GS Finance buffered notes tied to three equity indexes

Q: What are the basic terms of the GSCE structured notes in this 424B2?

The notes have an aggregate face amount of $9,470,000, mature on July 20, 2029, and are linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq-100 Index and S&P 500 Index, with contingent coupons and potential principal loss based on the worst-performing index.

Q: How do coupon payments work on the GSCE notes?

Each month, investors receive $11.042 per $1,000 (1.1042%) only if each index is at or above 80% of its initial level. If any index is below its coupon trigger level on an observation date, that month’s coupon is $0 and is not made up later.

Q: What is the buffer and downside risk on these GSCE notes?

The notes have a 20% buffer: if all indexes stay at or above 80% of their initial levels at maturity, principal is repaid. If any index falls below its buffer level, repayment is reduced based on the lesser performing underlier, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.

Q: What indices and initial levels are used for the GSCE notes?

The notes reference the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 52,146.42, the Nasdaq-100 Index at 28,592.66, and the S&P 500 Index at 7,457.69, each measured on the trade date and used to set coupon triggers and buffer levels.

Q: What are the main risks highlighted for investors in the GSCE notes?

Key risks include the possibility of no coupons, total principal loss if the worst index falls deeply, credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and its guarantor, limited liquidity with uncertain secondary market pricing, early automatic redemption, and uncertain U.S. tax treatment.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GS Finance Corp., guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., is offering Medium-Term Notes, Series F, linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq-100 Index and S&P 500 Index with an aggregate face amount of $9,470,000. The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of $11.042 per $1,000 (1.1042% monthly, up to about 13.25% per year) only if on each observation date all three indexes are at or above 80% of their initial levels; otherwise the coupon is zero.

The notes can be automatically called quarterly if on a call observation date all underliers are at or above their initial levels, in which case investors receive $1,000 per note plus the coupon then due, ending the investment early. If not called, at maturity on July 20, 2029 investors receive $1,000 per note if each index is at or above its 80% buffer level; if any index is below this buffer, principal is reduced according to the “lesser performing” index, with losses magnified by a 125% buffer rate. In extreme declines, investors can lose their entire principal and may receive no coupons.

The notes have an original issue price of 100% with no underwriting discount, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and the guarantor, and will not be listed on any exchange. Secondary market value may be volatile and influenced by index levels, interest rates, volatility, and Goldman Sachs’ credit spreads. U.S. tax treatment is uncertain; current counsel opinion treats the notes as income-bearing pre-paid derivative contracts, with coupons likely taxed as ordinary income.

Filing Explained

The $9.47 million tranche was scheduled for July 22, 2026, while later sales and secondary-market support remain uncommitted.

The Form 424B2 sets the terms of a $9.47 million tranche of notes from GS Finance Corp.; the filing says issuance and delivery were scheduled for July 22, 2026, rather than stating that delivery had occurred. For existing common holders, the structural consequence is a new unsecured payment obligation of GS Finance Corp., guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., not an issuance of common shares.

The $9.47 million is the face amount of this offering. The filing also says the issuer may sell additional notes later at different issue prices, underwriting discounts and net proceeds, so this amount does not establish the economics of any later sales.

GS Finance Corp. sells the notes to GS&Co., an affiliate that initially offers them publicly. The filing identifies a conflict under FINRA Rule 5121 and says an affiliate holds an indirect minority interest in iCapital Markets, which receives a fee for offering-related services.

The notes will not be listed on an exchange or interdealer quotation system. GS&Co. says it intends to make a market, but neither it nor other affiliates are obligated to do so, leaving secondary-market liquidity uncommitted.

     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	$11.042 (1.1042% monthly, or the potential for up to approximately 13.25% per annum)
Coupon trigger level	with respect to each underlier, 80% of its initial underlier level
Buffer level	with respect to each underlier, 80% of its initial underlier level
Buffer amount	20%
Buffer rate	125%

     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.

    

PS-4

     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.

    

Scenario 1


Coupon Observation Date	Hypothetical Closing Level of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Closing Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index® (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Closing Level of the S&P 500® Index (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Coupon

12 - 36	70.000%	70.000%	68.000%	$0.000
			Total Hypothetical Coupons	$33.126

     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.

    

Scenario 2


Coupon Observation Date	Hypothetical Closing Level of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Closing Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index® (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Closing Level of the S&P 500® Index (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Coupon
1	150.000%	60.000%	65.000%	$0.000
2	90.000%	65.000%	150.000%	$0.000
3	70.000%	150.000%	82.000%	$0.000
4	90.000%	70.000%	70.000%	$0.000
5	90.000%	70.000%	70.000%	$0.000
6	90.000%	70.000%	65.000%	$0.000
7	99.000%	60.000%	60.000%	$0.000
8	110.000%	50.000%	83.000%	$0.000
9	99.000%	60.000%	55.000%	$0.000
10	90.000%	70.000%	75.000%	$0.000
11	110.000%	55.000%	50.000%	$0.000
12 - 36	70.000%	65.000%	70.000%	$0.000
			Total Hypothetical Coupons	$0.000

     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 less than zero.

    

PS-5

Scenario 3


Coupon Observation Date	Hypothetical Closing Level of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Closing Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index® (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Closing Level of the S&P 500® Index (as Percentage of Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Coupon
1	70.000%	70.000%	70.000%	$0.000
2	70.000%	60.000%	60.000%	$0.000
3	70.000%	65.000%	65.000%	$0.000
4	70.000%	50.000%	50.000%	$0.000
5	70.000%	60.000%	60.000%	$0.000
6	110.000%	105.000%	108.000%	$11.042
			Total Hypothetical Coupons	$11.042

     In Scenario 3, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier is less than its coupon trigger level on the first five hypothetical coupon observation dates, but increases to a level that is greater than its initial underlier level on the sixth hypothetical coupon observation date. Because the hypothetical closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier level on the sixth 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.

     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.

    


Hypothetical Final Underlier Level of the Lesser Performing Underlier (as Percentage of Its Initial Underlier Level)	Hypothetical Cash Settlement Amount (as Percentage of Face Amount)
200.000%	100.000%*
167.000%	100.000%*
133.000%	100.000%*
100.000%	100.000%*
93.000%	100.000%*
87.000%	100.000%*
80.000%	100.000%*
60.000%	75.000%
40.000%	50.000%
20.000%	25.000%
0.000%	0.000%

*Does not include the final coupon

     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 20.000% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 25.000% 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 75.000% 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 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 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 lesser performing underlier return plus the buffer amount times (iii) $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

     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 less than zero 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 Index®

    

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

    

     Pursuant to the Nasdaq-100 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 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 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 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.

    

     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.

    

     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 4, 2021 through July 17, 2026. We obtained the closing levels in the graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification.

     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. 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.

     VALIDITY OF THE NOTES AND GUARANTEE

    

     In the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, as counsel to GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by GS Finance Corp., such notes have been authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and such notes have been delivered against payment as contemplated herein, (a) such notes will be valid and binding obligations of GS Finance Corp., enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above and (b) the guarantee with respect to such notes will be a valid and binding obligation of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as in effect on the date hereof. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated January 27, 2025, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.6 to the registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. on January 27, 2025.
