Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities (Buffered PLUS) due September 30, 2027, linked to the worst performance of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index. Each note has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000 and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
These principal-at-risk notes pay no interest. At maturity, if both indices finish above their initial levels, investors receive principal plus a leveraged upside payment based on a 120% leverage factor applied to the worst-performing index. If either index finishes at or below its initial level but both remain at or above a 90% buffer level, investors receive only their principal. If either index falls below its buffer level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index beyond the 10% buffer, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of 10% of principal.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $987 per $1,000 note, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors. The notes are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and all payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit. Secondary market liquidity may be limited and prices may be significantly below the issue price.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Dual Directional Jump Securities with an auto-call feature linked to the S&P® 500 Futures 40% Intraday 4% Decrement VT Index. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal and issue price and pays no interest.
Beginning August 25, 2027, the notes are automatically redeemed if the index closes at or above 100% of its initial level on a determination date, for a fixed early redemption payment that implies roughly 20.75% per annum, increasing over time, up to $2,020.208 per note. If held to maturity on August 26, 2031 and the final level is at or above the call threshold, investors receive $2,037.50.
If the final level is between 50% and 100% of the initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus the absolute underlier return with a 100% participation rate, capped at a 50% gain. If the final level is below 50% of the initial level, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline, and the payment can be zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is about $923.60 per note, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s and MSFL’s credit risk, and the underlier embeds a 4% per annum decrement, leverage, and has limited live history.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Callable Contingent Income Securities due August 30, 2029, linked to the worst performer of the Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF, the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the Russell 2000® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay a 10.00% per annum contingent coupon only if on each observation date all three underliers are at or above 70% of their initial levels; otherwise no coupon is paid. Starting March 3, 2027, the issuer may redeem the notes early if a risk neutral valuation model indicates it is economically rational for Morgan Stanley, paying principal plus any due coupon. If held to maturity and any underlier finishes below 55% of its initial level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst underlier, potentially losing their entire investment. The estimated value on the pricing date is about $982.10 per $1,000 note, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.

At maturity, if the S&P 500 final level exceeds the initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 110% of the index’s percentage gain. If the final level is between 75% and 100% of the initial level, investors receive only $1,000. Below the 75% downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% index decline, with no minimum—principal can be fully lost. The notes are unsecured obligations of MSFL, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $982.40 per $1,000 security, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs and potentially lower secondary market values.

If held to maturity and both underliers are at or above their call thresholds, investors receive $1,490 per $1,000; if at least one is below its call threshold but both are at or above the 15% buffer level (85% of initial), investors receive principal only. If either underlier finishes below its buffer, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst underlier beyond the 15% buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 15% of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $942.50 per $1,000 note, reflecting structuring and hedging costs and Morgan Stanley’s funding spread, and secondary market liquidity may be limited.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Callable Contingent Income Securities due September 5, 2031, linked to the worst-performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index, at $1,000 stated principal amount per security.
Investors may receive an 8.50% per annum contingent coupon, paid only when on each observation date all three indices close at or above their coupon barrier levels, set at 70% of each index’s initial level. If any index is below its barrier on an observation date, no coupon is paid for that period.
Beginning September 8, 2027, the issuer may redeem the notes on specified monthly redemption dates at par plus any due coupon, but only if a risk neutral valuation model indicates early redemption is economically rational for the issuer. At maturity, if not earlier redeemed and each index’s final level is at least 65% of its initial level, investors receive principal plus any final coupon; otherwise, repayment is reduced 1% for every 1% decline of the worst-performing index, potentially to zero.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $942.50 per security, below the $1,000 issue price due to embedded costs. Payments depend on the credit of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC and the Morgan Stanley guarantee, and the securities are not bank deposits or FDIC insured. The tax treatment is uncertain and may be adverse, particularly for non-U.S. holders.

If held to maturity and both indices are at or above their call thresholds, investors receive $1,590 per security; if at or above their downside thresholds (70% of initial levels) but below call thresholds, only principal is returned.
If at maturity either index is below its downside threshold, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index, with potential loss of the entire investment. The estimated value on the pricing date is $962.60 per security, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting embedded costs and margins.

MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Trigger PLUS structured notes linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, maturing on August 23, 2030. The notes are unsecured obligations of MSFL, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and pay no interest.
Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issue price, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $970.10, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors.

A hypothetical 85% decline would return $150 per security. The notes are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, are not bank deposits, and are not FDIC insured. Tax counsel currently expects treatment as prepaid financial contracts, but the tax consequences are uncertain. Minimum ticket size is $1,000 (1 security), and secondary market liquidity is expected to be limited.
