Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GS Finance Corp., guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., is offering $7.725 million of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Index-Linked Notes due July 7, 2028. The notes are part of Goldman’s Series F medium-term note program and reference three equity benchmarks: the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), Russell 2000 Index (RTY) and S&P 500 Index (SPX).

Income mechanics

  • Contingent monthly coupon of $9.792 per $1,000 face (0.9792% monthly, up to ~11.75% p.a.).
  • Coupon is paid only if the closing level of each index on the observation date is ≥ 70% of its initial level (the “coupon trigger”).

Automatic call feature

  • Beginning October 2025, the notes are automatically redeemed at par (plus the related coupon) if, on any call observation date, each index is ≥ its initial level.
  • Early redemption shortens duration but caps total income.

Principal repayment

  • If not called, at maturity investors receive:
      • Par, provided every index closes ≥ 60% of its initial level (“trigger buffer”).
      • Otherwise, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with the worst-performing index, potentially to $0.
  • No participation in upside beyond par—maximum redemption is 100% of face plus final coupon.

Key economic terms

  • Initial index levels: NDXT 11,647.79; RTY 2,226.377; SPX 6,227.42.
  • Coupon/Call observation dates: monthly Aug 2025 – Jul 2028 (see schedule).
  • Price: 100% of face; underwriting discount 0.382%; net proceeds 99.618%.
  • Estimated value on trade date: not less than par (exact figure not disclosed).

Principal risks highlighted

  • Total loss of investment if any index finishes < 60% of start level.
  • Coupon is non-guaranteed; investors may receive zero income for the entire term.
  • No upside participation; gains in referenced indices above par do not increase payoff.
  • Exposure to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. (issuer) and Goldman Sachs Group (guarantor).
  • Limited liquidity; GS &Co. may—but is not obliged to—make a market.
  • Concentration risk: NDXT is tech-heavy; RTY represents small-caps; SPX large-caps.

Tax & distribution

  • Sidley Austin LLP opinion: notes treated as income-bearing prepaid derivative contracts; coupons taxed as ordinary income; treatment uncertain.
  • GS &Co. (affiliate) acts as underwriter and market-maker, creating a FINRA Rule 5121 conflict of interest.

Investor takeaway: The product targets investors seeking elevated potential income (up to ~11.75% p.a.) and willing to accept significant downside risk, lack of upside participation, issuer credit exposure, and the possibility of receiving no coupons. A 60% buffer offers conditional protection, but below that threshold principal is impaired dollar-for-dollar, potentially to zero.

GS Finance Corp., garantita da The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., offre 7,725 milioni di dollari in Note Indicizzate a Cedola Contingente Autocallable con scadenza 7 luglio 2028. Le note fanno parte del programma di obbligazioni a medio termine Serie F di Goldman e fanno riferimento a tre indici azionari: il Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), il Russell 2000 Index (RTY) e l'S&P 500 Index (SPX).

Meccanismo di rendimento

  • Cedola mensile contingente di 9,792 dollari per ogni 1.000 dollari nominali (0,9792% mensile, fino a circa 11,75% annuo).
  • La cedola viene corrisposta solo se il livello di chiusura di ogni indice alla data di osservazione è ≥ 70% del livello iniziale (la “condizione di attivazione della cedola”).

Funzione di richiamo automatico

  • A partire da ottobre 2025, le note vengono rimborsate automaticamente alla pari (più la cedola relativa) se, in una qualsiasi data di osservazione per il richiamo, ogni indice è ≥ al livello iniziale.
  • Il rimborso anticipato riduce la durata ma limita il rendimento totale.

Rimborso del capitale

  • Se non richiamate, alla scadenza gli investitori ricevono:
      • Il valore nominale, a condizione che ogni indice chiuda ≥ 60% del livello iniziale (“buffer di protezione”).
      • Altrimenti, il rimborso viene ridotto in modo proporzionale all’indice peggior performante, potenzialmente fino a 0 dollari.
  • Non è prevista partecipazione agli aumenti oltre la pari—il rimborso massimo è il 100% del valore nominale più la cedola finale.

Termini economici chiave

  • Livelli iniziali degli indici: NDXT 11.647,79; RTY 2.226,377; SPX 6.227,42.
  • Date di osservazione cedola/richiamo: mensili da agosto 2025 a luglio 2028 (vedi calendario).
  • Prezzo: 100% del nominale; sconto di sottoscrizione 0,382%; proventi netti 99,618%.
  • Valore stimato alla data di negoziazione: non inferiore alla pari (valore esatto non divulgato).

Rischi principali evidenziati

  • Perdita totale dell’investimento se uno qualsiasi degli indici chiude sotto il 60% del valore iniziale.
  • La cedola è non garantita; gli investitori potrebbero non ricevere alcun reddito per tutta la durata.
  • Nessuna partecipazione al rialzo; i guadagni degli indici sopra la pari non aumentano il rendimento finale.
  • Esposizione al rischio di credito di GS Finance Corp. (emittente) e Goldman Sachs Group (garante).
  • Liquidità limitata; GS &Co. può—ma non è obbligata a—creare un mercato.
  • Rischio di concentrazione: NDXT è fortemente tecnologico; RTY rappresenta le small cap; SPX le large cap.

Fiscalità e distribuzione

  • Parere di Sidley Austin LLP: le note sono considerate contratti derivati prepagati con rendimento; le cedole sono tassate come reddito ordinario; trattamento fiscale incerto.
  • GS &Co. (affiliata) agisce come sottoscrittore e market-maker, generando un conflitto di interessi secondo la Regola FINRA 5121.

