Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index due March 12, 2026

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley

Principal at Risk Securities

The Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities, which we refer to as the securities, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities will pay no interest, do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. If the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to 70% of its initial index value, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security that you hold at maturity plus the upside payment of $114 per security. However, if the final index value of any underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease in the final index value of the worst performing underlying from its respective initial index value. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than $700 per security and could be zero. Accordingly, you could lose your entire initial investment in the securities. Because the payment at maturity on the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in any final index value below 70% of its respective initial index value will result in a significant loss on your investment, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have not declined as much. The securities are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of three underlying indices and forgo current income and returns above the fixed upside payment in exchange for the upside payment feature that applies only if the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value. The securities are notes issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global Medium-Term Notes Program.

The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM measures the performance of companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index® that are classified as technology according to the Industry Classification Benchmark. For more information about the Nasdaq-100 Index®, see the information set forth under "Nasdaq-100 Index®" in the accompanying index supplement. For more information about the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, see "Annex A - Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM" beginning on page 23.

All payments are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access to, any underlying reference asset or assets.

Investment Summary

Principal at Risk Securities

The Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index due March 12, 2026 (the "securities") can be used:

￭As an alternative to direct exposure to the underlying indices that provides a fixed return of 11.40% per security if the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value;

￭To enhance returns and potentially outperform the worst performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index in a moderately bullish or moderately bearish scenario;

￭To obtain limited protection against the loss of principal in the event of a decline of the underlying indices as of the valuation date, but only if the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value.

If the final index value of any underlying index is less than its downside threshold value, the securities are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the percentage decline of the final index value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value. Accordingly, investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities.

Maturity:	1.25 years
Upside payment:	$114 per security (11.40% of the stated principal amount), payable only if the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value
Downside threshold value:	For each underlying index, 70% of the respective initial index value
Minimum payment at maturity:	None. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities.
Interest:	None

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $982.20.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the underlying indices. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying indices, instruments based on the underlying indices, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

What determines the economic terms of the securities?

In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the upside payment and the downside threshold values, we use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than our secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon

issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Key Investment Rationale

The securities provide a return based on the performance of the worst performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index. If the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security you hold at maturity plus the upside payment of $114 per security. However, if, as of the valuation date, the value of any underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value, the payment due at maturity will be less than $700 per security and could be zero.

Upside Scenario	If the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, the payment at maturity for each security will be equal to $1,000 plus the upside payment of $114.
Downside Scenario	If the final index value of any underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value, you will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value, without any buffer (e.g., a 50% depreciation in the worst performing underlying index from the respective initial index value to the respective final index value will result in a payment at maturity of $500 per security). Because the payment at maturity of the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in any underlying index below its respective downside threshold value will result in a loss of a significant portion or all of your investment, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have not declined as much.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity on the securities. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. The payment at maturity on the securities is subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the following terms. The actual initial index values and downside threshold values are set forth on the cover of this document.

Stated Principal Amount:	$1,000 per security
Hypothetical Initial Index Value:	With respect to the NDXT Index: 9,000 With respect to the RTY Index: 1,400 With respect to the SPX Index: 5,000
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Value:	With respect to the NDXT Index: 6,300‬, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial index value With respect to the RTY Index: 980‬, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial index value With respect to the SPX Index: 3,500‬, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial index value
Upside Payment:	$114 per security (11.40% of the stated principal amount)
Interest:	None

EXAMPLE 1: Each underlying index appreciates substantially, and investors therefore receive the stated principal amount plus the upside payment.

Final index value		NDXT Index: 17,100
		RTY Index: 2,870 SPX Index: 10,500
Index performance factor		NDXT Index: 17,100 / 9,000 = 190%
RTY Index: 2,870 / 1,400 = 205%
SPX Index: 10,500 / 5,000 = 210%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 + upside payment
	=	$1,000 + $114
	=	$1,114

In example 1, the final index value for the NDXT Index has increased from its initial index value by 90%, the final index value for the RTY Index has increased from its initial index value by 105% and the final index value for the SPX Index has increased from its initial index value by 110%. Because the final index value of each underlying index is above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the upside payment of $114 per security. Investors receive $1,114 per security at maturity and do not participate in the appreciation of any of the underlying indices. Although all three underlying indices have appreciated substantially, the return on the securities is limited to the fixed upside payment of $114 per security.

