MIFID II product governance / target market
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Program Securities may include a legend entitled "MiFID II
Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities
and which channels for distribution of the Program Securities are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Program Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration
the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its
own target market assessment in respect of the Program Securities (by either adopting or refining the target
market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any

Benchmarks Regulation

Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Program Securities may be calculated by reference to
certain reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of Regulation
(EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a
benchmark, the Pricing Supplement will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an
administrator included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the
European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators
and benchmarks) of the Benchmarks Regulation. Transitional provisions in the Benchmarks Regulation may
have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear in the register of
administrators and benchmarks at the date of the Pricing Supplement. The registration status of any
administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required by
applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the Pricing Supplement to reflect any change in the
registration status of the administrator.

Offering restrictions in the EEA

State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will

State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Program Securities. Accordingly, any
person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of Program Securities which are
the subject of an offering contemplated in this Offering Circular as completed by a Pricing Supplement in
relation to the offer of those Program Securities may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation
arises for the relevant Issuer or MSI plc, which may act in whole or in part through an affiliate thereof, and
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as distribution agents (the "Distribution Agents") to publish or supplement a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. None of the Issuers, the
Guarantor or the Distribution Agents has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of
iii



Program Securities in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer to publish a prospectus in
the EEA or in any other jurisdiction.

None of the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Distribution Agents consents to the use of this Offering Circular
(or any supplement thereto or any Pricing Supplement) by any financial intermediary or any other person for
the purpose of making a public offering of the Program Securities in the EEA, and none of the Issuers, the
Guarantor or the Distribution Agents accepts any responsibility for the content of this Offering Circular to
any person with respect to the making of a public offering of the Program Securities by any financial

offer. The Issuers, the Guarantor and the Distribution Agents agree and acknowledge that this Offering
Circular may only be used for the purposes for which it has been published, as described further herein.

Program Securities will be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Program borrowing limit

Notes outstanding and the aggregate issue price of the Warrants and Certificates outstanding and any other
notes, warrants and or certificates authorized for issuance pursuant to the Authorizing Resolutions (as
defined below), shall not at any one time exceed U.S.$55,000,000,000. The Program Securities were
authorised by Morgan Stanley pursuant to resolutions (the "Authorizing Resolutions") adopted at a meeting
of the Board of Directors of Morgan Stanley held on 25 September 1998, as amended and updated pursuant
to resolutions adopted at meetings of the Board of Directors of Morgan Stanley held on 17 June 2003, 14
December 2004, 20 September 2005, 12 December 2006, 19 June 2007, 17 September 2007 and 16 June

or the laws of England and Wales ("English Law Notes"), as specified in the applicable Pricing
Supplement. MSI plc, MSBV, MSFL and each Additional Issuer may issue English Law Notes, but
shall not issue New York Law Notes.
(ii)
The Warrants and Certificates will be governed by the laws of England and Wales. Morgan Stanley
may issue Certificates only and MSI plc, MSBV and MSFL may issue both Warrants and
Certificates.
Risk warning
The Program Securities may not be a suitable investment for all investors
An investment in the Program Securities entails certain risks, which vary depending on the specification and
type or structure of the Program Securities.
Each potential investor should determine whether an investment in the Program Securities is appropriate in
its particular circumstances. An investment in the Program Securities requires a thorough understanding of
the nature of the relevant transaction. Potential investors should be experienced with respect to an
investment in the Program Securities and be aware of the related risks.
An investment in the Program Securities is only suitable for potential investors who:
(i)
have the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits
and risks of an investment in the Program Securities and the information contained or incorporated
by reference into this document;
iv



(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate such merits and risks in
the context of the potential investor's particular financial situation and to evaluate the impact the
Program Securities will have on their overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Program Securities and are familiar with the behaviour of
the Relevant Underlying or Relevant Factor as applicable and financial markets;
(iv)
are capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Program Securities until the
maturity date of the Notes or exercise date of the Warrants or Certificates;
(v)
recognise that it may not be possible to dispose of the Program Securities for a substantial period of
time, if at all before the maturity date in respect of the English Law Notes and/or the New York
Notes or the specified expiration date in respect of the Warrants and Certificates; and
(vi)
are familiar with the behaviour of the Relevant Underlying or Relevant Factor, as applicable and
relevant financial markets and be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial and
legal advisor) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its
investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Program Securities are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do
not purchase complex financial instruments as standalone investments. They purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in the Program Securities unless it has
the expertise (either alone or with a financial and legal advisor) to evaluate how the Program Securities will
perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Program Securities and the
impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio. Each Issuer, and
the Distribution Agents, disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective investors of any matters arising
under the law of the country in which they reside that may affect the purchase of, or holding of, or the
receipt of payments or deliveries on the Program Securities.
Secured Overnight Financing Rate
As further described under "Risk Factors Relating to the Program Securities" below, the interest rate on the
Notes may, in certain circumstances, be determined by reference to either a Term SOFR or Compounded
SOFR (each as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes).
SOFR is published by the New York Federal Reserve and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of
borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. The New York Federal Reserve reports
that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate and bilateral Treasury repurchase
agreement (repo) transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation (the "FICC"), a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation
("DTCC"), and SOFR is filtered by the New York Federal Reserve to remove some (but not all) of the
foregoing transactions considered to be "specials". According to the New York Federal Reserve, "specials"
are repos for specific-issue collateral, which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general
collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a
particular security.
The New York Federal Reserve reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of
transaction-level triparty repo data collected from The Bank of New York Mellon as well as General
Collateral Finance Repo transaction data and data on bilateral Treasury repo transactions cleared through the
FICC's delivery-versus-payment service. The New York Federal Reserve also notes that it obtains
information from DTCC Solutions LLC, an affiliate of DTCC.
If data for a given market segment were unavailable for any day, then the most recently available data for
that segment would be utilized, with the rates on each transaction from that day adjusted to account for any
change in the level of market rates in that segment over the intervening period. SOFR would be calculated
from this adjusted prior day's data for segments where current data were unavailable, and unadjusted data
for any segments where data were available. To determine the change in the level of market rates over the
intervening period for the missing market segment, the New York Federal Reserve would use information
collected through a daily survey conducted by its Trading Desk of primary dealers' repo borrowing activity.
v