Considerazioni per l’investitore: Il prodotto è destinato a investitori che cercano un potenziale rendimento elevato (fino a circa 11,75% annuo) e sono disposti ad accettare un significativo rischio di ribasso, assenza di partecipazione al rialzo, esposizione al rischio di credito dell’emittente e la possibilità di non ricevere cedole. Un buffer del 60% offre una protezione condizionata, ma al di sotto di tale soglia il capitale viene ridotto in modo proporzionale, potenzialmente fino a zero.

Reembolso del principal

      • De lo contrario, el reembolso se reduce uno a uno con el índice de peor desempeño, potencialmente hasta 0 dólares.
  • No hay participación en la subida por encima del valor nominal—el reembolso máximo es el 100% del nominal más el cupón final.

  • Liquidez limitada; GS &Co. puede—pero no está obligado a—hacer mercado.
  • Riesgo de concentración: NDXT es tecnológico; RTY representa small caps; SPX large caps.

Fiscalidad y distribución

  • Opinión de Sidley Austin LLP: las notas se tratan como contratos derivados prepagados que generan ingresos; los cupones se gravan como ingresos ordinarios; tratamiento fiscal incierto.
  • GS &Co. (afiliada) actúa como suscriptor y creador de mercado, generando un conflicto de intereses según la Regla FINRA 5121.

Conclusión para el inversor: El producto está dirigido a inversores que buscan un potencial ingreso elevado (hasta aproximadamente 11,75% anual) y están dispuestos a aceptar un riesgo significativo de caída, ausencia de participación en la subida, exposición al riesgo crediticio del emisor y la posibilidad de no recibir cupones. Un buffer del 60% ofrece protección condicional, pero por debajo de ese umbral el principal se reduce dólar por dólar, potencialmente hasta cero.

GS Finance Corp.The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.의 보증을 받아 7,725만 달러 규모의 자동상환 조건부 쿠폰 지수 연동 노트를 2028년 7월 7일 만기일로 발행합니다. 이 노트는 골드만삭스의 시리즈 F 중기채 프로그램의 일부이며, 세 가지 주가지수를 참조합니다: 나스닥-100 기술 섹터 지수(NDXT), 러셀 2000 지수(RTY), S&P 500 지수(SPX).

수익 구조

  • 명목 1,000달러당 월 9.792달러의 조건부 월별 쿠폰(월 0.9792%, 연 최대 약 11.75%).
  • 쿠폰은 관찰일에 지수의 종가가 초기 수준의 70% 이상인 경우에만 지급됩니다(“쿠폰 조건”).

자동 상환 기능

  • 2025년 10월부터, 콜 관찰일에 지수가 초기 수준 이상이면 노트가 액면가(및 관련 쿠폰)로 자동 상환됩니다.
  • 조기 상환은 만기 기간을 단축하지만 총 수익을 제한합니다.

원금 상환

  • 콜되지 않은 경우 만기 시 투자자는:
      • 모든 지수가 초기 수준의 60% 이상으로 마감하면 액면가를 받습니다(“보호 버퍼”).
      • 그렇지 않으면, 가장 성과가 저조한 지수에 따라 1대1 비율로 원금이 감액되며, 최악의 경우 0달러까지 손실이 발생할 수 있습니다.
  • 상승분에 대한 참여는 없으며, 최대 상환금액은 액면가 100%와 최종 쿠폰입니다.

주요 경제 조건

  • 초기 지수 수준: NDXT 11,647.79; RTY 2,226.377; SPX 6,227.42.
  • 쿠폰/콜 관찰일: 2025년 8월부터 2028년 7월까지 매월(일정 참조).

  • 쿠폰은 보장되지 않음; 투자자는 전체 기간 동안 수익을 받지 못할 수 있음.
  • 상승 참여 없음; 지수 상승이 수익에 반영되지 않음.
  • GS Finance Corp.(발행자) 및 Goldman Sachs Group(보증인)의 신용 위험 노출.
  • 유동성 제한; GS &Co.는 시장 조성을 할 수 있으나 의무는 아님.
  • 집중 위험: NDXT는 기술주 중심, RTY는 중소형주, SPX는 대형주 대표.

세금 및 배포

  • Sidley Austin LLP 의견: 노트는 소득 발생 선불 파생상품 계약으로 간주되며, 쿠폰은 일반 소득으로 과세됨; 세금 처리 불확실.
  • GS &Co.(계열사)가 인수 및 시장 조성자로 활동하여 FINRA 규칙 5121에 따른 이해 상충 발생.

투자자 요약: 이 상품은 연간 약 11.75%까지의 높은 잠재 수익을 추구하며, 상당한 하락 위험, 상승 참여 부재, 발행자 신용 위험, 쿠폰 미지급 가능성을 감수할 투자자를 대상으로 합니다. 60% 버퍼는 조건부 보호를 제공하지만, 이 수준 아래에서는 원금이 1대1 비율로 손실되어 최악의 경우 0이 될 수 있습니다.

Mécanisme de revenu

  • Le coupon est versé uniquement si le niveau de clôture de chaque indice à la date d’observation est ≥ 70 % de son niveau initial (le « déclencheur de coupon »).

Option de rappel automatique

  • À partir d’octobre 2025, les billets sont automatiquement remboursés à leur valeur nominale (plus le coupon associé) si, à une date d’observation de rappel, chaque indice est ≥ à son niveau initial.
  • Le remboursement anticipé réduit la durée mais plafonne le revenu total.

Remboursement du capital

      • La valeur nominale, à condition que chaque indice clôture ≥ 60 % de son niveau initial (« tampon de protection »).
      • Sinon, le remboursement est réduit au prorata de l’indice le moins performant, pouvant aller jusqu’à 0 $.
  • Aucune participation à la hausse au-delà de la valeur nominale — le remboursement maximal est de 100 % du nominal plus le coupon final.

