Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature due October 21, 2027, With 6-Month Initial Non-Call Period
All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The securities offered are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and have the terms described in the accompanying product 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. Beginning after six months, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each of the S&P 500® Index and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund, which we refer to as the underlyings, on any of the quarterly determination dates is greater than or equal to its respective then-applicable redemption threshold level, for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities, as described below. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 90% of its respective initial level, investors will receive a payment at maturity of at least $1,337.50 per $1,000 security (to be determined on the pricing date). If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of either underlying is less than 90% of its respective initial level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 80% of its respective initial level which we refer to as the respective downside threshold level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of either underlying is less than its respective 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 80% 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. The securities are for investors who are willing to forgo current income and participation in the appreciation of either underlying in exchange for the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment or payment at maturity greater than the stated principal amount if each underlying closes at or above the respective then-applicable redemption threshold level on a quarterly determination date or at or above 90% of its initial level on the final determination date, respectively, with no possibility of an early redemption until after the six-month non-call period. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline beyond the respective downside threshold level of either underlying will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlying has appreciated or has not declined as much. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of either underlying. 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.
