Amazon-linked buffered notes from Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) cap 150% upside and limit first 15% of losses

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GS Finance Corp., guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., offers leveraged buffered equity-linked notes tied to Amazon.com common stock. These notes provide 150% upside participation in AMZN’s price gains, capped at a maximum cash settlement of $1,297.50 per $1,000 face amount.

The structure includes a 15% downside buffer: if AMZN falls by up to that amount, investors receive a positive return equal to the stock’s loss in absolute value. Below the buffer, principal is exposed one-for-one to further declines, and the notes pay no interest. Credit risk of both GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. applies.

Insights

Structured products analyst

Goldman issues capped, leveraged AMZN-linked notes with a 15% buffer and full downside beyond it.

The notes are unsecured debt of GS Finance Corp., guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., offering 150% participation in Amazon’s stock gains up to a maximum cash settlement of $1,297.50 per $1,000.

On the downside, investors benefit from a 15% buffer: AMZN losses up to that level translate into positive returns via the absolute return feature. If AMZN falls more than 15%, principal is reduced one-for-one below the buffer, so large equity drawdowns can cause substantial loss.

The notes pay no interest and their market value can be affected by AMZN volatility, interest rates, and the credit profile of Goldman entities through the August 2027 maturity. Overall impact on Goldman as issuer is modest, making this primarily an investment-structure consideration rather than a balance sheet event.

	Subject to Completion. Dated February 6, 2026.
	GS Finance Corp. $ Leveraged Buffered Equity-Linked Notes due 2027 guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Payment at Maturity: The amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the underlier as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date.

•If the final underlier level on the determination date is greater than or equal to the initial underlier level, the return on your notes will be positive or zero and will equal the upside participation rate times the underlier return, subject to the maximum upside settlement amount.

•If the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level, but not by more than the buffer amount, the return on your notes will be positive and will equal the absolute value of the underlier return (e.g., if the underlier return is -7.00%, the return on your notes will be +7.00%).

•If the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level by more than the buffer amount, the return on your notes will be negative and you will lose 1% of the face amount of your notes for every 1% that the final underlier level has declined below the buffer level. You could lose a significant portion of the face amount of your notes.

For example, if the underlier return is -15%, you will receive a positive return of 15% on your notes; however, if the underlier return is -16%, you will lose 1% of the value of your notes. You could receive significantly less than the face amount of your notes at maturity.

Interest: The notes do not bear interest.

The terms included in the “Key Terms” table below are expected to be as indicated, but such terms will be set on the trade date.

About Your Prospectus

The notes are part of the Medium-Term Notes, Series F program of GS Finance Corp. and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. This prospectus includes this pricing supplement and the accompanying documents listed below. This pricing supplement constitutes a supplement to the documents listed below, does not set forth all of the terms of your notes and therefore should be read in conjunction with such documents:

•General terms supplement no. 17,745 dated January 20, 2026

•Prospectus supplement dated February 14, 2025

•Prospectus dated February 14, 2025

The information in this pricing supplement supersedes any conflicting information in the documents listed above. In addition, some of the terms or features described in the listed documents may not apply to your notes.

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 the impact that the various hypothetical underlier levels 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 final underlier level.

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 the stated maturity date. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, 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 underlier, 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
Upside participation rate	150%
Maximum upside settlement amount	$1,297.50
Buffer level	85% of the initial underlier level
Buffer rate	100%
Buffer amount	15%

Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on the originally scheduled determination date

No change in or affecting the underlier

Notes purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date

For these reasons, the actual performance of the underlier over the life of your notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, 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.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level, 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 and the assumptions noted above.

Hypothetical Final Underlier Level (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Cash Settlement Amount (as Percentage of Face Amount)
200.000%	129.750%
173.000%	129.750%
147.000%	129.750%
119.833%	129.750%
115.000%	122.500%
110.000%	115.000%
105.000%	107.500%
100.000%	100.000%
96.000%	104.000%
93.000%	107.000%
89.000%	111.000%
85.000%	115.000%
84.999%	99.999%
64.000%	79.000%
42.000%	57.000%
21.000%	36.000%
0.000%	15.000%

PS-5

As shown in the table above:

•If the final underlier level were determined to be 21.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 36.000% 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 64.000% 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 were determined to be 93.000% of the initial underlier level, the absolute underlier return would be 7.000% and the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 107.000% of the face amount of your notes.

