Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the SPDR® Dow Jones® Industrial AverageSM ETF Trust, the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF and the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust due December 3, 2025
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 price of each of the underlying shares on the valuation date. If the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to 80% of its respective initial share price, 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 $77.50 per security. However, if the final share price of any of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold value, you will be exposed to the decline in the price of the worst performing underlying shares 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 shares, a decline in any final share price below 80% of its respective initial share price will result in a loss on your investment, even if the other underlying shares have appreciated or have not declined as much. The securities are for investors who seek an equity-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of three underlying shares 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 shares. 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 of the underlying shares reference asset or assets.

Investment Summary
Principal at Risk Securities
The Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the SPDR® Dow Jones® Industrial AverageSM ETF Trust, the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF and the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust due December 3, 2025 (the “securities”) can be used:
■As an alternative to direct exposure to the underlying shares that provides a fixed return of 7.75% if the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value;
■To enhance returns and potentially outperform the worst performing of the SPDR® Dow Jones® Industrial AverageSM ETF Trust, the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF and the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust in a moderately bullish or moderately bearish scenario; and
■To obtain a buffer against a specified level of negative performance in the worst performing underlying shares.
The securities are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the percentage decline of the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares from its respective initial share price beyond the buffer amount of 20%. Accordingly, 80% of your principal is at risk.
Maturity: | Approximately 13 months |
Upside payment: | $77.50 per security (7.75% of the stated principal amount), payable only if the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value. |
Buffer amount: | 20% |
Minimum payment at maturity: | $200 per security. You could lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities. |
Interest: | None |
The original issue price 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. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date will be approximately $986.60, or within $25.00 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.
What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?
In valuing the securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the underlying shares. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying shares, instruments based on the underlying shares, 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 securities?
In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the upside payment, the buffer amount and the downside threshold values, 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 securities would be more favorable to you.

Principal at Risk Securities
What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities?
The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying shares, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing 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 securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying shares, 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 securities, and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing so at any time.

Principal at Risk Securities
Key Investment Rationale
The securities provide a return based on the performance of the worst performing of the SPDR® Dow Jones® Industrial AverageSM ETF Trust, the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF and the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust. If the final share price of each of the underlying shares, as determined on the valuation date, is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security that you hold at maturity plus the upside payment of $77.50 per security. However, if the final share price of any of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold value, the payment due at maturity will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the securities. You could lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities.
Upside Scenario | If the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, the payment at maturity for each security will be equal to $1,000 plus the upside payment of $77.50. |
Downside Scenario | If the final share price of any of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold value, you will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying shares from its respective initial share price beyond the buffer amount of 20% (e.g., a 50% depreciation in the worst performing underlying shares from the respective initial share price to the respective final share price will result in a payment at maturity of $700 per security).
Because the payment at maturity of the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying shares, a decline in any of the underlying shares below its respective downside threshold value will result in a loss on your investment, even if the other underlying shares have appreciated or have not declined as much. You could lose up to 80% of your investment. |

Hypothetical Examples
The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity on the securities. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. The payment at maturity on the securities is subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the following terms. The actual initial share prices and downside threshold values are set forth on the cover of this document.
Stated Principal Amount: | $1,000 per security |
Hypothetical Initial Share Price: | With respect to the DIA Shares: $350.00 With respect to the IWM Shares: $200.00 With respect to the SPY Shares: $450.00 |
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Value: | With respect to the DIA Shares: $280.00, which is 80% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the IWM Shares: $160.00, which is 80% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the SPY Shares: $360.00, which is 80% of its hypothetical initial share price |
Upside Payment: | $77.50 (7.75% of the stated principal amount) |
Buffer Amount: | 20% |
Minimum Payment at Maturity: | $200 per security |
Interest: | None |
EXAMPLE 1: Each of the underlying shares appreciates substantially, and investors therefore receive the stated principal amount plus the upside payment.
Final share price |
| DIA Shares: $647.50 IWM Shares: $360.00 | |
|
| SPY Shares: $855.00 | |
Percent change |
| DIA Shares: ($647.50 – $350.00) / $350.00 = 85% IWM Shares: ($360.00 – $200.00) / $200.00 = 80% SPY Shares: ($855.00 – $450.00) / $450.00 = 90% | |
Payment at maturity | = | $1,000 + upside payment | |
| = | $1,000 + $77.50 | |
| = | $1,077.50 |
In example 1, the final share price for the DIA Shares has increased from its initial share price by 85%, the final share price for the IWM Shares has increased from its initial share price by 80% and the final share price for the SPY Shares has increased from its initial share price by 90%. Because the final share price of each of the underlying shares is above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the upside payment of $77.50 per security. Investors receive $1,077.50 per security at maturity and do not participate in the appreciation of any of the underlying shares. Although each of the underlying shares has appreciated substantially, the return on the securities is limited to the upside payment of $77.50 per security.
EXAMPLE 2: The final share price of each of the underlying shares is at or above the respective downside threshold value, and investors therefore receive the stated principal amount plus the upside payment.
Final share price |
| DIA Shares: $336.00 IWM Shares: $194.00 | |
|
| SPY Shares: $441.00 |

