Pricing Supplement No. 7,821

Registration Statement Nos. 333-250103; 333-250103-01

Dated February 2, 2023

Filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2)

Structured Investments

Opportunities in U.S. and International Equities

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 31, 2024

**Based on the Performance of the ARK Innovation ETF**

**Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

The securities are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. The securities do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon **but only if** the determination closing price of the underlying shares is **at or above** the coupon threshold level of 60% of the initial share price on the related observation date. If, however, the determination closing price is **less than** the coupon threshold level on any observation date, we will pay no interest for the related quarterly period. In addition, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the determination closing price is **greater than or equal to** 95% of the initial share price, which we refer to as the call threshold level, on any quarterly redemption determination date for the early redemption payment equal to the sum of the stated principal amount *plus* the related contingent quarterly coupon. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share price is **greater than or equal to** 60% of the initial share price, which we refer to as the downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the stated principal amount and the related contingent quarterly coupon. If, however, the final share price is **less than** the downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline in the underlying shares on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 60% 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 and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly coupons throughout the 1.5-year term of the securities.** The securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no quarterly coupons over the entire 1.5-year term. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying shares. The ARK Innovation ETF is actively managed and is subject to certain risks. Unlike a passively managed fund, an actively managed fund, such as the Ark Innovation ETF, does not attempt to track an index or other benchmark, and the investment decisions for an actively managed fund are instead made by its investment adviser. 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.**

Investment Summary

**Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities**

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 31, 2024 Based on the Performance of the ARK Innovation ETF (the "securities") do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon **but only if** the determination closing price of the underlying shares is **at or above** 60% of the initial share price, which we refer to as the coupon threshold level, on the related observation date. If the determination closing price is **less than** the coupon threshold level on any observation date, we will pay no coupon for the related quarterly period. It is possible that the determination closing price could remain below the coupon threshold level for extended periods of time or even throughout the entire 1.5-year term of the securities so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly coupons during the entire term of the securities. We refer to these coupons as contingent, because there is no guarantee that you will receive a coupon payment on any coupon payment date. Even if the underlying shares were to be at or above the coupon threshold level on some quarterly observation dates, it may fluctuate below the coupon threshold level on others. In addition, if the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity and the final share price is **below** the downside threshold level, which is 60% of the initial share price, investors will be fully exposed to the decline in the underlying shares on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 60% 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 and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly coupons. In addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying shares.**

**Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 31, 2024** <br>**Based on the Performance of the ARK Innovation ETF<br>Principal at Risk Securities**

------

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is less than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $968.50.

*What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?*

In valuing the securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a performance-based component linked to the underlying shares. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying shares, instruments based on the underlying shares, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary market.

*What determines the economic terms of the securities?*

In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the contingent quarterly coupon rate, the call threshold level, the coupon threshold level and the downside threshold level, we use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than our secondary market credit spreads and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you.

*What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities?*

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying shares, 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 4 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying shares, 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.

**Key Investment Rationale**

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon **but only if** the determination closing price of the underlying shares is **at or above** the coupon threshold level on the related observation date. The securities have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates and accept the risk of receiving no coupon payments for the entire 1.5-year term of the securities in exchange for an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate if the underlying shares close at or above the coupon threshold level on each quarterly observation date until the securities are redeemed early or reach maturity. The following scenarios are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how the coupon and the payment at maturity (if the securities have not previously been redeemed) are calculated, and do not attempt to demonstrate every situation that may occur. Accordingly, the securities may or may not be redeemed, the contingent coupon may be payable in none of, or some but not all of, the quarterly periods during the 1.5-year term of the securities and the payment at maturity may be less than 60% of the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **Scenario 1: The securities are redeemed prior to maturity** | This scenario assumes that, prior to early redemption, the underlying shares close at or above the coupon threshold level on some quarterly observation dates but below the coupon threshold level on the others. Investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is at or above the coupon threshold level on the related observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is below the coupon threshold level on the related observation date.<br> When the underlying shares close at or above the call threshold level on a quarterly redemption determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the stated principal amount *plus* the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the related observation date. |
|  **Scenario 2: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors receive principal back at maturity** | This scenario assumes that the underlying shares close at or above the coupon threshold level on some quarterly observation dates but below the coupon threshold level on the others, and the underlying shares close below the call threshold level on every quarterly redemption determination date. Consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed, and investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is at or above the coupon threshold level on the related observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is below the coupon threshold level on the related observation date. On the final observation date, the underlying shares close at or above the downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the final observation date. |
|  **Scenario 3: The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and investors suffer a substantial loss of principal at maturity** | This scenario assumes that the underlying shares close at or above the coupon threshold level on some quarterly observation dates and below the coupon threshold level on the others, and the underlying shares close below the call threshold level on every quarterly redemption determination date. Consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed, and investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is at or above the coupon threshold level on the related observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which the determination closing price is below the coupon threshold level on the related observation date. On the final observation date, the underlying shares close below the downside threshold level. At maturity, investors will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than 60% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. No coupon will be paid at maturity in this scenario.  |

