Risk
Considerations
The risks set forth below are discussed in
more detail in the “Risk Factors” section in the accompanying
preliminary terms. Please review those risk factors carefully prior
to making an investment decision.
Risks Relating to an
Investment in the Trigger PLUS
●The
Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee return of any
principal.
●The
appreciation potential of the Trigger PLUS is limited by the
maximum payment at maturity.
●The
market price will be influenced by many unpredictable
factors.
●The
Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger
PLUS.
●As
a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will
have no independent assets.
●The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is approximately $934.40 per
Trigger PLUS, or within $55.00 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
amount payable on the Trigger PLUS is not linked to the values of
the underlying indices at any time other than the valuation
date.
●Investing
in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the
underlying indices.
●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 Trigger PLUS in the original
issue price reduce the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS, cause
the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS to be less than the
original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market
prices.
●The
Trigger PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and
secondary trading may be limited.
●Hedging
and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially adversely
affect the value of the Trigger PLUS.
●The
calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an
affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the
Trigger PLUS.
●The
U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
Trigger PLUS are uncertain.
Risks Relating to the
Underlying Indices
●You
are exposed to the price risk of each underlying
index.
●Because
the Trigger PLUS are linked to the performance of the worst
performing underlying index, you are exposed to greater risk of
sustaining a significant loss on your investment than if the
Trigger PLUS were linked to just one underlying
index.
●The
Trigger PLUS are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and
are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization
companies.
●Adjustments
to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the
Trigger PLUS.
