Autocallable Buffered Nasdaq-100
Index®-Linked Notes due September 10, 2026
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed
by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The notes are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC
(“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes will not bear interest. The
notes will mature on the stated maturity date (September 10, 2026, subject to postponement) unless they are automatically called following
the call observation date September 15, 2025, subject to postponement). Your notes will be automatically called following the call observation
date if the closing level of the Nasdaq-100 Index® on such date is greater than or equal to the initial underlier level,
resulting in a payment on the call payment date (September 17, 2025) equal to $1,000 plus the product of $1,000 times the
call premium amount for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, and no further payment will be made on the notes. The call premium amount
is 10.30%.
If
your notes are not automatically called, the amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date will be based on the
performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index® as
measured from the trade date (September 6, 2024) to and including the determination date (September 8, 2026, subject to postponement).
If the final underlier level on the determination date is greater than or equal to the initial underlier level, you will receive an amount
equal to $1,000 plus the product of $1,000 times the maturity date premium amount of 20.60% for each $1,000 face amount
of your notes. If the final underlier level declines by up to 15.00% from the initial underlier level, you will receive the face amount
of your notes. However, if the final underlier level declines by more than 15.00% from the initial underlier level, the return on your
notes will be negative. You could lose your entire investment in the
notes. The notes 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 notes 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.
The return on
your notes is capped. The maximum payment you can receive if your notes are called following the call observation date is limited to $1,103
per note. If the notes are not automatically called, your payment at maturity is limited to $1,206 per note.
If your notes
have not been called, at maturity, we will calculate the underlier return, which is the percentage increase or decrease in the final underlier
level from the initial underlier level. On the stated maturity date, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, you will receive an amount
in cash equal to:
| ● | if the underlier return is positive or zero (the final underlier level is greater than or equal to the initial underlier
level), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) the maturity date premium amount
of 20.60%; |
| ● | If the underlier return is negative but is not below -15.00% (the final underlier level is less than the initial
underlier level but not by more than 15.00%), $1,000; or |
| ● | if the underlier return is negative and is less than -15.00% (the final underlier level is less than the initial
underlier level by more than 15.00%), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b)
approximately 1.1765 times (c) the sum of the underlier return plus 15.00%. |
Under these circumstances, you will lose some or all of your
investment.
You should read the additional disclosure herein so that you may better
understand the terms and risks of your investment.
The estimated value on the trade date is $973.30 per note. See

MORGAN STANLEY
About Your Prospectus
The notes are notes issued as part of MSFL’s Series A Global Medium-Term
Notes program. This prospectus includes this pricing supplement and the accompanying documents listed below. This pricing supplement constitutes
a supplement to the documents listed below and should be read in conjunction with such documents:
· Prospectus dated April 12, 2024
· Product Supplement dated November 16, 2023
· Index Supplement dated November 16, 2023
When you read the accompanying product supplement and index supplement,
please note that all references in such supplements to the prospectus dated November 16, 2023, or to any sections therein, should refer
instead to the accompanying prospectus dated April 12, 2024 or to the corresponding sections of such prospectus, as applicable. The information
in this pricing supplement supersedes any conflicting information in the documents listed above. In addition, some of the terms or features
described in the listed documents may not apply to your notes. |
ESTIMATED VALUE
The Original Issue Price of each note is $1,000. This price includes
costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value
of the notes on the Trade Date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each note on the Trade Date is $973.30.
What goes into the estimated value on the Trade Date?
In valuing the notes on the Trade Date, we take into account that the
notes comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the Underlier. The estimated value of the notes is determined
using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the Underlier, instruments based on the Underlier,
volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market
credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.
What determines the economic terms of the notes?
In determining the economic terms of the notes, including the Call Premium
Amount, the Maturity Date Premium Amount and the Buffer Amount, we use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than our
secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you
were lower or if the internal funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the notes would be more favorable to you.
What is the relationship between the estimated value on the Trade
Date and the secondary market price of the notes?
The price at which MS & Co. purchases the notes in the secondary
market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the Underlier, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated
value on the Trade Date, because the secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer
spread that MS & Co. would charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated
with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the notes are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 3 months following
the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions,
including those related to the Underlier, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated
value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.
MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes,
and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Market disruption event: The following replaces in its entirety
the section entitled “Description of Auto-Callable Securities—Some Definitions—market disruption event” on page

“Market disruption event” means, with respect to the Underlier:
(i) the occurrence or existence of:
| (a) | a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of securities then constituting 20 percent or more, by weight, of the Underlier
(or the successor index) on the relevant exchanges for such securities for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour
period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange, or |
| (b) | a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of any relevant exchange as a result of which the reported trading
prices for securities then constituting 20 percent or more, by weight, of the Underlier (or the successor index), or futures or options
contracts, if available, relating to the Underlier (or the successor index) or the securities then constituting 20 percent or more, by
weight, of the Underlier during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange
are materially inaccurate, or |
| (c) | the suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on any major U.S. securities market for trading in futures or options contracts
or exchange-traded funds related to the Underlier (or the successor index), or in futures or options contracts, if available, relating
to securities then constituting 20 percent or more, by weight, of the Underlier (or the successor index) for more than two hours of trading
or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such market, |
in each case as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion;
and
(ii) a determination by the calculation agent in its sole discretion
that any event described in clause (i) above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind
or adjust all or a material portion of the hedge position with respect to the notes.
For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event exists
at any time, if trading in a security included in the Underlier is suspended, absent or materially limited at that time, then the relevant
percentage contribution of that security to the value of the Underlier shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the value
of the Underlier attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall value of the Underlier, in each case immediately before that
suspension or limitation.
For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event has
occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a market disruption event if it results from
an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange or market, (2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading
in the relevant futures or options contract or exchange-traded fund will not constitute a market disruption event, (3) a suspension of
trading in futures or options contracts or exchange-traded funds on the Underlier, or futures or options contracts, if available, relating
to securities then constituting 20 percent or more, by weight, of the Underlier, by the primary securities market trading in such contracts
or funds by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by such securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating
to such contracts or funds, or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts or funds will constitute a suspension,
absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts or exchange-traded funds related to the Underlier and (4) a
“suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” on any relevant exchange or on the primary market on which futures
or options contracts or exchange-traded funds related to the Underlier are traded will not include any time when such securities market
is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.
Trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon
Calculation Agent: MS & Co.
Issuer Notice To Registered Security Holders, the Trustee and the
Depositary: In the event that the Stated Maturity Date is postponed due to postponement of the Determination Date, the Issuer
shall give notice of such postponement and, once it has been determined, of the date to which the Stated Maturity Date has been rescheduled
(i) to each registered holder of the notes by mailing notice of such postponement by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such registered
holder’s last address as it shall appear upon the registry books, (ii) to the Trustee by facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice
to the Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its New York office and (iii) to The Depository Trust
Company (the “depositary”) by telephone or facsimile, confirmed
by mailing such notice to the depositary by first class mail, postage prepaid. Any notice that is mailed to a registered holder of the
notes in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given to such registered holder, whether or not such
registered holder receives the notice. The Issuer shall give such notice as promptly as possible, and in no case later than (i) with respect
to notice of postponement of the Stated Maturity Date, the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Stated Maturity Date and (ii)
with respect to notice of the date to which the Stated Maturity Date has been rescheduled, the Business Day immediately following the
actual Determination Date for determining the Final Underlier Level.
In the event that the notes are subject to early redemption, the issuer
shall, (i) on the business day following the Call Observation Date, give notice of the early redemption of the notes and the Cash Settlement
Amount, including specifying the payment date of the amount due upon the early redemption, (x) to each registered holder of the notes
by mailing notice of such early redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such registered holder’s last address as it
shall appear upon the registry books, (y) to the Trustee by facsimile, confirmed by mailing such notice to the Trustee by first class
mail, postage prepaid, at its New York office, and (z) to the depositary by telephone or facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice to
the depositary by first class mail, postage prepaid and (ii) on or prior to the Call Payment Date, deliver the aggregate cash amount due
with respect to the notes to the Trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the notes. Any notice that is mailed to a registered
holder of the notes in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given to such registered holder, whether
or not such registered holder receives the notice.
The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, (i) provide
written notice to the Trustee and to the depositary of the amount of cash, if any, to be delivered with respect to each Face Amount of
notes, on or prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the Stated Maturity Date, and (ii) deliver the aggregate
cash amount due with respect to the notes, if any, to the Trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the notes, on the Stated
Maturity Date.

HYPOTHETICAL
EXAMPLES
The following table and chart
are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and
are intended merely to illustrate the impact that the various hypothetical Closing Levels of the Underlier on the Call Observation Date
and the Determination Date could have on whether or not the notes are automatically called following the Call Observation Date and, if
the notes are not automatically called, the Cash Settlement Amount payable on the Stated Maturity Date.
