As further described below, interest wil accrue monthly on the notes at a rate of (i) Year 1: 9.00% per annum and (ii) Years 2 to maturity: 9.00% per annum for
each day that (A) the 30-Year Constant Maturity Swap Rate ("30CMS") is greater than or equal to the 2-Year Constant Maturity Swap Rate ("2CMS") and (B)
the closing level of the S&P 500® Index is greater than or equal to 850. The notes provide investors with the opportunity to earn interest at a higher rate in
exchange for taking the risk of receiving no interest with respect to any day on which long-term interest rates, as measured by 30CMS, are less than
short-term interest rates, as measured by 2CMS, or on which the underlying equity index level is below the index reference level. Al payments on the notes,
including the repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.

Senior Fixed to Floating Rate Notes due September 15, 2031
CMS Curve and S&P 500® Index Linked Range Accrual Notes

The notes are debt securities of Morgan Stanley. Interest on the notes during the floating interest rate period wil accrue
for each day that 30CMS is greater than or equal to 2CMS and the closing level of the S&P 500® Index is greater than or
equal to 850. We describe the basic features of these notes in the sections of the accompanying prospectus cal ed
"Description of Debt Securities--Floating Rate Debt Securities" and prospectus supplement cal ed "Description of Notes,"
subject to and as modified by the provisions described below. Al payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of
Morgan Stanley.

The stated principal amount of each note is $1,000, and the issue price is variable. The issue price of the notes includes the
agent's commissions paid with respect to the notes as wel as the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. The
cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks
inherent in managing the hedging transactions. This cost of hedging could be significant due to the term of the notes and
the tailored exposure provided by the notes. The secondary market price, if any, at which MS & Co. is wil ing to purchase
the notes, is expected to be affected adversely by the inclusion of these commissions and hedging costs in the issue
price. In addition, the secondary market price may be lower due to the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions
at the time of the secondary market transaction. See "Risk Factors--Market Risk--The inclusion of commissions and
projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices."

CMS Reference Index

What are the 30-Year and 2-Year Constant Maturity Swap Rates?

The 30-Year Constant Maturity Swap Rate (which we refer to as "30CMS") is, on any day, the fixed rate of interest
payable on an interest rate swap with a 30-year maturity as reported on Reuters Page ISDAFIX1 or any successor page
thereto at 11:00 a.m. New York City time on that day; provided that for the determination of 30CMS on any calendar day,
the "interest determination date" shall be that calendar day unless that calendar day is not a U.S. government securities
business day, in which case the 30CMS level shall be the 30CMS level on the immediately preceding U.S. government
securities business day. This rate is one of the market-accepted indicators of longer-term interest rates.

The 2-Year Constant Maturity Swap Rate (which we refer to as "2CMS") is, on any day, the fixed rate of interest payable
on an interest rate swap with a 2-year maturity as reported on Reuters Page ISDAFIX1 or any successor page thereto at
11:00 a.m. New York City time on that day; provided that for the determination of 2CMS on any calendar day, the "interest
determination date" shall be that calendar day unless that calendar day is not a U.S. government securities business day, in
which case the 2CMS level shall be the 2CMS level on the immediately preceding U.S. government securities business day.
This rate is one of the market-accepted indicators of shorter-term interest rates.

An interest rate swap rate, at any given time, general y indicates the fixed rate of interest (paid semi-annual y) that a
counterparty in the swaps market would have to pay for a given maturity, in order to receive a floating rate (paid quarterly)
equal to 3-month LIBOR for that same maturity.

The level of the CMS reference index for any day from and including the third U.S. government securities business day prior
to the related interest payment date for any interest payment period shal be the level of the CMS reference index in effect
on such third U.S. government securities business day prior to such interest payment date.

CMS Rate Fallback Provisions

If 30CMS or 2CMS is not displayed by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Reuters Screen ISDAFIX1 Page on any day
on which the level of the CMS reference index must be determined, the rate for such day wil be determined on the basis of
the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations to the calculation agent provided by five leading swap dealers in the New
York City interbank market (the "Reference Banks") at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day, and, for
this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed
leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dol ar interest rate swap transaction with a term
equal to the applicable 30 year or 2 year maturity commencing on such day and in a representative amount with an
acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count
basis, is equivalent to USD-LIBOR-BBA with a designated maturity of three months. The calculation agent wil request the
principal New York City office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least three quotations
are provided, the rate for that day wil be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the
event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). If fewer than
three quotations are provided as requested, the rate wil be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and in a
commercially reasonable manner.

The S&P 500® Index

The S&P 500® Index (the "index" or the "S&P 500 Index"), which is calculated, maintained and published by Standard &
Poor's Financial Services LLC ("S&P" or the "index publisher"), consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a
performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. The calculation of the index is based on the relative value of the float
adjusted aggregate market capitalization of the 500 component companies as of a particular time as compared to the
aggregate average market capitalization of the 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through
1943. The index is described under "Annex A--The S&P 500® Index" herein.

Index Closing Value Fallback Provisions

The index closing value on any calendar day beginning September 15, 2012, on which the index level is to be determined
(each, an "index determination date") wil equal the official closing value of the index as published by the index publisher or
its successor, or in the case of any successor index, the official closing value for any such successor index as published by
the publisher of such successor index or its successor, at the regular weekday close of trading on that calendar day, as
determined by the calculation agent; provided that the index closing value for any day from and including the third index
business day prior to the related interest payment date for any interest payment period shall be the index closing value in
effect on such third index business day prior to such interest payment date; provided further that if a market disruption
event with respect to the index occurs on any index determination date or if any such index determination date is not an
index business day, the closing value of the index for such index determination date wil be the closing value of the index on
the immediately preceding index business day on which no market disruption event has occurred. In certain circumstances,
the index closing value shal be based on the alternate calculation of the index described under "Annex A--The S&P 500®
Index--Discontinuance of the S&P 500 Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation."

"Index business day" means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which trading is general y conducted on each
of the relevant exchange(s) for the index, other than a day on which trading on such exchange(s) is scheduled to close prior
to the time of the posting of its regular final weekday closing price.

"Relevant exchange" means the primary exchange(s) or market(s) of trading for (i) any security then included in the index,
or any successor index, and (i ) any futures or options contracts related to the index or to any security then included in the
index.

alteration of the method of calculation, see "Annex A--The S&P 500® Index--Market Disruption Event" and

CMS Curve and S&P 500® Index Linked Range Accrual Notes

The table below presents examples of hypothetical interest rates at which interest would accrue on the notes during any
month in the floating interest rate period based on the total number of calendar days in a monthly interest payment period
on which the level of the CMS reference index is greater than or equal to the CMS reference index strike and the index
closing value is greater than or equal to the index reference level. The table assumes that the interest payment period
contains 30 calendar days and an interest rate of 9.00% per annum.

The example below is for purposes of il ustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were
made. The actual monthly interest payments wil depend on the actual number of calendar days in each interest payment
period and the actual level of the CMS reference index and index closing value on each day. The applicable interest rate
for each monthly interest payment period wil be determined on a per-annum basis but wil apply only to that interest
payment period.
