Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Buffered Jump Securities with an auto-call feature linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $949.50.
The notes may be automatically redeemed on September 7, 2027 for an early redemption payment of $1,150 per security if the index on the first determination date is at or above 100% of the initial level. If held to August 29, 2031 and not auto‑called, investors receive upside at a 125% participation rate if the final index level exceeds the initial level, full principal back if the final level is between 85% and 100% of the initial level, and a buffered loss beyond a 15% buffer if the final level falls below 85% of the initial level, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of 15% of principal.
The securities pay no interest, expose investors to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley and MSFL, may have limited or no secondary market liquidity, and involve complex U.S. federal income tax treatment described as prepaid financial contracts that are “open transactions.”
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering principal-at-risk structured notes linked to the worst performer of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector Index and the Russell 2000® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a contingent coupon at 13.00% per annum, but only if on the relevant observation date the closing level of each index is at or above its coupon barrier level.
The notes are automatically callable beginning with the February 26, 2027 redemption determination date if both indices are at or above their 100% call thresholds, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable contingent coupon and no further payments. If not called, at maturity on December 3, 2027 investors receive principal back only if the final level of each index is at or above its 75% downside threshold; otherwise repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst-performing index, potentially to zero. The indicative estimated value is approximately $976.10 per $1,000 note, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs and Morgan Stanley’s credit spreads. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s and MSFL’s credit.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Callable Contingent Income Securities due August 10, 2028, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with a stated principal amount of $1,000 per security. These principal-at-risk notes are linked to the worst performing of three ETFs: the Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF, the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF and the State Street® Energy Select Sector SPDR® ETF.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon at 8.90% per annum, paid only if on each observation date the closing level of every underlier is at or above its coupon barrier level, set at 60% of its initial level. If any underlier is below its barrier on an observation date, no coupon is paid for that period.
Beginning on August 11, 2027, the notes are subject to issuer call on specified redemption dates if a risk neutral valuation model indicates early redemption is economically rational for Morgan Stanley, in which case investors receive principal plus any due coupon and no further payments. At maturity, if the notes are not called and the final level of each underlier is at or above its downside threshold (also 60% of initial), investors receive principal plus any final coupon; otherwise, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the worst performing underlier and can fall to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $981.40 per security, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering contingent income memory buffered auto-callable securities due August 12, 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes may be automatically redeemed quarterly from August 2027 onward if the index is at or above the 100% call threshold, returning principal plus due and unpaid coupons. If held to maturity and the final index level is at or above the 85% buffer level, investors receive full principal (plus any payable coupons); below that, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% index decline beyond the 15% buffer, subject to a 15% minimum payment. The estimated value on the pricing date is about $916 per $1,000, reflecting issuer costs. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit, and the securities may have limited or no secondary market and uncertain tax treatment.

At maturity on August 29, 2031, if the index’s final level is at or above the 85% buffer level, investors receive principal plus the greater of a fixed $510 upside payment (51%) or participation in the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,600 (160% of principal). If the final level is below the buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, but not below a minimum payment of 15% of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $952.10 per security, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs.

The notes pay no periodic interest. At maturity, investors receive the stated principal amount plus an upside payment equal to 112% of any positive index performance; if the final index level is at or below the initial level, only principal is repaid. The final level is the index closing level on the observation date, September 2, 2030.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $965.50 per note, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs.

Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $967.90, reflecting embedded issuance and hedging costs.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon of 11.00%–12.00% per annum, paid only if on each observation date all three indices close at or above 80% of their initial levels. The notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the coupon if, on specified determination dates starting February 26, 2027, all indices are at or above 100% of their initial levels. If held to maturity without early redemption and any index finishes below 70% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the worst index decline, and the maturity payment can fall to zero. The structure offers potentially high income but no principal protection, no participation in index gains, and exposes holders to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk and limited secondary market liquidity.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities due October 1, 2027, linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

At maturity, if the final level of each index is at or above 85% of its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $130 per security (a 13% return), regardless of how much the worst index has appreciated. If either index finishes below its downside threshold, investors receive $1,000 multiplied by the performance factor of the worst-performing index, leading to a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline, with no minimum payment and potential total loss.
The pricing date is August 28, 2026, issue date September 2, 2026, and observation date September 28, 2027. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $973.60 per security, lower than the issue price due to issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs and issuer economics. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of MSFL and Morgan Stanley and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering market-linked notes due September 5, 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, whose return depends on the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index.

At maturity, investors receive the $1,000 principal per note plus an upside payment if the index’s final level on the September 2, 2031 observation date is above its initial level on August 31, 2026. The upside payment equals principal × participation rate × index percent change, where the participation rate will be set between 149% and 154%. If the final level is at or below the initial level, only principal is repaid.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $965.80 per note, reflecting issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, secondary liquidity may be limited, and tax treatment is expected to follow contingent payment debt instrument rules.
