Frequently Asked Questions

The detailed financial results are primarily contained within the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the financial data supplement (Exhibit 99.2) annexed to this 8-K filing. These documents are incorporated by reference and considered filed with the SEC.

The press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the financial data supplement (Exhibit 99.2) are deemed "filed" with the SEC under Item 2.02. The presentation (Exhibit 99.3), furnished under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), is not considered "filed" and therefore does not subject the company to liabilities under Section 18 of the Exchange Act for that information.

Investors should be cautious about placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements made in the filing, particularly within the presentation. These statements reflect current management estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Morgan Stanley does not commit to updating these statements.

The filing directs investors to review "Forward-Looking Statements" and other sections within Morgan Stanley's previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are available on the SEC's website and Morgan Stanley's investor relations website.
