Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced contingent income auto-callable securities linked to NVIDIA common stock. The notes have a $1,000 stated principal per security, an original issue price of $1,000, an estimated value of approximately $978.10 on the pricing date, and an annual contingent coupon rate of 12.32%. Observation and redemption dates run from July 23, 2026 through the final observation on October 25, 2027 with maturity on October 28, 2027. Coupons are paid only if the underlier’s closing level on each observation date is at or above a coupon barrier equal to 55% of the initial level. Automatic early redemption occurs if the closing level is at or above a call threshold equal to 100% of the initial level on any redemption determination date. If not redeemed, repayment at maturity is either the stated principal (if final level ≥ the downside threshold of 55% of the initial level) or the stated principal multiplied by the performance factor (final level/initial level), which could result in a substantial loss of principal. All payments are subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk; MS & Co. acts as agent and calculation agent. Closing level of NVIDIA on April 16, 2026 was $198.35.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC offers Principal-at-Risk securities linked to Oracle Corporation common stock with a stated principal amount of $1,000 per security. The notes pay a contingent coupon of 16.00% per annum on observation dates when the underlier is at or above a coupon barrier (65% of the initial level). The notes may be automatically redeemed early if the underlier meets a call threshold (85% of the initial level) on any redemption determination date. If not redeemed, maturity protections hinge on a downside threshold of 60% of the initial level; a final level below that causes principal loss proportional to the underlier’s decline. Pricing, strike and issue dates: pricing/strike April 23, 2026; original issue April 28, 2026. Final observation and maturity dates are February 23, 2028 and February 28, 2028. All payments are subject to MSFL/Morgan Stanley credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date was approximately $965.90 per security.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering leveraged buffered notes linked to the MSCI EAFE® Index. The notes have a $1,000 face amount, a 200% Upside Participation Rate and a 7.50% buffer (Buffer Level at 92.50% of the Initial Underlier Level). The Cash Settlement Amount at maturity is based solely on the Closing Level of the MSCI EAFE® Index on the Determination Date (expected 16–19 months after the Trade Date) and is capped at a Maximum Settlement Amount expected between $1,194.40 and $1,228.20 per $1,000. If the Final Underlier Level is below the Buffer Level, holders will receive less than the Face Amount and could lose all principal. Payments are unsecured obligations of MSFL and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley; all payments are subject to issuer credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering $3,364,000 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the Russell 2000® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If the Observation Date Closing Level on April 21, 2027 is at or above the Autocall Barrier (100% of the Initial Level), the notes will be called and pay a fixed Call Price of $11.20 per $10 Security (12.00% per annum Call Return). If not called, a positive Underlying Return pays $10 plus the Underlying Return multiplied by Upside Gearing of 1.725; if the Final Level is below the Downside Threshold (approximately 75% of the Initial Level), holders can lose a substantial portion or all principal. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering leveraged buffered S&P 500® Index-linked notes (Face Amount $1,000 per note) that are unsecured obligations of MSFL and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes provide 150% upside participation subject to a cap (expected between 111.75% and 113.78% of the Initial Underlier Level) and protect principal only for declines up to 7.50% (the Buffer Level). If the final index decline exceeds 7.50%, investors suffer a pro rata loss (the Buffer Rate is ~108.11%), and there is no guaranteed minimum payment. The Expected Trade-to-Maturity term is between about 16 and 19 months. All payments are subject to issuer credit risk, the notes pay no interest, will not be listed, and the estimated value on the Trade Date is approximately $985.20 per note.

All payments are subject to the issuer and guarantor credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

If the worst performing underlier falls below its 90% buffer level on the observation date, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the buffer, subject to credit risk of the issuer and guarantor.