How the Securities Work

The following diagrams illustrate the potential outcomes for the securities depending on (1) the determination closing price on each quarterly observation date, (2) the determination closing price on each quarterly redemption determination date and (3) the final share price. Please see "Hypothetical Examples" beginning on page 8 for an illustration of hypothetical payouts on the securities.

Hypothetical Examples

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

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Hypothetical Initial Share Price: | &nbsp;&nbsp; $40.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Hypothetical Call Threshold Level: | &nbsp;&nbsp; $38.00, which is 95% of the hypothetical initial share price |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Hypothetical Coupon Threshold Level: | &nbsp;&nbsp; $24.00, which is 60% of the hypothetical initial share price |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Contingent Quarterly Coupon: | &nbsp;&nbsp; 14.50% per annum (corresponding to approximately $36.25 per quarter per security)\*<br> A contingent quarterly coupon is paid on each coupon payment date **but only if the determination closing price of the underlying shares is at or above the coupon threshold level on the related observation date.** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level: | &nbsp;&nbsp; $24.00, which is 60% of the hypothetical initial share price |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Automatic Early Redemption: | &nbsp;&nbsp; If the determination closing price is greater than or equal to the call threshold level on any quarterly early redemption determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount *plus* the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the related observation date. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Payment at Maturity (if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early): | &nbsp;&nbsp; If the final share price is **greater than or equal to** the downside threshold level: the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the final observation date.<br>If the final share price is **less than** the downside threshold level: (i) the stated principal amount *multiplied by* (ii) the share performance factor |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Stated Principal Amount: | &nbsp;&nbsp; $1000 |

---

\* The actual contingent quarterly coupon will be an amount determined by the calculation agent based on the number of days in the applicable payment period, calculated on a 30/360 day-count basis. The hypothetical contingent quarterly coupon of $36.25 is used in these examples for ease of analysis.

In **Example 1**, the determination closing price of the underlying shares is greater than or equal to the call threshold level on one of the quarterly redemption determination dates (beginning on April 26, 2023). Because the determination closing price is greater than or equal to the call threshold level on such a date, the securities are automatically redeemed on the related early redemption date. **In Examples 2, 3 and 4**, the determination closing price is less than the call threshold level on all of the redemption determination dates, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.

**Example 1**—The securities are automatically redeemed following the quarterly redemption determination date in October 2023 as the determination closing price is greater than or equal to the call threshold level on such redemption determination date. The underlying shares decline substantially and the determination closing price is at or above the downside threshold level on only 1 of the 2 quarterly observation dates prior to (and excluding) the observation date immediately preceding the early redemption. Therefore, you would receive the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to that 1 observation date, totaling $36.25 × 1 = $36.25, but not for the other observation date. The underlying shares in this example, however, recover, and the determination closing price is equal to the call threshold level on the redemption determination date in October 2023. Upon early redemption, investors receive the early redemption payment calculated as $1,000.00 + $36.25 = $1,036.25.

The total payment over the 9-month term of the securities is $36.25 + $1,036.25 = $1,072.50.

**Example 2**—The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, as the determination closing price is less than the call threshold level on all quarterly redemption determination dates. The determination closing price is at or above the coupon threshold level on all 5 quarterly observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date, and the final share

------

price is also at or above the coupon threshold level and downside threshold level. Therefore, you would receive (i) the contingent quarterly coupons with respect to the 5 observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date, totaling $36.25 × 5 = $181.25‬, and (ii) the payment at maturity calculated as $1,000.00 + $36.25 = $1,036.25.

The total payment over the 1.5-year term of the securities is $181.25‬ + $1,036.25 = $1,217.5‬0.

This example illustrates the scenario where you receive a contingent quarterly coupon on every coupon payment date throughout the term of the securities and receive your principal back at maturity, resulting in an annual interest rate of 14.50% over the 1.5-year term of the securities. This example, therefore, represents the maximum amount payable over the 1.5-year term of the securities. To the extent that coupons are not paid on every coupon payment date, the effective rate of interest on the securities will be less than 14.50% per annum and could be zero.

**Example 3**—The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, as the determination closing price is less than the call threshold level on all quarterly redemption determination dates. The determination closing price is at or above the coupon threshold level on 2 out of the 5 quarterly observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date. The final share price is $40.00, which is above the coupon threshold level and downside threshold level. In this scenario, you receive a payment at maturity equal to the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly coupon with respect to the final observation date. Therefore, you would receive (i) the contingent quarterly coupons with respect to those 2 observation dates prior to (and excluding) the final observation date, totaling $36.25 × 2 = $72.50, but not for the other 3 observation dates, and (ii) the payment at maturity calculated as $1,000.00 + $36.25 = $1,036.25.

The total payment over the 1.5-year term of the securities is $72.50 + $1,036.25 = $1,108.75.

**Example 4**—The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, as the determination closing price is less than the call threshold level on all quarterly redemption determination dates. The determination closing price is below the coupon threshold level on all of the quarterly observation dates, including the final observation date, on which the final share price is $16.00, which is also below the downside threshold level. Therefore, you would receive no contingent quarterly coupons, and the payment at maturity would be calculated as $1,000.00 × ($16.00 / $40.00) = $400.

The total payment over the 1.5-year term of the securities is $0 + $400 = $400.

**If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price is less than the downside threshold level, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment in the securities.**

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 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.*

<u>Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities</u>

￭**The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal.** The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not guarantee the repayment of any principal. If the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and if the final share price is less than the downside threshold level of 60% of the initial share price, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing price of the underlying shares, as compared to the initial share price, on a 1-to-1 basis, and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity an amount equal to the stated principal amount *times* the share performance factor. In this case, the payment at maturity will be less than 60% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.

￭**The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest.** The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon **but only if** the determination closing price of the underlying shares is **at or above** 60% of the initial share price, which we refer to as the coupon threshold level, on the related observation date. If, on the other hand, the determination closing price is lower than the coupon threshold level on the relevant observation date for any interest period, we will pay no coupon on the applicable coupon payment date. It is possible that the determination closing price will remain below the coupon threshold level for extended periods of time or even throughout the entire 1.5-year term of the securities so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly coupons. If you do not earn sufficient contingent quarterly coupons over the term of the securities, the overall return on the securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of ours of comparable maturity.

￭**The contingent quarterly coupon, if any, is based on the determination closing price of the underlying shares on only the related quarterly observation date at the end of the related interest period.** Whether the contingent quarterly coupon will be paid on any coupon payment date will be determined at the end of the relevant interest period based on the determination closing price of the underlying shares on the relevant quarterly observation date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent quarterly coupon on any coupon payment date until near the end of the relevant interest period. Moreover, because the contingent quarterly coupon is based solely on the value of the underlying shares on quarterly observation dates, if the determination closing price of the underlying shares on any observation date is below the coupon threshold level, you will receive no coupon for the related interest period, even if the level of the underlying shares was at or above the coupon threshold level on other days during that interest period.

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

￭**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 the underlying shares on any day, including in relation to the coupon 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, volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) and dividends of the underlying shares,

owhether the determination closing price of the underlying shares has been below the coupon threshold level on any observation date,

February 2023 Page 10

Morgan Stanley Finance LLC

**Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 31, 2024** <br>**Based on the Performance of the ARK Innovation ETF<br>Principal at Risk Securities**

------

ogeopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the underlying shares or the securities markets generally and which may affect the final share price of the underlying shares,

othe time remaining until the securities mature,

ointerest and yield rates in the market,

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

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

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 the underlying shares at the time of sale is near or below the coupon threshold level or downside threshold level, or if market interest rates rise.

The price of the underlying shares may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See "ARK Innovation ETF Overview" below. The price of the underlying shares may decrease and be below the coupon threshold level on each observation date so that you will receive no return on your investment. Additionally, the price of the underlying shares may decrease and be below the downside threshold level on the final observation date so that you will lose more than 40% or all of your initial investment in the securities. There can be no assurance that the determination closing price of the underlying shares will be at or above the coupon threshold level on any observation date so that you will receive a coupon payment on the securities for the applicable interest period, or that it will be at or above the downside threshold level on the final observation date so that you do not suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities.

