Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering $1,034,000 of Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc., fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and an issue price of $1,000, with proceeds to the issuer of $981.50 per security after selling commissions and fees. The notes pay a contingent coupon at a 15.00% annual rate only if Tesla’s closing price on an observation date is at or above the coupon barrier of $186.55 (47.70% of the initial level of $391.09), with unpaid coupons able to “catch up” later if conditions are met.
The securities are auto-callable quarterly starting May 21, 2026 if Tesla’s price is at or above the call threshold of $391.09, returning principal plus the applicable contingent coupon and any unpaid coupons, after which no further payments are made. If the notes are not redeemed early and Tesla’s final level on November 22, 2027 is at or above the downside threshold of $186.55, investors receive full principal back (plus any contingent coupon then due). If the final level is below the downside threshold, the maturity payment is reduced on a 1-for-1 basis with Tesla’s decline, and can fall to zero, meaning full principal is at risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is $968.70 per security, below the issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit and the notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering structured Buffered Participation Securities linked to the performance of the SPDR® Gold Trust. The notes are issued at $1,000 per security, in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000, pay no interest, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
At maturity on November 26, 2030, investors receive the principal plus 100% of any positive underlier return, capped at a maximum payment of $2,236.50 per security (223.65% of principal). A 5% buffer means full principal is repaid if the underlier’s final level is at or above 95% of the initial level of $374.27, but losses match further declines beyond that buffer, down to a minimum payment of 5% of principal.
The securities are unsecured, not listed on any exchange, and subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley and MSFL. The estimated value on the pricing date is $929.50 per security, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs and an internal funding rate that is advantageous to the issuer. The product embeds significant market, liquidity, tax and commodity-related risks tied to gold and the SPDR® Gold Trust.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering $4,855,000 of S&P 500®-linked Buffered Jump Securities, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each $1,000 principal-at-risk note can be automatically called on December 9, 2026 for $1,095 per security if the S&P 500 closes at or above 6,602.99 on the first determination date.
If not called and the index ends above 6,602.99 on the November 22, 2027 final determination date, investors receive principal plus 200% of the index gain. If the final level is between 90% and 100% of the initial level (at or above 5,942.691), only principal is returned. Below the 10% buffer, losses accelerate at 1.1111% for every 1% additional decline, with no minimum payment at maturity, so the entire investment can be lost.
The notes are unsecured obligations of MSFL, subject to Morgan Stanley credit risk, will not be listed on any exchange, and have an estimated value on the pricing date of $979.90 per $1,000 due to embedded costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate.

The notes pay no interest and are unsecured obligations fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The securities may be automatically redeemed quarterly starting on November 24, 2026 if the index is at or above the call threshold of 2,563.965, for early redemption payments that correspond to about 14.25% per annum. If held to November 27, 2028 and not called, investors receive $1,427.50 per note if the final index level is at or above the call threshold, full principal back if it is between the 20% buffer level of 2,279.08 and the call threshold, and a loss of 1% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 20% of principal. Investors do not participate in any index upside and face both market risk and Morgan Stanley credit risk.

If held to maturity on November 26, 2030 and not previously called, investors receive $1,937.50 per security if the final index level is at or above the call threshold, the principal back if the final level stays at or above the buffer level of 917.643, and a proportional loss beyond the 15% buffer if the index falls below that level, subject to a minimum payment of 15% of principal. Repayment depends entirely on Morgan Stanley’s credit.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is issuing Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the worst performer of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, iShares MSCI EAFE ETF and the Russell 2000 Index, with an aggregate principal amount of $1,130,000 and $1,000 per security. Investors may receive an annual contingent coupon of 8.40% only if, on each observation date, all three underliers close at or above their coupon barrier levels (80% of initial levels). The notes can be automatically redeemed quarterly starting May 2026 if all underliers are at or above their call thresholds set at 100% of initial levels, returning principal plus the applicable coupon.
If the notes are not called and, at maturity in May 2027, any underlier finishes below its downside threshold (70% of initial level), repayment of principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst underlier and can fall to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is $963.80 per $1,000, reflecting issuer costs and an internal funding rate, and secondary market liquidity and pricing are not assured.

If the ETF is flat or down but not below 85% of the initial level, investors receive a positive return matching the absolute decline, up to a 15% gain. If the ETF falls below the 15% buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each additional 1% drop, with a minimum payment of 15% of principal.
The initial ETF level is $92.65, with a buffer level of $78.753.

Each $1,000 security offers a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 10.42% (about $26.05 per quarter) only if Schwab’s share price on the relevant determination date is at or above the downside threshold of $67.883, which is 75% of the $90.51 initial share price.
If on any of the first eleven determination dates the share price is at or above the initial share price, the notes are automatically redeemed for $1,000 plus the applicable coupon. If held to maturity and the final share price is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final share price is below the threshold, repayment is reduced 1‑for‑1 with Schwab’s decline, and the amount repaid can be zero.

The notes pay a 9.00% per annum contingent coupon (about $0.225 per $10 note quarterly) only if on each Observation Date all three indices are at or above their respective Coupon Barriers, set at 70% of initial levels.
Beginning in February 2026, the issuer may call the notes quarterly if a risk‑neutral valuation model shows it is economically rational to do so; if called, investors receive principal plus the due coupon and no further payments. At maturity, if not called, principal is repaid only if each index is at or above its Downside Threshold (65% of initial). If any index is below its threshold, repayment is reduced one‑for‑one with the worst index’s loss, and investors could lose their entire principal.
The notes are unsecured, subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, will not be listed on an exchange, may have limited liquidity, and have an estimated value of $9.716 per $10 note on the trade date, reflecting fees, structuring and hedging costs.
