Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition 
 
On April 18, 2018, Morgan Stanley (the "Company") released financial information with respect to its quarter ended March 31, 2018.  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.  In addition, a copy of the Company's Financial Data Supplement for its quarter ended March 31, 2018 is annexed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

The information furnished under Item 2.02 of this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
 
Item 8.01.   Other Events
 
On April 18, 2018, Morgan Stanley (the “Company”) entered into a sales plan (the “Plan”) with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG”) and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”) whereby MUFG will sell shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) to the Company, through its agent MS & Co., as part of the Company’s share repurchase program.  The Plan is only intended to maintain MUFG’s ownership percentage of the Common Stock below 24.9% in order to comply with MUFG’s passivity commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  MUFG’s ownership percentage increases as the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock is reduced as the Company purchases Common Stock under its share repurchase program.  The Plan will have no impact on the strategic alliance between MUFG and the Company, including the joint venture in Japan.
