Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is issuing S&P 500®-linked Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with an aggregate principal amount of $16,561,000 at $1,000 per security. These unsecured notes pay no interest and do not guarantee any return of principal.
At maturity on August 2, 2027, if the S&P 500 final level is at or above the buffer level of 6,436.54 (85% of the initial level 7,572.40), investors receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $77.50 per security (7.75%). If the final level is below the buffer level, investors lose 1.1765% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, with no minimum payment, so the entire investment can be lost.
The issue price includes structuring and hedging costs, giving an estimated value on the pricing date of $984.40 per security.

The notes are issued at $1,000 per security, with an aggregate principal amount of $8,812,000, and mature on August 2, 2027.
The payoff depends on the basket’s final level on the observation date.

If the final level is below the buffer level, investors lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 20% buffer, with no minimum payment; the investment can go to zero.
The notes pay no interest, are unsecured obligations of MSFL guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is $953.90 per security, reflecting issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs and model-based pricing. Liquidity may be limited, and the U.S. federal income tax treatment is uncertain; counsel views them as prepaid financial contracts treated as open transactions.

If the final level is below the threshold, the payoff is $1,000 multiplied by the performance factor (final level / initial level), producing a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline in the stock; the payment can fall to zero.