  • Exposition au risque de crédit de GS Finance Corp. (émetteur) et Goldman Sachs Group (garant).
  • Liquidité limitée ; GS &Co. peut, mais n’est pas obligé, d’assurer un marché.
  • Risque de concentration : NDXT est fortement technologique ; RTY représente les petites capitalisations ; SPX les grandes capitalisations.

Fiscalité et distribution

  • Avis de Sidley Austin LLP : les billets sont traités comme des contrats dérivés prépayés générant un revenu ; les coupons sont imposés comme des revenus ordinaires ; traitement fiscal incertain.
  • GS &Co. (filiale) agit en tant que souscripteur et teneur de marché, créant un conflit d’intérêts selon la règle FINRA 5121.

Conclusion pour l’investisseur : Ce produit s’adresse aux investisseurs recherchant un revenu potentiel élevé (jusqu’à environ 11,75 % par an) et prêts à accepter un risque de baisse significatif, l’absence de participation à la hausse, l’exposition au risque de crédit de l’émetteur et la possibilité de ne pas recevoir de coupons.

GS Finance Corp., garantiert von The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., bietet 7,725 Millionen US-Dollar in autocallbaren, bedingten Kupon-Index-gebundenen Schuldverschreibungen mit Fälligkeit am 7. Juli 2028 an. Die Notes sind Teil des Medium-Term-Note-Programms Serie F von Goldman und beziehen sich auf drei Aktienindizes: den Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), den Russell 2000 Index (RTY) und den S&P 500 Index (SPX).

Einkommensmechanik

  • Bedingter monatlicher Kupon von 9,792 USD pro 1.000 USD Nennwert (monatlich 0,9792%, bis zu ca. 11,75% p.a.).
  • Der Kupon wird nur gezahlt, wenn der Schlusskurs von jedem Index am Beobachtungstag ≥ 70% des Anfangswerts beträgt (der „Kupon-Auslöser“).

Automatische Rückrufoption

  • Ab Oktober 2025 werden die Notes automatisch zum Nennwert (plus zugehörigem Kupon) zurückgezahlt, wenn an einem Rückruf-Beobachtungstag jeder Index ≥ seinem Anfangswert ist.
  • Frühzeitige Rückzahlung verkürzt die Laufzeit, begrenzt aber das Gesamteinkommen.

Kapitalrückzahlung

  • Wenn nicht zurückgerufen, erhalten Anleger bei Fälligkeit:
      • Den Nennwert, sofern jeder Index ≥ 60% seines Anfangswerts schließt („Schutzpuffer“).
      • Andernfalls wird die Rückzahlung eins zu eins mit dem schlechtesten Index reduziert, möglicherweise bis auf 0 USD.
  • Keine Teilnahme an Kurssteigerungen über den Nennwert hinaus—maximale Rückzahlung beträgt 100% des Nennwerts plus den finalen Kupon.

Wesentliche wirtschaftliche Bedingungen

  • Anfängliche Indexstände: NDXT 11.647,79; RTY 2.226,377; SPX 6.227,42.
  • Kupon-/Rückruf-Beobachtungstermine: monatlich von August 2025 bis Juli 2028 (siehe Zeitplan).
  • Preis: 100 % des Nennwerts; Underwriting-Rabatt 0,382%; Nettoerlös 99,618 %.
  • Geschätzter Wert am Handelstag: nicht unter pari (genaue Zahl nicht offengelegt).

Hervorgehobene Hauptrisiken

  • Totalausfall der Investition, falls ein Index unter 60 % des Anfangswerts schließt.
  • Kupon ist nicht garantiert; Anleger können während der gesamten Laufzeit keine Erträge erhalten.
  • Keine Aufwärtsbeteiligung; Gewinne der referenzierten Indizes über pari erhöhen die Auszahlung nicht.
  • Exponierung gegenüber dem Kreditrisiko von GS Finance Corp. (Emittent) und Goldman Sachs Group (Garantiegeber).
  • Begrenzte Liquidität; GS &Co. kann, ist aber nicht verpflichtet, einen Markt stellen.
  • Konzentrationsrisiko: NDXT ist technologieorientiert; RTY repräsentiert Small Caps; SPX Large Caps.

Steuerliche Behandlung & Vertrieb

  • Gutachten von Sidley Austin LLP: Die Notes werden als einkommensgenerierende, vorausbezahlte Derivate behandelt; Kupons werden als gewöhnliches Einkommen besteuert; steuerliche Behandlung ungewiss.
  • GS &Co. (Tochtergesellschaft) fungiert als Underwriter und Market Maker, was einen Interessenkonflikt gemäß FINRA Regel 5121 darstellt.

Fazit für Anleger: Das Produkt richtet sich an Anleger, die ein hohes potenzielles Einkommen (bis zu ca. 11,75 % p.a.) anstreben und bereit sind, erhebliche Abwärtsrisiken, keine Aufwärtsbeteiligung, Emittenten-Kreditrisiken und die Möglichkeit, keine Kupons zu erhalten, zu akzeptieren. Ein 60%-Puffer bietet bedingten Schutz, aber unterhalb dieser Schwelle wird das Kapital eins zu eins reduziert, potenziell bis auf null.

