under the national legislation of Member States, be required to bear the costs of translating the Base Prospectus before the

legal proceedings are initiated. Civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled the summary, including any

translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other

parts of the Base Prospectus or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the Base Prospectus, key

information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in the Warrants.

A.2 Consent by the Issuer will be required for the use of this Base Prospectus in relation to any subsequent resale or

Section D – Risks

D.2 Key risks

regarding the

Issuer and the

Guarantor

The following key risks affect the Guarantor and, indirectly, the Issuer:

Market Risk: The Guarantor’s results of operations may be materially affected by market

fluctuations and by global and economic conditions and other factors. Holding large and

concentrated positions may expose the Guarantor to losses. These factors may result in losses for

a position or portfolio owned by the Guarantor.

Credit Risk: The Guarantor is exposed to the risk that third parties that are indebted to it will not

perform their obligations, as well as that a default by a large financial institution could adversely

affect financial markets. Such factors give rise to the risk of loss arising when a borrower,

counterparty or issuer does not meet its financial obligations to the Guarantor.

Operational Risk: The Guarantor is subject to the risk of loss, or of damage to its reputation,

resulting from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or from external events (e.g.

fraud, theft, legal and compliance risks, cyber attacks or damage to physical assets). The

Guarantor may incur operational risk across the full scope of its business activities, including

revenue-generating activities (e.g. sales and trading) and support and control groups (e.g.

information technology and trade processing).

Liquidity and Funding Risk: Liquidity is essential to the Guarantor’s businesses and the Guarantor

relies on external sources to finance a significant portion of its operations. The Guarantor’s

borrowing costs and access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on its credit ratings.

The Guarantor is a holding company and depends on payments from its subsidiaries. Further, the

Guarantor’s liquidity and financial condition have in the past been, and in the future could be,

Page 17: MORGAN STANLEY ASIA PRODUCTS LIMITED · PDF fileMORGAN STANLEY ASIA PRODUCTS LIMITED (incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands) ... In the case of American Style Warrants,

adversely affected by U.S. and international markets and economic conditions. As a result of the

foregoing, there is a risk that the Guarantor will be unable to finance its operations due to a loss of

access to the capital markets or difficulty in liquidating its assets; or be unable to meet its financial

obligations without experiencing significant business disruption or reputational damage that may

threaten its viability as a going concern.

Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Risk: The Guarantor is subject to the risk of legal or regulatory

sanctions, material financial loss including fines, penalties, judgments, damages and/or

settlements, or loss to reputation it may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with laws,

regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organisation standards and codes of conduct applicable

to its business activities. The Guarantor is also subject to contractual and commercial risk, such as

the risk that a counterparty’s performance obligations will be unenforceable. Additionally, the

Guarantor is subject to anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules and regulations.

Further, in today’s environment of rapid and possibly transformational regulatory change, the

Guarantor also views regulatory change as a component of legal, regulatory and compliance risk.

Risk Management: The Guarantor’s risk management strategies, models and processes may not be

fully effective in mitigating its risk exposures in all market environments or against all types of

risk.

Competitive Environment: The Guarantor faces strong competition from other financial services

firms, which could lead to pricing pressures that could materially adversely affect its revenue and

profitability. Further, automated trading markets may adversely affect the Guarantor’s business

and may increase competition (for example by putting increased pressure on bid-offer spreads,

commissions, markups or comparable fees). Finally, the Guarantor’s ability to retain and attract

qualified employees is critical to the success of its business and the failure to do so may materially

adversely affect its performance.

International Risk: The Guarantor is subject to numerous political, economic, legal, operational,

franchise and other risks as a result of its international operations (including risks of possible

nationalisation, expropriation, price controls, capital controls, exchange controls, increased taxes

and levies and other restrictive governmental actions, as well as the outbreak of hostilities or

political and governmental instability) which could adversely impact its businesses in many ways.

Acquisition, Divestiture and Joint Venture Risk: The Guarantor may be unable to fully capture the

expected value from acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, minority stakes and strategic

alliances.

Risk Relating to the Exercise of Potential Resolution Measures Powers: The application of

regulatory requirements and strategies in the United States to facilitate the orderly resolution of

large financial institutions may pose a greater risk of loss for the holders of securities issued or

guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

D.6 Key information

on the key risks

that are specific to

the Warrants

The Warrants are being issued with the intention that they will be purchased only by corporations,

partnerships and other entities or individuals having such knowledge and experience in financial

and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the

Warrants, who are experienced in investing in derivative instruments and who are familiar with

secondary market trading in instruments such as the Warrants. Prospective investors should

conduct independent investigation and analysis regarding the Warrants and the other assets on

which the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor to which the value of the Warrants relate as

they deem appropriate.

The price of the Warrants may fall in value and investors may lose the value of their entire

investment if, among other reasons:

the value of the relevant underlying basis of reference does not move in the anticipated

direction;

the Issuer and the Guarantor are unable to pay any amounts due under the Warrants;

the price and/or value of the assets underlying the Warrants are influenced by the

Page 18: MORGAN STANLEY ASIA PRODUCTS LIMITED · PDF fileMORGAN STANLEY ASIA PRODUCTS LIMITED (incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands) ... In the case of American Style Warrants,

political, financial and economic stability of the country and/or region in which it is

incorporated or has a place of business;

the Guarantor’s credit rating has fallen due to a perception of a fall in the Guarantor’s

creditworthiness; or

adjustments to the Warrants made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the terms of the

Warrants.

An investment in Warrants linked to Shares is not directly an investment in the Shares.

Warrantholders will not have any rights in relation to the underlying assets nor will it have any

recourse to the relevant issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor has an ability to control or

predict any actions of the issuer of the underlying Shares.

The Issuer may limit the number of Warrants that are exercisable on any date (other than the final

exercise date).

The Warrants may be amended, or the Warrants may be terminated or suspended, in each case by

the Issuer, if an Additional Disruption Event has occurred.

Investments in Unitary Warrants linked to shares of a non-US Issuer require certain

considerations, for example, different accounting treatments and regulations, different securities

or commodity trading rules and conventions and different economic environments. Investments in

emerging market countries may entail additional risks such as risk of market shutdown, greater

governmental involvement in the economy and, in some cases, greater volatility, unpredictability

and economic and political instability and higher risk of civil or international conflict or war.

Warrantholders will also be exposed to currency exchange rate risks. Investments in emerging

markets may involve significant risk of loss. There is a risk that the Issuer may not be able to

make payments in respect of the Warrants due to actions taken by a government authority in the

Relevant Jurisdiction in which the investor is located. This may cause additional administrative

burden or costs on the investor in obtaining any payments due under the Warrants.

Section E – Offer

E.2b Reason for the

offer and use of
