Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is offering Buffered PLUS notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on June 28, 2028. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, no periodic interest, and principal is at risk. If the index finishes above its initial level, holders receive $1,000 plus 200% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,225.50 (122.55% of principal). If the index declines but remains at or above 90% of the initial level, investors receive only their principal. Below this 10% buffer, repayment is reduced 1% for each additional 1% index loss, but not below a minimum of 10% of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $963.60 per security, and the notes will not be listed on any exchange, with all payments subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering $1,291,000 of principal-at-risk market-linked securities tied to an unequally weighted basket of five international equity indices, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each $1,000 security provides 100% upside participation in the basket to a maximum return of 38%, for a maximum maturity payment of $1,380 per security, if the basket ends above its starting level.
If the basket ends at or below the starting level but no lower than the 85% threshold, investors receive a positive “contingent absolute return,” gaining 1% for each 1% basket loss, capped at $1,150. Below the threshold, losses are buffered only for the first 15% decline; beyond that, losses match further declines and investors can lose up to 85% of principal. The notes pay no coupons, are not listed, and the estimated value is $962.10 per $1,000 at pricing, reflecting issuer costs and internal funding assumptions. Maturity is scheduled for May 25, 2028, with all payments subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is offering principal-at-risk Buffered Jump Securities with an auto-call feature linked to the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and pays no interest.
The notes can be automatically redeemed on January 4, 2027 if, on December 29, 2026, the ETF’s closing level is at or above 100% of its initial level, delivering an early redemption payment of $1,290 to $1,300 per security and ending the investment. If held to the December 28, 2028 maturity and not auto-called, investors receive 125% of the ETF’s upside when the final level is above the initial level, full principal back if the final level is between 90% and 100% of the initial level, and lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 10% buffer, subject to a 10% minimum payment.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $958.20 per $1,000, reflecting issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate. The securities are unsecured obligations subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, will not be listed on any exchange, and are exposed to significant volatility and regulatory risks associated with bitcoin and the bitcoin-linked ETF.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is offering $1,090,000 of Jump Securities with an auto-callable feature linked to the worst performer of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and is a principal-at-risk note that pays no interest.
The securities may be automatically redeemed on scheduled determination dates if all three indices are at or above their call threshold levels, paying a fixed early redemption amount that targets about 15.15% per annum. If held to maturity and all indices end at or above their upside thresholds, investors receive $1,454.50 per security; if they are between upside and downside thresholds, only principal is returned. If any index finishes below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index, potentially down to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is $972.60 per security, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs and Morgan Stanley’s internal funding rate.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering principal-at-risk, contingent income memory auto-callable securities linked to the common stock of Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $945.30 per security.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 19.00% to 20.00%, but only if MU’s closing level on a given observation date is at or above a coupon barrier set at 60% of the initial level. Missed coupons may be paid later if the barrier is met on a future observation date. The securities are automatically redeemed if MU’s closing level on a redemption determination date is at or above the call threshold, set at 100% of the initial level, starting with the first determination date on June 22, 2026.
If not called, and on the final observation date MU is at or above the downside threshold of 60% of the initial level, investors receive back principal plus any due coupons. If MU finishes below this downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in MU from the initial level, and the maturity payment can be significantly less than principal or even zero. The securities are unsecured obligations of MSFL, subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit, will not be listed on any exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.

If the final level is between the upside threshold and the downside threshold of $21.808, investors get only their principal back.

At maturity, investors participate 100% in S&P 500 gains, but returns are capped at a maximum payment of $1,092.10 per security, or 109.21% of principal. If the index is down but not below the 15% buffer (buffer level 85% of the initial level 6,602.99, or 5,612.542), investors receive a positive return matching the absolute decline, up to 15%. Below the buffer, losses accelerate at a 1.1765% loss for each 1% additional index drop, with no minimum payment, so principal can be fully lost.
The estimated value on the pricing date is $983.40 per note, below the issue price, reflecting structuring and hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate.