The examples below are based on
a range of Closing Levels of the Underlier that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the level of the Underlier will be
on any day during the term of the notes, and no one can predict what the Closing Level of the Underlier will be on the Call Observation
Date or the Determination Date. The Underlier has at times experienced periods of high volatility — meaning that the level of the
Underlier has changed considerably in relatively short periods — and its performance cannot be predicted for any future period.
The information in the following
examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the notes assuming that they are purchased on the Original Issue Date at the Face Amount
and held to the Call Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date, as applicable. The value of the notes at any time after the Trade Date
will vary based on many economic and market factors, including interest rates, the volatility of the Underlier, our creditworthiness and
changes in market conditions, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. Any sale prior to the Stated Maturity Date could result in a substantial
loss to you.

| · | No discontinuation of the Underlier or alteration of the method by which the Underlier is calculated. |
| · | Notes purchased on the Original Issue Date at the Face Amount and held to the Call Payment Date or Stated Maturity Date, as applicable. |
The actual performance of the Underlier over the term of the notes,
as well as the Cash Settlement Amount, if any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical
levels of the Underlier shown elsewhere in this document. For information about the historical levels of the Underlier during recent periods,
see “The Underlier” below.
If your notes are automatically called following the Call Observation
Date (i.e., the Closing Level of the Underlier on the Call Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Call Level), the
Cash Settlement Amount that we would deliver for each $1,000 Face Amount of notes on the Call Payment Date would be the sum of
$1,000 plus the product of $1,000 times the Call Premium Amount. If, for example, the Closing Level of the Underlier
on the Call Observation Date were determined to be 110.000% of the Initial Underlier Level, your notes would be automatically called and
the Cash Settlement Amount that we would deliver on your notes on the Call Payment Date would be 110.30% of the Face Amount of notes or
$1,103 for each $1,000 of the Face Amount of notes.
If the notes are not automatically called following the Call Observation
Date (i.e., the Closing Level of the Underlier on the Call Observation Date is less than the Call Level), the Cash Settlement
Amount we would deliver for each $1,000 Face Amount of your notes on the Stated Maturity Date will depend on the performance of the Underlier
on the Determination Date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that the notes have not been automatically called following
the Call Observation Date and reflects hypothetical Cash Settlement Amounts that you could receive on the Stated Maturity Date. The
levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical Final Underlier Levels and are expressed as percentages of the Initial
Underlier Level. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical Cash Settlement Amount, based on the corresponding hypothetical
Final Underlier Level (expressed as a percentage of the Initial Underlier Level), and are expressed as percentages of the Face Amount
of notes (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical Cash Settlement Amount of 100% means that the value
of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 Face Amount of notes on the Stated Maturity Date would equal 100% of the Face
Amount of notes, based on the corresponding hypothetical Final Underlier Level (expressed as a percentage of the Initial Underlier Level)
and the assumptions noted above. The numbers appearing in the table and chart below may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

If, for example, the notes have not been automatically called following
the Call Observation Date and the Final Underlier Level were determined to be 25.000% of the Initial Underlier Level, the Cash Settlement
Amount would be approximately 29.412% of the Face Amount of notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes
on the Original Issue Date at the Face Amount and held them to the Stated Maturity Date, you would lose approximately 70.588% of your
investment.
If you purchased your notes at a premium to the Face Amount, you would
lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment.
If the Final Underlier Level were determined to be 200.000% of the Initial
Underlier Level, the Cash Settlement Amount would be capped at 120.600% of each $1,000 Face Amount of notes, as shown in the table above.
As a result, if you purchased the notes on the Original Issue Date at the Face Amount and held them to the Stated Maturity Date, the Cash
Settlement Amount would be capped and you would not benefit from any increase in the Final Underlier Level above the Initial Underlier
Level.
RISK FACTORS
This section describes the material risks relating to the notes. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement and prospectus. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the notes. |
RISKS RELATING TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES
The Notes Do Not Pay Interest Or Guarantee The
Return Of Any Of Your Principal
The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities
in that the notes do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. If the notes are not automatically called
prior to maturity and the Final Underlier Level has declined by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount of 15% from the Initial Underlier
Level, you will receive for each note that you hold a Cash Settlement Amount that is less than the Face Amount of each note by an amount
proportionate to the decline in the level of the Underlier below the Buffer Level of 85% of the Initial Underlier Level times the
Buffer Rate of approximately 117.65%. As there is no minimum Cash Settlement Amount on the notes, you could lose your entire initial investment.
Also, the market price of your notes prior to the Stated Maturity Date
may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the Stated Maturity
Date, you may receive significantly less than the amount of your investment in the notes.
The Appreciation Potential Of The Notes Is Limited
By The Call Premium Amount Or Maturity Date Premium Amount, As Applicable
The appreciation
potential of the notes is limited to the Call Premium Amount, if the Underlier closes at or above the Initial Underlier Level on the Call
Observation Date, or to the Maturity Date Premium Amount, if the notes have not been called prior to maturity and the Final Underlier
Level is at or above the Initial Underlier Level. In all cases, you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlier, which could
be significant. Accordingly, the amount payable on your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had you invested directly
in the stocks composing the Underlier.
The Automatic Call Feature
May Limit The Term Of Your Investment To As Short As Approximately One Year And One Week, And You May Not Be Able To Reinvest At Comparable
Terms Or Returns
The term of your
investment in the notes may be shortened due to the automatic call feature of the notes. If the notes are redeemed prior to maturity,
you will receive no further payments on the notes, may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to
reinvest at comparable terms or returns.
If You Purchase Your Notes At A Premium To The
Face Amount, The Return On Your Investment Will Be Lower Than The Return On Notes Purchased At The Face Amount, And The Impact Of Certain
Key Terms Of The Notes Will Be Negatively Affected
The Cash Settlement Amount will not be adjusted based on the issue price
you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the Face Amount of notes, then the return on your investment
in such notes held to the Stated Maturity Date will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at
the Face Amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to the Face Amount and hold them to the Stated Maturity Date, the return on your
investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at the Face Amount or at a discount to the Face
Amount. In addition, the impact of the Buffer Level and the Call Premium Amount or the Maturity Date Premium Amount, as applicable, on
the return on your investment will depend upon the price you pay for your notes relative to the Face Amount. For example, if you purchase
your notes at a premium to the Face Amount, the Buffer Level will not offer the same measure of
protection to your investment as would have been the case for notes purchased at the Face Amount or at a discount to the Face Amount.
Additionally, the Cash Settlement Amount will be limited by the Call Premium Amount or the Maturity Date Premium Amount, if and as applicable,
which would represent a lower percentage return relative to your
initial investment than it would
have been had you purchased the notes at the Face Amount or at a discount to the Face Amount.
The Market Price Will Be Influenced By Many Unpredictable
Factors
Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence
the value of the notes in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in the
secondary market, including: the level of the Underlier, volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the Underlier and
dividend yield of the Underlier, interest and yield rates, time remaining to maturity, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial,
political and regulatory or judicial events that affect the Underlier or equities markets generally and which may affect the Final Underlier
Level of the Underlier and any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. The level of the Underlier may be,
and has been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “The Underlier” below. You may
receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the Face Amount per note if you try to sell your notes prior to maturity.
The Notes
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 Notes
You are dependent on our ability
to pay all amounts due on the notes upon an automatic call or at maturity, and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. If we default
on our obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the
market value of the notes prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any actual
or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely
to adversely affect the market value of the notes.
As A Finance
Subsidiary, MSFL Has No Independent Operations And Will Have No Independent Assets
As a finance
subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of its securities and will have no independent assets
available for distributions to holders of the notes if they make claims in respect of such notes in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar
proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by Morgan Stanley
and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Morgan Stanley. Holders will have
recourse only to a single claim against Morgan Stanley and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of the notes should accordingly assume
that in any such proceedings they could not have any priority over and should be treated pari passu with the claims of other unsecured,
unsubordinated creditors of Morgan Stanley, including holders of Morgan Stanley-issued securities.
