Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000, with an aggregate principal amount of $1,286,000, and is issued at $1,000 with an estimated value on the pricing date of $936.60.

Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Dual Directional Trigger PLUS linked to the VanEck® Gold Miners ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with an aggregate principal amount of $17,006,000. Each note has a stated principal amount of $1,000, pricing on August 7, 2026 and maturing on September 10, 2027.
The payoff depends on the ETF’s closing price on the valuation date. If the final share price is above the initial share price of $89.89, investors receive $1,000 plus 200% of the positive ETF return, capped at a maximum payment of $1,480 per note. If the ETF declines but stays at or above the trigger level of $80.901 (90% of the initial price), investors receive $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the negative ETF return, up to a 10% gain.
If the final share price falls below the trigger level, investors are fully exposed to the ETF’s decline on a 1-for-1 basis and can lose all principal; there is no minimum payment at maturity and no interest is paid. The estimated value on the pricing date is $967.00 per note, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs. The notes are unsecured, subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, will not be listed on any exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is issuing Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities due August 24, 2027, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with an aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and a price of $1,000 per security. The notes are linked to the worst performer of the EURO STOXX 50 Index and the S&P 500 Index and are principal-at-risk.
Investors may receive a 9.16% per annum contingent coupon, paid only if on an observation date the closing level of each index is at or above its coupon barrier, set at 75% of its initial level. Missed coupons can “memory” and be paid later if conditions are met. The notes auto-call at par plus applicable coupons if on a redemption determination date both indices are at or above 100% of their initial levels.
If not called, and on the final observation date either index closes below its 75% downside threshold, repayment of principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index, potentially to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is $985.20 per security, reflecting issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s and MSFL’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is issuing Dual Directional Trigger Jump Securities linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. These are principal-at-risk, unsecured notes that pay no interest and do not guarantee repayment of principal at maturity.
Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, part of a $1,370,000 aggregate offering, with an issue price of $1,000 and an estimated value of $960.40 on the pricing date. At maturity in August 2031, payoff depends solely on the index level on the observation date. If the index is at or above the initial level of 6,523.86, investors receive $1,000 plus the greater of index upside or a fixed upside payment of $592.50. If the index has fallen but remains at or above the downside threshold level of 5,545.281 (85% of the initial level), investors receive $1,000 plus an "absolute return" up to a 15% maximum. Below the downside threshold, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% index decline, with no minimum payment, so the entire investment can be lost. All amounts are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, and secondary market liquidity may be limited.

Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issue price, with an aggregate principal amount of $1,425,000.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon at 11.00% per annum on scheduled payment dates, but only if on the related observation date the closing level of each underlier is at or above its coupon barrier level, set at 60% of its initial level. The notes are automatically redeemed if on any redemption determination date each underlier is at or above its call threshold level, equal to 100% of its initial level, paying principal plus the current and any previously unpaid contingent coupons.
If not redeemed early, principal is repaid at maturity only if each underlier’s final level is at or above its downside threshold level, also 60% of initial; otherwise, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the worst performing underlier, and may be zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is $981.90 per security, below the issue price, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s and MSFL’s credit risk.

Investors may receive a 20.00% per annum contingent coupon, paid only when Arista’s closing level on an observation date is at or above the coupon barrier level of 50% of the initial level. Starting February 19, 2027, the notes are callable in whole on specified redemption dates if a risk neutral valuation model indicates it is economically rational for Morgan Stanley to redeem. If not called and the final level is at or above the downside threshold level of 50% of the initial level, investors receive principal back (plus any final coupon). If the final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the underlier, potentially to zero. The notes carry Morgan Stanley/Morgan Stanley Finance LLC credit risk, limited liquidity, complex tax treatment and do not provide any participation in upside of Arista stock.

Below the 80% buffer level of $52.512, investors lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 20% buffer, with no minimum repayment, so the entire investment can be lost. The estimated value on the pricing date is $975.10 per security, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs and the issuer’s funding rate. The notes are unsecured and subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, offer limited upside, are intended for fee-based advisory accounts, and carry complex tax and liquidity risks.
