Morgan Stanley International PLC est une filiale britannique de Morgan Stanley, offrant une gamme de services financiers aux clients institutionnels et privés, incluant la banque d'investissement, la gestion d'actifs et les services de courtage.

Un examen approfondi de l'obligation portant le code ISIN XS1414142247 révèle une émission significative sur le marché financier. L'émetteur, Morgan Stanley International PLC, est une entité clé au sein du groupe Morgan Stanley, une institution financière mondiale de premier plan. Basée au Royaume-Uni, cette filiale joue un rôle central dans les activités européennes de la banque d'investissement, offrant un large éventail de services financiers incluant le conseil en fusions-acquisitions, le financement, la gestion d'actifs et les opérations de marché, soulignant ainsi son importance stratégique et sa régulation rigoureuse par les autorités britanniques. Cette obligation spécifique, émise depuis le Royaume-Uni, est libellée en Euros (EUR) et se négocie actuellement au pair, à 100% de sa valeur nominale. Caractéristique notable, elle affiche un taux d'intérêt de 0%, ce qui la positionne comme une obligation à coupon zéro (zero-coupon bond). Cela signifie qu'aucun paiement d'intérêt périodique n'est effectué; le rendement de l'investisseur provient de la différence entre le prix d'achat et la valeur nominale remboursée à l'échéance. Sa maturité est fixée au 29 août 2046, offrant une perspective d'investissement à très long terme. L'émission totale représente un volume de 50 000 000 EUR, avec une taille minimale d'achat de 100 000 EUR, ciblant potentiellement des investisseurs institutionnels ou des particuliers fortunés. Bien que la fréquence de paiement soit indiquée comme '1', l'absence de coupon rend cette information pertinente principalement pour le remboursement du principal à l'échéance.

REGULATION S PROGRAM FOR THE ISSUANCE OF NOTES, SERIES A AND SERIES B,
WARRANTS AND CERTIFICATES
This Base Prospectus
This document is a base prospectus ("Base Prospectus") prepared for purposes of Article 5.4 of
Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive") for the purpose of the offering of
Notes (as described below) from time to time. It should be read together with (i) any supplements to it
from time to time (available on the web-site of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu)), (ii)
the information incorporated by reference into it (see "Incorporation by Reference" below) and (iii)
in relation to a Tranche of Notes, the Final Terms (described below) relating to that Tranche of Notes.
The Program
Morgan Stanley ("Morgan Stanley"), Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSI plc") and
Morgan Stanley B.V. ("MSBV") established the Regulation S Program for the Issuance of Notes,
Series A and B, Warrants and Certificates (the "Program"). Under the Program, Morgan Stanley, MSI
plc and MSBV may offer from time to time Series A Notes and Series B Notes (together, the "Notes
issued under the Program"), Warrants (the "Warrants") and Certificates (the "Certificates", and
together with the Notes issued under the Program and the Warrants, the "Program Securities"). Only
certain of the Notes issued under the Program are described in this base prospectus (the "Base
Prospectus"), being those (i) issued pursuant to the Issue and Paying Agency Agreement (as defined
under "General Description of the Notes" below), (ii) issued in dematerialised and uncertificated book-
entry form with a Nordic central securities depositary (as described under "General Description of the
Notes" below) or (iii) issued pursuant to the Euroclear Agreement (as defined under "General
Description of the Notes" below) (hereafter referred to collectively as the "Notes"). For the avoidance
of doubt, this Base Prospectus does not relate to or describe any Program Securities other than the
Notes.
The Notes
Under this Base Prospectus, securities in the form of Notes may be offered.
Conditions of the Notes
The terms and conditions applicable to a Tranche of Notes (the "Conditions") are the General Terms
and Conditions (set out in the section entitled "Part 1: General Terms and Conditions" below) and the
applicable provisions of the Additional Terms and Conditions (set out in the section entitled "Part 2:
Additional Terms and Conditions" below) as completed by the applicable Final Terms (described
below). Alternatively, a Tranche of Notes may be issued on the terms set forth in a separate prospectus
specific to such Tranche (a "Drawdown Prospectus") as described under "Final Terms and Drawdown
Prospectus" below.
i

Final Terms and Drawdown Prospectuses
A "final terms" document (the "Final Terms") or a "drawdown prospectus" document (the
"Drawdown Prospectus") will be prepared in respect of each Tranche of Notes. The Final Terms will
complete the General Terms and Conditions and specify the Additional Terms and Conditions, if any,
applicable in relation to such Notes. The Drawdown Prospectus will amend and/or replace the
Conditions in relation to the relevant Series in the manner as set forth in the Drawdown Prospectus and
will also set out or incorporate by reference the necessary information relating to the Issuer and if
applicable, the Guarantor. The Final Terms and the Drawdown Prospectus therefore contain vital
information in regard to the Notes. The Final Terms and the Drawdown Prospectus will be available on
the web-site of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
The Issuers
The issuers (each an "Issuer") of Notes under this Base Prospectus from time to time may be any of
Morgan Stanley, MSI plc and MSBV. Information on each Issuer is included in this Base Prospectus,
including information incorporated by reference.
The Guarantor of MSBV Notes
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Final Terms, the payment of all amounts due in respect of
Notes issued by MSBV ("MSBV Notes") are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Morgan
Stanley (the "Guarantor"). However, the payment of amounts due in respect of Notes issued by MSI
plc are not guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. In any event, all payments under the Notes are subject to
the credit risk of the Issuer and (if applicable) the Guarantor. Information on the Guarantor is included
in this Base Prospectus, including information incorporated by reference.
Status of the Notes
The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated general obligations of the Issuer and not of any affiliate
of the Issuer. The Notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme or any other governmental
agency or deposit protection scheme anywhere, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.
Relevant Underlyings
The return on the Notes may depend on the performance of one or more of any of the following types
of underlying reference assets (referred to as the "Relevant Underlyings" in the terms and conditions):
interest rates, swap rates, shares, equity indices, exchange traded funds, commodities or commodity
indices, inflation indices, other indices, currencies, funds and one or more preference shares issued by
an entity which is not Morgan Stanley, MSI plc or MSBV or any legal entity belonging to the same
group as Morgan Stanley, MSI plc or MSBV. The Relevant Underlying(s) (if any) in relation to any
Notes will be set out in the Final Terms or Drawdown Prospectuses applicable to such Notes.
Noteholders will have no beneficial interest in any Relevant Underlyings.
Risk Factors
Notes offered from time to time under this Base Prospectus may not provide for scheduled repayment
in full at maturity of the amount paid for them, and you could therefore lose some and up to all of your
investment, depending on the performance of the Relevant Underlying(s). Also, in any event, payments
under the Notes are subject to the credit risk of the Issuer (and, if applicable, the Guarantor). Investing
in the Notes involves risks. Before purchasing the Notes, you should carefully consider, in particular,
"Risk Factors" below.
ii

