ON MARCH 5, 2018, MORGAN STANLEY BECAME SUBJECT TO A DECISION BY THE PORTUGUESE SECURITIES MARKET COMMISSION (CMVM) IN WHICH
THE CMVM ISSUED THE FIRM A CAUTION FOR THE WILLFUL BREACH OF (I) THE DUTY TO NOTIFY THE CMVM OF ITS QUALIFYING HOLDING, AND (II) THE
DUTY TO NOTIFY THE ISSUING COMPANY OF ITS QUALIFYING HOLDING. THE CMVM ALSO REMINDED THE FIRM THAT IT IS UNDER STRICT LEGAL
OBLIGATIONS THAT MUST BE COMPLIED WITH. THE CMVM SPECIFICALLY NOTED THAT, IN QUALIFYING THE FIRM'S CONDUCT AS WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE FIRM (SPECIFICALLY) ACTED WITH THE GOAL OF BREACHING THE LEGAL NORM IN QUESTION.
