(current Bloomberg ticker: "CAT UN"), the common stock of Eli Lilly and Company (current Bloomberg ticker: "LLY UN") and the common stock of Texas Instruments Incorporated (current Bloomberg ticker: "TXN UW"), as each may be replaced or adjusted from time to time as provided herein

Face amount: $ in the aggregate on the original issue date; the aggregate face amount may be increased if the company, at its sole option, decides to sell an additional amount on a date subsequent to the trade date

Authorized denominations: $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof

Principal amount: Subject to redemption by the company as provided under "- Company's redemption right " below, on the stated maturity date, in addition to the final coupon, if any, the company will pay, for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount, an amount in cash equal to $1,000.

Company's redemption right: the company may redeem this note, at its option, in whole but not in part, on each coupon payment date commencing in November 2025 and ending in October 2031 for an amount in cash for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount on the redemption date equal to 100% of such $1,000 face amount plus any coupon then due.

If the company chooses to exercise the company's redemption right, it will notify the holder of this note and the trustee by giving at least ten business days' prior notice. The day the company gives the notice, which will be a business day, will be the redemption notice date and the immediately following coupon payment date, which the company will state in the redemption notice, will be the redemption date.

The company will not give a redemption notice that results in a redemption date later than the October 2031 coupon payment date. A redemption notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.

Initial index stock price (set on the trade date): with respect to an index stock, an intra-day price or the closing price of one share of such index stock on the trade date

Coupon: subject to the company's redemption right, on each coupon payment date, for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount, the company will pay an amount in cash equal to:

The coupon paid on any coupon payment date will be paid to the person in whose name this note is registered as of the close of business on the regular record date for such coupon payment date. If the coupon is due at maturity but on a day that is not a coupon payment date, the coupon will be paid to the person entitled to receive the principal of this note.

Coupon trigger price: for each index stock, 70% of its initial index stock price

Trade date: expected to be November 25, 2024

Original issue date (set on the trade date): expected to be November 29, 2024

Determination date (set on the trade date): the last coupon observation date, expected to be November 13, 2031, subject to adjustment as described under "- Coupon observation dates" below. If the stated maturity date is postponed due to a non-business day as described under "Stated maturity date" below, such postponement of the stated maturity date will not postpone the determination date.

Stated maturity date (set on the trade date): expected to be November 28, 2031, unless that day is not a business day, in which case the stated maturity date will be postponed to the next following business day. If the determination date is postponed as described under "- Determination date" above, such postponement of the determination date will not postpone the stated maturity date

Coupon observation dates (set on the trade date): expected to be the tenth scheduled trading day for all index stocks prior to each coupon payment date, unless the calculation agent determines that, with respect to any index stock, a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on that day or that day is not

otherwise a trading day. If a coupon payment date is postponed due to a non-business day as described under "- Coupon payment dates" below, such postponement of the coupon payment date will not postpone the related coupon observation date.

In the event the originally scheduled coupon observation date is a non-trading day with respect to any index stock, the coupon observation date will be the first day thereafter that is a trading day for all index stocks (the "first qualified coupon trading day") provided that no market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to an index stock on that day. If a market disruption event with respect to an index stock occurs or is continuing on the originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day, the coupon observation date will be the first following trading day on which the calculation agent determines that each index stock has had at least one trading day (from and including the originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day, as applicable) on which no market disruption event has occurred or is continuing and the closing price of each index stock for that coupon observation date will be determined on or prior to the postponed coupon observation date as set forth under "- Consequences of a market disruption event or a non-trading day" below. (In such case, the coupon observation date may differ from the date on which the price of an index stock is determined for the purpose of the calculations to be performed on the coupon observation date.) In no event, however, will the coupon observation date be postponed by more than three scheduled trading days for all index stocks from the originally scheduled coupon observation date either due to the occurrence of serial non-trading days or due to the occurrence of one or more market disruption events. (For the avoidance of doubt, a day that is a scheduled trading day for only one index stock will not count as one of the three scheduled trading days for this purpose.) On such last possible coupon observation date applicable to the relevant coupon payment date, if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to an index stock that has not yet had such a trading day on which no market disruption event has occurred or is continuing or if such last possible day is not a trading day with respect to such index stock, that day will nevertheless be the coupon observation date.