Positive
  • Potential income of up to ~11.75% per annum if monthly triggers are satisfied.
  • 60% trigger buffer provides conditional principal protection against moderate market declines.
  • Automatic call feature may return capital early at par plus coupon if markets perform.
  • Issuer/guarantor is Goldman Sachs Group, a large investment-grade financial institution.
Negative
  • Total principal loss possible if any index ends below 60% of initial level at maturity.
  • Coupons are not guaranteed; one index below the 70% trigger cancels that month’s payment.
  • No participation in upside; best-case redemption is par, capping returns.
  • Credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
  • Limited liquidity and potential price discounts in secondary market trading.

Insights

TL;DR – High coupon opportunity, but contingent and capped; downside and credit risks substantial.

The 424B2 outlines a classic Goldman contingent-coupon autocall. A 0.9792% monthly payout looks attractive versus short-term rates, yet it is entirely conditional on all three indices staying ≥ 70% initial. Historically, at least one of RTY or NDXT has breached that level in stressed markets, implying meaningful probability of missed coupons. The 60% buffer provides partial protection, but a 40%+ drawdown is not rare for RTY. Because the redemption value never exceeds par, investors forego any equity upside—this is effectively selling deep downside protection for enhanced carry. Automatic call could truncate returns if markets rally early, creating reinvestment risk. From a valuation standpoint, the 0.382% fee is modest, but the undisclosed estimated value likely sits a few points below issue price after modeling. Risk-adjusted, I view the structure as neutral (rating 0); suitable only for sophisticated yield-seekers comfortable with equity tail risk.

TL;DR – Potential to lose 100% with no equity upside; risk-return skew unfavorable.

The note embeds short put exposure to the worst-performing of three volatile indices, while offering limited compensation. In a recessionary or high-volatility scenario, coupons cease and principal erodes below the 60% barrier. The worst-of characteristic amplifies probability of loss relative to single-index products. Additionally, investors face unsecured credit exposure to Goldman. Secondary liquidity is uncertain and mark-to-model pricing may be steeply discounted in turbulent markets. Given these factors, the instrument’s downside dominates its capped upside, meriting a negative impact assessment.

Conclusión para el inversor: El producto está dirigido a inversores que buscan un potencial ingreso elevado (hasta aproximadamente 11,75% anual) y están dispuestos a aceptar un riesgo significativo de caída, ausencia de participación en la subida, exposición al riesgo crediticio del emisor y la posibilidad de no recibir cupones. Un buffer del 60% ofrece protección condicional, pero por debajo de ese umbral el principal se reduce dólar por dólar, potencialmente hasta cero.

GS Finance Corp.The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.의 보증을 받아 7,725만 달러 규모의 자동상환 조건부 쿠폰 지수 연동 노트를 2028년 7월 7일 만기일로 발행합니다. 이 노트는 골드만삭스의 시리즈 F 중기채 프로그램의 일부이며, 세 가지 주가지수를 참조합니다: 나스닥-100 기술 섹터 지수(NDXT), 러셀 2000 지수(RTY), S&P 500 지수(SPX).

수익 구조

  • 명목 1,000달러당 월 9.792달러의 조건부 월별 쿠폰(월 0.9792%, 연 최대 약 11.75%).
  • 쿠폰은 관찰일에 지수의 종가가 초기 수준의 70% 이상인 경우에만 지급됩니다(“쿠폰 조건”).

자동 상환 기능

  • 2025년 10월부터, 콜 관찰일에 지수가 초기 수준 이상이면 노트가 액면가(및 관련 쿠폰)로 자동 상환됩니다.
  • 조기 상환은 만기 기간을 단축하지만 총 수익을 제한합니다.

원금 상환

  • 콜되지 않은 경우 만기 시 투자자는:
      • 모든 지수가 초기 수준의 60% 이상으로 마감하면 액면가를 받습니다(“보호 버퍼”).
      • 그렇지 않으면, 가장 성과가 저조한 지수에 따라 1대1 비율로 원금이 감액되며, 최악의 경우 0달러까지 손실이 발생할 수 있습니다.
  • 상승분에 대한 참여는 없으며, 최대 상환금액은 액면가 100%와 최종 쿠폰입니다.

주요 경제 조건

  • 초기 지수 수준: NDXT 11,647.79; RTY 2,226.377; SPX 6,227.42.
  • 쿠폰/콜 관찰일: 2025년 8월부터 2028년 7월까지 매월(일정 참조).
  • 가격: 액면가 100%; 인수 수수료 0.382%; 순수익 99.618%.
  • 거래일 기준 추정 가치: 액면가 이상 (정확한 수치는 공개되지 않음).

주요 위험 사항

  • 어느 하나의 지수가 초기 수준의 60% 미만으로 마감할 경우 투자금 전액 손실.
  • 쿠폰은 보장되지 않음; 투자자는 전체 기간 동안 수익을 받지 못할 수 있음.
  • 상승 참여 없음; 지수 상승이 수익에 반영되지 않음.
  • GS Finance Corp.(발행자) 및 Goldman Sachs Group(보증인)의 신용 위험 노출.
  • 유동성 제한; GS &Co.는 시장 조성을 할 수 있으나 의무는 아님.
  • 집중 위험: NDXT는 기술주 중심, RTY는 중소형주, SPX는 대형주 대표.

세금 및 배포

  • Sidley Austin LLP 의견: 노트는 소득 발생 선불 파생상품 계약으로 간주되며, 쿠폰은 일반 소득으로 과세됨; 세금 처리 불확실.
  • GS &Co.(계열사)가 인수 및 시장 조성자로 활동하여 FINRA 규칙 5121에 따른 이해 상충 발생.

투자자 요약: 이 상품은 연간 약 11.75%까지의 높은 잠재 수익을 추구하며, 상당한 하락 위험, 상승 참여 부재, 발행자 신용 위험, 쿠폰 미지급 가능성을 감수할 투자자를 대상으로 합니다. 60% 버퍼는 조건부 보호를 제공하지만, 이 수준 아래에서는 원금이 1대1 비율로 손실되어 최악의 경우 0이 될 수 있습니다.

