Insights

Auto-call notes offering fixed payouts if all underliers meet thresholds.

These notes are linked to the worst of three indices—RTY, NDXT, and SPX. They pay no coupons but can auto-redeem starting on April 23, 2026 if each index is at or above its 100% call threshold. The fixed cash payments scale over time, reflecting about 5.60% per annum.

Returns are binary at each check: either the scheduled cash amount is paid (and the note ends) or it continues. At maturity, investors receive a fixed positive amount only if all three indices meet their thresholds; otherwise, they receive the $1,000 principal amount.

Key considerations include correlation and “worst-of” exposure, which increase the chance of missing the threshold, and credit risk of the issuer/guarantor. The estimated value is approximately $977.30 per note. The path of the underliers into each determination date will drive outcomes.

Jump Notes with Auto-Callable Feature due October 28, 2030

Based on the Worst Performing of the Russell 2000® Index, the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the S&P 500® Index

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley

The notes are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes will pay no interest and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document.

Automatic early redemption. The notes will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its call threshold level on any determination date (other than the final determination date) for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the notes. No further payments will be made on the notes once they have been automatically redeemed.

Payment at maturity. If the notes have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its call threshold level, investors will receive a fixed positive return at maturity. If, however, the final level of any underlier is less than its call threshold level, investors will receive only the stated principal amount at maturity.

The value of the notes is based on the worst performing underlier. The fact that the notes are linked to more than one underlier does not provide any asset diversification benefits and instead means that poor performance by any underlier will adversely affect your return on the notes, regardless of the performance of the other underliers.

The notes are for investors who are concerned about principal risk and who are willing to forgo current income in exchange for the repayment of principal at maturity and the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment or payment at maturity that exceeds the stated principal amount. You will not participate in any appreciation of the underlier. 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.

Estimated Value of the Notes

The original issue price of each note is $1,000. 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 will be less than $1,000. Our estimate of the value of the notes as determined on the pricing date will be within the range specified on the cover hereof and will be set forth on the cover of the final pricing supplement.

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 underliers. The estimated value of the notes is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underliers, instruments based on the underliers, 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, 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 underliers, 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, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market during the amortization period specified herein, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underliers, 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.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to determine whether the notes will be automatically redeemed with respect to a determination date and how to calculate the payment at maturity if the notes have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether the notes are automatically redeemed prior to maturity will be determined by reference to the closing level of each underlier on each determination date. The payment at maturity will be determined by reference to the closing level of each underlier on the final determination date. The actual initial level and call threshold level for each underlier will be determined on the strike date. All payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk. The numbers in the hypothetical examples below may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The below examples are based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount:

$1,000 per note

Hypothetical initial level:

With respect to the RTY Index, 100.00*

With respect to the NDXT Index, 100.00*

With respect to the SPX Index, 100.00*

Hypothetical call threshold level:

With respect to the RTY Index, 100.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

With respect to the NDXT Index, 100.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

With respect to the SPX Index, 100.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

Early redemption payment:

The early redemption payment with respect to a determination date will be an amount in cash per stated principal amount corresponding to a return of approximately 5.60% per annum, as follows:

How to determine whether the notes will be automatically redeemed with respect to a determination date:

 

Closing Level

Early Redemption Payment

RTY Index

NDXT Index

SPX Index

Hypothetical Determination Date #1

90.00 (less than its call threshold level)

110.00 (greater than or equal to its call threshold level)

80.00 (less than its call threshold level)

N/A

Hypothetical Determination Date #2

105.00 (greater than or equal to its call threshold level)

120.00 (greater than or equal to its call threshold level)

130.00 (greater than or equal to its call threshold level)

$1,042

On hypothetical determination date #1, because the closing level of at least one underlier is less than its call threshold level, the notes are not automatically redeemed on the related early redemption date.

On hypothetical determination date #2, because the closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its call threshold level, the notes are automatically redeemed on the related early redemption date for an early redemption payment corresponding to a return of approximately 5.60% per annum. No further payments are made on the notes once they have been automatically redeemed.

If the closing level of any underlier is less than its call threshold level on each determination date, the notes will not be automatically redeemed prior to maturity.

In example #1, the final level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its call threshold level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity a payment corresponding to a return of approximately 5.60% per annum. Investors do not participate in any appreciation of any underlier.

In examples #2 and #3, the final level of at least one underlier is less than its call threshold level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount.

Risk Factors

This section describes the material risks relating to the notes. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement and prospectus. We also urge you to consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the notes.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Notes

The notes may not pay more than the stated principal amount at maturity. If the notes have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlier is less than its call threshold level, you will receive only the stated principal amount at maturity, and you will not receive a positive return on your investment.