•If the final underlier level were determined to be 200.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be capped at the maximum upside settlement amount, or 129.750% 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 over approximately 119.833% of the initial underlier level.

PS-6

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. 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 the Time the Terms of Your Notes Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Notes

The original issue price for your notes exceeds 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. After the trade date, the estimated value as determined by reference to these models 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. The price at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell your notes (if GS&Co. makes a market, which it is not obligated to do), and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise, also exceeds the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these models. As agreed by GS&Co. and the distribution participants, this excess (i.e., the additional amount set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement) will decline to zero on a straight line basis over the period from the date hereof through the additional amount end date set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. Thereafter, if GS&Co. buys or sells your notes 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.

The difference between the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date and the original issue price is a result of certain factors, including principally the underwriting discount and commissions, the expenses incurred in creating, documenting and marketing the notes, and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to GS&Co. and the amounts GS&Co. pays to us in connection with your notes. We pay to GS&Co. amounts based on what we would pay to holders of a non-structured note with a similar maturity. In return for such payment, GS&Co. pays to us the amounts we owe under your notes.

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 (and subject to the declining excess amount described above).

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.

PS-7

You May Lose a Substantial Portion of Your Investment

If the final underlier level is less than the buffer level, you will have a loss for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes equal to the product of (i) the buffer rate times (ii) the sum of the underlier return plus the buffer amount times (iii) $1,000. Thus, you may lose a substantial portion of your 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 the stated maturity date 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.

Your Notes Do Not Bear Interest

You will not receive any interest payments on your notes. The overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a non-indexed debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing market rate.

The Potential for the Value of Your Notes to Increase Will Be Limited

The maximum upside settlement amount will limit the cash settlement amount you may receive for each of your notes at maturity, no matter how much the level of the underlier may rise beyond the initial underlier level over the life of your notes. In addition, if the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level but greater than or equal to the buffer level, you will receive for each $1,000 face amount of your notes an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) the absolute underlier return. You will only benefit from the absolute underlier return if the final underlier level has not declined relative to the initial underlier level by more than the buffer amount.

We Will Not Hold Shares of the Underlier for Your Benefit

The indenture governing your note does not contain any restriction on our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to sell, pledge or otherwise convey any shares of the underlier acquired by us or them. Neither we nor our affiliates will pledge or otherwise hold shares of the underlier for your benefit in order to enable you to exchange your note for shares under any circumstances. Consequently, in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, any shares of the underlier owned by us will be subject to the claims of our creditors generally and will not be available for your benefit specifically.

You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive the Underlier

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

In Some Circumstances, the Payment You Receive On the Notes May Be Based On the Securities of Another Company and Not the Issuer of the Underlier

Following certain corporate events relating to the underlier where its issuer is not the surviving entity, the amount you receive at maturity may be based on the securities of a successor to such underlier issuer or any cash or any other assets distributed to holders of shares of such underlier in such corporate event. The occurrence of these corporate events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the notes. We describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting distribution property under “Supplemental Terms of the Notes — Anti-dilution Adjustments for Index Stocks” in the accompanying general terms supplement.

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 level of the underlier;

•the volatility — i.e., the frequency and magnitude of changes — in the closing level of the underlier;

•the dividend rates of the underlier;

•economic, financial, regulatory, political, military, public health and other events that affect stock markets generally and the market segments of which the underlier is a part, and which may affect the closing level of the underlier;

•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.

PS-8

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 underlier based on its historical performance.

There is No Affiliation Between the Underlier Issuer and Us

Goldman Sachs is not affiliated with the underlier issuer. However, we or our affiliates may currently or from time to time in the future engage in business with the underlier issuer. Neither we nor any of our affiliates have participated in the preparation of any publicly available information or made any “due diligence” investigation or inquiry with respect to the underlier issuer. You, as an investor in your notes, should make your own investigation into the underlier issuer.