Principal at Risk Securities
Percent change |
| DIA Shares: ($336.00 – $350.00) / $350.00 = -4% IWM Shares: ($194.00 – $200.00) / $200.00 = -3% SPY Shares: ($441.00 – $450.00) / $450.00 = -2% | |
Payment at maturity | = | $1,000 + upside payment | |
| = | $1,000 + $77.50 | |
| = | $1,077.50 |
In example 2, the final share price for the DIA Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 4%, the final share price for the IWM Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 3% and the final share price for the SPY Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 2%. Because the final share price of each of the underlying shares is above its respective downside threshold value, investors receive at maturity the stated principal amount plus the upside payment of $77.50 per security. Although each of the underlying shares has depreciated, investors receive $1,077.50 per security at maturity.
EXAMPLE 3: The final share price of one of the underlying shares is less than its respective downside threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying shares, and lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond the buffer amount of 20%.
Final share price |
| DIA Shares: $490.00 IWM Shares: $240.00 | |
|
| SPY Shares: $225.00 | |
Percent change |
| DIA Shares: ($490.00 – $350.00) / $350.00 = 40% IWM Shares: ($240.00 – $200.00) / $200.00 = 20% SPY Shares: ($225.00 – $450.00) / $450.00 = -50% | |
Payment at maturity | = | $1,000 + [$1,000 × (share percent change of the worst performing underlying shares + 20%)] | |
| = | $1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50% + 20%)] | |
| = | $700 |
In example 3, the final share price for the DIA Shares has increased from its initial share price by 40%, the final share price for the IWM Shares has increased from its initial share price by 20% and the final share price for the SPY Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 50%. Because one of the underlying shares has declined below its respective downside threshold value, investors do not receive the upside payment and are exposed to the negative performance of the SPY Shares, which is the worst performing underlying shares in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying shares beyond the buffer amount of 20%. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $700 per security, resulting in a loss of 30%.
EXAMPLE 4: The final share price of each of the underlying shares is less than the respective downside threshold value. Investors are therefore exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying shares, and will lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond the buffer amount of 20%.
Final share price |
| DIA Shares: $105.00 IWM Shares: $30.00 | |
|
| SPY Shares: $180.00 | |
Percent change |
| DIA Shares: ($105.00 – $350.00) / $350.00 = -70% IWM Shares: ($30.00 – $200.00) / $200.00 = -85% SPY Shares: ($180.00 – $450.00) / $450.00 = -60% | |
Payment at maturity | = | $1,000 + [$1,000 × (share percent change of the worst performing underlying shares + 20%)] | |
| = | $1,000 + [$1,000 × (-85% + 20%)] |

| = | $350 |
In example 4, the final share price for the DIA Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 70%, the final share price for the IWM Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 85% and the final share price for the SPY Shares has decreased from its initial share price by 60%. Because one or more underlying shares have declined below their respective downside threshold values, investors do not receive the upside payment and are exposed to the negative performance of the IWM Shares, which is the worst performing underlying shares in this example. Under these circumstances, investors lose 1% for every 1% decline in the value of the worst performing underlying shares beyond the buffer amount of 20%. In this example, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to $350 per security, resulting in a loss of 65%.
Because the payment at maturity of the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlying shares, a decline in the final share price of any of the underlying shares to below its respective downside threshold value will result in a loss of some or a significant portion of your investment, even if the other underlying shares have appreciated or have not declined as much. You could lose up to 80% of your investment in the securities.

