Knock-Out Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index due December 12, 2011
General
·
The notes are designed for investors who seek to participate in the appreciation of the S&P 500® Index at maturity and who anticipate that the Index Closing Value on the Valuation Date and during the approximately 18-month Observation Period will not have declined, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than 38.7%.  Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the Index Closing Value has declined on any index business day during the Observation Period, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than 38.7%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal based on the decline in value of the Underlying Index over the term of the notes.  If the value of the Underlying Index has not declined on any index business day during the Observation Period, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than 38.7%, investors will receive the greater of (a) the Underlying Index Return and (b) the Contingent Minimum Return 0% at maturity.
·
Senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley maturing December 12, 2011.  All payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.
·
Minimum purchase of $10,000.  Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
·
The notes priced on June 4, 2010 and are expected to settle on or about June 11, 2010.
Key Terms
Underlying Index:
S&P 500® Index
Knock-Out Event:
A Knock-Out Event occurs if, on any index business day during the Observation Period, the Index Closing Value has decreased, as compared to the Initial Index Value, by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount.
Knock-Out Buffer Amount:
38.7%
Payment at Maturity:
If a Knock-Out Event HAS NOT occurred during the Observation Period, you will receive a cash payment at maturity per note equal to $1,000 plus a return equal to $1,000 times the greater of (i) the Contingent Minimum Return and (ii) the Underlying Index Return.  Since the Contingent Minimum Return is 0%, you will only receive the repayment of your principal at maturity, without any positive return on your investment, if the Underlying Index declines in value but without triggering a Knock-Out Event. For additional clarification, please see “What is the Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Underlying Index?” on page 2.
 
If a Knock-Out Event HAS occurred during the Observation Period, you will receive a cash payment at maturity that will reflect the percentage appreciation or depreciation in the Index Closing Value on a 1 to 1 basis.  Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + ($1,000 x Underlying Index Return)
 
If a Knock-Out Event has occurred, you will lose some or all of your investment if the Final Index Value has declined from the Initial Index Value.  There is no minimum payment at maturity and you could lose your entire investment.
Contingent Minimum Return:
0%
Observation Period:
The period that includes each index business day on which a market disruption event does not occur from and including the first index business day immediately following the Pricing Date to and including the Valuation Date.  The Observation Period will extend to the date on which the Final Index Value is determined if the Valuation Date is postponed in accordance with the definition thereof.
Monitoring:
Closing Level
Index Closing Value:
On any day, the index closing value for the Underlying Index

Final Index Value:
The Index Closing Value on the Valuation Date
Valuation Date:
December 7, 2011
Maturity Date:
December 12, 2011
Pricing Date:
June 4, 2010

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity
 
The following examples illustrate how the return on the notes set forth in the table on the previous page are calculated.
 
Example 1:  A Knock-Out Event HAS occurred, and the Index Closing Value decreases from the Initial Index Value of 1,000 to a Final Index Value of 500.  Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the investor does not receive the benefit of the Contingent Minimum Return of 0% and is therefore exposed to the negative performance of the Underlying Index on a 1 to 1 basis.  The investor receives a payment at maturity based on the Underlying Index Return of –50%, which is significantly less than the stated principal amount, calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + ($1,000 x –50%)  = $500
 
Example 2:  A Knock-Out Event HAS occurred, and the Index Closing Value increases from the Initial Index Value of 1,000 to a Final Index Value of 1,025.  Because a Knock-Out Event has occurred, the investor is exposed to the performance of the Underlying Index on a 1 to 1 basis.  The investor receives a payment at maturity based on the Underlying Index Return of 2.50%, calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + ($1,000 x 2.50%)  = $1,025
 
Example 3:  A Knock-Out Event has NOT occurred, and the Index Closing Value increases from the Initial Index Value of 1,000 to a Final Index Value of 1,200.  Because the Underlying Index Return of 20% is greater than the Contingent Minimum Return of 0%, the investor receives a payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + ($1,000 x 20%)  = $1,200
 
Example 4:  A Knock-Out Event has NOT occurred, and the Index Closing Value decreases from the Initial Index Value of 1,000 to a Final Index Value of 950.  Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Underlying Index Return of -5.00% is less than the Contingent Minimum Return of 0%, the investor receives the benefit of the Contingent Minimum Return and therefore receives a payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + ($1,000 x 0%)  = $1,000

Selected Purchase Considerations
 
 
·
APPRECIATION POTENTIAL  The notes provide the opportunity to participate in the appreciation of the Underlying Index at maturity.  If a Knock-Out Event HAS NOT occurred, because of the Contingent Minimum Return, you will receive at maturity no less than the $1,000 principal amount for each note.  Since the Contingent Minimum Return is 0%, you will only receive the repayment of your principal at maturity, without any positive return on your investment, if the Underlying Index declines in value but without triggering a Knock-Out Event.  However, if a Knock-Out Event HAS occurred, you could lose a significant portion of your investment based on a 1% loss for every 1% decline in the Final Index Value, as compared to the Initial Index Value.  Even if a Knock-Out Event has occurred, if the Final Index Value is greater than the Initial Index Value, in addition to the principal amount, you will receive at maturity a return on the notes equal to the Underlying Index Return.  Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
 
 
·
DIVERSIFICATION OF THE S&P 500® Index — The return on the notes is linked to the S&P 500® Index.  The S&P 500® Index, which is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor’s, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets.  The calculation of the S&P 500® Index is based on the relative value of the float adjusted aggregate market capitalization of the 500 component companies as of a particular time as compared to the aggregate average market capitalization of the 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.  For additional information about the Underlying Index, see the information set forth under “S&P 500® Index” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for knock-out notes dated January 8, 2010.
 
 
·
CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Knock-Out Notes, which contains the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes.  Under current law and based on that opinion, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for Knock-Out Notes, we believe that it is reasonable to treat your purchase and ownership of the notes as an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Assuming this characterization is respected, your gain or loss on the notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for more than a year, even if you are an initial purchaser of notes at a price that is below the principal amount of the notes.  The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court, however, may not respect this characterization or treatment of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected.  Because the notes provide for the return of principal except in the case of a Knock-Out Event, the risk that they will be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt instruments giving rise to ordinary income, rather than as an open transaction, is higher than with other non-principal protected equity-linked notes.  On December 7, 2007, the 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 instruments such as the notes 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 exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which any income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these investments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gains as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge.  While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, Treasury regulations or other forms of guidance, if any, issued after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of this kind of investment, possibly with retroactive effect.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of the notes, including possible alternative characterizations in general and the possible impact of this notice in particular.

Selected Risk Considerations
 
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.  Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying Index or any of the component stocks of the Underlying Index.  These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying prospectus supplement for knock-out notes dated January 8, 2010. 
 
 
·
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we do not guarantee to pay you the principal amount of the notes at maturity and do not pay you interest on the notes.  If a Knock-Out Event occurs during the approximately 18-month Observation Period, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Index Closing Value.  If a Knock-Out Event has occurred and the Final Index Value is less than the Initial Index Value, the payment at maturity on each note will be less, and may be significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the notes and consequently, the entire principal amount of your investment is at risk.
 
 
·
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST – Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity.
 
 
·
NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS – As a holder of the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Underlying Index would have.
 
 
·
THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF MORGAN STANLEY, AND ANY ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED CHANGES TO ITS CREDIT RATINGS OR CREDIT SPREADS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF THE NOTES – You are dependent on Morgan Stanley’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes at maturity, and therefore you are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley.  If Morgan Stanley defaults on its obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment.  As a result, the market value of the notes prior to maturity will be affected by changes in the market’s view of Morgan Stanley's creditworthiness.  Any actual or anticipated decline in Morgan Stanley’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Morgan Stanley credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the notes.
 
 
·
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full stated principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agents’ commissions and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates.  The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions.  As a result, the price, if any, at which affiliates of Morgan Stanley will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be significantly lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.  Secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions.  The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.  Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
 
 
·
LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.  Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes.  Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“MS & Co.”) may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes.  Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily.  Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact.  If, at any time, MS & Co. were not to make a market in the notes, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the notes.  Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes to maturity.
 
 
·
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes.  In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.  We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the Underlying Index and the notes.
 
 
 
5

 
 
 
 
·
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the value of the Underlying Index on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
 
 
·
the value, especially in relation to the Knock-Out Buffer Amount and the expected volatility of the Underlying Index;
 
·
the time to maturity of the notes;
 
·
the dividend rates on the common stocks underlying the Underlying Index;
 
·
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
 
·
geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and
 
·
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades 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 notes prior to maturity.  For example, you may have to sell your notes at a substantial discount from the stated principal amount if a Knock-Out Event has occurred or is likely to imminently occur in light of the then-current level of the Underlying Index.

You cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying Index based on its historical performance.  We cannot guarantee that a Knock-Out Event will not occur or that the Underlying Index Return will be positive so that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the principal amount of the notes.  You can review the historical values of the Underlying Index in “Historical Information” below.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging
 
Part of the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our subsidiaries.  The hedging or trading activities of our affiliates on or prior to the Pricing Date and during the Observation Period, including on the Valuation Date, could affect the value of the Underlying Index in a way that may reduce the amount you will receive on the notes at maturity.
 
Historical Information
 
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the S&P 500® Index based on the daily historical closing values of the Underlying Index from January 1, 2005 through June 4, 2010.  The closing value of the Underlying Index on June 4, 2010 was 1,064.88.  We obtained the closing values of the Underlying Index below from Bloomberg Financial Markets.  We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.
 
The historical values of the Underlying Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Index Closing Value during the Observation Period or on the Valuation Date.  We cannot give you any assurance that the Index Closing Value  will increase or that a Knock-Out Event will not occur so that at maturity you will receive a payment in excess of the stated principal amount of the notes.

Benefit Plan Investor Considerations
 
Your purchase of a note in a self-directed Individual Retirement Account (an “IRA”) will be deemed to be a representation and warranty by you that, as of the date of purchase (i) neither the issuer, the placement agent nor any of their respective affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the investment of the assets of such self-directed IRA used to purchase the note or renders investment advice (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA) with respect to any such IRA assets and (ii) in connection with the purchase of the note, such self-directed IRA will pay no more than “adequate consideration” (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA), and, in making the foregoing representations and warranties, you have (x) applied sound business principles in determining whether fair market value will be paid, and (y) made such determination acting in good faith.
