Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the Russell 2000® Index due September 11, 2026
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities, which we refer to as 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 product supplement for Jump Securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. The securities pay no interest and will instead pay an amount in cash at maturity that may be greater than or less than the stated principal amount, depending on the closing values of the underlying indices on the valuation date. If the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to 80% of its respective initial index value, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security that you hold at maturity plus the upside payment of $181 per security. However, if the final index value of any underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value, you will be exposed to the decline in the level of the worst performing underlying index beyond the buffer amount of 20%, and you will lose some or a significant portion of your initial investment. The payment at maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount, and you could lose up to 80% of your investment. Because the payment at maturity on the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline in any final index value below 80% of its respective initial index value will result in a loss on your investment, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have not declined as much. The securities are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of three underlying indices and forgo current income and returns above the fixed upside payment in exchange for the upside payment and buffer features that in each case apply to a limited range of performance of the worst performing underlying index. 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.

Payment at maturity:
|
●If the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value:
$1,000 + the upside payment
●If the final index value of any underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold value, meaning the value of any underlying index has declined by more than the buffer amount of 20% from its respective initial index value to its respective final index value:
$1,000 + $[1,000 × (index percent change of the worst performing underlying index + 20%)]
Because the index percent change of the worst performing underlying index will be less than -20% in this scenario, the payment at maturity will be less, and potentially significantly less, than the stated principal amount of $1,000.
