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 Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of the stated principal amount.
· You are exposed to the price risk of both underlying commodity shares.
· Because the Buffered PLUS are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying commodity shares, you are exposed to
greater risk of sustaining a loss on your investment than if the Buffered PLUS were linked to just one of the underlying commodity
shares.
· The market price of the Buffered PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.
· Single commodity prices tend to be more volatile than, and may not correlate with, the prices of commodities generally.
· The Buffered PLUS are subject to risks associated with gold.
· The Buffered PLUS are subject to risks associated with silver.
· There are risks relating to trading of commodities on the London Bullion Market Association.
· The Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS.
· As a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will have no independent assets.
· The estimated value of the Buffered PLUS is $987.60 per Buffered Security, or $15.00 within 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.
· The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying
commodity shares.
· The amount payable on the Buffered PLUS is not linked to the values of the underlying commodity shares at any time other than the
valuation date.
· Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in commodity and related futures markets could adversely affect the price of the Buffered
PLUS.
· Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying commodity shares or in the commodities composing
the underlying commodity shares.
· The performance and market price of any of the underlying commodity shares, particularly during periods of market volatility, may
not correlate with the performance of its underlying commodity or the net asset value per share of such underlying commodity shares.
· 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 Buffered PLUS in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the Buffered PLUS,
cause the estimated value of the Buffered PLUS to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market
prices.
· The Buffered PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.
· Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS.
· The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect
to the Buffered PLUS.
· The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS are uncertain.
Tax Considerations
You should review carefully the discussion in the accompanying
preliminary terms under the caption “Additional Information About the Buffered PLUS– Tax considerations” concerning
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, and you should consult your tax adviser.