The underlier issuer is not involved in this offering of notes in any way and does not have any obligation of any sort with respect to your notes. Thus, the underlier issuer does not have any obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including in taking or not taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your notes.

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 in 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.

PS-9

THE UNDERLIER

Where Information About the Underlier Issuer Can Be Obtained

The underlier is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act are required to file financial and other information specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) periodically. Information filed by the underlier issuer with the SEC electronically can be reviewed through a web site maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC’s web site is sec.gov.

Information about the underlier issuer may also be obtained from other sources such as press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly available documents.

We do not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any materials referred to above, including any filings made by the underlier issuer with the SEC.

We Obtained the Information About the Underlier Issuer From the Underlier Issuer's Public Filings

This pricing supplement relates only to your notes and does not relate to the underlier or other securities of the underlier issuer. We have derived all information about the underlier issuer in this pricing supplement from the publicly available information referred to in the preceding subsection. We have not participated in the preparation of any of those documents or made any “due diligence” investigation or inquiry with respect to the underlier issuer in connection with the offering of your notes. Furthermore, we do not know whether all events occurring on or before the date of this pricing supplement — including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents referred to above and the trading price of shares of the underlier — have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any events of this kind or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning the underlier issuer could affect the value you will receive at maturity and, therefore, the market value of your notes.

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the performance of the underlier.

PS-10

Historical Closing Levels of the Underlier

The closing level of the underlier has 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 the 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 the underlier as an indication of the future performance of the underlier.

The graph below shows the daily historical closing levels of the underlier from January 4, 2021 through February 4, 2026, adjusted for corporate events, if applicable. We obtained the closing levels in the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification.

According to publicly available information, Amazon.com, Inc. is an e-commerce company. Information filed with the SEC by the underlier issuer under the Exchange Act can be located by referencing its SEC file number 000-22513. The daily historical closing prices for Amazon.com, Inc. in the graph below have been adjusted for a 20-for-1 stock split that became effective before the market open on June 6, 2022.

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. It is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP that the characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes that will be required under the terms of the notes, as discussed below, is a reasonable interpretation of current law.

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 a pre-paid derivative contract in respect of the underlier, 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 upon the sale, exchange 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 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.

FAQ

What are the key features of the GS (Goldman Sachs) Amazon-linked buffered notes?

These notes are unsecured GS Finance Corp. debt linked to Amazon.com stock, with 150% upside participation capped at $1,297.50 per $1,000. They include a 15% downside buffer and return principal plus formula-based payoff only at the August 25, 2027 maturity.

How does the 15% buffer work on Goldman Sachs AMZN leveraged buffered notes?

If the final Amazon stock level is below the initial level but no more than 15% lower, investors receive a positive return equal to the absolute stock loss. If Amazon falls beyond the 15% buffer, principal is reduced one-for-one below that buffer level at maturity.

Do the GS Amazon leveraged buffered equity-linked notes pay interest?

No, the notes do not bear interest. Investor returns come solely from the formula-based cash settlement at maturity, combining 150% leveraged upside (subject to the $1,297.50 cap) and the buffered downside structure tied to Amazon’s stock performance over the life of the notes.

What is the maximum return on Goldman Sachs’ Amazon-linked buffered notes?

The maximum cash settlement amount is $1,297.50 for each $1,000 face amount. This cap applies regardless of how high Amazon’s final stock level is above the initial level, so investors do not participate in gains beyond the cap threshold.

What are the main risks of investing in GS Amazon leveraged buffered notes?

Investors face credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., no interest payments, and potential large principal losses if Amazon falls more than 15%. Market value before maturity can also be volatile due to rates, volatility and credit spread changes.

When do the Goldman Sachs Amazon-linked buffered notes mature and how is payoff determined?

The notes have a determination date on August 20, 2027 and a stated maturity on August 25, 2027. The cash payoff per $1,000 depends on Amazon’s price change versus the initial level, applying the 150% upside, cap, and 15% buffer formulas.