The notes do not pay interest. Because the notes do not pay interest, if the notes have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlier is less than its call threshold level, you will not receive a positive return on your investment, and therefore the overall return on the notes (the effective yield to maturity) will be less than the amount that would be paid on an ordinary debt security. Accordingly, the return of only the stated principal amount at maturity will not compensate you for the effects of inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.

The appreciation potential of the notes is limited by the fixed early redemption payment or payment at maturity specified for each determination date. The appreciation potential of the notes is limited by the applicable fixed early redemption payment or payment at maturity, as applicable, payable only if the closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its call threshold level on the related determination date. In all cases, you will not participate in any appreciation of any underlier, which could be significant.

The notes are subject to early redemption risk. The term of your investment in the notes may be shortened due to the automatic early redemption feature of the notes. If the notes are automatically redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive no further payments on the notes, may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. However, under no circumstances will the notes be redeemed prior to the first determination date.

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. We expect that generally the value of each underlier at any time will affect the value of the notes more than any other single factor. Other factors that may influence the value of the notes include:

othe volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underliers;

ointerest and yield rates in the market;

othe level of correlation between the underliers;

ogeopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underliers or equity markets generally;

othe availability of comparable instruments;

othe composition of each underlier and changes in the component securities of each underlier;

othe time remaining until the notes mature; and

oany actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your notes prior to maturity. 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. For example, you may have to sell your notes at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if, at the time of sale, the closing level of any underlier is at, below or not sufficiently above its call threshold level, or if market interest rates rise.

You can review the historical closing levels of the underliers in the section of this document called “Historical Information.” You cannot predict the future performance of an underlier based on its historical performance. The values of the underliers may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. There can be no assurance that the closing level of each underlier will be greater than or equal to its call threshold level on any determination date so that you will receive a payment on the notes that exceeds the 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, 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 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, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market during the amortization period specified herein, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underliers, 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 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 may be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.

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.

As discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlier(s).

You may be required to recognize taxable income on the notes prior to maturity. If you are a U.S. investor in a note, under the treatment of a note as a contingent payment debt instrument, you will generally be required to recognize taxable interest income in each year that you hold the note. In addition, any gain you recognize under the rules applicable to contingent payment debt instruments will generally be treated as ordinary interest income rather than capital gain. You should review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” herein, in combination with the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

Risks Relating to the Underlier(s)

Because your return on the notes will depend upon the performance of the underlier(s), the notes are subject to the following risk(s), as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement.

oYou are exposed to the price risk of each underlier.

oBecause the notes are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlier, you are exposed to a greater risk of not receiving a positive return on the notes than if the notes were linked to just one underlier.

oAdjustments to an underlying index could adversely affect the value of the notes.

The notes are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. The Russell 2000® Index consists of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may be more volatile than indices that consist of stocks issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.

The notes are subject to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the technology sector. The securities constituting the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM are those of companies whose primary business is directly associated with the technology sector, including the following sub-sectors: computers and peripherals, software, diversified telecommunication services, communications equipment, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, internet software and services, IT services, electronic equipment, instruments and components, wireless telecommunication services and office electronics.

The values of securities of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology are particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those that are smaller or less-seasoned, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Additionally, companies in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. All of these factors could have an effect on the value of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, and, therefore, the value of the notes.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

In engaging in certain activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in 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. will make any determinations necessary to calculate any payment(s) on the notes. Moreover, certain determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, which may adversely affect your return on the notes. 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.

Additional Information About the Notes

Additional Information:

Minimum ticketing size:

United States federal income tax considerations:

You should review carefully the section in the accompanying product supplement entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the notes.

Generally, this discussion assumes that you purchased the notes for cash in the original issuance at the stated issue price and does not address other circumstances specific to you, including consequences that may arise due to any other investments relating to an underlier. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect any such circumstances may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your ownership of a note.

The notes should be treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on current market conditions, we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as contingent payment debt instruments, or “CPDIs,” as described in “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement.  Under this treatment, regardless of your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be required to accrue interest income in each year on a constant yield to maturity basis at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us, adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected payments on the notes during the year. Upon a taxable disposition of a note, you generally will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount received and your tax basis in the notes. You generally must treat any income realized as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions, and the balance as capital loss, the deductibility of which is subject to limitations.

We will determine the comparable yield for the notes and will provide that comparable yield, and the projected payment schedule, or information about how to obtain them, in the final pricing supplement for the notes.

Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual amount(s) that we will pay on the notes.

Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, please also read the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying product supplement.

As discussed under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Dividend Equivalents under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% 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. The Treasury regulations, as modified by an IRS notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta” of one. Based on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not apply to the notes with respect to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the final pricing supplement for the notes.

We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Additional considerations:

Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the notes, either directly or indirectly.