Coupon payment dates (set on the trade date): expected to be the 29th day of each month (except for the coupon payment date in each February, which is expected to be the last calendar day of such month and provided that the coupon payment date for November 2031 is expected to be November 28, 2031), commencing in December 2024 and ending on the stated maturity date, unless, for any such coupon payment date, that day is not a business day, in which case such coupon payment date will be postponed to the next following business day. If a coupon observation date is postponed as described under - "Coupon observation dates" above, such postponement of the coupon observation date will not postpone the related coupon payment date

Closing price: on any trading day, with respect to an index stock, the closing sale price or last reported sale price, regular way, for such index stock, on a per-share or other unit basis:

If an index stock is not listed or traded as described above, then the closing price for such index stock on any day will be the average, as determined by the calculation agent, of the bid prices for such index stock obtained from as many dealers in such index stock selected by the calculation agent as will make those bid prices available to the calculation agent. The number of dealers need not exceed three and may include the calculation agent or any of its or the company's affiliates.

The closing price of an index stock is subject to adjustment as described under "- Anti-dilution adjustments" below.

Trading day: with respect to an index stock, a day on which the principal securities market for such index stock is open for trading. A day is a scheduled trading day, if, as of the trade date, the principal securities market for the index stock is scheduled to be open for trading on such day.

Index stock issuer: with respect to an index stock, the issuer of such index stock as then in effect

Market disruption event: With respect to any given trading day, any of the following will be a market disruption event with respect to an index stock:

and, in the case of any of these events, the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that such event could materially interfere with the ability of the company or any of its affiliates or a similarly situated person to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge that could be effected with respect to this note.

The following events will not be market disruption events:

For this purpose, an "absence of trading" in the primary securities market on which shares of an index stock are traded, or on which option or futures contracts relating to an index stock are traded, will not include any time when that market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. In contrast, a suspension or limitation of trading in shares of an index stock or in option or futures contracts, if available, relating to the index stock in the primary market for that index stock or those contracts, by reason of:

will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading in shares of the index stock or those contracts in that market.

A market disruption event with respect to one index stock will not, by itself, constitute a market disruption event for any other unaffected index stock.

Consequences of a market disruption event or a non-trading day: With respect to any index stock, if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on a day that would otherwise be a coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date), or such day is not a trading day, then such coupon observation date will be postponed as described under "- Coupon observation dates" above. If any coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date) is postponed to the last possible date due to the occurrence of serial non-trading days, the price of each index stock will be the calculation agent's assessment of such price, in its sole discretion, on such last possible postponed coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date). If any coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date) is postponed due to a market disruption event with respect to any index stock, the closing price of each index stock with respect to such coupon observation date will be calculated based on (i) for any index stock that is not affected by a market disruption event on the applicable originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day thereafter (if applicable), the closing price of the index stock on that date, (ii) for any index stock that is affected by a market disruption event on the applicable originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day thereafter (if applicable), the closing price of the index stock on the first following trading day on which no market disruption event exists for such index stock and (iii) the calculation agent's assessment, in its sole discretion, of the price of any index stock on the last possible postponed coupon observation date with respect to such index stock as to which a market disruption event continues through the last possible postponed coupon observation date. As a result, this could result in the closing price on any coupon observation date of each index stock being determined on different calendar dates. For the avoidance of doubt, once the closing price for an index stock is determined for a coupon observation date (or the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date), the occurrence of a later market disruption event or non-trading day will not alter such calculation.