The Amount Payable On The Notes Is Not Linked
To The Level Of The Underlier At Any Time Other Than The Call Observation Date Or The Determination Date, As Applicable
The Cash Settlement Amount you will receive on the Call Payment Date,
if any, will be paid only if the Closing Level of the Underlier on the Call Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier
Level. Therefore, the Closing Level of the Underlier on dates other than the Call Observation Date will have no effect on any Cash Settlement
Amount paid in respect of your notes on the Call Payment Date. In addition, the Cash Settlement amount you will receive on the Stated
Maturity Date will be based on the Closing Level on the Determination Date, subject to adjustment for non-Trading Days and certain market
disruption events. Even if the level of the Underlier appreciates prior to the Determination Date but then drops by the Determination
Date, the Cash Settlement Amount may be less, and may be significantly less, than it would have been had the Cash Settlement Amount been
linked to the level of the Underlier prior to such drop. Although the actual level of the Underlier on the Call Payment Date, the Stated
Maturity Date or at other times during the term of the notes may be higher than the Closing Level on the Call Observation Date or the
Determination Date, the Cash Settlement Amount will be based solely on the Closing Level on the Call Observation Date or the Determination
Date, as applicable.
Investing In The Notes Is Not Equivalent To Investing
In The Underlier
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the Underlier
or its component stocks. Investors in the notes will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any
other rights with respect to stocks that constitute the Underlier.
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 Notes In The Original
Issue Price Reduce The Economic Terms Of The Notes, Cause The Estimated Value Of The Notes To Be Less Than The Original Issue Price And
Will Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices
Assuming no change in market conditions or any other
relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., may be willing to purchase the notes in secondary market
transactions will likely be significantly lower than the Original Issue Price, because secondary market prices will exclude the issuing,
selling, structuring and hedging-related costs that are included in the Original Issue Price and borne by you and because the secondary
market prices will reflect our secondary market credit spreads and the bid-offer spread that any dealer would charge in a secondary market
transaction of this type as well as other factors.
The inclusion of the costs of issuing, selling, structuring
and hedging the notes, including a fee payable by our affiliate MS & Co. to iCapital Markets LLC, which is a broker-dealer in which
an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, a dealer participating in the distribution of the notes, holds an indirect minority equity
interest, for services it is providing in connection with this offering in the Original Issue Price and the lower rate we are willing
to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the notes less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.
However, because the costs associated with issuing,
selling, structuring and hedging the notes are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 3 months following the issue date,
to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the notes in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those
related to the Underlier, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on values higher than the estimated value,
and we expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account statements.
The Estimated Value Of The Notes 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
These pricing and valuation models are proprietary and rely in part
on subjective views of certain market inputs and certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result,
because there is no market-standard way to value these types of securities, our models may yield a higher estimated value of the notes
than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the notes. In addition, the estimated
value on the Trade Date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase
your notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your notes at any time after the date hereof will vary based
on many factors that cannot be predicted with accuracy, including our creditworthiness and changes in market conditions. See also “The
Market Price Will Be Influenced By Many Unpredictable Factors” above.
The Notes Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities
Exchange And Secondary Trading May Be Limited
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore,
there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes and, if
it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time. When it does make a market, it will generally do so for transactions
of routine secondary market size at prices based on its estimate of the current value of the notes, taking into account its bid/offer
spread, our credit spreads, market volatility, the notional size of the proposed sale, the cost of unwinding any related hedging positions,
the time remaining to maturity and the likelihood that it will be able to resell the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may
not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly
in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any,
at which MS & Co. is willing to transact. If, at any time, MS & Co. were to cease making a market in the notes, it is likely that
there would be no secondary market for the notes. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.
The Calculation Agent, Which Is A Subsidiary
Of Morgan Stanley And An Affiliate Of MSFL, Will Make Determinations With Respect To The Notes
As calculation agent, MS & Co. will determine the Initial Underlier
Level, whether the securities will be called following the Call Observation Date and the Final Underlier Level and will calculate the
Cash Settlement Amount you receive upon an automatic call or at maturity, if any. Moreover, certain determinations made by MS & Co.
in its capacity as calculation agent, may require it to exercise discretion and make subjective judgments, such as with respect to the
occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the Final Underlier
Level in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of the Underlier. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely
affect the Cash Settlement Amount, if any. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of
Auto-Callable Securities—Postponement of Determination Dates” and “—Calculation Agent and Calculations”
in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the notes on the Trade Date.
