All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of Walmart Inc., the iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley

Principal at Risk Securities

The securities offered are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement, index 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. The securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each of the common stock of Walmart Inc., the iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund, which we refer to as the underlyings, on any of the annual determination dates is greater than or equal to 100% of its respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective call threshold level, for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities, as described below. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level, investors will receive a payment at maturity of $1,616 per $1,000 security. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of any underlying is less than its respective call threshold level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 70% of its respective initial level which we refer to as the respective downside threshold level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying on a 1-to-1 basis, and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment. The securities are for investors who are willing to forego current income and participation in the appreciation of any underlying in exchange for the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment or payment at maturity greater than the stated principal amount if each underlying closes at or above the respective call threshold level on an annual determination date or the final determination date, respectively. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline beyond the respective downside threshold level of any underlying will result in a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying. 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 underlying reference asset or assets.

Principal at Risk Securities

The Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature due December 7, 2028 All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of Walmart Inc., the iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund (the “securities”) do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each of the Common Stock of Walmart Inc., the iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund on any annual determination date is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level, for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities, as described below. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level, investors will receive a payment at maturity of $1,616 per $1,000 security. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final level of any underlying is less than its respective call threshold level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying on a 1-to-1 basis, and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment. Investors will not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.

Maturity:

Approximately 4 years

Automatic early redemption:

If, on any annual determination date, the closing level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the applicable early redemption payment on the related early redemption date.

Early redemption payment:

The early redemption payment will be an amount in cash per stated principal amount (corresponding to a return of approximately 15.40% per annum) for each annual determination date, as follows:

1st determination date:

$1,154

2nd determination date:

$1,308

3rd determination date:

$1,462

No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.

Payment at maturity:

If the securities have not previously been redeemed, you will receive at maturity a cash payment per security as follows:

If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level:

$1,616

If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective call threshold level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level:

$1,000

If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level:

$1,000 × performance factor of the worst performing underlying

Under these circumstances, investors will lose a significant portion or all of their investment. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment.

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 $950.80, or within $30.00 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.

Principal at Risk Securities

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 underlyings. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlyings, instruments based on the underlyings, 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 early redemption payment amounts, the call threshold levels and the downside threshold levels, 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 underlyings, 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 underlyings, 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 do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each of the common stock of Walmart Inc., the iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund on any annual determination date is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level.

The following scenarios are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how an automatic early redemption payment or 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 prior to maturity and the payment at maturity may be less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.

Scenario 1: The securities are redeemed prior to maturity

When each underlying closes at or above its respective call threshold level on any annual determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the applicable early redemption payment on the related early redemption date. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.

Scenario 2: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive a fixed positive return at maturity

This scenario assumes that at least one underlying closes below its respective call threshold level on each of the annual determination dates. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, each underlying closes at or above its respective call threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to $1,616 per stated principal amount. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.

Scenario 3: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive the stated principal amount at maturity

This scenario assumes that at least one underlying closes below its respective call threshold level on each of the annual determination dates. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, at least one underlying closes below its respective call threshold level, but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security.

Scenario 4: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors suffer a substantial loss of principal at maturity

This scenario assumes that at least one underlying closes below its respective call threshold level on each of the annual determination dates. Consequently, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity. On the final determination date, at least one underlying closes below its respective downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the performance factor of the worst performing underlying. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than the stated principal amount and could be zero.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether the securities are redeemed prior to maturity will be determined by reference to the closing level of each underlying on each of the annual determination dates, and the payment at maturity, if any, will be determined by reference to the closing level of each underlying on the final determination date. The actual initial levels, call threshold levels and downside threshold levels will be determined on the pricing date. Some numbers appearing in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. All payments on the securities are subject to our credit risk. The below examples are based on the following terms:

Early Redemption Payment:

The early redemption payment will be an amount in cash per stated principal amount (corresponding to a return of approximately 15.40% per annum) for each annual determination date, as follows:

1st determination date:

$1,154

2nd determination date:

$1,308

3rd determination date:

$1,462

 

No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.

Payment at Maturity

If the securities have not previously been redeemed, you will receive at maturity a cash payment per security as follows:

If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective call threshold level:

$1,616

If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective call threshold level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level:

$1,000

If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level:

$1,000 × performance factor of the worst performing underlying.

Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

Stated Principal Amount:

$1,000

Hypothetical Initial Level:

With respect to the WMT Stock: $60.00

With respect to the ITA Shares: $160.00

With respect to the XLF Shares: $40.00

Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level:

With respect to the WMT Stock: $42.00‬, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level

With respect to the ITA Shares: $112.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level

With respect to the XLF Shares: $28.00, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial level

Hypothetical Call Threshold Level:

With respect to the WMT Stock: $60.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

With respect to the ITA Shares: $160.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

With respect to the XLF Shares: $40.00, which is 100% of its hypothetical initial level

Automatic Call:

Example 1 — the securities are redeemed following the second determination date

Date

WMT Stock Closing Level

ITA Shares Closing Level

XLF Shares Closing Level

Payment (per Security)

1st Determination Date

$80.00 (at or above the call threshold level)

$170.00 (at or above the call threshold level)

$20.00 (below the call threshold level)

--

2nd Determination Date

$90.00 (at or above the call threshold level)

$175.00 (at or above the call threshold level)

$80.00 (at or above the call threshold level)

$1,308

In this example, on the first determination date, the closing levels of two of the underlyings are at or above their respective call threshold levels, but the closing level of the other underlying is below its respective call threshold level. Therefore, the securities are not redeemed. On the second determination date, the closing level of each underlying is at or above the respective call threshold level. Therefore, the securities are automatically redeemed on the second early redemption date. Investors will receive a payment of $1,308 per security on the related early redemption date. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed, and investors do not participate in the appreciation in any of the underlyings.

How to calculate the payment at maturity:

In the following examples, one or more of the underlyings close below the respective call threshold level(s) on each of the annual determination dates, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.

 

WMT Stock Final Level

ITA Shares Final Level

XLF Shares Final Level

Payment at Maturity (per Security)

Example 1:

$70.00 (at or above its call threshold level)

$170.00 (at or above its call threshold level)

$82.00 (at or above its call threshold level)

$1,616

Example 2:

$48.00‬ (below its call threshold level but at or above its downside threshold level)

$176.00 (at or above its call threshold level and downside threshold level)

$48.00 (at or above its call threshold level and downside threshold level)

$1,000

Example 3:

$75.00 (at or above its call threshold level and downside threshold level)

$176.00 (at or above its call threshold level and downside threshold level)

$20‬.00 (below its downside threshold level)

$1,000 x ($20.00 / $40.00) = $500

Example 4:

$12.00 (below its downside threshold level)

$80.00 (below its downside threshold level)

$36.00 (below its call threshold level but at or above its downside threshold level)

$1,000 x ($12.00 / $60.00) = $200

Example 5:

$12.00 (below its downside threshold level)

$48.00 (below its downside threshold level)

$16.00 (below its downside threshold level)

$1,000 x ($12.00 / $60.00) = $200

In example 1, the final level of each underlying is at or above its respective call threshold level. Therefore, investors receive $1,616 per security at maturity. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.

In example 2, the final levels of two of the underlyings are at or above their respective call threshold levels and at or above their respective downside threshold levels, but the final level of the other underlying is below its call threshold level and at or above its downside threshold level. The ITA Shares have increased 10% from its initial level to its final level, the XLF Shares have increased 20% from the initial level to the final level and the WMT Stock has declined 20% from its initial level to its final level. Therefore, investors receive a payment at maturity equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security. Investors do not participate in any appreciation in any underlying.

In example 3, the final levels of two of the underlyings are at or above their respective call threshold levels and at or above their respective downside threshold levels, but the final level of the other underlying is below its respective downside threshold level. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity. The WMT Stock has increased 25% from its initial level to its final level, the ITA Shares have increased 10% from its initial level to its final level and the XLF Shares have declined 50% from the initial level to the final level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity an amount equal

to the stated principal amount times the performance factor of the XLF Shares, which represent the worst performing underlying in this example.

In example 4, the final level of one of the underlyings is below its call threshold level but at or above its downside threshold level, while the final levels of the other underlyings are below their respective downside threshold levels. Therefore, investors are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity. The XLF Shares have declined 10% from the initial level to the final level, the ITA Shares have declined 50% from its initial level to its final level and the WMT Stock has declined 80% from its initial level to its final level. Therefore, investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount times the performance factor of the WMT Stock, which is the worst performing underlying in this example.