Regular record dates: the scheduled business day immediately preceding the day on which payment is to be made (as such payment date may be adjusted)

Anti-dilution adjustments: The calculation agent will adjust the reference amount of an index stock in respect of each event for which adjustment is required under any of the six subsections beginning with "Stock splits" below (and not in respect of any other event). (If more than one such event occurs, the calculation agent shall adjust the reference amount as so provided for each such event, sequentially, in the order in which such events occur, and on a cumulative basis.) Having adjusted the reference amount for any and all such events as so provided, the calculation agent shall determine a closing price for the reference amount as so adjusted on the coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable. (If the reference amount is adjusted pursuant to "Reorganization events" below so as to consist of distribution property, then the closing price on any coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, shall equal the sum of the respective closing prices or other values for all such distribution property on such coupon observation date or the determination date, as provided in "Reorganization events" below.) Having determined the closing price on any coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, the calculation agent shall use such prices to calculate the coupon, if applicable, the occurrence of a redemption event, or the cash settlement amount. The calculation agent shall make all adjustments no later than the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this note, if an event for which adjustment is required under any of the six subsections beginning with "Stock splits" below occurs, the calculation agent may make the adjustment and any related determinations and calculations in a manner that differs from that specified in this note as necessary to achieve an equitable result. Upon written request by the holder to the calculation agent, the calculation agent will provide the holder with such information about these adjustments as such agent determines is appropriate.

Stock splits. A stock split is an increase in the number of a corporation's outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders' equity. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock split. If an index stock is subject to a stock split, then at the opening of business on the first day on which such index stock trades without the right to receive the stock split, the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount to equal the sum of the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment plus the product of (i) the number of new shares issued in the stock split with respect to one share of such index stock times (ii) the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. The reference amount will not be adjusted, however, unless such first day occurs after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Reverse stock splits. A reverse stock split is a decrease in the number of a corporation's outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders' equity. Each outstanding share will be worth more as a result of a reverse stock split. If an index stock is subject to a reverse stock split, then once the

reverse stock split becomes effective, the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount to equal the product of the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the quotient of (i) the number of shares of such index stock outstanding immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective divided by (ii) the number of shares of such index stock outstanding immediately before the reverse stock split becomes effective. The reference amount will not be adjusted, however, unless the reverse stock split becomes effective after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Stock dividends. In a stock dividend, a corporation issues additional shares of its stock to all holders of its outstanding shares of its stock in proportion to the shares they own. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock dividend. If an index stock is subject to a stock dividend that is given ratably to all holders of such index stock, then at the opening of business on the ex-dividend date, the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount to equal the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment plus the product of (i) the number of shares issued in the stock dividend with respect to one share of such index stock times (ii) the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. The reference amount will not be adjusted, however, unless such ex-dividend date occurs after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Other dividends and distributions. There will be no adjustments to the reference amount to reflect dividends or other distributions paid with respect to an index stock other than:

A dividend or other distribution with respect to an index stock will be deemed to be an "extraordinary dividend" if its per share value of such dividend or other distribution exceeds the per share value of the immediately preceding dividend or distribution with respect to such index stock, if any, that is not an extraordinary dividend by an amount equal to at least 10% of the closing price of such index stock on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such extraordinary dividend.

If an extraordinary dividend occurs with respect to an index stock, the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount to equal the product of (a) the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price of such index stock on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date and the denominator of which is the amount by which such closing price exceeds the extraordinary dividend amount.

The "extraordinary dividend amount" with respect to an extraordinary dividend for an index stock will equal:

To the extent an extraordinary dividend is not paid in cash, the value of the non-cash component will be determined by the calculation agent. A distribution on an index stock that constitutes a stock dividend, an issuance of transferable rights or warrants or a spin-off event and also constitutes an extraordinary dividend will result only in an adjustment to the reference amount pursuant to "Stock dividends" above, "Transferable rights and warrants" below or "Reorganization events" below, as applicable. The reference amount will not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection unless the ex-dividend date for the extraordinary dividend occurs after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Transferable rights and warrants. With respect to an index stock, if the index stock issuer issues transferable rights or warrants to all holders of the index stock to subscribe for or purchase the index stock at an exercise price per share less than the closing price of the index stock on the trading day immediately before the ex-dividend date for such issuance, then the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount by multiplying the reference amount in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction:

The reference amount will not be adjusted, however, unless such ex-dividend date occurs after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Reorganization events. With respect to an index stock, if:

then the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount so that the reference amount consists of the respective amounts of each type of distribution property deemed, for the purposes of this note, to be distributed in such reorganization event in respect of the reference amount as in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, taken together.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the calculation agent will not make any adjustment for a reorganization event unless the event becomes effective - or, if the event is a spin-off event, unless the ex-dividend date for the spin-off event occurs - after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