Risk Factors
This section describes the material risks relating to the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement, index supplement and prospectus. You should also consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.
Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities
■The securities do not pay interest and provide for the minimum payment at maturity of only 20% of your principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not pay interest and provide for the minimum return of only 20% of the principal amount at maturity. At maturity, you will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of securities that you hold an amount in cash based upon the final share price of each of the underlying shares. If the final share price of any of the underlying shares is less than 80% of its respective initial share price, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% decline in the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares beyond the buffer amount of 20%. You could lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities.
■Appreciation potential is fixed and limited. Where the final share price of each of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value, the appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed upside payment of $77.50 per security (7.75% of the stated principal amount), even if all three underlying shares have appreciated substantially.
■The amount payable on the securities is not linked to the share prices of the underlying shares at any time other than the valuation date. The final share price of each of the underlying shares will be based on the closing price of such underlying shares on the valuation date, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events. Even if the share price of the worst performing underlying shares appreciates prior to the valuation date but then drops by the valuation date, the payment at maturity may be significantly less than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the share price of the worst performing underlying shares prior to such drop. Although the actual share price of the worst performing underlying shares on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the securities may be higher than its respective final share price, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares on the valuation date.
■The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which we refer to as MS & Co., may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities 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 securities, 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 securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Since other broker-dealers may not participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities 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 securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity.
■The market price of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market, including:
■the values of the underlying shares at any time (including in relation to their respective initial share prices),

Principal at Risk Securities
■the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of each of the underlying shares and of the stocks composing the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index (the “share underlying indices”),
■dividend rates on the securities underlying the share underlying indices,
■interest and yield rates in the market,
■geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the component stocks of the underlying shares or securities markets generally and which may affect the share prices of the underlying shares,
■the time remaining until the maturity of the securities,
■the composition of the underlying shares and changes in the constituent stocks of the share underlying indices,
■the occurrence of certain events affecting the underlying shares that may or may not require an adjustment to an adjustment factor, and
■any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.
Some or all of these factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. In particular, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if at the time of sale the value of any of the underlying shares is near, at or below its respective downside threshold value.
You cannot predict the future performance of any of the underlying shares based on their historical performance. If the final share price of any of the underlying shares is less than 80% of its respective initial share price, you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the decline in the final share price of the worst performing underlying shares beyond the buffer amount. There can be no assurance that the final share price of each of the underlying shares will be greater than or equal to 80% of its respective initial share price so that you will receive at maturity an amount that is greater than the $1,000 stated principal amount for each security you hold, or that you will not lose some or a significant portion of your investment.
■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. You are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the securities at maturity and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations under the securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. As a result, the market value of the securities 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 securities.
■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 MSFL securities if they make claims in respect of such securities 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 securities issued by MSFL should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would 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 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. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the prices, if any, at which dealers, including MS & Co., are willing to purchase the securities 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 securities in the original issue price and the lower rate we are willing to pay as issuer make the economic terms of the securities less favorable to you than they otherwise would be.
However, because the costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying shares, 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 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. 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 securities than those generated by others, including other dealers in the market, if they attempted to value the securities. In addition, the estimated value on the pricing date does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which dealers, including MS & Co., would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The value of your securities at any time after the date of this document 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 of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.
■Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or the stocks composing the share underlying indices. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any of the underlying shares, the share underlying indices or the stocks that constitute the share underlying indices. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks that constitute the share underlying indices.
■The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the securities. As calculation agent, MS & Co. will determine the initial share prices, the downside threshold values, the final share prices, the share percent changes, if applicable, the payment that you will receive at maturity and whether to make any adjustments to an adjustment factor. 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 index closing value or the closing price, as applicable, of any of the underlying shares in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of any of the underlying shares. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of Securities—Market Disruption Event,” “—Postponement of Valuation Date(s),” “—Antidilution Adjustments for Securities linked to Exchange-Traded Funds,” “—Discontinuance of Any ETF Shares and/or Share Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation,” “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default” and “—Calculation Agent and Calculations” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.
■Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities. One or more of our affiliates and/or third-party dealers expect to carry out hedging activities related to the securities (and to other instruments linked to the underlying shares or the share underlying indices), including

