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 and prospectus, as
supplemented or modified by this document. The securities do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the
regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but only if the determination closing
price of the underlying stock is a t or a bove the downside threshold level of 55% of the initial share price on the related
observation date. If, however, the determination closing price is le ss t ha n the downside threshold level on any observation date,
we will pay no interest for the related quarterly period. In addition, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the determination
closing price is gre a t e r t ha n or e qua l t o the initial share price on any quarterly redemption determination date (beginning six
months after the original issue date) for the early redemption payment equal to the sum of the stated principal amount plus the
related contingent quarterly coupon. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share price is
gre a t e r t ha n or e qua l t o the downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the stated principal amount and the
related contingent quarterly coupon. If, however, the final share price is le ss t ha n the downside threshold level, investors will be
fully exposed to the decline in the underlying stock on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 55%
of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Ac c ordingly, inve st ors in t he se c urit ie s m ust be

The securities are not subject to automatic early redemption until six months after the original issue

payment on the related early redemption date. No further payments will be made on the securities once
they have been redeemed.

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due June 2, 2023, with 6-month Initial Non-Call Period Based on the Performance of
the Common Stock of Bank of America Corporation (the "securities") do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the
securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but only if the determination closing price of the underlying stock is a t or
a bove 55% of the initial share price, which we refer to as the downside threshold level, on the related observation date. If the
determination closing price is le ss t ha n the downside threshold level on any observation date, we will pay no coupon for the
related quarterly period. It is possible that the determination closing price could remain below the downside threshold level for
extended periods of time or even throughout the entire 3-year term of the securities so that you will receive few or no contingent
quarterly coupons during the entire term of the securities. We refer to these coupons as contingent, because there is no guarantee
that you will receive a coupon payment on any coupon payment date. Even if the underlying stock were to be at or above the
downside threshold level on some quarterly observation dates, it may fluctuate below the downside threshold level on others. In
addition, if the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity and the final share price is be low the downside
threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline in the underlying stock on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment
at maturity that is less than 55% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Ac c ordingly, inve st ors in

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 is less
than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $974.10.

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 stock. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own
pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying stock, instruments based on the

underlying stock, 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 contingent quarterly coupon rate and the downside threshold
level, 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.

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 stock, 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 stock, 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.

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but
only if the determination closing price of the underlying stock is a t or a bove the downside threshold level on the related
observation date. The securities have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates and accept
the risk of receiving no coupon payments for the entire 3-year term of the securities in exchange for an opportunity to earn interest
at a potentially above-market rate if the underlying stock closes at or above the downside threshold level on each quarterly
observation date until the securities are redeemed early or reach maturity. The following scenarios are for illustrative purposes only
to demonstrate how the coupon and the payment at maturity (if the securities have not previously been redeemed) are calculated,
and do not attempt to demonstrate every situation that may occur. Accordingly, the securities may or may not be redeemed, the
contingent coupon may be payable in none of, or some but not all of, the quarterly periods during the 3-year term of the securities
and the payment at maturity may be less than 55% of the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010320010366/dp128959_424b2-ps4161.htm[5/29/2020 8:30:41 AM]