The calculation agent will determine the value of each component type of distribution property, using the closing price on the relevant day for any such type consisting of securities and such other method as it determines to be appropriate, in its sole discretion, for any other type. If a holder of an index stock may elect to receive different types or combinations of types of distribution property in the reorganization event, the distribution property will be deemed to include the types and amounts thereof distributed to a holder that makes no election, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion. If a reorganization event occurs and as a result the reference amount is adjusted to consist of distribution

property, the calculation agent will make further adjustments for subsequent events that affect such distribution property or any component type thereof, to the same extent that it would make adjustments if an index stock were outstanding and were affected by the same kinds of events. The closing price on a coupon observation date or the determination date will be the total value, as determined by the calculation agent at the close of trading hours of an index stock on such coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, of all components of the reference amount, with each component having been adjusted on a sequential and cumulative basis for all relevant events affecting it.

The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the adjustments described in "Reorganization events" as necessary to ensure an equitable result.

If at any time the reference amount consists of distribution property, as determined by the calculation agent, then all references in this note to an "index stock" shall thereupon be deemed to mean such distribution property and all references in this note to a "share of index stock" shall thereupon be deemed to mean a comparable unit of each type of property comprising such distribution property, as determined by the calculation agent.

Minimum adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be required in respect of any event specified in "Stock splits", "Reverse stock splits", "Stock dividends", "Other dividends and distributions" and "Transferable rights and warrants" above unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 0.1% in the closing price of such index stock. The closing price of an index stock resulting from any adjustment shall be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five hundred-thousandths being rounded upward - e.g., 0.12344 will be rounded down to 0.1234 and 0.12345 will be rounded up to 0.1235.

Distribution property: cash, securities and/or other property distributed in any reorganization event in respect of the relevant reference amount and, in the case of a spin-off event, includes such reference amount

Ex-dividend date: for any dividend or other distribution with respect to an index stock, the first day on which the index stock trades without the right to receive such dividend or other distribution

Reference amount: with respect to an index stock, initially, one share of such index stock which shall be adjusted, as to the amount(s) and/or type(s) of property comprising the same, by the calculation agent as provided under "Anti-dilution adjustments" above

Business day: each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. A day is a scheduled business day if, as of the trade date, such day is scheduled to be a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

Calculation agent: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("GS&Co.")

Default amount: If an event of default occurs and the maturity of this note is accelerated, the company will pay the default amount in respect of the principal of this note at the maturity, instead of the amount payable on the stated maturity date as described earlier. The default amount for the notes on any day (except as provided in the last sentence under "Default quotation period" below) will be an amount, in U.S. dollars, for the face amount of this note, equal to the cost of having a qualified financial institution, of the kind and selected as described below, expressly assume all of the company's payment and other obligations with respect to this note as of that day and as if no default or acceleration had occurred, or to undertake other obligations providing substantially equivalent economic value to you with respect to this note. That cost will equal:

During the default quotation period for this note, which is described below, the holder of the notes and/or the company may request a qualified financial institution to provide a quotation of the amount it would charge to effect this assumption or undertaking. If either party obtains a quotation, it must notify the other party in writing of the quotation. The amount referred to in the first bullet point above will equal the lowest - or, if there is only one, the only - quotation obtained, and as to which notice is so given, during the default quotation period. With respect to any quotation, however, the party not obtaining the quotation may object, on reasonable and significant grounds, to the assumption or undertaking by the qualified financial institution providing the quotation and notify the other party in writing of those grounds within two business days after the last day of the default quotation period, in which case that quotation will be disregarded in determining the default amount.

Default quotation period: The default quotation period is the period beginning on the day the default amount first becomes due and ending on the third business day after that day, unless:

If either of these two events occurs, the default quotation period will continue until the third business day after the first business day on which prompt notice of a quotation is given as described above. If that quotation is objected to as described above within five business days after that first business day, however, the default quotation period will continue as described in the prior sentence and this sentence.