Principal at Risk Securities

EXAMPLE 2: The final index value of each underlying index is at or above its respective downside threshold value, and investors therefore receive the stated principal amount plus the upside payment.

Final index value		NDXT Index: 7,650
		RTY Index: 1,120 SPX Index: 4,500
Index performance factor		NDXT Index: 7,650 / 9,000 = 85%
RTY Index: 1,120 / 1,400 = 80%
SPX Index: 4,500 / 5,000 = 90%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 + upside payment
	=	$1,000 + $114
	=	$1,114

In example 2, the final index value for the NDXT Index has decreased from its initial index value by 15%, the final index value for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial index value by 20% and the final index value for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial index value by 10%. Because the final index value of each underlying index is at or above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the upside payment of $114 per security. Although each underlying index has depreciated, investors receive $1,114 per security at maturity.

EXAMPLE 3: The final index value of one of the underlying indices is less than its respective downside threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the full decline in the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value.

Final index value		NDXT Index: 10,800
		RTY Index: 700 SPX Index: 4,000
Index performance factor		NDXT Index: 10,800 / 9,000 = 120% RTY Index: 700 / 1,400 = 50% SPX Index: 4,000 / 5,000 = 80%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 × index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index
	=	$1,000 × 50%
	=	$500

In example 3, the final index value for the NDXT Index has increased from its initial index value by 20%, the final index value for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial index value by 50% and the final index value for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial index value by 20%. Because one of the underlying indices has declined below its respective downside threshold value, investors do not receive the upside payment and instead are exposed to the full negative performance of the RTY Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $500 per security, resulting in a loss of 50%.

Principal at Risk Securities

EXAMPLE 4: The final index value of each underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the full decline in the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value.

Final index value		NDXT Index: 1,800
		RTY Index: 560 SPX Index: 1,750
Index performance factor		NDXT Index: 1,800 / 9,000 = 20% RTY Index: 560 / 1,400 = 40% SPX Index: 1,750 / 5,000 = 35%
Payment at maturity	=	$1,000 × index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index
	=	$1,000 × 20%
	=	$200

In example 4, the final index value for the NDXT Index has decreased from its initial index value by 80%, the final index value for the RTY Index has decreased from its initial index value by 60% and the final index value for the SPX Index has decreased from its initial index value by 65%. Because one or more underlying indices have declined below their respective downside threshold values, investors do not receive the upside payment and instead are exposed to the full negative performance of the NDXT Index, which is the worst performing underlying index in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $200 per security, resulting in a loss of 80%.

If the final index value of any of the underlying indices is less than its respective downside threshold value, you will receive an amount in cash that is significantly less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each security by an amount proportionate to the full decline in the level of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value over the term of the securities, and you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

Risk Factors

This section describes the material risks relating to the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement, index supplement and prospectus. You should also consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities

￭The securities do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest or guarantee the payment of any principal at maturity. At maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash based upon the final index value of each underlying index. If the final index value of any underlying index is less than 70% of its respective initial index value, you will not receive the fixed upside payment and you will instead receive at maturity an amount in cash that is significantly less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each security by an amount proportionate to the full decline in the final index value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value over the term of the securities, and you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, and, accordingly, you could lose your entire investment.

￭Appreciation potential is fixed and limited. Where the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed upside payment of $114 per security, even if all three of the underlying indices have appreciated substantially.

￭The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at any time other than the valuation date. The final index values will be the index closing values on the valuation date, subject to postponement for non-index business days and certain market disruption events. Even if the value of the worst performing underlying index appreciates prior to the valuation date but then drops by the valuation date, the payment at maturity may be significantly less than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the value of the worst performing underlying index prior to such drop. Although the actual value of the worst performing underlying index on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than its respective final index value, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the index closing value of the worst performing underlying index on the valuation date.

￭The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as MS & Co., may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for transactions of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the securities, taking into account its bid/offer spread, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding any related hedging positions, the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that it will be able to resell the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. were to cease making a market in the securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.