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Risk Warning
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors
An investment in the Notes entails certain risks, which vary depending on the specification and type or
structure of the Notes.
Each potential investor should determine whether an investment in the Notes is appropriate in such
potential investor's particular circumstances. An investment in the Notes requires a thorough
understanding of the nature of the relevant transaction. Potential investors should be experienced with
respect to an investment in the Notes and be aware of the related risks.
An investment in the Notes is only suitable for potential investors who:

have the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the
merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and the information contained in, or
incorporated by reference into, this document;

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 Notes will have on their overall investment portfolio;

understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and are familiar with the behaviour of the
Relevant Underlying (as defined below) and financial markets;

are capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Notes until the maturity date
of the Notes;

recognise that it may not be possible to dispose of the Notes for a substantial period of time, if
at all before the maturity date; and

are familiar with the behaviour of the Relevant Underlying and relevant financial markets and
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial and legal adviser) possible
scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect the potential investor's
investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not
purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone 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 any Notes unless
such potential investor has the expertise (either alone or with a financial and legal adviser) to evaluate
how the Notes will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes
and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio. Each
Issuer, The Guarantor and MSI plc as Distribution Agent, disclaims 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 Notes.
Investing in the Notes involves risks. See the section entitled "Risk Factors Relating to the Notes"
below.
Important US securities and tax law considerations
THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ARE SUBJECT TO
U.S. TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS. THE NOTES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
DELIVERED AT ANY TIME, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITHIN THE UNITED
STATES (WHICH TERM INCLUDES THE TERRITORIES, THE POSSESSIONS AND ALL
OTHER AREAS SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES) OR TO OR
FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT).
iii

For payments in respect of a Note issued by Morgan Stanley, in order to avoid U.S. withholding
taxes, the beneficial owner of the Note that is not a United States person (or a financial institution
holding the Note on behalf of the beneficial owner that is not a United States person) is required
under current law to comply with certain tax identification and certification requirements,
generally by furnishing the appropriate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-
8BEN-E on which the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is not a United
States person. Certain tax identification and certification requirements apply as well to holders
of Notes of all Issuers with respect to "FATCA" as more fully described under "United States
Federal Taxation".
Each investor must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each country or
jurisdiction in or from which the investor purchases, offers, sells or delivers the Notes or has in
the investor's possession or distributes this Base Prospectus or any accompanying Final Terms,
or any Drawdown Prospectus.
No deposits and no deposit protection insurance
THE NOTES ARE NOT BANK DEPOSITS AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE U.S.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE UK FINANCIAL SERVICES
COMPENSATION SCHEME, OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, NOR ARE
THEY OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED BY, A BANK.
No or limited secondary market
Potential investors should be willing to hold the Notes until maturity. The nature and extent of
any secondary market in the Notes cannot be predicted and there may be little or no secondary
market in the Notes. If Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc or other affiliate does make a
market for the Notes, it may cease to do so at any time.

Stabilisation legend
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUE OF ANY TRANCHE OF NOTES UNDER THE
PROGRAM, ANY DISTRIBUTION AGENT OR ANY OTHER AGENT SPECIFIED FOR
THAT PURPOSE IN THE APPLICABLE FINAL TERMS AS THE STABILISING MANAGER
(OR ANY PERSON ACTING FOR THE STABILISING MANAGER) MAY OVER-ALLOT OR

ANY OF THE NOTES AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE
PREVAIL FOR A LIMITED PERIOD. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE
STABILISING MANAGER (OR ANY AGENT OF THE STABILISING MANAGER) WILL
UNDERTAKE STABILISING ACTION. ANY STABILISING ACTION MAY BEGIN ON OR
AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH ADEQUATE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF THE TERMS OF
THE OFFER OF THE RELEVANT TRANCHE OF NOTES IS MADE AND, IF
COMMENCED, MAY BE DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME, BUT MUST BE BROUGHT TO
AN END NO LATER THAN THE EARLIER OF 30 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE OF
THE RELEVANT TRANCHE OF NOTES AND 60 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THE
ALLOTMENT OF THE RELEVANT TRANCHE OF NOTES. ANY STABILISING ACTION
OR OVER-ALLOTMENT MUST BE CONDUCTED BY THE STABILISING MANAGER (OR
ANY PERSON ACTING FOR THE STABILISING MANAGER) IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND RULES.
