under the Program for the Issuance of Notes, Series A and B, Warrants and Certificates
The Base Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (each, a "Relevant Member State") (and any amendments, including Directive 2010/73/EU (the "2010 PD Amending Directive"), to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of the Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Distribution Agent to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Distribution Agent has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in any other circumstances.
THE NOTES ARE SENIOR UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS OF MORGAN STANLEY, AND ALL PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES, INCLUDING THE REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF MORGAN STANLEY. THE NOTES ARE NOT BANK DEPOSITS AND ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, NOR ARE THEY OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED BY, A BANK.
PART A – CONTRACTUAL TERMS
THE NOTES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ARE SUBJECT TO U.S. TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS. THE NOTES DESCRIBED HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR DELIVERED AT ANY TIME, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN EITHER REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR, IN THE CASE OF BEARER NOTES, THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED). SEE "SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE" AND "NO OWNERSHIP BY U.S. PERSONS" IN THE BASE PROSPECTUS DATED 10 JUNE 2011. IN PURCHASING THE NOTES, PURCHASERS WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT THEY ARE NEITHER LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES NOR A U.S. PERSON AND THAT THEY ARE NOT PURCHASING FOR, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY SUCH PERSON. THE NOTES ARE NOT RATED.
This document constitutes Final Terms relating to the issue of Notes described herein. Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Terms and Conditions of the English Law Notes set forth in the Base Prospectus dated 10 June 2011 which constitutes a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC) (the "Prospectus Directive"). This document constitutes the Final Terms of the Notes described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and must be read in conjunction with such Base Prospectus. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Notes is only available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectus.

INFORMATION CONCERNING INVESTMENT RISK
Noteholders and prospective purchasers of Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. The amount payable on redemption of the Notes is linked to the performance of the Underlying (as defined herein), and may be less than par. Given the highly specialised nature of these Notes, Morgan Stanley (the "Issuer") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ("MSI plc") consider that they are only suitable for highly
Series 5056
sophisticated investors who are able to determine for themselves the risk of an investment linked to the Underlying, are willing to take risks and can absorb the partial or complete loss of their initial investment. Consequently, if you are not an investor who falls within the description above you should not consider purchasing these Notes without taking detailed advice from a specialised professional adviser.
Potential investors are urged to consult with their legal, regulatory, investment, accounting, tax and other advisors with regard to any proposed or actual investment in these Notes. Please see the Base Prospectus for a full detailed description of the Notes and in particular, please review the Risk Factors associated with these Notes. Investing in the Notes entails certain risks including, but not limited to, the following:
Adjustments by the Determination Agent: The terms and conditions of the Notes will allow the Determination Agent to make adjustments or take any other appropriate action if circumstances occur where the Notes or any exchanges are affected by market disruption, adjustment events or circumstances affecting normal activities.
Adjustment and Discontinuation Risk: The sponsor of the relevant Underlying (as defined herein) can add, delete or substitute stocks constituting the Underlying or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the Underlying without regard to the interests of holders of the Notes. Any of these decisions/determinations may adversely affect the value of the Notes and may result in the investor receiving a return that is materially different from that he/she would have received if the event had not occurred.
The Underlying Fund Manager (as defined herein) can add, delete or substitute stocks constituting the relevant Underlying or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the relevant Underlying without regard to the interests of holders of the Notes. Any of these decisions/determinations may adversely affect the value of the Notes and may result in the investor receiving a return that is materially different from that he/she would have received if the event had not occurred.
Credit Risk: The holder of the Notes will be exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer.
Exit Risk: The principal amount is not protected. Potential Investors run the risk that they may receive an amount which is significantly less than their initial investment. The secondary market price of the Notes will depend on many factors, including the value and volatility of the Underlying, the level of the Underlying at any time on any day and the time left until the maturity of the Notes, the dividend rate of the stocks that compose the Underlying, time remaining to maturity and the creditworthiness of the Issuer. The secondary market price may be lower than the market value of the issued Notes as at the Issue Date to take into account amounts paid to distributors and other intermediaries relating to the issue and sale of the Notes as well as amounts relating to the hedging of the Issuer's obligations. As a result of all of these factors, the holder may receive an amount in the secondary market which may be less than the then intrinsic market value of the Note and which may also be less than the amount the holder would have received had the holder held the Note through to maturity.
Basket Components Risk: The Notes will be redeemed at an amount determined by reference to the performance of the Basket Components and such performance will therefore affect the nature and value of the investment return on the Notes. Noteholders and prospective purchasers of Notes should conduct their own investigations and, in deciding whether or not to purchase Notes, prospective purchasers should form their own views of the merits of an investment related to the Basket Components based upon such investigations and not in reliance on any information given in these final terms.
Hedging Risk: On or prior to and after the Trade Date, the Issuer, through its affiliates or others, will likely hedge its anticipated exposure under the Notes by taking positions in the stocks that comprise the Underlying, in option contracts on the Underlying or positions in any other available securities or instruments. In addition, the Issuer and its affiliates trade the Underlying as part of their general businesses. Any of these activities could potentially affect the value of the Underlying including on the Determination Date, and accordingly, could significantly affect the payout to holders on the Notes.
Liquidity Risk: The Dealer will make a secondary market in the Notes on a reasonable efforts basis only and subject to market conditions, law, regulation and internal policy. The liquidity of the Notes reflects the liquidity of the Underlying and even whilst there may be a secondary market in the Notes it may not be liquid enough to facilitate a sale by the holder.
Series 5056
- 2 -
No Shareholder Rights: A holder of Notes will have no beneficial interest in or any voting rights and will not have the right to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to the stocks composing the Underlying.
Potential Conflict of Interest: The Determination Agent (MSI plc) is an affiliate of the Issuer and the economic interests of the Determination Agent may be adverse to the interests of holders of the Notes. Determinations made by the Determination Agent, including in the event of a market disruption may affect the amount payable to holders pursuant to the terms of the Notes.
Underlying Sponsor Risk: The sponsors of the Underlying are not affiliates of the Issuer or its affiliates and are not involved with this offering in any way. Consequently, the Issuer and the Determination Agent have no ability to control the actions of the sponsors of the Underlying, including any rebalancing that could trigger an adjustment to the terms of the Notes by the Determination Agent.
In purchasing any Notes, purchasers will be deemed to represent and undertake to the Issuer, the Dealer and each of their affiliates that (i) such purchaser understands the risks and potential consequences associated with the purchase of the Notes, (ii) that such purchaser has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, investment, accounting, tax and other advisers to extent it believes is appropriate to assist it in understanding and evaluating the risks involved in, and the consequences of, purchasing the Notes and (iii) in accordance with the terms set out in Annex 2.