￭The market price of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market, including:

￭the values of the underlying indices at any time (including in relation to their initial index values),

￭the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlying indices,

￭dividend rates on the securities underlying the underlying indices,

￭interest and yield rates in the market,

Principal at Risk Securities

￭geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the component stocks of the underlying indices or securities markets generally and which may affect the value of the underlying indices,

￭the time remaining until the maturity of the securities,

￭the composition of the underlying indices and changes in the constituent stocks of the underlying indices, and

￭any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the other factors described above. Some or all of these factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. In particular, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if at the time of sale the value of any underlying index is near, at or below its respective downside threshold value.

You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying indices based on their historical performance. If the final index value of any underlying index is less than 70% of its respective initial index value, you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the full decline in the final index value of the worst performing underlying index from its respective initial index value. There can be no assurance that the final index value of each underlying index will be greater than 70% of its respective initial index value so that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the $1,000 stated principal amount for each security you hold, or that you will not lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

￭The securities are subject to our credit risk, and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities. You are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any actual or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities.

￭As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets. As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to holders of MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of such securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of securities issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.

￭The rate we are willing to pay for securities of this type, maturity and issuance size is likely to be lower than the rate implied by our secondary market credit spreads and advantageous to us. Both the lower rate and the inclusion of costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., are willing to purchase the securities in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, because secondary market prices will exclude the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the original issue price and borne by you and because the secondary market prices will reflect our secondary market credit spreads and the bid-offer spread that any dealer would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type as well as other factors.

The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the securities less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.

However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value, and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.

￭The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our pricing and valuation models, which may differ from those of other dealers and is not a maximum or minimum secondary market price. These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part on subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, because there is no market-standard way to value these types of securities, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the securities than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the securities. In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your securities at any time after the date of this document will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also "The market price of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors" above.

￭Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying indices. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any underlying index or the component stocks of any underlying index. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute the underlying indices.

￭The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the securities. As calculation agent, MS & Co. will determine the initial index values, the downside threshold values, the final index values and the index performance factors, if applicable, and the payment that you will receive at maturity, if any. Moreover, certain determinations made by MS & Co., in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the index closing values in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of an underlying index. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity, if any. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see "Description of Securities-Postponement of Valuation Date(s)," "-Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index or Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation," "-Alternate Exchange Calculation in case of an Event of Default" and "-Calculation Agent and Calculations" in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.

￭Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities. One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers expect to carry out hedging activities related to the securities (and to other instruments linked to the underlying indices or their component stocks), including trading in the stocks that constitute the underlying indices as well as in other instruments related to the underlying indices. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the stocks that constitute the underlying indices and other financial instruments related to the underlying indices on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial index value of an underlying index, and, therefore, could increase the value at or above which such underlying index must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlying indices). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the value of any underlying index on the valuation date, and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity, if any (depending also on the performance of the other underlying indices).

￭The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. Please read the discussion under "Additional Information-Tax considerations" in this document and the discussion under "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities (together, the "Tax

Disclosure Sections") concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment of a security as a single financial contract that is an "open transaction" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. Holders and the withholding tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders, might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, possibly retroactively.

Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Risks Relating to the Underlying Indices

￭You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying index. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of all three underlying indices. Rather, it will be based upon the independent performance of each underlying index. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each underlying index. Poor performance by any underlying index over the term of the securities will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlying indices. If the final index value of any underlying index declines to below 70% of its respective initial index value, you will be fully exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying index at maturity, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of all three underlying indices.

￭Because the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying index, you are exposed to greater risk of sustaining a significant loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one underlying index. The risk that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlying index. With three underlying indices, it is more likely that the final index value of any underlying index will decline to below its respective downside threshold value than if the securities were linked to only one underlying index. Therefore, it is more likely that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.

￭Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the technology sector. The stocks included in the NDXT Index are stocks of companies whose primary business is directly associated with the technology sector, including the following sub-sectors: computers and peripherals, software, diversified telecommunication services, communications equipment, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment, internet software and services, IT services, electronic equipment, instruments and components, wireless telecommunication services and office electronics. Because the value of the securities is linked to the performance of the NDXT Index, an investment in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the technology sector.

The values of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology are particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Additionally, companies in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. All of these factors could have an effect on the price of the NDXT Index and, therefore, on the value of the securities.

￭The securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. As the Russell 2000® Index is one of the underlying indices, and the Russell 2000® Index consists of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization, the securities are linked to the value of small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may

be more volatile than indices that consist of stocks issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.

