| Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On April 17, 2014, Morgan Stanley (the "Registrant") released financial information with respect to its quarter ended March 31, 2014. A copy of the press release containing this information is annexed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

| Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
In the E.U., beginning on January 1, 2014, the Company’s compensation practices with respect to certain employees who are identified as “Code Staff” became subject to the Capital Requirements Directive IV adopted on June 26, 2013 (“CRD IV”). Under CRD IV, the variable compensation of Code Staff employees is limited by reference to the level of their fixed compensation and is subject to other restrictions. The Company, in consultation with its regulators in the U.K., has restructured the fixed compensation of Code Staff employees of the Company to remain competitive with respect to compensation on a global basis so that we can continue to recruit and retain the most qualified employees while complying with CRD IV. Effective as of January 1, 2014, Code Staff employees of the Company are eligible to receive fixed compensation in the form of one or more Directors and Officers allowances based on their specific roles and responsibilities within the Company. Directors and Officers allowances will be payable annually in cash and/or in shares of Company common stock at the end of the relevant year, subject to specified terms and conditions.
On April 14, 2014, the Compensation, Management Development and Succession Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved the Director and Officer allowance program described above for members of the Company’s Operating Committee who are identified as “Code Staff,” including the Company’s President of Institutional Securities. The Committee will determine for each Operating Committee member identified as “Code Staff” the appropriate allowances payable to that member based on their roles and responsibilities. Once approved, these allowances will be reviewed with the Committee at least annually and are subject to change for, among other reasons, a change in the Operating Committee member’s roles and responsibilities and the regulatory environment.