Sc e na rio 1 : T he se c urit ie s
This scenario assumes that, prior to early redemption, the underlying stock closes at or above
a re re de e m e d prior t o
the downside threshold level on some quarterly observation dates but below the downside
m a t urit y
threshold level on the others. Investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the
quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is at or above the downside
threshold level on the related observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which the
determination closing price is below the downside threshold level on the related observation
date.
When the underlying stock closes at or above the initial share price on a quarterly redemption
determination date (beginning approximately six months after the original issue date), the
securities will be automatically redeemed for the stated principal amount plus the contingent
quarterly coupon with respect to the related observation date.
Sc e na rio 2 : T he se c urit ie s
This scenario assumes that the underlying stock closes at or above the downside threshold
a re not re de e m e d prior t o
level on some quarterly observation dates but below the downside threshold level on the
m a t urit y, a nd inve st ors
others, and the underlying stock closes below the initial share price on every quarterly
re c e ive princ ipa l ba c k a t
redemption determination date. Consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed,
m a t urit y
and investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the quarterly periods for which the
determination closing price is at or above the downside threshold level on the related
observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is
below the downside threshold level on the related observation date. On the final observation
date, the underlying stock closes at or above the downside threshold level. At maturity,
investors will receive the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly coupon with
respect to the final observation date.
Sc e na rio 3 : T he se c urit ie s
This scenario assumes that the underlying stock closes at or above the downside threshold
a re not re de e m e d prior t o
level on some quarterly observation dates and below the downside threshold level on the
m a t urit y, a nd inve st ors
others, and the underlying stock closes below the initial share price on every quarterly
suffe r a subst a nt ia l loss of
redemption determination date. Consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed,
princ ipa l a t m a t urit y
and investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the quarterly periods for which the
determination closing price is at or above the downside threshold level on the related
observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is
below the downside threshold level on the related observation date. On the final observation
date, the underlying stock closes below the downside threshold level. At maturity, investors
will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share
performance factor. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than
55% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. No coupon will be paid at maturity in
this scenario.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to determine whether a contingent quarterly coupon is paid with respect to an
observation date and how to calculate the payment at maturity if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early. The
following examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether you receive a contingent quarterly coupon will be determined by
reference to the determination closing price on each quarterly observation date, whether the securities are redeemed prior to
maturity will be determined by reference to the determination closing price on each quarterly redemption determination date
(beginning after six months), and the payment at maturity will be determined by reference to the determination closing price on the
final observation date. The actual initial share price and downside threshold level are set forth on the cover of this document. All
payments on the securities, if any, are subject to our credit risk. The numbers in the hypothetical examples below may have been
rounded for the ease of analysis. The below examples are based on the following terms:

Hypothetical Initial Share Price: $30.00
Hypothetical Downside
$16.50, which is 55% of the hypothetical initial share price
Threshold Level:
Contingent Quarterly Coupon:
11.75% per annum (corresponding to approximately $29.375 per quarter per security)1

Automatic Early Redemption:
If the determination closing price is greater than or equal to the initial share price on any quarterly
early redemption determination date (beginning approximately six months after the original issue
date), the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment equal to the
stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the related
observation date.

ease of analysis.

In Example 1, the determination closing price of the underlying stock is greater than or equal to the initial share price on one of the
quarterly redemption determination dates (beginning on November 27, 2020). Because the determination closing price is greater
than or equal to the initial share price on such a date, the securities are automatically redeemed on the related early redemption
date. In Examples 2, 3 and 4, the determination closing price is less than the initial share price on all of the redemption
determination dates, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until,
maturity.

Ex a m ple 1 --The securities are automatically redeemed following the quarterly redemption determination date in February 2022
as the determination closing price is greater than or equal to the initial share price on such redemption determination date. The
underlying stock declines substantially and the determination closing price is at or above the downside threshold level on only 3 of
the 6 quarterly observation dates prior to (and excluding) the observation date immediately preceding the early redemption.
Therefore, you would receive the contingent quarterly coupons with respect to those 3 observation dates, totaling $29.375 × 3 =
$88.125, but not for the other 3 observation dates. The underlying stock in this example, however, recovers, and the determination
closing price is equal to the initial share price on the redemption determination date in February 2022. Upon early redemption,
investors receive the early redemption payment calculated as $1,000 + $29.375 = $1,029.375.

The total payment over the 1.75-year term of the securities is $88.125 + $1,029.375 = $1,117.50

Ex a m ple 2 --The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, as the determination closing price is less than the initial share
price on all quarterly redemption determination dates. The determination closing price is at or above the downside threshold level
on all 11 quarterly observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date, and the final share price is also at or above
the downside threshold level. Therefore, you would receive (i) the contingent quarterly coupons

with respect to the 11 observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date, totaling $29.375 × 11 = $323.125, and
(ii) the payment at maturity calculated as $1,000.00 + $29.375 = $1,029.375.

The total payment over the 3-year term of the securities is $323.125 + $1,029.375 = $1,352.50.

