Dual Directional Trigger PLUS Based on the Price of the iShares® U.S. Home Construction ETF due December 23, 2027

Principal at Risk Securities

The Dual Directional Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM (Trigger PLUS) do not bear interest and are unsecured notes issued by GS Finance Corp. and guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. The amount that you will be paid on your Trigger PLUS on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the iShares® U.S. Home Construction ETF (ETF) as measured from the pricing date to and including the valuation date.

The return on your Trigger PLUS is linked to the performance of the ETF, and not to that of the index on which the ETF is based.

If the final ETF price (the closing price of the ETF on the valuation date) is greater than the initial ETF price, the return on your Trigger PLUS will be positive and equal to the product of the leverage factor multiplied by the ETF percent change (the percentage change in the final ETF price from the initial ETF price), subject to the maximum upside payment. If the final ETF price is equal to or less than the initial ETF price but greater than or equal to the trigger price, you will receive the principal amount of your Trigger PLUS plus a positive return reflecting the absolute value of the ETF percentage change (e.g., if the ETF percentage change is -5.00%, your return will be +5.00%). However, if the final ETF price is less than the trigger price, you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

The Trigger PLUS are for investors who seek the potential to earn 200.00% of any positive return of the underlying ETF, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity, seek a positive return for moderate decreases in the underlying ETF, are willing to forgo interest payments and are willing to risk losing their entire investment if the final ETF price is less than the trigger price.

Investment Summary

Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside Securities

The Dual Directional Trigger PLUS Based on the Price of the iShares® U.S. Home Construction ETF due December 23, 2027 (the "Trigger PLUS") can be used:

However, you will not receive dividends on the stocks comprising the underlying ETF (the "underlying ETF stocks") or any interest payments on your Trigger PLUS.

If the final ETF price is less than the trigger price, the Trigger PLUS are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the negative performance of the underlying ETF from the initial ETF price to the final ETF price.

Key Investment Rationale

The Trigger PLUS offer leveraged exposure to a limited range of positive performance of the underlying ETF and 1-to-1 exposure to the absolute ETF return for a limited range of negative performance of the underlying ETF, investors forgo interest and any participation in positive performance above the maximum upside payment at maturity. At maturity, if the underlying ETF has appreciated in value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus the leveraged upside payment, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity. If the underlying ETF has not appreciated in value or has depreciated in value, but the final ETF price is greater than or equal to the trigger price, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline, which will effectively be limited to a positive 30.00% return. However, if the underlying ETF has depreciated in price and the final ETF price is less than the trigger price, investors will lose 1.00% for every 1.00% decline in the ETF price from the pricing date to the valuation date of the Trigger PLUS. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be at least 30.00% less than the stated principal amount, will represent a loss of more than 30.00% and could be zero. Investors will not receive dividends on the underlying ETF stocks or any interest payments on the Trigger PLUS and investors may lose their entire initial investment in the Trigger PLUS. All payments on the Trigger PLUS are subject to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor.

Leveraged Performance Up to a Cap	The Trigger PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns relative to a direct investment in the underlying ETF within a limited range of positive performance. However, investors will not receive dividends on the underlying ETF or the underlying ETF stocks or any interest payments on the Trigger PLUS.
Upside Scenario if the Underlying ETF Appreciates	The underlying ETF increases in price. In this case, you receive a full return of principal as well as 200.00% of the increase in the price of the underlying ETF, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity. For example, if the final ETF price is 5.00% greater than the initial ETF price, the Trigger PLUS will provide a total return of 10.00% at maturity.
Absolute Return Scenario	The final ETF price is less than or equal to the initial ETF price but is greater than or equal to the trigger price. In this case, you receive a 1.00% positive return on the Trigger PLUS for each 1.00% negative return of the underlying ETF. For example, if the final ETF price is 5.00% less than the initial ETF price, the Trigger PLUS will provide a total positive return of 5.00% at maturity. The maximum return you may receive in this scenario is a positive 30.00% return at maturity. In this case, you receive at least the stated principal amount of $1,000 at maturity even if the underlying ETF has depreciated.
Downside Scenario	The underlying ETF declines in price and the final ETF price is less than the trigger price. In this case, you receive significantly less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the decline in the price of the underlying ETF to the valuation date of the Trigger PLUS. For example, if the final ETF price is 40.00% less than the initial ETF price, the Trigger PLUS will provide at maturity a loss of 40.00% of principal. In this case, you receive $600.00 per Trigger PLUS, or 60.00% of the stated principal amount. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS, and you could lose your entire investment.

Hypothetical Examples

The following examples are provided for purposes of illustration only. They 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 closing prices of the underlying ETF on the valuation date could have on the payment at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered Trigger PLUS assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the stated principal amount and held to the stated maturity date. If you sell your Trigger PLUS in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of your Trigger PLUS 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 underlying ETF and the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor.

For these reasons, the actual performance of the underlying ETF over the life of your Trigger PLUS, as well as the amount payable at maturity, if any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical closing prices of the underlying ETF shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information about the historical prices of the underlying ETF during recent periods, see "The Underlying ETF - Historical Closing Prices of the Underlying ETF" below.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your Trigger PLUS, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your Trigger PLUS to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underlying ETF stocks.

The below examples are based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount:	$1,000 per Trigger PLUS
Leverage factor:	200.00%
Trigger price:	70.00% of the initial ETF price
Maximum upside payment at maturity:	$1,411.50 per Trigger PLUS (141.15% of the stated principal amount)
Minimum payment at maturity:	None

Trigger PLUS Payoff Diagram

How it works

	Upside Scenario. If the final ETF price is greater than the initial ETF price, the investor would receive the $1,000 stated principal amount plus 200.00% of the appreciation of the underlying ETF from the pricing date to the valuation date of the Trigger PLUS, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity. Under the terms of the Trigger PLUS, the investor will realize the maximum upside payment at maturity at a final ETF price of 120.575% of the initial ETF price.
	 	If the underlying ETF appreciates 5.00%, the investor would receive a 10.00% return, or $1,100.00 per Trigger PLUS. If the underlying ETF appreciates 50.00%, the investor would receive only the maximum upside payment at maturity of $1,411.50 per Trigger PLUS, or 141.15% of the stated principal amount.
	Absolute Return Scenario. If the final ETF price is less than the initial ETF price but is greater than or equal to the trigger price, the investor would receive a 1.00% positive return on the Trigger PLUS for each 1.00% negative return on the underlying ETF.
		If the underlying ETF depreciates 5.00%, investors will receive a 5.00% return, or $1,050.00 per Trigger PLUS.
	Downside Scenario. If the final ETF price is less than the trigger price, the investor would receive an amount that is significantly less than the $1,000 stated principal amount, based on a 1.00% loss of principal for each 1.00% decline in the underlying ETF. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be more than 30.00% less than the stated principal amount per Trigger PLUS. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS.
		If the underlying ETF depreciates 40.00%, the investor would lose 40.00% of the investor's principal and receive only $600.00 per Trigger PLUS at maturity, or 60.00% of the stated principal amount.

Additional Hypothetical Examples

The values in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final ETF prices and are expressed as percentages of the initial ETF price. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical payments at maturity, based on the corresponding hypothetical final ETF price, and are expressed as percentages of the stated principal amount of a Trigger PLUS (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical payment at maturity of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding stated principal amount of the offered Trigger PLUS on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the stated principal amount of a Trigger PLUS, based on the corresponding hypothetical final ETF price and the assumptions noted above.

Hypothetical Final ETF price (as Percentage of Initial ETF price)	Hypothetical Payment at Maturity (as Percentage of Stated Principal Amount)
175.000%	141.150%
150.000%	141.150%
140.000%	141.150%
120.575%	141.150%
110.000%	120.000%
105.000%	110.000%
100.000%	100.000%
90.000%	110.000%
80.000%	120.000%
70.000%	130.000%
69.999%	69.999%
55.000%	55.000%
50.000%	50.000%
30.000%	30.000%
25.000%	25.000%
0.000%	0.000%

As shown in the table above:

Risk Factors

An investment in your Trigger PLUS is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks and considerations described in the accompanying prospectus, in the accompanying prospectus supplement and under "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes" in the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999. You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the Trigger PLUS described herein and in the accompanying prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999. Your Trigger PLUS are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your Trigger PLUS are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying ETF stocks, i.e., the stocks comprising the underlying ETF to which your Trigger PLUS are linked. You should carefully consider whether the offered Trigger PLUS are appropriate given your particular circumstances.

Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

Your Trigger PLUS Do Not Bear Interest

You will not receive any interest payments on your Trigger PLUS. As a result, even if the payment at maturity payable for your Trigger PLUS on the stated maturity date exceeds the stated principal amount of your Trigger PLUS, the overall return you earn on your Trigger PLUS 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.

You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Trigger PLUS

You can lose your entire investment in the Trigger PLUS. The cash payment on your Trigger PLUS, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the iShares® U.S. Home Construction ETF as measured from the initial ETF price set on the pricing date to the closing price of the underlying ETF on the valuation date. If the final ETF price is less than the trigger price, you will lose 1.00% of the stated principal amount of your Trigger PLUS for every 1.00% decline in the ETF price over the term of the Trigger PLUS, and you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the Trigger PLUS.

Also, the market price of your Trigger PLUS prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your Trigger PLUS. Consequently, if you sell your Trigger PLUS before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the Trigger PLUS.

The Trigger PLUS Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor

Although the return on the Trigger PLUS will be based on the performance of the underlying ETF, the payment of any amount due on the Trigger PLUS is subject to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp., as issuer of the Trigger PLUS, and the credit risk of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the Trigger PLUS. The Trigger PLUS are our unsecured obligations. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Similarly, investors are dependent on the ability of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the Trigger PLUS, to pay all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS, and therefore are also subject to its credit risk and to changes in the market's view of its creditworthiness. See "Description of the Notes We May Offer - Information About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series F Program - How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt" on page S-5 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer- Guarantee by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc." on page 67 of the accompanying prospectus.

The Return on Your Trigger PLUS Will Be Limited

Your ability to participate in any positive change in the price of the underlying ETF over the life of your Trigger PLUS will be limited because of the maximum upside payment at maturity. The maximum upside payment at maturity will limit the payment at maturity you may receive for each of your Trigger PLUS, no matter how much the price of the underlying ETF may rise over the life of your Trigger PLUS. Although the upside leverage factor provides 200.00% exposure to any increase in the final ETF price over the initial ETF price, because the payment at maturity will be limited to at least 141.15% of the stated principal amount per Trigger PLUS, any increase in the final ETF price over

the initial ETF price by more than at least 20.575% of the initial ETF price will not further increase the return on the Trigger PLUS. Accordingly, the amount payable for each of your Trigger PLUS may be significantly less than it would have been had you invested directly in the underlying ETF. In addition, if the final ETF price is less than the initial ETF price but greater than or equal to the trigger price, the payment at maturity for each Trigger PLUS will be equal to the stated principal amount plus the product of the stated principal amount times the absolute ETF return. You will benefit from the absolute ETF return only if the final ETF price is less than the initial ETF price but greater than or equal to the trigger price. Therefore, if the ETF percent change is negative, the amount you may receive at maturity will not exceed $1,300.00 for each Trigger PLUS.

The Return on Your Trigger PLUS May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Incremental Change in the Price of the Underlying ETF

If the final ETF price is less than the trigger price, you will lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the Trigger PLUS. This means that while a decrease in the final ETF price to the trigger price will not result in a loss of principal on the Trigger PLUS, a decrease in the final ETF price to less than the trigger price will result in a loss of a significant portion of the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS despite only a small incremental change in the price of the underlying ETF.

The Return on Your Trigger PLUS Will Not Reflect Any Dividends Paid on the Underlying ETF or the Underlying ETF Stocks

The return on your Trigger PLUS will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the underlying ETF and received the distributions paid on the shares of such underlying ETF. You will not receive any dividends that may be paid on any of the underlying ETF stocks by the ETF stock issuers or the shares of the underlying ETF. See "-Investing in the Trigger PLUS is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Underlying ETF; You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Underlying ETF or Any Underlying ETF Stock" below for additional information.

The Estimated Value of Your Trigger PLUS At the Time the Terms of Your Trigger PLUS Are Set On the Pricing Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Trigger PLUS

The original issue price for your Trigger PLUS exceeds the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS as of the time the terms of your Trigger PLUS are set on the pricing date, as determined by reference to GS&Co.'s pricing models and taking into account our credit spreads. Such estimated value on the pricing date is set forth above under "Estimated Value of Your Trigger PLUS"; after the pricing 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 Trigger PLUS (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 Trigger PLUS as determined by reference to these models. As agreed by GS&Co. and the distribution participants, this excess (i.e., the additional amount described under "Estimated Value of Your Trigger PLUS") will decline to zero over the period from the date hereof through the applicable date set forth above under "Estimated Value of Your Trigger PLUS". Thereafter, if GS&Co. buys or sells your Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured Trigger PLUS.