￭Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the securities. The publisher of any underlying index may add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying such index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of such underlying index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities. The publisher of such underlying index may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of such underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, MS & Co., as the calculation agent, will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index. MS & Co. could have an economic interest that is different than that of investors in the securities insofar as, for example, MS & Co. is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by MS & Co. or any of its affiliates. If MS & Co. determines that there is no appropriate successor index, the payout on the securities at maturity will be an amount based on the closing prices on the valuation date of the stocks underlying the relevant index at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation agent in accordance with the formula for calculating such underlying index last in effect prior to such discontinuance (depending also on the performance of the other underlying indices).

Additional Information About the Securities

Additional Information:
Minimum ticketing size:	$1,000 / 1 security
Tax considerations:	Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an "open transaction" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result based on current law: ￭A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities prior to settlement, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange. ￭Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, a U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the securities for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. As discussed in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ("Section 871(m)") generally impose a 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities (each, an "Underlying Security"). Subject to certain exceptions, Section 871(m) generally applies to securities that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations (a "Specified Security"). However, pursuant to an IRS notice, Section 871(m) will not apply to securities issued before January 1, 2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security. Based on our determination that the securities do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security, our counsel is of the opinion that the securities should not be Specified Securities and, therefore, should not be subject to Section 871(m). Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities. Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the securities should read the discussion under "Risk Factors" in this document and the discussion under "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction. The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under "Tax considerations" and the discussion contained in the section entitled "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities.
Use of proceeds and hedging:	The proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used by us for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $1,000 per security issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the securities, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the agent's commissions. The costs of the securities borne by you and described on page 2 above comprise the agent's commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities.

	On or prior to the pricing date, we expect to hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by entering into hedging transactions with our affiliates and/or third-party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to take positions in stocks of the underlying indices and in futures and options contracts on the underlying indices and any component stocks of the underlying indices listed on major securities markets. Such purchase activity could potentially increase the initial index value of any underlying index, and, therefore, could increase the value at or above which such underlying index must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlying indices). In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, by purchasing and selling the stocks constituting the underlying indices, futures or options contracts on the underlying indices or their component stocks listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of any underlying index, and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the securities or the payment you will receive at maturity, if any (depending also on the performance of the other underlying indices). For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see "Use of Proceeds and Hedging" in the accompanying product supplement.
Additional considerations:	Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly.
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest:	MS & Co. expects to sell all of the securities that it purchases from us to an unaffiliated dealer at a price of $993.50 per security, for further sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts at the price to public of $1,000 per security. MS & Co. will not receive a sales commission with respect to the securities. MS & Co. is an affiliate of MSFL and a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and it and other affiliates of ours expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the securities. MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm's distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account. See "Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" and "Use of Proceeds and Hedging" in the accompanying product supplement.
Validity of the securities:	In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to MSFL and Morgan Stanley, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by MSFL, authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such securities will be valid and binding obligations of MSFL and the related guarantee will be a valid and binding obligation of Morgan Stanley, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above and (ii) any provision of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of Morgan Stanley's obligation under the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture and its authentication of the securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated February 26, 2024, which is Exhibit 5-a to Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by Morgan Stanley on February 26, 2024.

Annex A - Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM

The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM was developed by Nasdaq and is calculated, maintained and published by The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc. ("Nasdaq OMX"). The underlying index is designed to measure the performance of Nasdaq-listed companies that are classified as technology according to the Industry Classification Benchmark which also meet other eligibility criteria determined by Nasdaq. The underlying index is reported by Bloomberg under the ticker symbol "NDXT." All information contained in this document regarding the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification.

The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is calculated under an equal-weighted methodology. On February 22, 2006, the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM began with a base of 1,000.00. To be eligible for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, a security and its issuer must meet the following criteria:

●the security must be included in the Nasdaq-100 Index®

●the issuer of the security's primary U.S. listing must be exclusively on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market;

●the issuer of the security must be classified as Technology according to the Industry Classification Benchmark ("ICB");

●if the issuer of the security is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, then that security must have listed options on a registered options market in the United States or be eligible for listed-options trading on a registered options market in the United States;

●the issuer of the security generally may not currently be in bankruptcy proceedings;

●each security must have a minimum average daily trading volume of 200,000 shares (measured over the three calendar months ending with the month that includes the reconstitution reference date);

●the issuer of the security generally may not have entered into a definitive agreement or other arrangement that would make it ineligible for index inclusion and where the transaction is imminent as determined by the Nasdaq Index Management Committee; and

●the security must have traded for at least three full calendar months, not including the month of initial listing, on an eligible exchange, which includes Nasdaq (Nasdaq Global Select Market, Nasdaq Global Market, or Nasdaq Capital Market), NYSE, NYSE American, or CBOE BZX. Eligibility is determined as of the constituent selection reference date and includes that month. A security that was added as a result of a spin-off will be exempt from the seasoning requirement.

