FAQ

What are the key features of MS's new Market Linked Securities offering linked to Broadcom, Alphabet, and Netflix?

The securities are auto-callable with a $1,000 face amount per security, featuring: 1) Automatic call if the lowest performing stock equals/exceeds its starting price on July 23, 2026, paying at least $1,432.50 (43.25% premium), 2) 300% participation rate in upside performance, 3) Contingent absolute return if ending price is above threshold price (60% of starting price), and 4) Maturity date of July 21, 2028.

What is the maximum potential loss for investors in MS's new structured note offering?

Investors can lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of their investment if the securities are not automatically called and the ending price of ANY underlying stock falls below its threshold price (60% of starting price). The loss will be directly proportional to the decline in the lowest performing underlying stock.

What is the estimated value of MS's Market Linked Securities on the pricing date?

Morgan Stanley estimates that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $962.10 (or within $45.00 of that estimate), which is less than the $1,000 face amount due to costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring, and hedging the securities.

How much commission and fees are charged for MS's Market Linked Securities offering?

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC will receive a commission of up to $25.75 per security. Dealers including Wells Fargo Advisors can receive a selling concession of up to $20.00 per security, plus WFA may receive a $0.75 distribution fee per security. Selected dealers may also receive an additional fee of up to 0.2% for marketing services.

What are the underlying stocks for MS's new structured note and how is performance calculated?

The securities are linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), Class C common stock of Alphabet Inc. (GOOG), and common stock of Netflix, Inc. (NFLX). Performance is based on the lowest performing underlying stock, calculated as (ending price - starting price) / starting price. The starting price is set on July 18, 2025, and ending price on July 18, 2028.

Hypothetical payout profile**

**assumes a call premium equal to the lowest possible call premium that may be determined on the pricing date

If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity and the ending price of ANY underlying stock is less than its threshold price, you will be exposed to the decline in the stock closing price of the lowest performing underlying stock. You may lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of your investment.

The face amount of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than $1,000 per security. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $962.10, or within $45.00 of that estimate. Our estimate of the value of the securities as determined on the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for further information.

This document provides a summary of the terms of the securities. Investors should carefully review the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement referenced below, product supplement for principal at risk securities and prospectus, and the “Selected risk considerations” on the following page, before making a decision to invest in the securities.

*subject to change

** In addition, selected dealers may receive a fee of up to 0.2% for marketing and other services

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary debt securities. See “Selected risk considerations” in this term sheet and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and product supplement. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk.

This introductory term sheet does not provide all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision.

The securities are not deposits or savings accounts and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

 

Selected risk considerations

The risks set forth below are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, product supplement for principal at risk securities and prospectus. Please review those risk factors carefully.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities

●The securities do not pay interest or guarantee the return of the face amount of your securities at maturity.

●Any positive return based on the depreciation of the lowest performing underlying stock is effectively capped.

●If the securities are automatically called prior to maturity, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the fixed call payment specified for the call date.

●The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

●The securities 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 securities.

●As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.

●Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying stocks.

●Reinvestment risk.

●The rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the face amount reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the face amount and will adversely affect secondary market prices.

●The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price.

●The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.

●The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the securities.

●Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities.

●The maturity date may be postponed if the calculation day is postponed.

●Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by Morgan Stanley, MSFL, WFS or our or their respective affiliates.

●The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.

 

Risks Relating to the Underlying Stocks

●You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying stock.

●Because the securities are linked to the performance of the lowest performing underlying stock, you are exposed to greater risk of sustaining a loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one underlying stock. 

●No affiliation with Broadcom Inc., Alphabet Inc. or Netflix, Inc.

●We may engage in business with or involving Broadcom Inc., Alphabet Inc. or Netflix, Inc. without regard to your interests.

●The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every corporate event that could affect the underlying stocks.

●Historical closing prices of the underlying stocks should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the underlying stocks during the term of the securities.

For more information about the underlying stocks, including historical performance information, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
