Item 5.02.          Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e)          At the annual meeting of stockholders of Morgan Stanley (the “Company”) held on April 10, 2007, the Company’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), approved the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for various types of equity awards which may be made to officers, other employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and certain other persons. The types of awards authorized under the Plan include restricted stock, stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based or equity-related awards. An aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be delivered pursuant to awards. No awards may be made under the Plan after April 10, 2012.

A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10. The description of the Plan contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.

 

Item 8.01.          Other Events

The annual meeting of stockholders of the Company was held on April 10, 2007.

The stockholders voted on proposals to elect directors, to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor, and to approve the Plan. The stockholders also voted on stockholder proposals regarding simple majority vote and executive compensation advisory vote.

All nominees for election to the Board were elected for a term that will continue until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until the director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified (or the director’s earlier resignation, death or removal). The stockholders’ vote ratified the appointment of the independent auditor and approved the Plan. The stockholder proposal regarding simple majority vote was approved, and the stockholder proposal regarding executive compensation advisory vote was not approved. The number of votes cast for or against, and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal, is set forth below. The Company’s independent inspector of elections reported the vote of the stockholders as follows:
