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 Index (as defined herein), and may be less than par. Given the highly specialised nature of these Notes, Morgan Stanley B.V. (the "Issuer") and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (hereafter, "MSI plc") consider that they are only suitable for highly sophisticated investors who are able to determine for themselves the risk of an investment linked to the Underlying Index, 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:
Adjustment and Discontinuation Risk: The sponsor of the Underlying Index (as defined herein) can add, delete or substitute stocks constituting the Underlying Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the Underlying Index 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.
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.
Credit Risk: The holder of the Notes will be exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor.
Exit Risk: The secondary market price of the Notes will depend on many factors, including the value and volatility of the Underlying Index, interest rates, the dividend rate on the Underlying Index, time remaining to maturity and the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the Guarantor. 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.
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 Index, in option contracts on the Underlying Index or positions in any other available securities or instruments. In addition, the Issuer and its affiliates trade the Underlying Index as part of their general businesses. Any of these activities could potentially affect the value of the Underlying Index 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 Index 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 4572
- 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 Index.
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 sponsor of the Underlying Index 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 Index, 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, MSI plc and their respective affiliates in accordance with the terms set out in Annex 2.
