Item 8.01 Other Events. On June 24, 2026, Morgan Stanley (the “Company”) announced it will increase its quarterly common stock dividend to $1.15 per share from the current $1.00 per share, beginning with the common stock dividend expected to be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in the quarter ending September 30, 2026 (the “third quarter”). In addition, the Board reauthorized a multi-year common equity share repurchase program of up to $20 billion, without a set expiration date, beginning in the third quarter. The share repurchases will be exercised from time to time at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to various considerations, including current market conditions, the Company’s capital position and future economic and earnings outlook. On June 24, 2026, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) published summary results of its 2026 supervisory stress tests, which do not impact the Company’s Stress Capital Buffer (“SCB”) requirement. On February 4, 2026, the Federal Reserve announced that it expects the Company will continue to be subject to its current SCB requirement of 4.3% until October 1, 2027, at which time a new SCB requirement may apply based on the results of the supervisory stress test conducted in 2027. A copy of the press release relating to this announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