GS Finance Corp., garantie par The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., propose 7,725 millions de dollars de billets indexés à coupon conditionnel autocallable arrivant à échéance le 7 juillet 2028. Ces billets font partie du programme de billets à moyen terme Série F de Goldman et référencent trois indices boursiers : le Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), le Russell 2000 Index (RTY) et le S&P 500 Index (SPX).

Mécanisme de revenu

  • Coupon mensuel conditionnel de 9,792 $ par tranche de 1 000 $ nominal (0,9792 % mensuel, jusqu’à environ 11,75 % par an).
  • Le coupon est versé uniquement si le niveau de clôture de chaque indice à la date d’observation est ≥ 70 % de son niveau initial (le « déclencheur de coupon »).

Option de rappel automatique

  • À partir d’octobre 2025, les billets sont automatiquement remboursés à leur valeur nominale (plus le coupon associé) si, à une date d’observation de rappel, chaque indice est ≥ à son niveau initial.
  • Le remboursement anticipé réduit la durée mais plafonne le revenu total.

Remboursement du capital

  • Si non rappelés, à l’échéance, les investisseurs reçoivent :
      • La valeur nominale, à condition que chaque indice clôture ≥ 60 % de son niveau initial (« tampon de protection »).
      • Sinon, le remboursement est réduit au prorata de l’indice le moins performant, pouvant aller jusqu’à 0 $.
  • Aucune participation à la hausse au-delà de la valeur nominale — le remboursement maximal est de 100 % du nominal plus le coupon final.

Principaux termes économiques

  • Niveaux initiaux des indices : NDXT 11 647,79 ; RTY 2 226,377 ; SPX 6 227,42.
  • Dates d’observation des coupons/rappels : mensuelles d’août 2025 à juillet 2028 (voir calendrier).
  • Prix : 100 % du nominal ; escompte de souscription 0,382 % ; produit net 99,618 %.
  • Valeur estimée à la date de transaction : pas inférieure à la valeur nominale (chiffre exact non divulgué).

Risques principaux mis en avant

  • Perte totale de l’investissement si un indice clôture sous 60 % de son niveau initial.
  • Le coupon est non garanti ; les investisseurs peuvent ne recevoir aucun revenu pendant toute la durée.
  • Aucune participation à la hausse ; les gains des indices référencés au-dessus de la valeur nominale n’augmentent pas le paiement.
  • Exposition au risque de crédit de GS Finance Corp. (émetteur) et Goldman Sachs Group (garant).
  • Liquidité limitée ; GS &Co. peut, mais n’est pas obligé, d’assurer un marché.
  • Risque de concentration : NDXT est fortement technologique ; RTY représente les petites capitalisations ; SPX les grandes capitalisations.

Fiscalité et distribution

  • Avis de Sidley Austin LLP : les billets sont traités comme des contrats dérivés prépayés générant un revenu ; les coupons sont imposés comme des revenus ordinaires ; traitement fiscal incertain.
  • GS &Co. (filiale) agit en tant que souscripteur et teneur de marché, créant un conflit d’intérêts selon la règle FINRA 5121.

Conclusion pour l’investisseur : Ce produit s’adresse aux investisseurs recherchant un revenu potentiel élevé (jusqu’à environ 11,75 % par an) et prêts à accepter un risque de baisse significatif, l’absence de participation à la hausse, l’exposition au risque de crédit de l’émetteur et la possibilité de ne pas recevoir de coupons. Un tampon de 60 % offre une protection conditionnelle, mais en dessous de ce seuil, le capital est réduit au prorata, pouvant aller jusqu’à zéro.

GS Finance Corp., garantiert von The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., bietet 7,725 Millionen US-Dollar in autocallbaren, bedingten Kupon-Index-gebundenen Schuldverschreibungen mit Fälligkeit am 7. Juli 2028 an. Die Notes sind Teil des Medium-Term-Note-Programms Serie F von Goldman und beziehen sich auf drei Aktienindizes: den Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT), den Russell 2000 Index (RTY) und den S&P 500 Index (SPX).

Einkommensmechanik

  • Bedingter monatlicher Kupon von 9,792 USD pro 1.000 USD Nennwert (monatlich 0,9792%, bis zu ca. 11,75% p.a.).
  • Der Kupon wird nur gezahlt, wenn der Schlusskurs von jedem Index am Beobachtungstag ≥ 70% des Anfangswerts beträgt (der „Kupon-Auslöser“).

Automatische Rückrufoption

  • Ab Oktober 2025 werden die Notes automatisch zum Nennwert (plus zugehörigem Kupon) zurückgezahlt, wenn an einem Rückruf-Beobachtungstag jeder Index ≥ seinem Anfangswert ist.
  • Frühzeitige Rückzahlung verkürzt die Laufzeit, begrenzt aber das Gesamteinkommen.

Kapitalrückzahlung

  • Wenn nicht zurückgerufen, erhalten Anleger bei Fälligkeit:
      • Den Nennwert, sofern jeder Index ≥ 60% seines Anfangswerts schließt („Schutzpuffer“).
      • Andernfalls wird die Rückzahlung eins zu eins mit dem schlechtesten Index reduziert, möglicherweise bis auf 0 USD.
  • Keine Teilnahme an Kurssteigerungen über den Nennwert hinaus—maximale Rückzahlung beträgt 100% des Nennwerts plus den finalen Kupon.

Wesentliche wirtschaftliche Bedingungen

  • Anfängliche Indexstände: NDXT 11.647,79; RTY 2.226,377; SPX 6.227,42.
  • Kupon-/Rückruf-Beobachtungstermine: monatlich von August 2025 bis Juli 2028 (siehe Zeitplan).
  • Preis: 100 % des Nennwerts; Underwriting-Rabatt 0,382%; Nettoerlös 99,618 %.
  • Geschätzter Wert am Handelstag: nicht unter pari (genaue Zahl nicht offengelegt).

Hervorgehobene Hauptrisiken

  • Totalausfall der Investition, falls ein Index unter 60 % des Anfangswerts schließt.
  • Kupon ist nicht garantiert; Anleger können während der gesamten Laufzeit keine Erträge erhalten.
  • Keine Aufwärtsbeteiligung; Gewinne der referenzierten Indizes über pari erhöhen die Auszahlung nicht.
  • Exponierung gegenüber dem Kreditrisiko von GS Finance Corp. (Emittent) und Goldman Sachs Group (Garantiegeber).
  • Begrenzte Liquidität; GS &Co. kann, ist aber nicht verpflichtet, einen Markt stellen.
  • Konzentrationsrisiko: NDXT ist technologieorientiert; RTY repräsentiert Small Caps; SPX Large Caps.

Steuerliche Behandlung & Vertrieb

  • Gutachten von Sidley Austin LLP: Die Notes werden als einkommensgenerierende, vorausbezahlte Derivate behandelt; Kupons werden als gewöhnliches Einkommen besteuert; steuerliche Behandlung ungewiss.
  • GS &Co. (Tochtergesellschaft) fungiert als Underwriter und Market Maker, was einen Interessenkonflikt gemäß FINRA Regel 5121 darstellt.

Fazit für Anleger: Das Produkt richtet sich an Anleger, die ein hohes potenzielles Einkommen (bis zu ca. 11,75 % p.a.) anstreben und bereit sind, erhebliche Abwärtsrisiken, keine Aufwärtsbeteiligung, Emittenten-Kreditrisiken und die Möglichkeit, keine Kupons zu erhalten, zu akzeptieren. Ein 60%-Puffer bietet bedingten Schutz, aber unterhalb dieser Schwelle wird das Kapital eins zu eins reduziert, potenziell bis auf null.

The issue price, underwriting discount and net proceeds listed above relate to the notes we sell initially. We may decide to sell additional notes after the date of this pricing supplement, at issue prices and with underwriting discounts and net proceeds that differ from the amounts set forth above. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such notes.

GS Finance Corp. may use this prospectus in the initial sale of the notes. In addition, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or any other affiliate of GS Finance Corp. may use this prospectus in a market-making transaction in a note after its initial sale. Unless GS Finance Corp. or its agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this prospectus is being used in a market-making transaction.

We have not authorized anyone to provide any information or to make any representations other than those contained in or incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement and the accompanying documents listed above. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may provide. This pricing supplement and the accompanying documents listed above are an offer to sell only the notes offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying documents listed above is current only as of the respective dates of such documents.

We refer to the notes we are offering by this pricing supplement as the “offered notes” or the “notes”. Each of the offered notes has the terms described below. Please note that in this pricing supplement, references to “GS Finance Corp.”, “we”, “our” and “us” mean only GS Finance Corp. and do not include its subsidiaries or affiliates, references to “The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.”, our parent company, mean only The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and do not include its subsidiaries or affiliates and references to “Goldman Sachs” mean The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, including us.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES

The following examples are provided for purposes of illustration only. The examples should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and merely are intended to illustrate (i) the impact that the various hypothetical closing levels of the underliers on a coupon observation date could have on the coupon payable, if any, on the related coupon payment date and (ii) the impact that the various hypothetical closing levels of the lesser performing underlier on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant and are not intended to predict the closing levels of the underliers.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to a call payment date or the stated maturity date. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to a call payment date or the stated maturity date, as the case may be, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the examples below, such as interest rates, the volatility of the underliers, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor. The information in the examples also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

 

Key Terms and Assumptions

 

Face amount

$1,000

Coupon

$9.792 (0.9792% monthly, or the potential for up to approximately 11.75% per annum)

Coupon trigger level

with respect to each underlier, 70% of its initial underlier level

Trigger buffer level

with respect to each underlier, 60% of its initial underlier level

 

The notes are not automatically called, unless otherwise indicated below

Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on any originally scheduled coupon observation date or call observation date or the originally scheduled determination date

No change in or affecting any of the underlier stocks or the method by which the applicable underlier sponsor calculates any underlier

Notes purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to a call payment date or the stated maturity date

 

For these reasons, the actual performance of the underliers over the life of your notes, the actual underlier levels on any call observation date or coupon observation date, as well as the coupon payable, if any, on each coupon payment date, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlier levels shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes.

Hypothetical Coupon Payments

The examples below show the hypothetical coupon, if any, that we would pay on each coupon payment date with respect to each $1,000 face amount of the notes if the hypothetical closing level of each underlier on the applicable coupon observation date was the percentage of its initial underlier level shown.

In Scenario 1, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier has increased or decreased relative to the initial underlier level on each hypothetical coupon observation date. On the coupon payment dates relating to coupon observation dates on which the hypothetical closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its coupon trigger level, you will receive a coupon payment. However, on the coupon payment dates relating to coupon observation dates on which the hypothetical closing level of at least one underlier is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not receive a coupon payment.

In Scenario 2, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier has increased or decreased relative to the initial underlier level on each hypothetical coupon observation date. However, you will not receive a coupon payment on any coupon payment date because in each case the hypothetical closing level of at least one underlier on the related coupon observation date is less than its coupon trigger level. The overall return you earn on your notes will be zero or less.