Principal at Risk Securities
trading in the underlying shares, the stocks that constitute the share underlying indices as well as in other instruments related to the underlying shares or the share underlying indices. As a result, these entities may be unwinding or adjusting hedge positions during the term of the securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the underlying shares and the stocks that constitute the share underlying indices and other financial instruments related to the share underlying indices 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 October 28, 2024 could potentially increase the initial share price of any of the underlying shares, and, therefore, could increase the price at or above which such underlying shares must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the closing price of any of the underlying shares, and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares).
■The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. Please read the discussion under “Additional Information—Tax considerations” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities (together, the “Tax Disclosure Sections”) concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. As discussed in the Tax Disclosure Sections, there is a risk that the “constructive ownership” rule could apply, in which case all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder could be recharacterized as ordinary income and an interest charge could be imposed. In addition, there is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, 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 securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment of a security 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 securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, 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. For example, there is a risk (which, depending on the market conditions on the pricing date, could be substantial) that the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, 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 securities, 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 Underlying Shares
■You are exposed to the price risk of each of the underlying shares. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of each of the underlying shares. Rather, it will be based upon the independent performance of each of the underlying shares. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each of the underlying shares. Poor performance by any of the underlying shares over the term of the securities will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlying shares. If the final share price of any of the underlying shares declines to below 80% of its respective initial share price, you will be exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying shares at maturity, even if the other underlying shares have appreciated or have not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of each of the underlying shares.
■Because the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying shares, you are exposed to greater risk of sustaining a loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one of the underlying shares. The risk that you will suffer a loss on your investment is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one of the underlying shares. With three underlying shares, it is more likely that the final share price of any of the underlying

Principal at Risk Securities
shares will decline to below its respective downside threshold value than if the securities were linked to only one of the underlying shares. Therefore, it is more likely that you will suffer a loss on your investment.
■The securities are linked to the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. As the iShares® Russell 2000® ETF is one of the underlying shares, and the Russell 2000® ETF tracks the performance of stocks issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization, the securities are linked to the value of small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® ETF may be more volatile than indices that consist of stocks issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.
■Adjustments to the underlying shares or the indices tracked by the underlying shares could adversely affect the value of the securities. The investment advisor to each of the underlying shares seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the relevant share underlying index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the investment advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the respective underlying shares. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the respective underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. The publisher of the underlying shares is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying indices. It may add, delete or substitute the securities constituting the share underlying indices or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the share underlying indices, and, consequently, the price of the underlying shares and the value of the securities. The publisher of the share underlying indices may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of a share underlying index 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 share underlying index and will be permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.
■The performance and market price of any of the underlying shares, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the performance of its respective share underlying index, the performance of the component securities of such share underlying index or the net asset value per share of such underlying shares. The underlying shares do not fully replicate their respective share underlying indices, and each may hold securities that are different than those included in its respective share underlying index. In addition, the performance of each of the underlying shares will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the share underlying indices. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of each of the underlying shares and its respective share underlying index. In addition, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs) with respect to the equity securities underlying each of the underlying shares may impact the variance between the performance of each of the underlying shares and its respective share underlying index. Finally, because the shares of each of the underlying shares are traded on an exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market price of one share of each of the underlying shares may differ from the net asset value per share of such underlying shares.
In particular, during periods of market volatility, or unusual trading activity, trading in the securities underlying each of the underlying shares may be disrupted or limited, or such securities may be unavailable in the secondary market. Under these circumstances, the liquidity of each underlying shares may be adversely affected, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of each of the underlying shares, and their ability to create and redeem shares of each of the underlying shares may be disrupted. Under these circumstances, the market price of shares of each of the underlying shares may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of each underlying shares or the level of its respective share underlying index.