This example illustrates the scenario where you receive a contingent quarterly coupon on every coupon payment date throughout
the term of the securities and receive your principal back at maturity, resulting in an annual interest rate of 11.75% over the 3-year
term of the securities. This example, therefore, represents the maximum amount payable over the 3-year term of the securities. To
the extent that coupons are not paid on every coupon payment date, the effective rate of interest on the securities will be less than
11.75% per annum and could be zero.

Ex a m ple 3 --The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, as the determination closing price is less than the initial share
price on all quarterly redemption determination dates. The determination closing price is at or above the downside threshold level
on 2 out of the 11 quarterly observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date. The final share price is $50.00,
which is above the downside threshold level. In this scenario, you receive a payment at maturity equal to the stated principal
amount and the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the final observation date. Therefore, you would receive (i) the
contingent quarterly coupons with respect to those 2 observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date, totaling
$29.375 × 2 = $58.75, but not for the other 9 observation dates, and (ii) the payment at maturity calculated as $1,000.00 + $29.375
= $1,029.375.

The total payment over the 3-year term of the securities is $58.75 + $1,029.375 = $1,088.125.

Ex a m ple 4 --The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, as the determination closing price is less than the initial share
price on all quarterly redemption determination dates. The determination closing price is below the downside threshold level on all
of the quarterly observation dates, including the final observation date, on which the final share price is $12.00. Therefore, you
would receive no contingent quarterly coupons, and the payment at maturity would be calculated as $1,000.00 × $12.00 / $30.00 =
$400.

The total payment over the 3-year term of the securities is $0 + $400 = $400.

Risk Factors

The following is a list of certain key risk factors for investors in the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you
should read the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement and prospectus. We also urge you to
consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of
ordinary debt securities in that they do not guarantee the repayment of any principal. If the securities have not been
automatically redeemed prior to maturity and if the final share price is less than the downside threshold level of 55% of the
initial share price, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing price of the underlying stock, as compared to the initial
share price, on a 1-to-1 basis, and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity an amount equal to the stated
principal amount times the share performance factor. In this case, the payment at maturity will be less than 80% of the stated
principal amount and could be zero.

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. The terms of the securities differ from those of
ordinary debt securities in that they do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a
contingent quarterly coupon but only if the determination closing price of the underlying stock is a t or a bove 55% of the
initial share price, which we refer to as the downside threshold level, on the related observation date. If, on the other hand, the
determination closing price is lower than the downside threshold level on the relevant observation date for any interest period,
we will pay no coupon on the applicable coupon payment date. It is possible that the determination closing price will remain
below the downside threshold level for extended periods of time or even throughout the entire 3-year term of the securities so
that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly coupons. If you do not earn sufficient contingent quarterly coupons over the
term of the securities, the overall return on the securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional
debt security of ours of comparable maturity.

The contingent quarterly coupon, if any, is based on the determination closing price of the underlying
st oc k on only t he re la t e d qua rt e rly obse rva t ion da t e a t t he e nd of t he re la t e d int e re st pe riod. Whether the
contingent quarterly coupon will be paid on any coupon payment date will be determined at the end of the relevant interest
period based on the determination closing price of the underlying stock on the relevant quarterly observation date. As a result,
you will not know whether you will receive the contingent quarterly coupon on any coupon payment date until near the end of
the relevant interest period. Moreover, because the contingent quarterly coupon is based solely on the value of the underlying
stock on quarterly observation dates, if the determination closing price of the underlying stock on any observation date is below
the downside threshold level, you will receive no coupon for the related interest period, even if the level of the underlying stock
was at or above the downside threshold level on other days during that interest period.

Investors w ill not participate in any appreciation in the price of the underlying stock. Investors will not
participate in any appreciation in the price of the underlying stock from the initial share price, and the return on the securities
will be limited to the contingent quarterly coupons, if any, that are paid with respect to each observation date on which the
determination closing price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level.

The market price w ill 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. We expect that generally the level of interest rates available in the
market and the value of the underlying stock on any day, including in relation to the downside threshold level, will affect the
value of the securities more than any other factors. Other factors that may influence the value of the securities include:
