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 Buffered PLUS
●The
Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at
maturity of only 20% of the stated principal
amount.
●The
market price of the Buffered PLUS will be influenced by many
unpredictable factors.
●The
Buffered 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 Buffered
PLUS.
●As
a finance subsidiary, MSFL has no independent operations and will
have no independent assets.
●The
amount payable on the Buffered PLUS is not linked to the values of
the underlying indices at any time other than the valuation
date.
●Investing
in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in either
underlying index.
●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 PLUS in the original
issue price reduce the economic terms of the Buffered PLUS, cause
the estimated value of the Buffered PLUS to be less than the
original issue price and will adversely affect secondary market
prices.
●The
estimated value of the Buffered PLUS is $949.70 per Buffered PLUS,
or within $45.00 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 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 Buffered PLUS.
●The
calculation agent, which is a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an
affiliate of MSFL, will make determinations with respect to the
Buffered PLUS.
●The
U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
Buffered PLUS are uncertain.
Risks Relating to the
Underlying Indices
●You
are exposed to the price risk of both underlying
indices.
●Because
the Buffered PLUS are linked to the performance of the worst
performing underlying index, you are exposed to greater risk of
sustaining a loss on your investment than if the Buffered PLUS were
linked to just one underlying index.
●Adjustments
to the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the
Buffered PLUS.
Tax
Considerations
You should review carefully the discussion
in the accompanying preliminary terms under the caption “Additional
Information About the Buffered PLUS–Tax considerations” concerning
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
Buffered PLUS, and you should consult your tax
adviser.