￭**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 at maturity or on any coupon payment date, and therefore you are subject to our credit risk. The securities are not guaranteed by any other entity. 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.

￭**No dividend payments or voting rights.** Owning the securities is not the same as owning the underlying shares or its component securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of shares of the underlying shares or stocks held by the Fund would have.

￭**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 more contingent quarterly coupons and may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.

￭**Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares.** Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares.

￭**The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities for the entire 1.5-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 4 months following the issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including those related to the underlying shares, 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 underlying shares), including trading in the underlying shares and in other instruments related

February 2023 Page 12

Morgan Stanley Finance LLC

**Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 31, 2024** <br>**Based on the Performance of the ARK Innovation ETF<br>Principal at Risk Securities**

------

to the underlying shares. 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 observation date approaches. Some of our affiliates also trade the underlying shares and other financial instruments related to the underlying shares 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 January 26, 2023 could potentially increase the initial share price, and, therefore, could increase (i) the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on the redemption determination dates so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment, (ii) the coupon threshold level, which is the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on each observation date in order for you to earn a contingent quarterly coupon, and (iii) the downside threshold level, which is the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on the final observation date, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative price performance of the underlying shares at maturity. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could affect the price of the underlying shares on the redemption determination dates and the observation dates, and, accordingly, whether we redeem the securities prior to maturity, whether we pay a contingent quarterly coupon on the securities and the amount of cash you 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 share price, the call threshold level, the coupon threshold level, the downside threshold level, the final share price, whether the contingent quarterly coupon will be paid on each coupon payment date, 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 factor and the payment that you will receive 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 nonoccurrence of market disruption events and certain adjustments to the adjustment factor. These potentially subjective determinations may affect the payout to you upon an automatic early redemption or at maturity, if any. For further information regarding these types of determinations, see "Description of Auto-Callable Securities—Auto-Callable Securities Linked to Underlying Shares" and "—Calculation Agent and Calculations" and related definitions 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.** There is no direct legal authority as to the proper treatment of the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and, therefore, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain.

Please read the discussion under "Additional Information—Tax considerations" in this document concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities. We intend to treat a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a single financial contract that provides for a coupon that will be treated as gross income to you at the time received or accrued, in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. Under this treatment, the ordinary income treatment of the coupon payments, in conjunction with the capital loss treatment of any loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, could result in adverse tax consequences to holders of the securities because the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the tax treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described herein. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of income or loss on the securities might differ significantly from the tax treatment described herein. For example, under one possible treatment, the IRS could seek to recharacterize the securities as debt instruments. In that event, U.S. Holders (as defined below) would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities every year at a "comparable yield" determined at the time of issuance (as adjusted based on the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of any contingent payments on the securities) and recognize all income and gain in respect of the securities as ordinary income. The risk that financial instruments providing for buffers, triggers or similar downside protection features, such as the securities, would be recharacterized as debt is greater than the risk of recharacterization for comparable financial instruments that do not have such features.

**Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) should note that we currently intend to withhold on any coupon paid to Non-U.S. Holders generally at a rate of 30%, or at a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty under an "other income" or similar provision, and will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.** 

In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. While it is not clear whether the securities would be viewed as similar to the prepaid forward contracts described in the notice, it is possible that any 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. The notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for holders of the securities are the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. 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, the issues presented by this notice and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

<u>Risks Relating to</u> <u>the Underlying Share</u><u>s</u>

￭**An investment in the securities is subject to risks associated with actively managed funds.** The Fund is actively managed. Unlike a passively managed fund, an actively managed fund does not attempt to track an index or other benchmark, and the investment decisions for an actively managed fund are instead made by its investment adviser. The investment adviser of an actively managed fund may adopt a strategy or strategies that pose significantly greater risks than the indexing strategy that would have been employed by a passively managed fund. As an actively managed fund, the Fund is subject to management risk. In managing an actively managed fund, the investment adviser of a fund applies investment strategies, techniques and analyses in making investment decisions for that fund, but there can be no guarantee that these actions will produce the intended results. The ability of the investment adviser to the Fund, ARK Investment Management LLC (the "Investment Adviser") to potentially successfully implement the Fund's investment strategy, and decisions made by the Investment Adviser pursuant to its investment strategy, will significantly influence the market price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the securities.

￭**Risks associated with disruptive innovation companies.** The Fund's investment strategy involves exposure to companies that the Investment Adviser determines to be consistent with the investment theme of disruptive innovation and technology. However, the companies selected by the Investment Adviser may not in fact do so. Companies that initially develop a novel technology may not be able to capitalize on that technology. Additionally, companies that develop disruptive technologies may face political or legal roadblocks from competitors, industry groups or local and national governments. These companies may also be exposed to risks applicable to sectors other than the disruptive innovation sector for which they are chosen, and the securities issued by these companies may underperform the securities of other companies that are primarily focused on a particular goal. The Fund may invest in companies that do not currently derive any revenue from disruptive innovations or technologies, and there is no assurance that any company will derive any revenue from disruptive innovations or technologies in the future. A disruptive innovation or technology may constitute a small portion of any company's overall business. As a result, the success of a disruptive innovation or technology may not affect the value of the equity securities issued by that company.

￭**An investment in the securities is subject to risks associated with small-capitalization and micro-capitalization companies**. Some of the equity securities held by the Fund have been issued by companies with small-capitalization or micro-capitalization. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies and therefore the Fund may be more volatile than a fund in which a greater percentage of the underlying components are issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization and micro-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization and micro-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In addition, small-capitalization and micro-capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.

￭**There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign (and especially emerging markets) equity securities**. The underlying shares are linked to the value of foreign (and especially emerging markets) equity securities. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities issued in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. In addition, the stocks that are generally tracked by the underlying shares have been issued by companies in various emerging markets countries, which pose further risks in addition to the risks associated with investing in foreign equity markets generally. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions between countries.

￭**The securities are subject to currency exchange risk.** Because the price of the Fund is linked to the value of foreign equity securities, holders of the securities will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such component securities trade. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as relevant government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the relevant region. An investor's net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component securities strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each security. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the Fund, the price of the Fund will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the securities may be reduced.

Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:

oexisting and expected rates of inflation;

oexisting and expected interest rate levels;

othe balance of payments; and

othe extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the applicable countries and the United States.

All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of the applicable countries and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

￭**The securities are subject to risks relating to cryptocurrencies and related investments.** The Fund may have exposure to cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, indirectly through investment funds, including through an investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ("GBTC"), a privately offered investment vehicle. Cryptocurrencies are digital assets and do not represent legal tender. Cryptocurrency generally operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government. Cryptocurrencies are susceptible to potential theft, loss, destruction and fraud. Cryptocurrency represents an emerging asset class, and regulation in the United States is still developing, including with respect to market integrity, anti-fraud, anti-manipulation, cybersecurity, surveillance and anti-money laundering. Federal, state and/or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrencies. The market prices of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been subject to extreme fluctuations. Even when held indirectly, investment vehicles like GBTC may be affected by the high volatility associated with cryptocurrency exposure. Holding a privately offered investment vehicle in its portfolio may cause the Fund to trade at a discount to their net asset value. If cryptocurrency

markets continue to be subject to sharp fluctuations, the Fund and the securities may be adversely affected. Cryptocurrency exchanges and other trading venues on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and, in many cases, largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives and other currencies. Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or may be permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers or malware, which may also affect the prices of cryptocurrencies. Events that negatively affect cryptocurrencies may negatively affect the performance of the Fund and the securities.

￭**The performance and market price of the Fund, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the performance of the Fund's net asset value per share.** Because the underlying shares are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market price of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund. During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem the underlying shares. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell the underlying shares. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of the underlying shares may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the net asset value per share of the Fund, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the securities in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the securities.

￭**The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares.** MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the adjustment factor for certain events affecting the underlying shares. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect the underlying 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. The determination by the calculation agent to adjust, or not to adjust, the adjustment factor may materially and adversely affect the value of the securities.

ARK Innovation ETF Overview

The ARK Innovation ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund of ARK ETF Trust (the "Trust"), a registered investment company, that primarily invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies that are deemed to be consistent with the Fund's investment theme of "disruptive innovation." The Fund is managed by ARK Investment Management LLC ("ARK LLC"), the investment adviser to the Fund. As an actively managed fund, the Fund is subject to management risk. In managing the Fund, ARK LLC applies investment strategies, techniques and analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these actions will produce the intended results. The ability of ARK LLC to potentially successfully implement the Fund's investment strategy, and decisions made by the ARK LLC pursuant to its investment strategy, will significantly influence the Fund's performance.

The Fund will invest under normal circumstances at least 65% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies that are deemed to be consistent with the Fund's investment theme of disruptive innovation. ARK LLC defines "disruptive innovation" as the introduction of a technologically enabled new product or service that potentially changes the way the world works. ARK LLC believes that companies included within this theme are those that rely on or benefit from the development of new products or services, technological improvements and advancements in scientific research relating to the areas of genomics; innovation in automation and manufacturing, transportation, energy, artificial intelligence and materials; the increased use of shared technology, infrastructure and services; and technologies that make financial services more efficient. ARK LLC defines "genomics" as the study of genes and their functions, and related techniques (e.g., genomic sequencing).

Information provided to or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by the Trust pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 can be located by reference to Commission file numbers 333-191019 and 811-22883, respectively, through the Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

|  **Calculation agent:** | MS & Co. |
|  **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 observation 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 Depository Trust Company (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 observation date as postponed.<br> In the event that the securities are subject to early redemption, the issuer shall, (i) on the business day following the applicable redemption determination date, give notice of the early redemption and the early redemption payment, including specifying the payment date of the 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.

|  **Tax considerations:** | **Prospective investors should note that the discussion under the section called "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying product supplement does not apply to the securities issued under this document and is superseded by the following discussion.** <br> The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences and certain estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities. This discussion applies only to investors in the securities who:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●purchase the securities in the original offering; and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●hold the securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). <br>This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder's particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●certain financial institutions;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●insurance companies;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●dealers and certain traders in securities or commodities;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●investors holding the securities as part of a "straddle," wash sale, conversion transaction, integrated transaction or constructive sale transaction;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●regulated investment companies;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●real estate investment trusts; or<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●tax-exempt entities, including "individual retirement accounts" or "Roth IRAs" as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively.<br>If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership holding the securities or a partner in such a partnership, you should consult your tax adviser as to the particular U.S. federal tax consequences of holding and disposing of the securities to you.<br> As the law applicable to the U.S. federal income taxation of instruments such as the securities is technical and complex, the discussion below necessarily represents only a general summary. The effect of any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws is not discussed, nor are any alternative minimum tax consequences or consequences resulting from the Medicare tax on investment income. Moreover, the discussion below does not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. <br> This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date hereof may affect the tax consequences described herein. Persons considering the purchase of the securities should consult their tax advisers with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.<br> **General**<br> Due to the absence of statutory, judicial or administrative authorities that directly address the  |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; treatment of the securities or instruments that are similar to the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. We intend to treat a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a single financial contract that provides for a coupon that will be treated as gross income to you at the time received or accrued in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, this treatment of the securities is reasonable under current law; however, our counsel has advised us that it is unable to conclude affirmatively that this treatment is more likely than not to be upheld, and that alternative treatments are possible. <br> **You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments of the securities). Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion is based on the treatment of each security as described in the previous paragraph.**<br> **Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders** <br> This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●a citizen or individual resident of the United States;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; or<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source. <br>***Tax Treatment of the Securities***<br> Assuming the treatment of the securities as set forth above is respected, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result.<br>*Tax Basis*. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in the securities should equal the amount paid by the U.S. Holder to acquire the securities.<br>*Tax Treatment of Coupon Payments*. Any coupon payment on the securities should be taxable as ordinary income to a U.S. Holder at the time received or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.<br>*Sale , Exchange or Settlement of the Securities*. Upon a sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, a U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or settlement and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the securities sold, exchanged or settled. For this purpose, the amount realized does not include any coupon paid at settlement and may not include sale proceeds attributable to an accrued coupon, which may be treated as a coupon payment. Any such gain or loss recognized should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the securities for more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or settlement, and should be short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. The ordinary income treatment of the coupon payments, in conjunction with the capital loss treatment of any loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or settlement of the securities, could result in adverse tax consequences to holders of the securities because the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.<br>***Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Securities*** <br> Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper tax treatment of the securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the treatment described above. In particular, the IRS could seek to analyze the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning the securities under Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments (the "Contingent Debt Regulations"). If the IRS were successful in asserting that the Contingent Debt Regulations applied to the securities, the timing and character of income thereon would be significantly affected. Among other things, a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue into income original issue discount on the securities <br>

