Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering $8,856,900 of Trigger GEARS, unsecured notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, linked to a weighted basket of five international equity indices and maturing in January 2031.
The notes provide leveraged upside, paying $10 plus $10 × (Basket Return × 1.91) if the basket rises, with an initial basket level of 100. If the basket return is at or below zero but the final basket level stays at or above the Downside Threshold of 75, investors receive only their $10 principal at maturity. If the final basket level falls below 75, repayment is reduced in line with the negative basket return, and investors can lose their entire principal.
The securities pay no interest or dividends, are not listed on any exchange, and expose holders to both market risk of the underlying indices and the credit risk of Morgan Stanley and MSFL. The issue price is $10 per security, while the estimated value on the trade date is $9.800, reflecting issuer funding and hedging costs.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering $2,625,000 of trigger autocallable notes linked to the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average℠ and the Russell 2000® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes are issued at $10 per Security, with estimated value on the trade date of $9.918, and no underwriting discount, so all proceeds go to the issuer.
The notes may be automatically called on semi-annual observation dates starting January 25, 2027 if each index is at or above its Redemption Threshold (90% of its initial level), paying back principal plus a fixed call return based on a 10.00% per annum rate, up to 55.00% if called at maturity. If not called and any index finishes below its Downside Threshold (75% of initial), repayment is reduced in full proportion to the decline of the worst-performing index, and principal can be lost entirely.
The notes pay no interest, do not participate in any upside of the indices, will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary liquidity depends mainly on the issuer’s affiliate. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, and the issuer highlights significant market, structuring, liquidity and tax risks.

The notes pay a 10.55% per annum contingent coupon (about $0.26375 per $10 each quarter) only if all three indices stay at or above their respective Coupon Barriers (70% of initial levels) on every index business day in the quarter. Coupons are skipped entirely for any quarter in which a single index closes below its barrier even once.
Starting April 21, 2026, the issuer may call the notes quarterly if a risk‑neutral valuation model indicates it is economically rational to do so. If called, investors receive principal plus the due coupon and no further payments.
If not called, principal is repaid at maturity in April 2029 only if each index finishes at or above its Downside Threshold (60% of initial). If any index ends below its threshold, repayment is reduced one‑for‑one with the loss of the worst index, and investors can lose all principal. The estimated value on the trade date is $9.866 per $10 note, the notes are not listed, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