In estimating the value of your Trigger PLUS as of the time the terms of your Trigger PLUS are set on the pricing date, as disclosed above under "Estimated Value of Your Trigger PLUS", 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 Trigger PLUS. 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 Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors" below.

The difference between the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS as of the time the terms of your Trigger PLUS are set on the pricing 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 Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS. 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 Trigger PLUS.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your Trigger PLUS at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If GS&Co. makes a market in the Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS, including the price you may receive for your Trigger PLUS in any market making transaction. To the extent that GS&Co. makes a market in the Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS (and subject to the declining excess amount described above).

Furthermore, if you sell your Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS in a secondary market sale.

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your Trigger PLUS at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the Trigger PLUS. See "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes - Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market" on page S-7 of the accompanying general terms supplement.

The Amount Payable on Your Trigger PLUS Is Not Linked to the Price of the Underlying ETF at Any Time Other than the Valuation Date

The final ETF price will be based on the closing price of the underlying ETF on the valuation date (subject to adjustment as described elsewhere in this pricing supplement). Therefore, if the closing price of the underlying ETF dropped precipitously on the valuation date, the payment at maturity for your Trigger PLUS may be significantly less than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the closing price of the underlying ETF prior to such drop in the price of the underlying ETF. Although the actual price of the underlying ETF on the stated maturity date or at other times during the life of your Trigger PLUS may be higher than the final ETF price, you will not benefit from the closing price of the underlying ETF at any time other than on the valuation date.

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

When we refer to the market value of your Trigger PLUS, we mean the value that you could receive for your Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS, including:

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

These factors, and many other factors, will influence the price you will receive if you sell your Trigger PLUS before maturity, including the price you may receive for your Trigger PLUS in any market making transaction. If you sell your Trigger PLUS before maturity, you may receive less than the principal amount of your Trigger PLUS or the amount you may receive at maturity.

You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying ETF based on its historical performance. The actual performance of the underlying ETF over the life of the offered Trigger PLUS or the payment at maturity may bear little or no relation to the historical closing prices of the underlying ETF or to the hypothetical examples shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement.

Investing in the Trigger PLUS is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Underlying ETF; You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Underlying ETF or Any Underlying ETF Stock

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

We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Stated Principal Amount of the Trigger PLUS at a Different Issue Price

At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price of the Trigger PLUS in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or lower) from the original issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement.

If You Purchase Your Trigger PLUS at a Premium to Stated Principal Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Trigger PLUS Purchased at Stated Principal Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Trigger PLUS Will be Negatively Affected

The payment at maturity will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for the Trigger PLUS. If you purchase Trigger PLUS at a price that differs from the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS, then the return on your investment in such Trigger PLUS held to the stated maturity date will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on Trigger PLUS purchased at stated principal amount. If you purchase your Trigger PLUS at a premium to stated principal amount and hold them to the stated maturity date the return on your investment in the Trigger PLUS will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the Trigger PLUS at stated principal amount or a discount to stated principal amount.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Other Investors May Not Have the Same Interests as You

Other investors in the Trigger PLUS are not required to take into account the interests of any other investor in exercising remedies or voting or other rights in their capacity as securityholders. The interests of other investors may, in some circumstances, be adverse to your interests. Further, other investors in the market may take short positions (directly or indirectly through derivative transactions) on assets that are the same or similar to your Trigger PLUS, the underlying stocks or other similar securities, which may adversely impact the market for or value of your Trigger PLUS.

Additional Risks Related to the Underlying ETF

The Policies of the Underlying ETF's Investment Advisor and the Publisher of the Underlying ETF's Index Could Affect the Payment at Maturity on Your Trigger PLUS and Their Market Value

The underlying ETF's investment advisor may from time to time be called upon to make certain policy decisions or judgments with respect to the underlying ETF, including those concerning the calculation of the net asset value of the underlying ETF, additions, deletions or substitutions of securities in the underlying ETF and the manner in which changes affecting the index are reflected in the underlying ETF that could affect the market price of the shares of the underlying ETF and, therefore, the payment at maturity, if any, on your Trigger PLUS on the stated maturity date. The payment at maturity and the market value of your Trigger PLUS could also be affected if the underlying ETF investment advisor changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates the net asset value of the underlying ETF, or if the underlying ETF investment advisor discontinues or suspends calculation or publication of the net asset value of the underlying ETF, in which case it may become difficult or inappropriate to determine the market value of your Trigger PLUS.

