Callable Contingent Income Securities due May 3, 2029
Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the SPDR® S&P® Regional Banking ETF, the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the S&P 500® Index
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The securities are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities have the terms described in the accompanying prospectus supplement, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. The securities do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but only if the closing level of each of the SPDR® S&P® Regional Banking ETF, the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund and the S&P 500® Index on the related observation date is at or above 70% of its respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective coupon barrier level. If the closing level of any underlying is less than the coupon barrier level for such underlying on any observation date, we will pay no coupon for the related quarterly period. In addition, beginning on August 5, 2025, we will redeem the securities on any quarterly redemption date for a redemption payment equal to the sum of the stated principal amount plus any contingent quarterly coupon otherwise due with respect to the related observation date, if and only if the output of a risk neutral valuation model on a business day, as selected by the calculation agent, that is no earlier than three business days before the observation date preceding such redemption date and no later than such observation date, based on the inputs indicated under “Call feature” below, indicates that redeeming on such date is economically rational for us as compared to not redeeming on such date. An early redemption of the securities will not automatically occur based on the performance of the underlyings. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 60% of the respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the stated principal amount and, if the final level of each underlying is also greater than or equal to the respective coupon barrier level, the related contingent quarterly coupon. If, however, the final level of any underlying is less than its downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 60% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment based on the performance of any underlying and also the risk of not receiving any quarterly coupons during the entire 4.75-year term of the securities. Because payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline beyond the respective coupon barrier level and/or respective downside threshold level, as applicable, of any underlying will result in few or no contingent quarterly coupons and/or a significant loss of your investment, as applicable, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. Investors will not participate in any appreciation in any underlying. The securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no quarterly interest if any underlying closes below the coupon barrier level for such underlying on the observation dates, and the risk of an early redemption of the securities based on the output of a risk neutral valuation model. The securities are notes issued as part of MSFL’s Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.
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.

Call feature:
|
Beginning on August 5, 2025, an early redemption, in whole but not in part, will occur on a redemption date if and only if the output of a risk neutral valuation model on a business day, as selected by the calculation agent, that is no earlier than three business days before the observation date preceding such redemption date and no later than such observation date (the “determination date”), taking as input: (i) prevailing reference market levels, volatilities and correlations, as applicable and in each case as of the determination date and (ii) Morgan Stanley’s credit spreads as of the pricing date, indicates that redeeming on such date is economically rational for us as compared to not redeeming on such date. If we call the securities, we will give you notice no later than the observation date preceding the redemption date specified in the notice. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.
|
Contingent quarterly coupon:
|
If, on any observation date, the closing level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective coupon barrier level, we will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 11.40% (corresponding to approximately $28.50 per quarter per security) on the related contingent coupon payment date.
If, on any observation date, the closing level of any underlying is less than the coupon barrier level for such underlying, no contingent quarterly coupon will be paid with respect to that observation date. It is possible that one or more underlyings will remain below the respective coupon barrier level(s) for extended periods of time or even throughout the entire term of the securities so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly coupons.
|
Payment at maturity:
|
If the securities have not previously been redeemed, investors will receive on the maturity date a payment at maturity determined as follows:
If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level: the stated principal amount and, if the final level of each underlying is also greater than or equal to the respective coupon barrier level, the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the final observation date.
If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level: (i) the stated principal amount multiplied by (ii) the performance factor of the worst performing underlying. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than 60% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero.