In any event, if the default quotation period and the subsequent two business day objection period have not ended before the determination date, then the default amount will equal the principal amount of this note.

Qualified financial institutions: For the purpose of determining the default amount at any time, a qualified financial institution must be a financial institution organized under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States of America, Europe or Japan, which at that time has outstanding debt obligations with a stated maturity of one year or less from the date of issue and that is, or whose securities are, rated either:

Tax characterization: The holder, on behalf of itself and any other person having a beneficial interest in this note, hereby agrees with the company (in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize this note for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as a variable rate debt instrument or if, based on market conditions on the trade date, the company takes the position that it is reasonably expected that the return on this note during the first half of this note's term will be significantly greater or less than the return on this note during the second half of this note's term, a contingent payment debt instrument.

Overdue principal rate and overdue coupon rate: the effective Federal Funds rate

Defeasance: not applicable

DEFAULT AMOUNT ON ACCELERATION

If an event of default occurs and the maturity of your notes is accelerated, the company will pay the default amount in respect of the principal of your notes at the maturity, instead of the amount payable on the stated maturity date as described earlier. We describe the default amount under "Terms and Conditions" above.

For the purpose of determining whether the holders of our Series F medium-term notes, which include your notes, are entitled to take any action under the indenture, we will treat the outstanding face amount of your notes as the outstanding principal amount of that note. Although the terms of the offered notes differ from those of the other Series F medium-term notes, holders of specified percentages in principal amount of all Series F medium-term notes, together in some cases with other series of our debt securities, will be able to take action affecting all the Series F medium-term notes, including your notes, except with respect to certain Series F medium-term notes if the terms of such notes specify that the holders of specified percentages in principal amount of all of such notes must also consent to such action. This action may involve changing some of the terms that apply to the Series F medium-term notes or waiving some of our obligations under the indenture. In addition, certain changes to the indenture and the notes that only affect certain debt securities may be made with the approval of holders of a majority in principal amount of such affected debt securities. We discuss these matters in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer - Default, Remedies and Waiver of Default" and "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer - Modification of the Debt Indentures and Waiver of Covenants".

Hypothetical ExampleS

Payment 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 are intended merely to illustrate the impact that various hypothetical closing prices of the index stocks on a coupon observation date could have on the coupon payable, if any, on the related coupon payment date assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of index stock prices that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the closing price of any index stock will be on any day throughout the life of your notes, what the closing price of any index stock will be on any coupon observation date. The index stocks have been highly volatile in the past - meaning that the index stock prices have changed substantially in relatively short periods - and their performance cannot be predicted for any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption, 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 index stocks, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor. In addition, the estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models used by GS&Co.) is less than the original issue price of your notes. For more information on the estimated value of your notes, see "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes - The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the Terms of Your Notes Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Notes" on page S-18 of this prospectus supplement. 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	$5.584 (0.5584% monthly, or the potential for up to approximately 6.7% per annum)
Coupon trigger price	with respect to each index stock, 70% of its initial index stock price
Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on any originally scheduled coupon observation date or the originally scheduled determination date
No change in or affecting any of the index stocks
Notes purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption

Moreover, we have not yet set the initial underlier level that will serve as the baseline for determining the coupon payable on each coupon payment date, if any. We will not do so until the trade date. As a result, the actual initial underlier level may differ substantially from the underlier levels prior to the trade date. They may also differ substantially from the underlier levels at the time you purchase your notes.

For these reasons, the actual performance of the index stocks over the life of your notes, the actual index stock prices on any 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 index stock prices shown elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. For information about the index stock prices during recent periods, see "The Index Stocks - Historical Closing Prices of the Index Stocks" on page S-29. Before investing in the notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the index stock prices between the date of this prospectus supplement and the date of your purchase of the notes.

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 notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the index stocks.

Hypothetical Coupon Payments

The examples below show hypothetical performances of each index stock as well as the hypothetical coupons, 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 price of each index stock on the applicable coupon observation date was the percentage of its initial index stock price shown.