In example 5, the final level of each underlying is below its respective downside threshold level, and investors receive at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount times the performance factor of the worst performing underlying. The WMT Stock has declined 80% from its initial level to its final level, the ITA Shares have declined 70% from its initial level to its final level and the XLF Shares have declined 60% from the initial level to the final level. Therefore, the payment at maturity equals the stated principal amount times the performance factor of the WMT Stock, which is the worst performing underlying in this example.

If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlying is below its respective downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity, and your payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount per security and could be zero.

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. We also urge you to 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 or guarantee the return of any principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any of the principal amount at maturity. If the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold level of 70% of its initial level, you will be exposed to the decline in the value of the worst performing underlying, as compared to its initial level, 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 performance factor of the worst performing underlying. In this case, the payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.

The appreciation potential of the securities is limited by the fixed early redemption payment or payment at maturity specified for each determination date. The appreciation potential of the securities is limited to the fixed early redemption payment specified for each determination date if each underlying closes at or above its respective call threshold level on any annual determination date, or to the fixed upside payment at maturity if the securities have not been redeemed and the final level of each underlying is at or above its call threshold level. In all cases, you will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying, which could be significant.

The market price will 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 each underlying on any day, including in relation to its respective initial level, call threshold level and 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:

othe trading price and volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the underlyings and the stocks constituting the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index and the Financial Select Sector Index (the “share underlying indices”),

ogeopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the WMT Stock and the component stocks of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index and the Financial Select Sector Index and which may affect the levels of the underlyings,

odividend rates on the WMT Stock and the stocks constituting the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index and the Financial Select Sector Index,

othe time remaining until the securities mature,

ointerest and yield rates in the market,

othe availability of comparable instruments,

othe composition of the share underlying indices and changes in their constituent stocks

othe occurrence of certain events affecting the underlyings that may or may not require an adjustment to an adjustment factor, and

oany actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the securities will be affected by the other factors described above. Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your securities prior to maturity. For example, you may have to sell your securities at a substantial discount from the stated

principal amount of $1,000 per security if the price of any underlying at the time of sale is near or below its downside threshold level or if market interest rates rise.

You cannot predict the future performance of any underlying based on its historical performance. The value(s) of one or more of the underlyings may decrease so that you will receive no return on your investment and receive a payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount. SeeWalmart Inc. Overview,” “iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF Overview” andFinancial Select Sector SPDR® Fund Overview” below.

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 upon an early redemption or 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.

Not equivalent to investing in any of the underlyings or the share underlying indices. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the WMT Stock or the stocks that constitute the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index. Investors in the securities will not participate in any positive performance of any underlying, and will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the WMT Stock or the stocks that constitute the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index.

Reinvestment risk. The term of your investment in the securities may be shortened due to the automatic early redemption feature of the securities. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive no further payments on the securities and may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.

The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited, and accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities for the entire 4-year term of the securities. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. 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 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., may be 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 underlyings, 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 will be influenced by many unpredictable factors” above.

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially 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 underlyings, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index), including taking positions in the ITA Shares, the XLF Shares and the stocks constituting the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index, futures and/or options contracts on the underlyings or the component stock of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index listed on major securities markets. 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 final determination date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the underlyings and other financial instruments related to the underlyings, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index 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 the pricing date could potentially increase the initial level of any of the underlyings and, therefore, could increase (i) the value at or above which such underlying must close on the determination dates so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying, which is the value at or above which such underlying must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the value of any of the underlyings on the determination dates, and, accordingly, whether we redeem the securities prior to maturity and the amount of cash you will receive at maturity, if any.

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 levels, the call threshold levels, the downside threshold levels, the final levels, whether the securities will be redeemed on any early

redemption date, whether a market disruption event has occurred, whether to make any adjustments to the adjustment factors and the payment at maturity, if any. 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, any adjustments to the adjustment factors and the selection of a successor index or calculation of a closing level in the event of a market disruption event or discontinuance of an underlying. These potentially subjective determinations may affect the payout to you upon an early redemption or at maturity, if any. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see “Description of Auto-Callable Securities— Postponement of Determination Dates,” “—Alternate Exchange Calculation in Case of an Event of Default,” “—Discontinuance of Any Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation,” “— Antidilution Adjustments” and “—Calculation Agent and Calculations” and” “Description of Auto-Callable Securities—Auto-Callable Securities Linked to Underlying Shares” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, MS & Co. has determined the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.

