Morgan Stanley (MS), via Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities (Buffered PLUS) linked to the MSCI EAFE® Index, maturing on November 1, 2027. Each security has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000 and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
At maturity, if the index is above its initial level, holders receive principal plus 300% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,100 per security (110% of principal. If the index is at or below the initial level but at or above the buffer level of 90% of the initial level, investors receive only their principal. Below the buffer, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 10% buffer, but not less than a minimum payment of 10% of principal.
The securities pay no interest and expose investors to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley and MSFL, as well as market risk of the MSCI EAFE® Index. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $970.70 per security, reflecting structuring and hedging costs. The index strike and pricing date are August 27, 2026, with an observation date of October 27, 2027.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities due August 31, 2029, linked to the worst performing of Upstart (UPST), Meta Platforms (META) and Carvana (CVNA). Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay a 23.30% per annum contingent coupon, but only if on each observation date all three stocks are at or above their coupon barrier levels, initially set at 60% of each stock’s initial level. Missed coupons may be paid later if a future observation date meets the barrier (“memory” feature).
The notes are automatically callable beginning August 30, 2027 if all underliers are at or above their call thresholds (100% of initial levels), returning principal plus due and unpaid coupons. If not called, at maturity investors receive principal only if all underliers are at or above their downside thresholds (60% of initial) or any underlier is at or above its initial level; otherwise, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the worst performer and can fall to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is about $934.40 per $1,000, reflecting upfront structuring and hedging costs. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, secondary market liquidity may be limited, and U.S. tax treatment is uncertain, with potential 30% withholding on coupons for many non-U.S. holders.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Callable Contingent Income Securities due March 3, 2028, linked to the worst performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index, Russell 2000 Index and S&P 500 Index, and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at 11.76% per annum, but only for periods where on the relevant observation date the closing level of each index is at or above its coupon barrier, set at 70% of its initial level for each index. If any index is below its barrier on an observation date, no coupon is paid for that period, and investors may receive few or no coupons over the term.
Beginning December 3, 2026, the notes are callable in whole on specified monthly redemption dates if a risk neutral valuation model indicates it is economically rational for Morgan Stanley to redeem. If called, investors receive the stated principal amount plus any coupon due for that period, and no further payments.
If not redeemed early and on the final observation date each index is at or above its downside threshold (also 70% of initial), investors receive principal back (plus any final coupon). If the final level of any index is below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst performing index, and the maturity payment can be as low as zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $989.10 per $1,000 note, reflecting upfront costs and issuer economics. All payments are subject to the credit risk of MSFL and Morgan Stanley, and the U.S. tax treatment is described as uncertain, particularly for non-U.S. holders facing possible 30% withholding on coupons.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering fixed-income Buffered Auto-Callable Securities due September 5, 2031, linked to the S&P® U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index.

The notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the coupon if, on any of many scheduled redemption determination dates starting September 1, 2027, the index closing level is at or above 100% of its initial level. If not called, and on the September 2, 2031 observation date the index is at or above the 85% buffer level, investors receive principal plus the final coupon. If the final index level is below the buffer, principal is reduced 1% for every 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, but not below a 15% minimum payment of principal.
The issue price is $1,000 per security, while the estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $917.10, reflecting issuer costs and structuring. These unsecured notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, expose investors to the issuer’s credit risk, do not offer participation in index upside, and are not insured deposits.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Structured Investments called Buffered PLUS, unsecured notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, due September 3, 2031.

Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and offers 121% leveraged upside on the appreciation of the worst performing underlier if both finish above their initial levels. Principal is protected only by a 25% buffer: if the worst performing underlier ends between 75% and 100% of its initial level, investors receive par; below the 75% buffer level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 25% of principal. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit, and the estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $992.50 per security.

The notes are linked to a basket consisting of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (30%), the Nikkei Stock Average (40%) and the EURO STOXX 50 Index (30%), with an initial basket level of 100. At maturity, if the final basket level is above 100, investors receive principal plus a leveraged upside return equal to 118% of the basket’s positive performance. If the final level is between the 80 buffer level and 100, investors receive only principal. Below the buffer, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 20% buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 20% of principal.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $952.20 per $1,000 note, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs. The notes may have limited or no secondary market liquidity, their market value can be significantly below issue price, and U.S. federal tax treatment is uncertain, including potential application of the “constructive ownership” regime and Section 871(m) for certain non-U.S. holders.

If not redeemed and each index’s final level is at or above its 70% downside threshold, investors receive principal back plus any final contingent coupon. If any index finishes below its downside threshold, the payoff is reduced in full proportion to the worst-performing index and can fall to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $982.60 per $1,000, reflecting embedded costs and issuer credit spreads. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.

If any index is below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for every 1% decline of the worst-performing index, down to a possible zero payment.