Scenario 1

Hypothetical Coupon Observation Date	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Caterpillar Inc. (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Eli Lilly and Company (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Texas Instruments Incorporated (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Coupon
First	30%	45%	55%	$0
Second	65%	55%	35%	$0
Third	90%	90%	95%	$5.584
Fourth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Fifth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Sixth	100%	95%	90%	$5.584
Seventh	60%	45%	40%	$0
Eighth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Ninth	45%	45%	45%	$0
Tenth	55%	55%	55%	$0
Eleventh	65%	65%	65%	$0
Twelfth- Eighty-Fourth	40%	40%	40%	$0
			Total Hypothetical Coupons	$11.168

In Scenario 1, the hypothetical closing price of each index stock increases and decreases by varying amounts on each hypothetical coupon observation date. Because the hypothetical closing price of each index stock on the third and sixth hypothetical coupon observation dates is greater than or equal to its coupon trigger price, the total of the hypothetical coupons in Scenario 1 is $11.168. Because the hypothetical closing price of at least one index stock on all other hypothetical coupon observation dates is less than its coupon trigger price, no further coupons will be paid, including at maturity.

Scenario 2

Hypothetical Coupon Observation Date	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Caterpillar Inc. (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Eli Lilly and Company (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Texas Instruments Incorporated (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Coupon
First	55%	45%	60%	$0
Second	65%	45%	65%	$0
Third	50%	40%	55%	$0
Fourth	60%	50%	45%	$0
Fifth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Sixth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Seventh	60%	45%	40%	$0
Eighth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Ninth	45%	45%	45%	$0
Tenth	55%	55%	55%	$0
Eleventh	65%	65%	65%	$0
Twelfth- Eighty-Fourth	40%	40%	40%	$0
			Total Hypothetical Coupons	$0

In Scenario 2, the hypothetical closing price of each index stock increases and decreases by varying amounts on each hypothetical coupon observation date. Because in each case the hypothetical closing price of at least one index stock on the related coupon observation date is less than its coupon trigger price, you will not receive a coupon payment on the applicable hypothetical coupon payment date. Since this occurs on every hypothetical coupon observation date, the overall return you earn on your notes will be less than zero. Therefore, the total of the hypothetical coupons in Scenario 2 is $0.

Scenario 3

Hypothetical Coupon Observation Date	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Starbucks Corporation (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Closing Price of the Common Stock of Tesla, Inc. (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)	Hypothetical Coupon
First	55%	45%	60%	$0
Second	65%	45%	65%	$0
Third	50%	40%	55%	$0
Fourth	60%	50%	45%	$0
Fifth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Sixth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Seventh	60%	45%	40%	$0
Eighth	60%	45%	40%	$0
Ninth	45%	45%	45%	$0
Tenth	55%	55%	55%	$0
Eleventh	65%	65%	65%	$0
Twelfth	120%	110%	115%	$5.584
			Total Hypothetical Coupons	$5.584

In Scenario 3, the hypothetical closing price of each index stock is less than the coupon trigger price on the first eleven hypothetical coupon observation dates, but increases to a closing price that is greater than its initial index stock price on the twelfth hypothetical coupon observation date. Further, we also exercise our early redemption right with respect to a redemption on the twelfth coupon payment date (which is also the first hypothetical date with respect to which we could exercise such right). Therefore, on the twelfth coupon payment date (the redemption date), in addition to the hypothetical coupon of $5.584, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes.

Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For example, payments on the notes are economically equivalent to a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought by the holder and one or more options entered into between the holder and us (with one or more implicit option premiums paid over time). The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes, as described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.

We cannot predict the actual closing prices of the index stocks on any day or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the closing prices of the index stocks and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual coupon payment, if any, that a holder of the notes will receive on each coupon payment date, and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on whether or not the notes are redeemed, the actual initial index stock prices, which we will set on the trade date, and the actual closing prices of the index stocks determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical examples are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the coupon to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, may be very different from the information reflected in the examples above.

Anti-dilution Adjustment Examples

The calculation agent will adjust the closing price of an index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, only if an event described under one of the six subsections beginning with "Stock splits" under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" occurs and only if the relevant event occurs during the period described under the applicable subsection. The adjustments described under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" do not cover all events that could affect the closing price of an index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, such as an issuer tender or exchange offer for such index stock at a premium to its market price or a tender or exchange offer made by a third party for less than all outstanding shares of such index stock. We describe the risks relating to dilution under "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes - You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection" below.

