Underlying Indices
For more information about the underlying indices,
including historical performance information, see the accompanying preliminary terms.
Risk Considerations
The risks set forth below are discussed
in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary terms. Please review those risk factors
carefully prior to making an investment decision.
|
·
|
The
securities provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of your principal.
|
|
·
|
The
securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest.
|
|
·
|
You
are exposed to the price risk of each underlying index, with respect to both the contingent
monthly coupons, if any, and the payment at maturity, if any.
|
|
·
|
Because
the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying index,
you are exposed to greater risks of receiving no contingent monthly coupons and sustaining
a significant loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one
index.
|
|
·
|
The
contingent monthly coupon, if any, is based on the value of each underlying index on
only the related monthly observation date at the end of the related interest period.
|
|
·
|
Investors
will not participate in any appreciation in any underlying index.
|
|
·
|
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.
|
|
·
|
The
estimated value of the securities is approximately $975.70 per security, or within $15.00
of that estimate, and 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.
|
|
·
|
As
a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent
assets.
|
|
·
|
The
securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to risks
associated with small-capitalization companies.
|
|
·
|
Not
equivalent to investing in the underlying indices.
|
|
·
|
The
securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be
limited. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities for the entire 1.5-year
term of the securities.
|
|
·
|
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 original issue price reduce the economic
terms of the securities, cause the estimated value of the securities to be less than
the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices.
|
|
·
|
Hedging
and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially affect the value of the securities.
|
|
·
|
The
calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL,
will make determinations with respect to the securities.
|
|
·
|
Adjustments
to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the securities.
|
|
·
|
The
U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.
|
Tax Considerations
You should review carefully the discussion in the
accompanying preliminary terms under the caption “Additional Information About the Securities– Tax considerations”
concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, and you should consult your tax adviser.