Index Calculation.

The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is calculated without regard to ordinary dividends however it does reflect special dividends. The formula is as follows:

PRt =	Index Market Valuet
PR Index Divisort

where:

and:

"Index Security" shall mean a security that has been selected for membership in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, having met all applicable eligibility requirements.

n = Number of Index Securities in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM.

qi = Number of shares of Index Security i applied in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM. The number of shares can be based on any number of items which would be identified in each specific Index Methodology including total shares outstanding (TSO), application of free float, dividend yield, modification due to foreign ownership restrictions, modification due to capping etc. This can also be referred to as Index Shares.

pi = Price in quote currency of Index Security i. Depending on the time of the calculation, the price can be either of the following:

(1)The Start of Day (SOD) price which is the previous index calculation day's (t-1) closing price for Index Security i adjusted for corporate action(s) occurring prior to market open on date t, if any, for the SOD calculation only;

(2)The intraday price which reflects the current trading price received from the Index Exchange during the index calculation day;

(3)The End of Day (EOD) price refers to the Last Sale Price; or

(4)The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)

t = current index calculation day

t - 1 = previous index calculation day

Index Calendar.

The securities composing the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM are selected once annually each December. Securities currently within the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM must meet the eligibility criteria using market data through the end of October that year and total shares outstanding as of the end of November that year. Index reconstitutions are announced in early December and become effective after the close of trading on the third Friday in December.

The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December. The index rebalance uses the Last Sale Price ("LSP") of all Index securities as of the third Friday (February, May, August, and November, respectively). Index rebalance changes are announced in early March, June, September and December, and changes become effective after the close of trading on the third Friday in March, June, September and December.

Index Maintenance.

Deletion Policy. If at any time other than an index reconstitution, a component of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it is also removed from the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM at the same time.

This may include:

●listing on an ineligible index exchange;

●a security is not classified under the Technology Subsector according to the ICB;

●merger, acquisition, or other major corporate event that would otherwise adversely impact the integrity of the Index;

●if a company is organized as a REIT;

●if the issuer has an adjusted market capitalization below 0.10% of the aggregate adjusted market capitalization of the Nasdaq-100 Index® for two consecutive month-ends; or

●if a security that was added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® as the result of a spin-off event has an adjusted market capitalization below 0.10% of the aggregate adjusted market capitalization of the Nasdaq-100 Index® at the end of its second day of regular way trading as a Nasdaq-100 Index® member.

In the case of mergers and acquisitions, the effective date for the removal of an Index issuer or security will be largely event-based, with the goal to remove the issuer or security as soon as completion of the acquisition or merger has been deemed highly probable. Notable events include, but are not limited to, completion of various regulatory reviews, the conclusion of material lawsuits and/or shareholder and board approvals.

Securities that are added as a result of a spin-off may be deleted as soon as practicable after being added to the index. This may occur when Nasdaq determines that a security is ineligible for inclusion because of reasons such as ineligible exchange, security type, or industry. Securities that are added as a result of a spin-off may be maintained in the index until a later date and then removed, for example if a spin-off security has liquidity or market capitalization characteristics that diverge materially from the security eligibility criteria and could affect the integrity of the index.

Replacement Policy. When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is classified as Technology according to ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index®, it is also removed from the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM. As such, if the replacement company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® is classified as Technology according to ICB, it is added to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and will assume the weight of the removed company on the Index effective date.

When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is not classified as Technology according to ICB is removed and the replacement company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® is classified as Technology according to ICB, the replacement company is considered for addition to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM at the next quarterly Rebalance.

When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is classified as Technology according to ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the replacement company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® is not classified as Technology according to ICB, the company is removed from the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the divisor of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is adjusted to ensure Index continuity.