How Adjustments Will Be Made

In this prospectus supplement, we refer to anti-dilution adjustment of the closing price of an index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable. With respect to an index stock, if an event requiring anti-dilution adjustment occurs, the calculation agent will make the adjustment by taking the following steps:

Step One. The calculation agent will adjust the reference amount. This term refers to the amount of the index stock or other property that must be used to determine the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable. For example, if no adjustment described under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" is required at a time, the reference amount for that time will be one share of the index stock. In that case, the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, will be the closing price of one share of the index stock on the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date. We describe how the closing price will be determined under "Terms and Conditions - Closing price" above.

If an adjustment described under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" is required because one of the dilution events described in the first five subsections beginning with "Stock splits" under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" - these involve stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, other dividends and distributions and issuances of transferable rights and warrants - occurs, then the adjusted reference amount at that time might instead be, for example, two shares of the index stock or a half share of the index stock, depending on the event. In that example, the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, would be the price (determined as specified under "Terms and Conditions - Closing price" above) at the close of trading on the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date of two shares of the index stock or a half share of the index stock, as applicable.

If an adjustment described under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" is required at a time because one of the reorganization events described under "Terms and Conditions - Reorganization events" - these involve events in which cash, securities or other property is distributed in respect of the index stock - occurs, then the reference amount at that time will be adjusted to be as follows, assuming there has been no prior or subsequent anti-dilution adjustment: the amount of each type of the property distributed in the reorganization event in respect of one share of the index stock, plus one share of the index stock if the index stock remains outstanding. In that event, the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, would be the value of the adjusted reference amount at the close of trading on such coupon observation date or the determination date.

The manner in which the calculation agent adjusts the reference amount in step one will depend on the type of dilution event requiring adjustment. These events and the nature of the required adjustments are described in the six subsections beginning with "Stock splits" under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments".

Step Two. Having adjusted the reference amount in step one, the calculation agent will determine the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, in the following manner.

If the adjusted reference amount at the applicable time consists entirely of shares of the index stock, the index stock price will be the closing price (determined as described under "Terms and Conditions - Closing price" above) of the adjusted reference amount on the applicable date.

On the other hand, if the adjusted reference amount at the applicable time includes any property other than shares of the index stock, the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, will be the value of the adjusted reference amount as determined by

the calculation agent in the manner described under "- Adjustments for Reorganization Events" below at the applicable time.

Step Three. Having determined the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, in step two, the calculation agent will use such price to calculate the coupon payable on the applicable coupon payment date, if any, or the cash settlement amount.

If more than one event requiring adjustment as described under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" occurs, the calculation agent will first adjust the reference amount as described in step one above for each event, sequentially, in the order in which the events occur, and on a cumulative basis. Thus, having adjusted the reference amount for the first event, the calculation agent will repeat step one for the second event, applying the required adjustment to the reference amount as already adjusted for the first event, and so on for each event. Having adjusted the reference amount for all events, the calculation agent will then take the remaining applicable steps in the process described above, determining the closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, using the reference amount as sequentially and cumulatively adjusted for all the relevant events. The calculation agent will make all required determinations and adjustments no later than the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

The calculation agent will adjust the reference amount for each reorganization event described under "Terms and Conditions - Reorganization events" above. For any other dilution event described above, however, the calculation agent will not be required to adjust the reference amount unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 0.1% in the index stock price that would apply without the adjustment. The closing price of the index stock on a coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable, resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five hundred-thousandths being rounded upward - e.g., 0.12344 will be rounded down to 0.1234 and 0.12345 will be rounded up to 0.1235.

If an event requiring anti-dilution adjustment occurs, the calculation agent will make the adjustment with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the economic position of the holder, GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor, relative to your notes, that results solely from that event. The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the anti-dilution adjustments as necessary to ensure an equitable result.