The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM (the “NDXT Index”), which was first published on February 22, 2006 with a base value of 1,000, is an equal weighted index based on the securities of the Nasdaq-100 Index® (the “parent index”) that are classified as a Technology Company under the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) classification system. The parent index is designed to measure the performance of 100 of the largest and most actively traded equity securities of non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). For more information about the parent index, see “Nasdaq-100 Index®” in the accompanying index supplement. The NDXT Index is calculated, maintained and published by Nasdaq. The NDXT Index is reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets under ticker symbol “NDXT.”

Security Eligibility Criteria. A security must be a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® in order to be eligible for inclusion in the NDXT Index. For more information about the security eligibility criteria for the Nasdaq-100 Index® and thereby the NDXT Index, see “Nasdaq-100 Index®—Security Eligibility Criteria” in the accompanying index supplement.

Reconstitution and Rebalancing. The NDXT Index follows the same reconstitution and rebalancing schedule as the parent index. Index rebalance changes are based on the last sale prices as of the close of trading on the third Friday of each March, June, September and December. For more information, see “Nasdaq-100 Index®—Reconstitution and Rebalancing of the Nasdaq-100 Index® in the accompanying index supplement.

Constituent Selection. Any security that is a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® and is classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB is a constituent of the NDXT Index. If a component of the NDXT Index is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it is removed from the NDXT Index at the same time. For more information about constituent selection, see “Nasdaq-100 Index®—Constituent Selection” in the accompanying index supplement.

Constituent Weighting. The NDXT Index is an equal-weighted index. The NDXT Index is rebalanced quarterly such that all index components are assigned an equal Index Security Market Value. Index Security Market Value is calculated as follows:

Index Security Market Valuet = qi,t × pi,t × Spot ratei,t

where,

𝑞𝑖 = Number of shares of Index Security i applied in the NDXT Index. The number of shares can be based on any number of items which would be identified in each specific Index Methodology including total shares outstanding (TSO), application of free float, dividend yield, modification due to foreign ownership restrictions, modification due to capping etc. This can also be referred to as Index Shares.

𝑝𝑖 = Price in quote currency of Index Security i. Depending on the time of the calculation, the price can be either of the following:

1.The Start of Day (SOD) price which is the previous index calculation day’s (t-1) closing price for Index Security i adjusted for corporate action(s) occurring prior to market open on date t, if any, for the SOD calculation only;

2.The intraday price which reflects the current trading price received from the Index Exchange during the index calculation day;

3.The End of Day (EOD) price refers to the Last Sale Price; or

4.The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)

Spot ratei = Foreign exchange rate to convert Index Security i quote currency into Index Currency. Foreign exchange rate is provided by the WM Company1 and in the calculation of the EOD Index Value is the closing spot rate at 16:00:00 UK time, unless otherwise noted in the Index Methodology. Intraday spot rates are applied to the real time index calculations during the index calculation day. The Index Security Market Value at SOD utilizes Spot ratei,t -1

t = current index calculation day

t – 1 = previous index calculation day

 For issuers represented by multiple securities included in the NDXT Index, those issuers’ Index Security Market Values are equally dispersed across their respective index components. Index Shares are calculated by dividing each Index Security's resulting Index market value by its Last Sale Price.

Index Maintenance.

Deletion Policy. When a component of the NDXT Index is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it is removed from the NDXT Index at the same time. For more information about the deletion policy for the Nasdaq-100 Index®, see “Nasdaq-100 Index®—Index Maintenance—Deletion Policy” in the accompanying index supplement.

Replacement Policy. If the replacement company for a component removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® and therefore the NDXT Index is classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB, it will be added to the NDXT Index at the same time and will assume the same weight of the removed company. For more information on the replacement policy for the Nasdaq-100 Index®, see “Nasdaq-100 Index®—Index Maintenance—Replacement Policy” in the accompanying index supplement.

When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is not classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® and replaced in the Nasdaq-100 Index® by a component that is classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB, such replacement company will be considered for addition to the NDXT Index at the next quarterly rebalance.

When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® and replaced in the Nasdaq-100 Index® by a component that is not classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB, such replacement company is not added to the NDXT Index and the divisor of the NDXT Index is adjusted for continuity.

Corporate Actions. In the periods between scheduled index reconstitution and rebalancing events, individual index securities may be subject to a variety of corporate actions and events that require maintenance and adjustments to the NDXT Index.

Additions Policy. If a security that is classified as a Technology Company according to the ICB is added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it may be added to the NDXT Index at the same time.

Governance of the NDXT Index. The Nasdaq Index Management Committee approves all new index methodologies. This committee is comprised of full-time professional members of Nasdaq. The committee meets regularly and reviews items including, but not limited to, pending corporate actions that may affect NDXT Index constituents, statistics comparing the composition of the NDXT Index to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to the NDXT Index and any significant market events.