Hedging And Trading Activity By Our Affiliates
Could Potentially Adversely Affect The Value Of The Notes
One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers expect to carry
out hedging activities related to the notes (and possibly to other instruments linked to the Underlier or its component stocks), including
trading in the stocks that constitute the Underlier as well as in other instruments related to the Underlier. As a result, these entities
may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent
dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the Determination Date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the stocks that constitute the
Underlier and other financial instruments related to the Underlier on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other
businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the Trade Date could potentially increase the Initial Underlier
Level, and, therefore, could increase (i) the level at or above which the Underlier must close on the Call Observation Date so that the
notes are redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date for the Call Premium Amount, and (ii) the Buffer Level, which is the level at or
above which the Underlier must close on the Determination Date so that investors do not suffer a loss on their initial investment in the
notes. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes, including on the Determination Date, could adversely
affect the level of the Underlier on the Determination Date, and, accordingly, the Cash Settlement Amount an investor will receive at
maturity, if any. Furthermore, if the dealer from which you purchase notes is to conduct trading and hedging activities for us in connection
with the notes, that dealer may profit in connection with such trading and hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition
to the compensation that the dealer receives for the sale of the notes to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn a profit
in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the dealer to sell the notes to you, in addition to the compensation
they would receive for the sale of the notes.
We May Sell An Additional Aggregate Face Amount
Of Notes At A Different Issue Price
At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate Face
Amount of notes subsequent to the date hereof. The issue price of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or
lower) from the issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this document.
The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An
Investment In The Notes Are Uncertain
Please read the discussion under “Tax Considerations” in
this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement (together,
the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes. There is
no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the notes, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain, and
the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment of a note as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction”
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the notes, the tax consequences
of the ownership and disposition of the notes, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. Holders and the withholding
tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders, might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or
IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the notes, possibly retroactively.
Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments, as well as any tax
consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
RISKS RELATING TO THE UNDERLIER
The Underlier Reflects The Price Return Of The
Stocks Composing The Underlier, Not A Total Return
The return on the notes is based on the performance
of the Underlier, which reflects the changes in the market prices of the stocks composing the Underlier. It is not, however, linked to
a “total return” version of the Underlier, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect all dividends
and other distributions paid on the stocks composing the Underlier. The return on the notes will not include such a total return feature.
Adjustments To The Underlier Could Adversely
Affect The Value Of The Notes
The publisher of the Underlier may add, delete or substitute the stocks
constituting the Underlier or make other methodological changes that could change the level of the Underlier. The publisher of the Underlier
may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the Underlier at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will
have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued Underlier and is permitted to consider
indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates. If the calculation agent determines that
there is no appropriate successor index, the Cash Settlement Amount on the notes will be an amount based on the closing prices at maturity
of the securities composing the Underlier at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation
agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the Underlier last in effect prior to discontinuance of the Underlier.
Past Performance is No Guide to Future Performance
The actual performance of the Underlier over the term of the notes,
as well as the amount payable at maturity, may bear little relation to the historical Closing Levels of the Underlier or to the hypothetical
return examples set forth herein. We cannot predict the future performance of the Underlier.
THE UNDERLIER
The Nasdaq-100 Index®, which is calculated, maintained
and published by Nasdaq, Inc., is a modified capitalization-weighted index of 100 of the largest and most actively traded equity securities
of non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”). The Nasdaq-100 Index® includes
companies across a variety of major industry groups. At any moment in time, the value of the Nasdaq-100 Index® equals the
aggregate value of the then-current Nasdaq-100 Index® share weights of each of the Nasdaq-100 Index® component
securities, which are based on the total shares outstanding of each such Nasdaq-100 Index® component security, multiplied
by each such security’s respective last sale price on the Nasdaq (which may be the official closing price published by the Nasdaq),
and divided by a scaling factor, which becomes the basis for the reported Nasdaq-100 Index® value. For additional

TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax
consequences of an investment in the notes due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell
LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a note as a single financial contract that is
an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Assuming this treatment of the notes is respected and subject to the
discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax
consequences should result based on current law:
| § | A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the
term of the notes prior to settlement, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange. |
| § | Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the notes, a U.S. Holder should recognize
gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the notes. Such gain or loss
should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the notes for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss
otherwise. |
We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”) regarding the treatment of the notes. An alternative characterization of the notes could materially and adversely
affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the notes, including the timing and character of income recognized. In addition,
the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of
“prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject
of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative
contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and
adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect.
As discussed in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally
impose a 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with
respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities (each, an “Underlying Security”).
Subject to certain exceptions, Section 871(m) generally applies to securities that substantially replicate the economic performance of
one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations (a “Specified Security”).
However, pursuant to an IRS notice, Section 871(m) will not apply to securities issued before January 1, 2027 that do not have a delta
of one with respect to any Underlying Security. Based on our determination that the notes do not have a delta of one with respect to any
Underlying Security, our counsel is of the opinion that the notes should not be Specified Securities and, therefore, should not be subject
to Section 871(m).
Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether
you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any
additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of
Section 871(m) to the notes.
Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the
notes should read the discussion under “Risk Factors” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal
Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments, and any tax consequences arising under the
laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
The discussion in the preceding paragraphs under “Tax considerations”
and the discussion contained in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement,
insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the
full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE NOTES
No interest or dividends: The notes will not pay interest or
dividends.
No listing: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
No redemption: The notes will not be subject to any redemption
right.
Purchase at amount other than Face
Amount: The amount we will pay you on the Call Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date, as applicable,
for your notes will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for your notes, so if you acquire notes at a premium (or discount)
to the Face Amount and hold them to the Call Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date, it could affect your investment in a number of
ways. The return on your investment in such notes will be lower (or higher) than it would have been had you purchased the notes at the
Face Amount. Also, the Buffer Level would not offer the same measure of protection to your investment as would be the case if you had
purchased the notes at the Face Amount. Additionally, the Call Premium Amount or Maturity Date Premium Amount, if and as applicable, would
represent a lower (or higher) percentage return than it would have had you purchased the notes at the Face Amount. See “Risk Factors—If
You Purchase Your Notes At A Premium To The Face Amount, The Return On Your Investment Will Be Lower Than The Return On Notes Purchased
At The Face Amount, And The Impact Of Certain Key Terms Of The Notes Will Be Negatively Affected” beginning on page 10 of this document.
Use of proceeds and hedging: The proceeds from the sale of the
notes will be used by us for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $1,000 per note issued. The costs of the notes
borne by you and described on page 2 comprise the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the notes.
On or prior to the Trade Date, we will hedge our anticipated exposure
in connection with the notes, by entering into hedging transactions with our affiliates and/or third party dealers. We expect our hedging
counterparties to take positions in stocks of the Underlier, futures and options contracts on the Underlier, and any component stocks
of the Underlier listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that they may wish to
use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase activity could increase the level of the Underlier on the Trade Date, and therefore
increase (i) the level at or above which the Underlier must close on the Call Observation Date so that the notes are redeemed prior to
the Stated Maturity Date for the Call Premium Amount, and (ii) the Buffer Level, which is the level at or above which the Underlier must
close on the Determination Date so that investors do not suffer a loss on their initial investment in the notes. In addition, through
our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the notes, including on the Determination Date, by purchasing
and selling the stocks constituting the Underlier, futures or options contracts on the Underlier or its component stocks listed on major
securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging
activities. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the notes, and the hedging strategy
may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the Determination Date approaches. We cannot give any assurance
that our hedging activities will not affect the level of the Underlier, and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the notes or the
payment you will receive at maturity, if any. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and
Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.
Additional considerations: Client accounts over which Morgan
Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase
the notes, either directly or indirectly.
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts
of interest: We have agreed to sell to MS & Co., and MS & Co. has agreed to purchase from us, the aggregate face amount of
the offered notes specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. MS & Co. proposes initially to offer the notes to an unaffiliated
securities dealer at the price to public set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement less a concession of 2% of the face amount.
MS & Co., the agent for this offering, is our affiliate. Because MS & Co. is both our affiliate and a member of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the underwriting arrangements for this offering must comply with the requirements
of FINRA Rule 5121 regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an
affiliate and related conflicts of interest. In accordance with FINRA
Rule 5121, MS & Co. may not make sales in offerings of the notes to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval
of the customer.
MS & Co. is an affiliate of MSFL and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Morgan Stanley, and it and other affiliates of ours expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the
notes.
MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements
of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member
firm’s distribution of the notes of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates
may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” and “Use
of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.
Settlement: We expect to deliver the notes against payment for
the notes on the Original Issue Date, which will be the fifth scheduled Business Day following the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one Business Day, unless
the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the Original Issue Date is more than one Business Day after the Trade
Date, purchasers who wish to transact in the notes more than one Business Day prior to the Original Issue Date will be required to specify
alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

VALIDITY OF
THE NOTES
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel
to MSFL and Morgan Stanley, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by MSFL, authenticated by
the trustee pursuant to the MSFL Senior Debt Indenture (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) and delivered against payment as contemplated
herein, such notes will be valid and binding obligations of MSFL and the related guarantee will be a valid and binding obligation of Morgan
Stanley, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts
of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the
effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above and (ii)