Such daily survey would include information reported by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as a primary dealer.
The New York Federal Reserve notes on its publication page for SOFR that use of SOFR is subject to
important limitations, indemnification obligations and disclaimers, including that the New York Federal
Reserve may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of
SOFR at any time without notice.
Each U.S. government securities business day, the New York Federal Reserve publishes SOFR on its
website at approximately 8:00 a.m., New York City time. If errors are discovered in the transaction data
provided by The Bank of New York Mellon or DTCC Solutions LLC, or in the calculation process,
subsequent to the initial publication of SOFR but on that same day, SOFR and the accompanying summary
statistics may be republished at approximately 2:30 p.m., New York City time. Additionally, if transaction
data from The Bank of New York Mellon or DTCC Solutions LLC had previously not been available in time
for publication, but became available later in the day, the affected rate or rates may be republished at around
this time. Rate revisions will only be effected on the same day as initial publication and will only be
republished if the change in the rate exceeds one basis point. Any time a rate is revised, a footnote to the
New York Federal Reserve's publication would indicate the revision. This revision threshold will be
reviewed periodically by the New York Federal Reserve and may be changed based on market conditions.
Because SOFR is published by the New York Federal Reserve based on data received from other sources,
the Issuer has no control over its determination, calculation or publication. See "Risk Factors Relating to the
Program Securities" below.
The information contained in this section "Secured Overnight Financing Rate" is based upon the New York
Federal Reserve's Website and other U.S. government sources
Investing in the Program Securities involves risks. See "Risk Factors relating to the Program
Securities" beginning on page 10 of this Offering Circular.

United States Withholding Tax
Payments in respect of a Program Security by Morgan Stanley or MSFL may be subject to U.S.
withholding tax of 30 per cent. if the beneficial owner of the Program Security does not meet the
criteria for being exempt from this withholding tax. These criteria include the requirement that the
beneficial owner (or a financial institution holding the Program Security on behalf of the beneficial
owner) comply with certain tax identification and certification rules, generally by furnishing the
appropriate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E on which the beneficial
owner certifies under penalties of perjury (i) that it is not a U.S. person, (ii) in the case of an entity,
that it is exempt from FATCA withholding, and (iii) in the case of certain Program Securities, that it
is eligible for a certain exemption under an applicable tax treaty, as described below under "United
States Federal Taxation". U.S. withholding may also apply with respect to certain Program Securities
issues by any Issuer that are linked to U.S. equities or certain indicies that include U.S. equities. If
withholding is so required, unless specified otherwise in an applicable Pricing Supplement none of the
Issuers or any intermediary will be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the
amounts so withheld.
Program Securities are not deposits and are not covered by any deposit protection scheme.
THE PROGRAM SECURITIES ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS AND ARE NOT
INSURED BY THE U.S. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OR DEPOSIT PROTECTION SCHEME
ANYWHERE, NOR ARE THEY OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED BY, A BANK.
No other person is authorised to give information on the Program Securities beyond what is in this
Offering Circular and related Pricing Supplement
No person has been authorised by any of Morgan Stanley, MSI plc, MSBV or MSFL to give any
information or to make any representation not contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering
Circular, and, if given or made, that information or representation should not be relied upon as having been
authorised by Morgan Stanley, MSI plc, MSBV or MSFL.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Program Securities includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the
Program Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a
retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of:
(A)
a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II, as amended;
(B)
a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended (the "Insurance
Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or
(C)
not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
Consequently, if the Pricing Supplement in respect of any Program Securities includes a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
Program Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been or will

also sell Program Securities to the Distribution Agents as principal for their own accounts at a price to be
agreed upon at the time of sale. The Distribution Agents may resell any Program Securities they purchase as
principal at prevailing market prices, or at other prices, as they determine. Each Issuer or the Distribution
Agents may reject any offer to purchase Program Securities, in whole or in part. See "Subscription and
Sale" and "No Ownership by U.S. Persons" beginning on page 428 and 441, respectively.

applicable laws and regulations.

appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of Morgan Stanley, MSI plc, MSBV or MSFL (as
applicable) and of the particular terms of any offered Program Securities.
General offer restriction

The Program Securities do not qualify as units of a collective investment scheme according to the relevant
provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Collective Investments Scheme ("CISA"), as amended, and are not
registered thereunder. Therefore, the Program Securities are neither governed by the CISA nor supervised
viii



by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Accordingly, investors do not have the benefit of the
specific investor protection provided under the CISA.