Principal at Risk Securities
For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of each of the underlying shares may not correlate with the performance of its respective share underlying index, the performance of the component securities of such share underlying index or the net asset value per share of such underlying shares. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect the prices of each of the underlying shares and, therefore, the value of the securities. Additionally, if market volatility or these events were to occur on the relevant date of calculation, the calculation agent would maintain discretion to determine whether such market volatility or events have caused a market disruption event to occur, and such determination would affect the payment at maturity of the securities. If the calculation agent determines that no market disruption event has taken place, the payment at maturity would be based on the published closing price per share of each of the underlying shares on the valuation date, even if any of the underlying shares is underperforming its respective share underlying index or the component securities of such share underlying index and/or trading below the net asset value per share of such underlying shares.
■The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that can affect any of the underlying shares. MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for any of the underlying shares for certain events affecting such underlying shares, such as stock splits and stock dividends. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event or every distribution that could affect any of the underlying shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the relevant adjustment factor, the market price of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. The determination by the calculation agent to adjust, or not to adjust, an adjustment factor may materially and adversely affect the value of the securities.

Additional Information About the Securities
Additional Information: | |
Minimum ticketing size: | $1,000 / 1 security |
Tax considerations: | There is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority. Our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, is unable to render a definitive opinion on the tax treatment of the securities at this time as such opinion is dependent in part upon market conditions on the pricing date. Our counsel’s opinion will therefore be provided only on the pricing date. However, under current law, and based on current market conditions, our counsel believes that it is at least reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, 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 securities prior to settlement, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange. ■Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, 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 securities. Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule, such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the securities for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. There is a risk that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may seek to treat all or a portion of the gain on the securities as ordinary income. For example, there is a risk (which, depending on the market conditions on the pricing date, could be substantial) that the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of issuance and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. Even if the treatment of the securities as “open transactions” is respected, because the securities are linked to shares of exchange-traded funds, although the matter is not clear, there is a risk that an investment in the securities will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” under Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If this treatment applies, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain of the U.S. Holder in respect of the securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income (in which case an interest charge will be imposed). As a result of certain features of the securities, including the fact that the securities are linked to more than one exchange-traded fund, it is unclear how to calculate the amount of gain that would be recharacterized if an investment in the securities were treated as a constructive ownership transaction. Due to the lack of governing authority, our counsel is unable to opine as to whether or how Section 1260 of the Code applies to the securities. U.S. investors should read the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Possible Application of Section 1260 of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities for additional information and consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. As discussed in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, Section 871(m) of the Code 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 the terms of the securities and current market conditions, we expect that the securities will not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security on the pricing date. However, we will provide an updated |

determination in the final pricing supplement. Assuming that the securities do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security, our counsel is of the opinion that the securities 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 securities. Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the securities should read the discussion under “Risk Factors” in this document and the discussion under “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership rule, 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 for Jump Securities, 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 securities. | |

Use of proceeds and hedging: | The proceeds from the sale of the securities will be used by us for general corporate purposes. We will receive, in aggregate, $1,000 per security issued, because, when we enter into hedging transactions in order to meet our obligations under the securities, our hedging counterparty will reimburse the cost of the agent’s commissions. The costs of the securities borne by you and described beginning on page 2 above comprise the agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities. On or prior to October 28, 2024, we expect to hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by entering into hedging transactions with our affiliates and/or third-party dealers. We expect our hedging counterparties to take positions in the underlying shares or any component stocks of the share underlying indices and in futures and options contracts on the underlying shares and any component stocks of the underlying shares listed on major securities markets. Such purchase activity could potentially increase the initial share price of any of the underlying shares, and, therefore, could increase the share price at or above which such underlying shares must close on the valuation date so that you do not suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares). In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the securities, including on the valuation date, by purchasing and selling the underlying shares, futures or options contracts on the underlying shares 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 securities, and the hedging strategy may involve greater and more frequent dynamic adjustments to the hedge as the valuation date approaches. We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activities will not affect the value of any of the underlying shares, and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the securities or the payment you will receive at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlying shares). 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 securities, either directly or indirectly. |
Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest: | MS & Co. expects to sell all of the securities that it purchases from us to an unaffiliated dealer at a price of $ per security, for further sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts at the price to public of $1,000 per security. MS & Co. will not receive a sales commission with respect to the securities. 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 securities. When MS & Co. prices this offering of securities, it will determine the economic terms of the securities, including the upside payment, such that for each security the estimated value on the pricing date will be no lower than the minimum level described in “Investment Summary” on page 2. 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 securities 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.