Furthermore, any gain realized by a U.S. Holder at maturity or upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of the securities would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the U.S. Holder's prior accruals of original issue discount and as capital loss thereafter. The risk that financial instruments providing for buffers, triggers or similar downside protection features, such as the securities, would be recharacterized as debt is greater than the risk of recharacterization for comparable financial instruments that do not have such features. <br> Other alternative federal income tax treatments of the securities are possible, which, if applied, could significantly affect the timing and character of the income or loss with respect to the securities. In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. The notice focuses on whether to require holders of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange–traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; whether these instruments are or should be subject to the "constructive ownership" rule, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge; and appropriate transition rules and effective dates. While it is not clear whether instruments such as the securities would be viewed as similar to the prepaid forward contracts described in the notice, any 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. 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 and the issues presented by this notice. <br> ***Backup Withholding and Information Reporting*** <br> Backup withholding may apply in respect of payments on the securities and the payment of proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the securities, unless a U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In addition, information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the securities and the payment of proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the securities, unless the U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption from the information reporting rules. <br> **Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders** <br> This section applies to you only if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a security that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●a foreign corporation; or<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●a foreign estate or trust.<br> The term "Non-U.S. Holder" does not include any of the following holders: <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●certain former citizens or residents of the United States; or<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●a holder for whom income or gain in respect of the securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. <br>Such holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax <br>

 consequences of an investment in the securities. <br> Although significant aspects of the tax treatment of each security are uncertain, we intend to withhold on any coupon paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty under an "other income" or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the securities must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an exemption or reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the securities, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above. <br> ***Section 871(m) Withholding Tax on Dividend Equivalents***<br> 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, 2025 that do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security. Based on our determination 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). <br> 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 Section 871(m) 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.<br> ***U.S. Federal Estate Tax*** <br> Individual Non-U.S. Holders and entities the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers) should note that, absent an applicable treaty exemption, the securities may be treated as U.S.-situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax. Prospective investors that are non-U.S. individuals, or are entities of the type described above, should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of an investment in the securities. <br> ***Backup Withholding and Information Reporting*** <br> Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with any coupon payment and may be filed with the IRS in connection with the payment at maturity on the securities and the payment of proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition. A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, unless such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establishes an exemption. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. <br> **FATCA** <br> Legislation commonly referred to as "FATCA" generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the non-U.S. entity's jurisdiction may modify these requirements. FATCA generally <br>

|  | applies to certain financial instruments that are treated as paying U.S.-source interest or other U.S.-source "fixed or determinable annual or periodical" income ("FDAP income"). Withholding (if applicable) applies to payments of U.S.-source FDAP income and to payments of gross proceeds of the disposition (including upon retirement) of certain financial instruments treated as providing for U.S.-source interest or dividends. Under proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no withholding will apply on payments of gross proceeds (other than amounts treated as FDAP income). While the treatment of the securities is unclear, you should assume that any coupon payment with respect to the securities will be subject to the FATCA rules. If withholding applies to the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of FATCA to the securities. <br> **The discussion in the preceding paragraphs, insofar as it purports to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitutes 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.<br> On or prior to January 26, 2023, we expect to 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 underlying shares, in futures and/or options contracts on the underlying shares listed on major securities markets, 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 share price, and, therefore, could increase (i) the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on any redemption determination date so that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity for the early redemption payment, (ii) the coupon threshold level, which is the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on each observation date in order for you to earn a contingent quarterly coupon, and (iii) the downside threshold level, which is the price at or above which the underlying shares must close on the final observation date, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative price performance of the underlying shares at maturity. 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 observation 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 the underlying shares on the redemption determination dates and observation dates, and, accordingly, whether we redeem the securities prior to maturity, whether we pay a contingent quarterly coupon on the securities and the amount of cash you receive at maturity, if any. |
|  **Additional considerations:** | Client accounts over which Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management or any of their respective subsidiaries have investment discretion are **not** permitted to purchase the securities, either directly or indirectly. |
|  **Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest:** | Selected dealers, which may include our affiliates, and their financial advisors will collectively receive from the agent a fixed sales commission of $18.75 for each security they sell.<br> MS & Co. is an affiliate of MSFL and a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and it and other affiliates of ours expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the securities. <br> MS & Co. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm's distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. MS & Co. or any of our other affiliates may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account. See "Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" and "Use of Proceeds and Hedging" in the accompanying product supplement for auto-callable securities. |