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 auto-callable 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. 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 Underlyings

You are exposed to the price risk of each underlying. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of each underlying. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlying. 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 underlying. Poor performance by any underlying over the term of the securities may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by any of the other underlyings. To receive an early redemption payment, each underlying must close at or above its respective call threshold level on the applicable determination date. In addition, if the securities have not been redeemed and at least one underlying has declined to below its respective downside threshold level as of the final determination date, you will be fully exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying over the term of the securities on a 1-to-1 basis, even if one or both of the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. Under this scenario, the value of any such payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the price risk of each underlying.

No affiliation with Walmart Inc. Walmart Inc. is not an affiliate of ours, is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the securities.

about Walmart Inc. Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to Walmart Inc., which may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the WMT Stock.

Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the aerospace and defense industry. The securities are subject to certain risks applicable to the aerospace and defense industry. The aerospace and defense industry can be significantly affected by government regulation and spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely, to a significant extent, on government demand for their products and services. The financial condition of these companies is heavily influenced by government defense spending, which may be reduced in efforts to control government budgets. The aerospace industry in particular has recently been affected by adverse economic conditions and consolidation within the industry. The value of the securities may be likely to be more adversely affected by any negative performance of the aerospace and defense industry than a different investment linked to securities that include more diversified stocks across a number of sectors.

Investing in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments with a concentration in the financial services sector. The stocks included in the Financial Select Sector Index and that are generally tracked by the XLF Shares are stocks of companies whose primary business is directly associated with the financial services sector, including the following sub-sectors: diversified financial services, insurance, commercial banks, capital markets, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), consumer finance, thrifts & mortgage finance, and real estate management & development. Because the value of the securities is linked to the performance of the XLF Shares, an investment in the securities exposes investors to risks associated with investments in securities with a concentration in the financial services sector.

Financial services companies are subject to specific and substantial risks, including, without limitation, significant competition and extensive government regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the businesses they can enter and the interest rates and fees they can charge. The ability of companies in the financial services sector to generate profits is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, which may fluctuate significantly when interest rates or company credit ratings change. The stock prices of financial institutions, especially those engaged in investment banking, brokerage and banking businesses, have historically been unpredictable, with significant stock price fluctuations in response to reported trading losses in proprietary trading businesses, actual or perceived problems related to risk management systems, the amount of total leverage, liquidity of assets or capital resources, the strength of the mergers and acquisitions and capital markets businesses and general economic conditions, among other factors. Insurance companies, which are the issuers of some of the equity securities held by the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund, have been and may continue to be subject to severe price competition. As a result, the value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting the financial services sector or one of the sub-sectors of the financial services sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers.

The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every corporate event that could affect the WMT Stock. MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for certain corporate events affecting the WMT Stock, such as stock splits, stock dividends and extraordinary dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the issuers of the WMT Stock, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the WMT Stock. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments if the issuers of the WMT Stock or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for the WMT Stock, nor will adjustments be made following the final determination date. In addition, no adjustments will be made for regular cash dividends, which are expected to reduce the price of the WMT Stock by the amount of such dividends. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, such as a regular cash dividend, this may decrease the final share price of the WMT Stock to be less than its respective downside threshold level (resulting in a loss of a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities), materially and adversely affecting your return.

Adjustments to any of the ITA Shares and the XLF Shares or the share underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the securities. The investment advisor to each of the iShares® U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and

the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund (the “underlying shares”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index, as applicable (each, a “share underlying index). Pursuant to its investment strategies or otherwise, the investment advisor may add, delete or substitute the components of the applicable underlying shares. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the securities. The publisher of each of the share underlying indices is responsible for calculating and maintaining the share underlying indices. The publisher may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the share underlying indices or make other methodological changes that could change the level of the share underlying indices. The publisher may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of a share underlying index at any time. If this discontinuance or suspension occurs following the termination of the respective underlying shares, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued share underlying index, and is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of any of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the securities.

The performance and market price of any of the ITA Shares and the XLF 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 share or the level of its respective share underlying index.

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 final determination date, 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 may 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 final determination 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 could affect the ITA Shares or the XLF Shares. MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for certain events affecting the ITA Shares and the XLF Shares. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that can affect the ITA Shares or the XLF Shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the adjustment factor, the market price of the securities may be materially and adversely affected.

