Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering contingent income auto-callable securities due January 3, 2028, linked to the common stock of Salesforce, Inc. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, but principal is at risk.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.50% only if Salesforce’s closing level on an observation date is at or above a coupon barrier set at 65% of the initial level. The notes are automatically redeemed if, on a redemption determination date starting March 30, 2026, the stock closes at or above 100% of the initial level, paying principal plus the applicable coupon.
If the notes are not called and the final level is at or above the 65% downside threshold, investors receive principal back (plus any final coupon). If the final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for every 1% decline in the stock, which can result in a total loss. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $965.30 per $1,000 note, and the notes will not be listed on any exchange.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is offering Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities linked to the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, maturing on December 20, 2029. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and pays no interest. At maturity, if the ETF finishes above its initial level, holders receive $1,000 plus 150% of the fund’s gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,677.50 per security. If the final level is between the initial level and the 85% buffer level, investors receive only their $1,000 principal. Below the buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, but not below a minimum of 15% of principal. The indicative estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $991.80 per security, reflecting embedded costs, and the notes will not be listed on an exchange, with secondary liquidity depending mainly on Morgan Stanley & Co.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is issuing $1,307,000 of Buffered PLUS, $1,000 principal-at-risk notes linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, maturing on December 17, 2030 and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay no interest and offer 173.50% leveraged upside if the index finishes above the initial level of 557.16. If the final level is between 80% and 100% of the initial level, investors receive only the $1,000 principal. Below the 80% buffer level of 445.728, principal is reduced 1% for every 1% additional index decline, with a minimum payment of 20% of principal; for example, a 95% index decline would return $250.
The estimated value on the pricing date is $964.20 per $1,000 note, lower than the issue price because it includes issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs and reflects an internal funding rate. The notes will not be listed on an exchange, secondary liquidity may be limited, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is offering principal-at-risk structured securities linked to the S&P® U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index, maturing on January 9, 2031.

The notes are auto-callable starting January 2027 if the index is at or above 100% of its initial level, returning principal plus the due coupon and any unpaid coupons, with no further payments afterward. At maturity, if not redeemed early, investors receive full principal only if the final index level is at or above an 85% buffer level; below that, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 15% of principal.
