Risk Considerations

The risks set forth below are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement. Please review those risk factors carefully prior to making an investment decision.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Buffered Securities

The Buffered Securities do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 5% of your principal.

The appreciation potential of the Buffered Securities is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.

The market price of the Buffered Securities will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.

The Buffered 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 Buffered Securities.

The Buffered 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 Buffered Securities.

The amount payable on the Buffered Securities is not linked to the price of the underlying commodity shares at any time other than the valuation date.

Investing in the Buffered Securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying commodity shares or in the commodity composing the underlying commodity shares.

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 Buffered Securities in the original issue price reduce the economic terms of the Buffered Securities, cause the estimated value of the Buffered Securities to be less than the original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market prices.

The estimated value of the Buffered Securities is $976.60 per Buffered Securities, or within $35.00 of that estimate, and 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.

The Buffered Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.

The calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the Buffered Securities.

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the Buffered Securities.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered Securities are uncertain.

Risks Relating to the Underlying Commodity Shares

Single commodity prices tend to be more volatile than, and may not correlate with, the prices of commodities generally.

The Buffered Securities are subject to risks associated with gold.

There are risks relating to trading of commodities on the London Bullion Market Association.

The performance and market price of the underlying commodity shares, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the performance of the underlying commodity or the net asset value per share of the underlying commodity shares.

Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in commodity and related futures markets could adversely affect the price of the Buffered Securities.

The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying commodity shares.

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the discussion in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement under the caption “Additional Information About the Buffered Securities–United States Federal Taxation” concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered Securities, and you should consult your tax adviser.