If events such as these occur, the calculation agent - which initially will be GS&Co., our affiliate - may determine the closing price of the underlying ETF on the valuation date - and thus the payment at maturity - in a manner it considers appropriate, in its sole discretion. We describe the discretion that the calculation agent will have in determining the closing price of the underlying ETF on the valuation date and the payment at maturity more fully under "Supplemental Terms of the Notes - Discontinuance or Modification of an Underlier That is an Index or an Exchange-Traded Fund" and "-Role of Calculation Agent" on page S-28 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999.

In addition, the publisher of the underlying ETF's index owns the index and is responsible for the design and maintenance of the index. The policies of the publisher of the underlying ETF's index concerning the calculation of the index, including decisions regarding the addition, deletion or substitution of the equity securities included in the index, could affect the level of the index and, consequently, could affect the market price of shares of the underlying ETF and, therefore, the amount payable on your Trigger PLUS and their market value.

There Is No Assurance That an Active Trading Market Will Continue for the Underlying ETF or That There Will Be Liquidity in Any Such Trading Market; Further, the Underlying ETF Is Subject to Management Risks, Securities Lending Risks and Custody Risks

Although the shares of the underlying ETF and a number of similar products have been listed for trading on securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the underlying ETF or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

In addition, the underlying ETF is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the underlying ETF investment advisor's investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. The underlying ETF is also not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments relating to its index. The underlying ETF investment advisor invests in securities included in, or representative of, its index regardless of their investment merits. The underlying ETF investment advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. In addition, the underlying ETF's investment advisor may be permitted to engage in securities lending with respect to a portion of the underlying ETF's total assets, which could subject the underlying ETF to the risk that the borrower of such loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all.

In addition, the underlying ETF is subject to custody risk, which refers to the risks in the process of clearing and settling trades and to the holding of securities by local banks, agents and depositories.

Further, the underlying ETF is subject to listing standards adopted by the securities exchange on which the underlying ETF is listed for trading. There can be no assurance that the underlying ETF will continue to meet the applicable listing requirements, or that the underlying ETF will not be delisted.

The Underlying ETF and Its Index Are Different and the Performance of the Underlying ETF May Not Correlate With the Performance of Its Index

The underlying ETF may not hold all or substantially all of the equity securities included in the index and may hold securities or assets not included in the index. Therefore, while the performance of the underlying ETF is generally linked to the performance of the index, the performance of the underlying ETF is also linked in part to shares of equity securities not included in the index and to the performance of other assets, such as futures contracts, options and swaps, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with the underlying ETF investment advisor.

Imperfect correlation between the underlying ETF's portfolio securities and those in the index, rounding of prices, changes to the index and regulatory requirements may cause tracking error, which is the divergence of the underlying ETF's performance from that of the index.

In addition, the performance of the underlying ETF will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the index and this may increase the tracking error of the underlying ETF. Also, corporate actions with respect to the sample of equity securities (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the performance differential between the underlying ETF and the index. Finally, because the shares of the underlying ETF are traded on an exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the underlying ETF may differ from the net asset value per share of the underlying ETF.

For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the underlying ETF may not correlate with the performance of the index. Consequently, the return on the Trigger PLUS will not be the same as investing directly in the underlying ETF's index, the underlying ETF stocks or in the stocks comprising the index, and will not be the same as investing in a debt security with a payment at maturity linked to the performance of the index.

The Underlying ETF Is Concentrated in the Home Construction Sector and Does Not Provide Diversified Exposure

The underlying ETF is not diversified. The underlying ETF's assets are concentrated in the home construction sector, which means that the underlying ETF is more likely to be more adversely affected by any negative performance of the home construction sector than an ETF that has more diversified holdings across a number of industries. The home construction sector may be significantly affected by changes in government spending, zoning laws, general economic conditions, interest rates, commodity prices, consumer confidence and spending, taxation, demographic patterns, real estate values, overbuilding, housing starts, and new and existing home sales. Rising interest rates, reductions in mortgage availability to consumers, increasing foreclosure rates or increases in the costs of owning a home could reduce the market for new homes and adversely affect the profitability of home construction companies. Certain segments of the home construction sector can be significantly affected by environmental cleanup costs and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and terrorist acts. Home construction companies may lack diversification, due to ownership of a limited number of properties and concentration in a particular geographic region or property type.