5. If (i) there occurs any reclassification or change of the WMT Stock, including, without limitation, as a result of the issuance of any tracking stock by the WMT Stock issuer, (ii) the WMT Stock issuer or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of the WMT Stock issuer (the “successor corporation”) has been subject to a merger, combination or consolidation and is not the surviving entity, (iii) any statutory exchange of securities of the WMT Stock issuer or any successor corporation with another corporation occurs (other than pursuant to clause (ii) above), (iv) the WMT Stock issuer is liquidated, (v) the WMT Stock issuer issues to all of its shareholders equity securities of an issuer other than the WMT Stock issuer (other than in a transaction described in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) (a “spin-off event”) or (vi) a tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction is consummated for all the outstanding shares of the WMT Stock (any such event in clauses (i) through (vi), a “reorganization event”), the method of determining whether an early redemption has occurred and the amount payable upon an early redemption date or at maturity for each security will be as follows:

Upon any determination date following the effective date of a reorganization event and prior to the final determination date: If the exchange property value (as defined below) is greater than or equal to the call threshold level, and the determination closing price (or exchange property value, if applicable) of each other underlyingg is also greater than or equal to its call threshold level, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the relevant early redemption payment.

Upon the final determination date, if the securities have not previously been automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity per security will equal:

threshold level:

If the worst performing underlying has not undergone a reorganization event as described in paragraph 5 above: (i) the stated principal amount multiplied by (ii) the performance factor of the worst performing underlying.

If the worst performing underlying has undergone a reorganization event as described in paragraph 5 above: (i) the stated principal amount multiplied by (ii) the performance factor of the worst performing underlying. For purposes of calculating the performance factor, the “final level” of the worst performing underlying will be deemed to equal the cash value, determined as of the final determination date, of the securities, cash or any other assets distributed to holders of the worst performing underlying in or as a result of any such reorganization event, including (A) in the case of the issuance of tracking stock, the reclassified share of such worst performing underlying, (B) in the case of a spin-off event, the share of such worst performing underlying with respect to which the spun-off security was issued, and (C) in the case of any other reorganization event where such worst performing underlying continues to be held by the holders receiving such distribution, such worst performing underlying (collectively, the “exchange property”), per share of such worst performing underlying multiplied by the adjustment factor for such worst performing underlying on the final determination date.

In the event exchange property consists of securities, those securities will, in turn, be subject to the antidilution adjustments set forth in paragraphs 1 through 5.

For purposes of determining whether or not the exchange property value is less than the call threshold level or downside threshold level, “exchange property value” means (x) for any cash received in any reorganization event, the value, as determined by the calculation agent, as of the date of receipt, of such cash received for one share of such WMT Stock, as adjusted by the adjustment factor for such WMT Stock at the time of such reorganization event, (y) for any property other than cash or securities received in any such reorganization event, the market value, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion, as of the date of receipt, of such exchange property received for one share of such WMT Stock, as adjusted by the adjustment factor for such WMT Stock at the time of such reorganization event, and (z) for any security received in any such reorganization event, an amount equal to the closing price, as of the day on which the exchange property value is determined, per share of such security multiplied by the quantity of such security received for each share of such WMT Stock, as adjusted by the adjustment factor for such WMT Stock at the time of such reorganization event.

For purposes of paragraph 5 above, in the case of a consummated tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction involving consideration of particular types, exchange property shall be deemed to include the amount of cash or other property delivered by the offeror in the tender or exchange offer (in an amount determined on the basis of the rate of exchange in such tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction). In the event of a tender or exchange offer or a going-private transaction with respect to exchange property in which an offeree may elect to receive cash or other property, exchange property shall be deemed to include the kind and amount of cash and other property received by offerees who elect to receive cash.

Following the occurrence of any reorganization event referred to in paragraph 5 above, all references in this offering document and in the related product supplement with respect to the securities to “the WMT Stock” shall be deemed to refer to the exchange property and references to a “share” or “shares” of the WMT Stock shall be deemed to refer to the applicable unit or units of such exchange property, unless the context otherwise requires.

No adjustment to an adjustment factor will be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the adjustment factor then in effect. The adjustment factor resulting from any of the adjustments specified above will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward. Adjustments to the adjustment factors will be made up to the close of business on the final determination date.

No adjustments to the adjustment factors or method of calculating the adjustment factors will be required other than those specified above. The adjustments specified above do not cover

all events that could affect the determination closing price or the final share price of an WMT Stock, including, without limitation, a partial tender or exchange offer for an WMT Stock.

The calculation agent shall be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to the adjustment factors or method of calculating the adjustment factors and of any related determinations and calculations with respect to any distributions of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with any corporate event described in paragraphs 1 through 5 above, and its determinations and calculations with respect thereto shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

The calculation agent will provide information as to any adjustments to the adjustment factors or to the method of calculating the amount payable at maturity of the securities made pursuant to paragraph 5 above upon written request by any investor in the securities.

Issuer notices to registered security holders, the trustee and the depositary:

In the event that the maturity date is postponed due to postponement of the final determination date, the issuer shall give notice of such postponement and, once it has been determined, of the date to which the maturity date has been rescheduled (i) to each registered holder of the securities by mailing notice of such postponement by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such registered holder’s last address as it shall appear upon the registry books, (ii) to the trustee by facsimile, confirmed by mailing such notice to the trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its New York office and (iii) to the depositary by telephone or facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice to the depositary by first class mail, postage prepaid. Any notice that is mailed to a registered holder of the securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given to such registered holder, whether or not such registered holder receives the notice. The issuer shall give such notice as promptly as possible, and in no case later than (i) with respect to notice of postponement of the maturity date, the business day immediately preceding the scheduled maturity date and (ii) with respect to notice of the date to which the maturity date has been rescheduled, the business day immediately following the final determination date as postponed.

In the event that the securities are subject to early redemption, the issuer shall, (i) on the business day following the applicable determination date, give notice of the early redemption of the securities and the applicable early redemption payment, including specifying the payment date of the applicable amount due upon the early redemption, (x) to each registered holder of the securities by mailing notice of such early redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such registered holder’s last address as it shall appear upon the registry books, (y) to the trustee by facsimile, confirmed by mailing such notice to the trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its New York office and (z) to the depositary by telephone or facsimile confirmed by mailing such notice to the depositary by first class mail, postage prepaid and (ii) on or prior to the early redemption date, deliver the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the securities to the trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the securities. Any notice that is mailed to a registered holder of the securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given to such registered holder, whether or not such registered holder receives the notice.

The issuer shall, or shall cause the calculation agent to, (i) provide written notice to the trustee, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, and to the depositary of the amount of cash, if any, to be delivered with respect to each stated principal amount of the securities, on or prior to 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the business day preceding the maturity date, and (ii) deliver the aggregate cash amount due with respect to the securities, if any, to the trustee for delivery to the depositary, as holder of the securities, on the maturity date.

Additional Information About the Securities

Additional Information:

Minimum ticketing size:

$1,000 / 1 security

Tax considerations:

Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, because our counsel’s opinion is based in part on market conditions as of the date of this document, it is subject to confirmation on the pricing date.

Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying product supplement for auto-callable 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.

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 auto-callable 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 Internal Revenue Service (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 auto-callable 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 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 auto-callable 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 auto-callable 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 3 above comprise the agent’s commissions and the cost of issuing, structuring and hedging the securities.

 

On or prior to the pricing date, we will 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 WMT Stock, ITA Shares, the XLF Shares, in stocks constituting the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index and in futures and/or options contracts on the WMT Stock, the XLF Shares, the ITA Shares, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index, their component stocks, or positions in any other available securities or instruments that they may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase activity could potentially increase the initial level of an underlying and, therefore, could increase (i) the value at or above which such underlying must close on the determination dates so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings) and (ii) the downside threshold level for such underlying, which is the value at or above which such underlying must close on the final determination date so that you are not exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying at maturity (depending also on the performance of the other underlyings). In addition, through our affiliates, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the securities, including on the final determination date, by purchasing and selling the WMT Stock, ITA Shares, the XLF Shares, the stocks constituting the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index or the Financial Select Sector Index, futures or options contracts on the WMT Stock, the ITA Shares, the XLF Shares, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index, the Financial Select Sector Index or their component stocks listed on major securities markets or by taking 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 final determination date approaches. Additionally, our hedging activities, as well as our other trading activities, during the term of the securities could potentially affect the value of any underlying on the determination dates, and, accordingly, whether we redeem the securities prior to maturity and the amount of cash you will receive at maturity, if any.
