Hypothetical payout profile (excluding contingent coupon payments)

If the securities are not automatically called prior to the maturity date and the ending price is less than the downside threshold price, you will lose more than 35%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at the maturity date.

Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any. You will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stock, but you will have full downside exposure to the underlying stock on the final calculation day if the ending price is less than the downside threshold price.

The face amount 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 will be less than $1,000 per security. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $964.20, or within $45.00 of that estimate. Our estimate of the value of the securities as determined on the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement. See “Investment Summary” and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for further information.

This document provides a summary of the terms of the securities. Investors should carefully review the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, product supplement for principal at risk securities and prospectus before making a decision to invest in the securities.

Preliminary Pricing Supplement: sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1666268/000095010324006594/dp211136_424b2-ps2241.htm

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary debt securities. See “Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk.

This introductory term sheet does not provide all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision.

The securities are not deposits or savings accounts and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Selected risk considerations

The risks set forth below are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, product supplement for principal at risk securities and prospectus. Please review those risk factors carefully.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities

The securities do not guarantee the return of the face amount of your securities at maturity.

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest.

The contingent coupon payment, if any, is based on the stock closing price of the underlying stock on only the related monthly calculation day at the end of the related interest period.

Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the price of the underlying stock.

The market price will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

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.

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

Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying stock.

Reinvestment risk.

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 face amount reduce the economic terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than the face amount and will adversely affect secondary market prices.

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.

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

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

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities.

The maturity date may be postponed if the final calculation day is postponed.

Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by Morgan Stanley, MSFL, WFS or our or their respective affiliates.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.

Risks Relating to the Underlying Stock

No affiliation with NVIDIA Corporation.

We may engage in business with or involving NVIDIA Corporation without regard to your interests.

The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every corporate event that could affect the underlying stock.

Historical closing prices of the underlying stock should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the underlying stock during the term of the securities.

For more information about the underlying stock, including historical performance information, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