Risks Related to Tax

Your Trigger PLUS May Be Subject to an Adverse Change in Tax Treatment in the Future

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

The Internal Revenue Service announced on December 7, 2007 that it is considering issuing guidance regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of an instrument such as your Trigger PLUS, and any such guidance could adversely affect the tax treatment and the value of your Trigger PLUS. Among other things, the Internal Revenue Service may decide to require the holders to accrue ordinary income on a current basis and recognize ordinary income on payment at maturity, and could subject non-U.S. investors to withholding tax. Furthermore, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders that acquired instruments such as your Trigger PLUS after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such instruments even though there will be no interest payments over the term of such instruments. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will

be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Trigger PLUS. We describe these developments in more detail under "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page S-44 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999. You should consult your tax advisor about this matter. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, GS Finance Corp. intends to continue treating your Trigger PLUS for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described under "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page S-44 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999 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 Trigger PLUS in your particular circumstances.

Your Trigger PLUS May Be Subject to the Constructive Ownership Rules

There exists a risk that the constructive ownership rules of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code

could apply to your Trigger PLUS. If your Trigger PLUS were subject to the constructive ownership rules, then any long-term capital gain that you realize upon the sale, exchange, or maturity of your Trigger PLUS would be recharacterized as ordinary income (and you would be subject to an interest charge on deferred tax liability with respect to such re-characterized capital gain) to the extent that such capital gain exceeds the amount of "net underlying long-term capital gain" (as defined in Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code). Because the application of the constructive ownership rules is unclear you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the possible application of the constructive ownership rules to your investment in the Trigger PLUS.

Non-United States Holders Should Consider the Withholding Tax Implications of Owning the Trigger PLUS

The Treasury Department has issued regulations under which amounts paid or deemed paid on certain financial

instruments ("871(m) financial instruments") that are treated as attributable to U.S.-source dividends could be treated, in whole or in part depending on the circumstances, as a "dividend equivalent" payment that is subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable treaty), which in the case of any amounts you receive upon the sale, exchange, or maturity of your Trigger PLUS, could be collected via withholding. If these regulations were to apply to the Trigger PLUS, we may be required to withhold such taxes if any U.S.-source dividends are paid on the underlying ETF during the term of the Trigger PLUS. We could also require you to make certifications (e.g., an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8) prior to the maturity of the Trigger PLUS in order to avoid or minimize withholding obligations, and we could withhold accordingly (subject to your potential right to claim a refund from the Internal Revenue Service) if such certifications were not received or were not satisfactory. If withholding was required, we would not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld. These regulations generally will apply to 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2027, but will also apply to certain 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) that have a delta (as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) of one and are issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2017. In addition, these regulations will not apply to financial instruments that reference a "qualified index" (as defined in the regulations). We have determined that, as of the issue date of your Trigger PLUS, your Trigger PLUS will not be subject to withholding under these rules. In certain limited circumstances, however, you should be aware that it is possible for non-United States holders to be liable for tax under these rules with respect to a combination of transactions treated as having been entered into in connection with each other even when no withholding is required. You should consult your tax advisor concerning these regulations, subsequent official guidance and regarding any other possible alternative characterizations of your Trigger PLUS for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding May Apply to Payments on Your Trigger PLUS, Including as a Result of the Failure of the Bank or Broker Through Which You Hold the Trigger PLUS to Provide Information to Tax Authorities

Please see the discussion under "United States Taxation - Taxation of Debt Securities - Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the applicability of FATCA to payments made on your Trigger PLUS.

The Underlying ETF

The shares of the iShares® U.S. Home Construction ETF (the "underlying ETF") are issued by iShares® Trust (the "trust"), a registered investment company.

Where Information About the Underlying ETF Can Be Obtained

Information filed by the trust with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") electronically can be reviewed through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC's website is sec.gov. Information filed with the SEC by the trust, including its reports to shareholders, can be located by referencing its CIK number referred to above.

In addition, information regarding the underlying ETF (including its fees and top ten holdings and weights) may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles, other publicly available documents, and the underlying ETF's website. We are not incorporating by reference the website, the sources listed above or any material they include in this pricing supplement.

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 trust with the SEC.

