Property of a particular type, Exchange Property shall be deemed to include the amount of cash or other property paid by the offeror in the tender or exchange offer with respect to such Exchange Property (in an amount determined on the basis of the rate of exchange in such tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction). In the event of a tender or exchange offer or a going-private transaction with respect to Exchange Property in which an offeree may elect to receive cash or other property, Exchange Property shall be deemed to include the kind and amount of cash and other property received by offerees who elect to receive cash.
Following the occurrence of any Reorganization Event referred to in paragraphs 4 or 5 above, (i) references to “Basket Stock” under “—Closing Price” and “—Market Disruption Event” shall be deemed to also refer to any New Stock, and (ii) all other references in this pricing supplement to “Basket Stock” shall be deemed to refer to any New Stock and references to a “share” or “shares” of a Basket Stock shall be deemed to refer to the applicable unit or units of such Exchange Property, including any New Stock, unless the context otherwise requires. The New Stock Adjustment Factor(s) resulting from any Reorganization Event described in paragraph 5 above or similar adjustment under paragraph 4 above shall be subject to the adjustments set forth in paragraphs 1 through 5 hereof.

In the event that the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC are no longer listed on a primary U.S. securities exchange and the Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares are listed on a primary U.S. securities exchange, the Calculation Agent, in its sole discretion, will adjust the Adjustment Factor such that the product of the last reported sale price of the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC and the Adjustment Factor at the last time the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC were listed equals the product of the last reported sale price of the Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares and the adjusted Adjustment Factor at such time, and the Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares will take the place of the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC.
In the event that Unilever PLC or the depositary for the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC elects, in the absence of any of the events described in paragraph 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 above, to change the number of the Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares that are represented by each American Depositary Share, the Adjustment Factor on any Trading Day after the change becomes effective will be proportionally adjusted. In addition, if any event requiring an adjustment to be made to the Adjustment Factor pursuant to paragraph 2, 3, 4 or 5 above would result in a different adjustment with respect to the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC than with respect to the Unilever PLC Ordinary Shares, the Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor based solely on the effect of such event on the American Depositary Shares of Unilever PLC.
If a Closing Price for a Basket Stock is no longer available for a Basket Stock for whatever reason, including the liquidation of the issuer of such Basket Stock or the subjection of the issuer to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law and a Closing Price is not determined pursuant to adjustments made under paragraph 5 above, then the value of such Basket Stock will equal zero for so long as no Closing Price is available. There will be no substitution for any such Basket Stock.
No adjustment to any Adjustment Factor for any Basket Stock (including for this purpose, any New Stock Adjustment Factor) will be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least .1% in the Adjustment Factor of such Basket Stock then in effect. The Adjustment Factor resulting from any of the adjustments specified above will be rounded to the nearest one billionth, with five ten-billionths rounded upward. Antidilution Adjustments will be made up to and including the Final Averaging Date.
No adjustments to the Adjustment Factor for any Basket Stock or method of calculating the Adjustment Factor will be required other than those specified above. The adjustments specified above do not cover all of the events that could affect the Closing Price of a Basket Stock, including, without limitation, a partial tender or exchange offer for a Basket Stock.

The Calculation Agent shall be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to any Adjustment Factor for a Basket Stock, any New Stock Adjustment Factor or method of calculating the Non-Stock Exchange Property Value and of any related determinations and calculations with respect to any distributions of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with any corporate event described in paragraphs 1 through 5 above, and its determinations and calculations with respect thereto shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
The Calculation Agent will provide information as to any adjustments to any Adjustment Factor, or to the method of calculating the Average Basket Closing Value on the Final Averaging Date made pursuant to paragraph 5 above, upon written request by any investor in the Notes.

therefore, could have increased the prices at or above which the Basket Stocks must close on the Averaging Dates before you would receive a Payment at Maturity that exceeds the Stated Principal Amount. In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the Notes by purchasing and selling Basket Stocks, futures or options contracts on the Basket Stocks that are 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, including by selling any such securities or instruments on any Averaging Date. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of the Basket Stocks and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the Notes or the Payment at Maturity.

| Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest | Selected dealers, which may include our affiliates, and their financial advisors will collectively receive from the agent a fixed sales commission of $45 for each Note they sell. |
MS & Co. is an affiliate of MSFL and a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and it and other affiliates of ours expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the Notes.
MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account.
In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, the Agent may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Notes. Specifically, the Agent may sell more Notes than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position in the Notes for its own account. The Agent must close out any naked short position by purchasing the Notes in the open market after the offering. A naked short position in the Notes is more likely to be created if the Agent is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the Agent may bid for, and purchase, the Notes in the open market to stabilize the price of the Notes. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Notes above independent market prices or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Notes. The Agent is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. An affiliate of the Agent has entered into a hedging transaction in connection with this offering of the Notes. See “—Use of Proceeds and Hedging” above.

| Validity of the Notes | In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to MSFL and Morgan Stanley, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by MSFL, authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Notes will be valid and binding obligations of MSFL and the related guarantee will be a valid and binding obligation of Morgan Stanley, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above and (ii) any provision of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of Morgan Stanley’s obligation under the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture and its authentication of the Notes and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated November 16, 2017, which is Exhibit 5-a to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by Morgan Stanley on November 16, 2017. |

| Benefit Plan Investor Considerations | Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to Title I of 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 each be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning
Field: Page; Sequence: 35; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 35 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
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 (such accounts and plans, together with other plans, accounts and arrangements subject to Section 4975 of the Code, also “Plans”). ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 generally prohibit transactions between Plans and parties in interest or disqualified persons. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the Notes are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the Notes are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the Notes. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code 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
Field: Page; Sequence: 36; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 36 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
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 of these Notes will not constitute or result in a non-exempt are not prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or violate 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. In this regard, neither this discussion nor anything provided in this document is or is intended to be investment advice directed at any potential Plan purchaser or at Plan purchasers generally and such purchasers of these Notes should consult and rely on their own counsel and advisers as to whether an investment in these Notes is suitable.
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.
United States Federal Taxation In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the Notes 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 — Contingent Payment Notes.” 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 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
Field: Page; Sequence: 37; Value: 2
PS- Field: Sequence; Type: Arabic; Name: PageNo 37 Field: /Sequence
Field: /Page
income. We have determined that the “comparable yield” for the Notes is a rate of 3.1079% 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 $1,000) consists of a single projected amount equal to $1,222.2040 due at maturity. You should read the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation — Contingent Payment Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes. In addition, please see “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “United States Federal Taxation — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Disclosure Requirements” of the accompanying prospectus supplement.
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.

| January 1, 2024 through the Maturity Date | $16.6522 | $222.2040 |
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 prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”
As discussed in the accompanying prospectus supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities (each, an “Underlying Security”). Subject to certain exceptions, Section 871(m) generally applies to securities that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations (a “Specified Security”). However, pursuant to an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notice, Section 871(m) will not apply to securities issued before January 1, 2019 that do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security. Based on our determination that the Notes do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security, our counsel is of the opinion that the Notes should not be Specified Securities and, therefore, should not be subject to Section 871(m).
Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.
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 “United States Federal Taxation” 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 Notes.