In Scenario 3, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier is less than its coupon trigger level on the first two hypothetical coupon observation dates, but increases to a level that is greater than its initial underlier level on the third hypothetical coupon observation date. Because the hypothetical closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier level on the third hypothetical coupon observation date (which is also the first hypothetical call observation date), your notes will be automatically called. Therefore, on the corresponding hypothetical call payment date, in addition to the coupon payment, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes.

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity

If the notes are not automatically called on any call observation date, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver for each $1,000 face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date will depend on the performance of the lesser performing underlier on the determination date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that the notes have not been automatically called on a call observation date and does not include the final coupon, if any. If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not be paid a final coupon at maturity.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels of the lesser performing underlier and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level of the lesser performing underlier. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier, and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier and the assumptions noted above.

As shown in the table above, if the notes have not been automatically called on a call observation date:

If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier were determined to be 12.500% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 12.500% of the face amount of your notes.
As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 87.500% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment).
If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier were determined to be 200.000% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be limited to 100.000% of each $1,000 face amount of your notes.
As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier over its initial underlier level.

SELECTED RISK FACTORS

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks summarized below. These risks, as well as other risks and considerations, are explained in more detail in the accompanying documents listed above under “About Your Prospectus”. You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in such accompanying documents. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier stocks (i.e., with respect to an underlier to which your notes are linked, the stocks comprising such underlier). You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are appropriate given your particular circumstances.

Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

The Estimated Value of Your Notes At Any Time (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Will Reflect Many Factors and Cannot Be Predicted

The estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, as determined by reference to GS&Co.’s pricing models and taking into account our credit spreads, is not less than the face amount of your notes. Thereafter, the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these models could be lower than the face amount of your notes and will be affected by changes in market conditions, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor, and other relevant factors. If GS&Co. buys or sells your notes (if it makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) it will do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to such pricing models at that time. The price at which GS&Co. will buy or sell your notes at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

In estimating the value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, GS&Co.’s pricing models consider certain variables, including principally our credit spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to maturity of the notes. These pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of your notes determined by reference to our models due to, among other things, any differences in pricing models or assumptions used by others. See “The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” below.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by GS&Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness or the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. These changes may adversely affect the value of your notes, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price will reflect the estimated value determined by reference to GS&Co.’s pricing models at that time, plus or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount. This commission or discount will further reduce the proceeds you would receive for your notes in a secondary market sale.

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes — Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market” in the accompanying general terms supplement.

The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor

Investors are dependent on our ability and the ability of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes, to pay all amounts due on the notes. Therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk, and to changes in the market’s view of the creditworthiness, of the issuer and the guarantor. See “Description of the Notes We May Offer — Information About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series F Program — How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Guarantee by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.” in the accompanying prospectus.

You May Lose Your Entire Investment

Assuming your notes are not automatically called, if the final underlier level of any underlier is less than its trigger buffer level, you will have a loss for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes equal to the product of the lesser performing underlier return times $1,000. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.

Also, the market price of your notes prior to a call payment date or the stated maturity date, as the case may be, may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.

 

PS-8


 

The Return on Your Notes May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Level of the Lesser Performing Underlier

While a decrease in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier to its trigger buffer level will not result in a loss of principal on the notes, a decrease in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier to less than its trigger buffer level will result in a loss of a significant portion of the face amount of the notes despite only a small change in the level of the lesser performing underlier.

You May Not Receive a Coupon on Any Coupon Payment Date

If the closing level of any underlier on the related coupon observation date is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not receive a coupon payment on the applicable coupon payment date. If this occurs on every coupon observation date, the overall return you earn on your notes will be zero or less and will be less than you would have earned by investing in a note that bears interest at the prevailing market rate.

You should be aware that, with respect to any prior coupon observation dates that did not result in the payment of a coupon, you will not be compensated for any opportunity cost implied by inflation and other factors relating to the time value of money.

Your Notes Are Subject to Automatic Redemption

We will automatically call and redeem all, but not part, of your notes on a call payment date if, as measured on any call observation date, the closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier level. Therefore, the term for your notes may be significantly reduced. You may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the notes are automatically called prior to maturity. For the avoidance of doubt, if your notes are automatically called, no discounts, commissions or fees described herein will be rebated or reduced.

The Coupon Does Not Reflect the Actual Performance of the Underliers from the Trade Date to Any Coupon Observation Date or from Coupon Observation Date to Coupon Observation Date

The coupon for each coupon payment date is different from, and may be less than, a coupon determined based on the percentage difference of the closing levels of the underliers between the trade date and any coupon observation date or between two coupon observation dates.

The Cash Settlement Amount Will Be Based Solely on the Lesser Performing Underlier

If the notes are not automatically called, the cash settlement amount will be based on the lesser performing underlier without regard to the performance of any other underlier, even if there is an increase in the level of any other underlier.

You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlier Stock

Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any of the underlier stocks. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of your notes will have any rights with respect to the underlier stocks, including any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights to make a claim against the underlier stocks or any other rights of a holder of the underlier stocks. Payments on your notes will be made in cash and you will have no right to receive delivery of any underlier stocks.

The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors

When we refer to the market value of your notes, we mean the value that you could receive for your notes if you chose to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of your notes, including:

the levels of the underliers;
the volatility — i.e., the frequency and magnitude of changes — in the closing levels of the underliers;
the dividend rates of the underlier stocks;
economic, financial, regulatory, political, military, public health and other events that affect stock markets generally and the underlier stocks, and which may affect the closing levels of the underliers;
interest rates and yield rates in the market;
the time remaining until your notes mature; and
our creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., whether actual or perceived, and including actual or anticipated upgrades or downgrades in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or changes in other credit measures.