We Obtained the Information About the Underlying ETF From the Trust's Publicly Available Information

This pricing supplement relates only to your Trigger PLUS and does not relate to the underlying ETF. We have derived all information about the underlying ETF 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 underlying ETF in connection with the offering of your Trigger PLUS. Furthermore, we do not know whether all events occurring 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 underlying ETF - 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 underlying ETF could affect the value you will receive at maturity and, therefore, the market value of your Trigger PLUS.

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

We or any of our affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with the trust, including making loans to or equity investments in the trust or providing advisory services to the trust, including merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of that business, we or any of our affiliates may acquire non-public information about the trust and, in addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports about the underlying ETF. As an investor in a Trigger PLUS, you should undertake such independent investigation of the trust as in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in a Trigger PLUS.

Historical Closing Prices of the Underlying ETF

The closing price of the underlying ETF has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. In particular, the underlying ETF has recently experienced extreme and unusual volatility. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing price of the underlying ETF during any period shown below is not an indication that the underlying ETF is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the life of your Trigger PLUS.

You should not take the historical closing prices of the underlying ETF as an indication of the future performance of the underlying ETF, including because of the recent volatility described above. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of the underlying ETF or the underlying ETF stocks will result in you receiving an amount greater than the outstanding principal amount of your Trigger PLUS on the stated maturity date, or that you will not lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the performance of the underlying ETF. Before investing in the offered Trigger PLUS, you should consult publicly available information to determine the prices of the underlying ETF between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the Trigger PLUS and, given the recent volatility described above, you should pay particular attention to recent prices of the underlying ETF. The actual performance of the underlying ETF over the life of the Trigger PLUS, as well as the payment at maturity, if any, may bear little relation to the historical closing prices of the underlying ETF shown below.

The graph below shows the daily historical closing prices of the underlying ETF from January 1, 2019 through December 16, 2024. As a result, the following graph does not reflect the global financial crisis which began in 2008, which had a materially negative impact on the price of most equity securities and, as a result, the price of most equity ETFs. We obtained the closing prices of the underlying ETF in the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification.

Historical Performance of the iShares® U.S. Home Construction ETF

Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses how your Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS are uncertain. You will be obligated pursuant to the terms of your Trigger PLUS - in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary - to characterize your Trigger PLUS for all tax purposes as pre-paid derivative contracts in respect of the underlying ETF, as described under "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" on page S-44 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999. It is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP that such a characterization of the Trigger PLUS for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a reasonable interpretation of current law. Pursuant to this approach, it is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP that upon the sale, exchange, or maturity of your Trigger PLUS, you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount you receive at such time and your tax basis in your Trigger PLUS.

In addition, the constructive ownership rules of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code could apply to your Trigger PLUS. If your Trigger PLUS were subject to the constructive ownership rules, then any long-term capital gain that you realize upon the sale, exchange or maturity of your Trigger PLUS would be re-characterized as ordinary income (and you would be subject to an interest charge on deferred tax liability with respect to such re-characterized capital gain) to the extent that such capital gain exceeds the amount of "net underlying long-term capital gain" (as defined in Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code). Because the application of the constructive ownership rules is unclear you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the possible application of the constructive ownership rules to your investment in the Trigger PLUS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, since the appropriate U.S. federal income tax characterization and treatment of your Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS could substantially differ from that described above.

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 Trigger PLUS will generally be subject to the FATCA withholding rules.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest

As described under "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" on page S-49 of the accompanying general terms supplement and "Plan of Distribution - Conflicts of Interest" on page 129 of the accompanying prospectus; GS Finance Corp. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ .

GS Finance Corp. will sell to GS&Co., and GS&Co. will purchase from GS Finance Corp., the aggregate stated principal amount of the offered Trigger PLUS specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement. GS&Co. proposes initially to offer the Trigger PLUS to the public at the original issue price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (Morgan Stanley Wealth Management), acting as dealer for the offering, will receive a selling concession of $30.00 for each Trigger PLUS it sells. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has informed us that it intends to internally allocate at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management $5.00 of the selling concession for each Trigger PLUS as a structuring fee. The costs included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS will include a fee paid by GS&Co. to LFT Securities, LLC, an entity in which an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has an ownership interest, for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering. 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 Trigger PLUS within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering of Trigger PLUS will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. GS&Co. will not be permitted to sell Trigger PLUS in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.

We expect to deliver the Trigger PLUS against payment therefor in New York, New York on December 26, 2024. 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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS. 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 Trigger PLUS.
