Hypothetical payout profile
If the ending level is less than the threshold level, you
will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the underlying index in excess of 15% and will lose some, and possibly
up to 85%, of the face amount of your securities at maturity.
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 $955.10, or within $35.00 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 “Estimated Value of the Securities” 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 referenced below, product supplement
for principal at risk securities, index supplement and prospectus, and the “Selected risk considerations” on the following
page, before making a decision to invest in the securities.

*subject to
change
**In addition,
selected dealers may receive a fee of up to 0.30% for marketing and other services.
The securities
have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary debt securities. See
“Selected risk considerations” in this term sheet and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing
supplement and product 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, index
supplement and prospectus. Please review those risk factors carefully.
Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities
| · | The securities do not pay interest, and you will receive less, and up to
85% less, than the face amount of your securities at maturity if the ending level is less than the threshold level. |
| · | The appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the maximum
return. |
| · | 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. |
| · | The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the value of the
underlying index at any time other than the calculation day. |
| · | Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the 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 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 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 Index
| · | Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of
the securities. |
| · | Historical levels of the underlying index should not be taken as an indication
of the future performance of the underlying index during the term of the securities. |
For more information about the underlying index, including historical
performance information, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