Without limiting the foregoing, the market value of your notes may be negatively impacted by increasing interest rates. Such adverse impact of increasing interest rates could be significantly enhanced in notes with longer-dated maturities, the market values of which are generally more sensitive to increasing interest rates.

These factors may influence the market value of your notes if you sell your notes before maturity, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. If you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes. You cannot predict the future performance of the underliers based on their historical performance.

Additional Risks Related to the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index

An Investment in the Offered Notes Is Subject to Risks Associated with Foreign Securities Markets

The value of your notes is linked to one or more underliers that are comprised of stocks from one or more foreign securities markets. Investments linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve particular risks, including with respect to liquidity and volatility. Both government intervention in a foreign securities market, either directly or indirectly, and cross-shareholdings in foreign companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in that market. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

The prices of securities in a foreign country are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that are unique to such foreign country's geographical region. Further, geographical regions may react to global factors in different ways, which may cause the prices of securities in a foreign securities market to fluctuate in a way that differs from those of securities in the U.S. securities market or other foreign securities markets.

The Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index is Concentrated in the Technology Industry and Does Not Provide Diversified Exposure

The Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index is not diversified. The Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index’s assets are concentrated in the technology industry, which means the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index is more likely to be more adversely affected by any negative performance of the technology industry than an index that has more diversified holdings across a number of sectors. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a major effect on the value of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index’s constituents. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology are particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the technology industry may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.

As Compared to Other Index Sponsors, Nasdaq, Inc. Retains Significant Control and Discretionary Decision-Making Over the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index, Which May Have an Adverse Effect on the Level of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and on Your Notes

Pursuant to the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index methodology, Nasdaq, Inc. retains the right, from time to time, to exercise reasonable discretion as it deems appropriate in order to ensure Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index integrity, including, but not limited to, changes to quantitative inclusion criteria. Nasdaq, Inc. may also, due to special circumstances, apply discretionary adjustments to ensure and maintain quality of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index. Although it is unclear how and to what extent this discretion could or would be exercised, it is possible that it could be exercised by Nasdaq, Inc. in a manner that materially and adversely affects the level of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and therefore your notes. Nasdaq, Inc. is not obligated to, and will not, take account of your interests in exercising the discretion described above.

Risks Related to Tax

The Tax Consequences of an Investment in Your Notes Are Uncertain

The tax consequences of an investment in your notes are uncertain, both as to the timing and character of any inclusion of income in respect of your notes.

Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, GS Finance Corp. intends to continue treating the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below unless and until such time as Congress, the Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service determine that some other treatment is more appropriate. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your notes in your particular circumstances.

Historical Closing Levels of the Underliers

The closing levels of the underliers have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations.

Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the levels of each underlier between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes. You should not take the historical levels of an underlier as an indication of the future performance of that underlier.

The graphs below show the daily historical closing levels of each underlier from January 2, 2020 through July 2, 2025. We obtained the closing levels in the graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification. Although the official closing levels of the Russell 2000® Index are published to six decimal places by the underlier sponsor, Bloomberg Financial Services reports the levels of the Russell 2000® Index to fewer decimal places.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses how your notes should be characterized and treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in your notes are uncertain. The following section is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel to GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. You will be obligated pursuant to the terms of the notes - in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary - to characterize each note for all tax purposes as an income-bearing pre-paid derivative contract in respect of the underliers, as described under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying general terms supplement. Pursuant to this approach, it is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP that it is likely that coupon payments will be taxed as ordinary income in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a non-United States holder of the notes, we intend to withhold on coupon payments made to you at a 30% rate or at a lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In addition, upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, it would be reasonable for you to recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash you receive at such time (excluding any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid coupon payments, which will be taxable as described above) and your tax basis in your notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, since the appropriate U.S. federal income tax characterization and treatment of your notes are uncertain, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could assert a different characterization and treatment than that described immediately above. In this case, the timing and character of income, gain or loss recognized with respect to your notes could substantially differ from that described above.

In addition, we have determined that, as of the issue date of the notes, the notes will not be subject to dividend equivalent withholding under section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “871 withholding rules”). In certain circumstances, however, it is possible for non-United States holders to be liable for tax under the 871 withholding rules with respect to a combination of transactions entered into in connection with each other even when no withholding is required. Non-United States holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the potential application of the 871 withholding rules to an investment in the notes.

Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in “United States Taxation—Taxation of Debt Securities—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to the FATCA withholding rules.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying general terms supplement and “Plan of Distribution — Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying prospectus.

GS Finance Corp. will sell to GS&Co., and GS&Co. will purchase from GS Finance Corp., the aggregate face amount of the offered notes specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement. GS&Co. proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the original issue price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, and to certain securities dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.382% of the face amount. GS&Co. will pay a fee of up to 0.382% from the concession to Axio Financial LLC in connection with its marketing efforts related to the offered notes. GS&Co. is an affiliate of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and, as such, will have a “conflict of interest” in this offering of notes within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering of notes will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. GS&Co. will not be permitted to sell notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. We have been advised that GS&Co. will also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, a broker-dealer in which an affiliate of GS Finance Corp. holds an indirect minority equity interest, for services it is providing in connection with this offering.

We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on the original issue date set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

We have been advised by GS&Co. that it intends to make a market in the notes. However, neither GS&Co. nor any of our other affiliates that makes a market is obligated to do so and any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or trading market for the notes.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system.
