Risks Relating to an Investment in the Buffered PLUS

●The Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 20% of the stated principal amount.

●The market price of the Buffered PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

●The Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS.

●As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.

●The amount payable on the Buffered PLUS is not linked to the values of the underlying indices at any time other than the valuation date.

●Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in either underlying index.

●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 Buffered PLUS in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the Buffered PLUS, cause the estimated value of the Buffered PLUS to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices.

●The estimated value of the Buffered PLUS is $964.80 per Buffered PLUS, or within $45.00 of that estimate, and 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.

●The Buffered PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.

●Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS.

●The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the Buffered PLUS.

●The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS are uncertain.

Risks Relating to the Underlying Indices

●You are exposed to the price risk of both underlying indices.

●Because the Buffered PLUS are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying index, you are exposed to greater risk of sustaining a loss on your investment than if the Buffered PLUS were linked to just one underlying index.

●The Buffered PLUS are linked to the EURO STOXX 50^® Index and are subject to risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities.

●Adjustments to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS.