The calculation agent will make all determinations with respect to anti-dilution adjustments, including any determination as to whether an event requiring adjustment has occurred, as to the nature of the adjustment required and how it will be made or as to the value of any property distributed in a reorganization event, and will do so in its sole discretion. In the absence of manifest error, those determinations will be conclusive for all purposes and will be binding on you and us, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent. The calculation agent will provide information about the adjustments it makes upon written request by the holder.

In this prospectus supplement, when we say that the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount for one or more dilution events, we mean that the calculation agent will take all the applicable steps described above with respect to those events.

The six subsections beginning with "Stock splits" under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" describe the dilution events for which the reference amount is to be adjusted. Each subsection describes the manner in which the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount - the first step in the adjustment process described above - for the relevant event.

Adjustments for Reorganization Events

If a reorganization event occurs, then the calculation agent will adjust the reference amount so that it consists of the amount of each type of distribution property described under "Terms and Conditions - Reorganization events" above distributed in respect of one share of an index stock - or in respect of whatever the prior reference amount may be - in the reorganization event, taken together. For purposes of the three-step adjustment process described under "- How Adjustments Will Be Made" above, the distribution property so distributed will be the adjusted reference amount described in step one, the value of that property at the close of trading hours for an index stock on the applicable date will be the index stock price described in step two, and the calculation agent will determine the coupon payable on a coupon payment date, if any, or the cash settlement amount as described in step three. As described under "- How Adjustments Will Be Made" above, the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the adjustments described in this paragraph as necessary to ensure an equitable result.

The calculation agent will determine the value of each type of distribution property in its sole discretion. For any distribution property consisting of a security, the calculation agent will use the closing price (calculated according to the same methodology as specified in this prospectus supplement, without any anti-dilution adjustments) of one share of such security on the applicable date. The calculation agent may value other types of property in any manner it determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. If a holder of an index stock may elect to receive different types or combinations of types of distribution property in the reorganization event, the distribution property will consist of the types and amounts of each type distributed to a holder that makes no election, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion. As described under "- How Adjustments Will Be Made" above, the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the adjustments described in this paragraph as necessary to ensure an equitable result.

If a reorganization event occurs and the calculation agent adjusts the reference amount to consist of the distribution property distributed in the reorganization event, as described above, the calculation agent will make any further anti-dilution adjustments for later events that affect the distribution property, or any component of the distribution property, comprising the new reference amount. The calculation agent will do so to the same extent that it would make adjustments if an index stock were outstanding and were affected by the same kinds of events. If a subsequent reorganization event affects only a particular component of the reference amount, the required adjustment will be made with respect to that component, as if it alone were the reference amount.

For example, if an index stock issuer merges into another company and each share of such index stock is converted into the right to receive two common shares of the surviving company and a specified amount of cash, the reference amount will be adjusted to consist of two common shares of the surviving company and the specified amount of cash for each share of index stock (adjusted proportionately for any partial share) comprising the reference amount before the adjustment. The calculation agent will adjust the common share component of the adjusted reference amount to reflect any later stock split or other event, including any later reorganization event, that affects the common shares of the surviving company, to the extent described in this subsection entitled "- Anti-dilution Adjustment Examples" as if the common shares of the surviving company were such index stock. In that event, the cash component will not be adjusted but will continue to be a component of the reference amount. Consequently, each component included in the reference amount will be adjusted on a sequential and cumulative basis for all relevant events requiring adjustment up to the relevant date.

The calculation agent will not make any adjustment for a reorganization event, however, unless the event becomes effective (or, if the event is a spin-off, unless the ex-dividend date for the spin-off occurs) after the trade date and on or before the applicable coupon observation date or the determination date, as applicable.

Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks and considerations described in the accompanying prospectus and in the accompanying prospectus supplement. You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the index stocks. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are appropriate given your particular circumstances.

Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

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

The original issue price for your notes exceeds the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, as determined by reference to GS&Co.'s pricing models and taking into account our credit spreads. Such estimated value on the trade date is set forth above under "Estimated Value of Your Notes"; after the trade date, the estimated value as determined by reference to these models will be affected by changes in market conditions, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor, and other relevant factors. The price at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell your notes (if GS&Co. makes a market, which it is not obligated to do), and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise, also exceeds the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these models. As agreed by GS&Co. and the distribution participants, this excess (i.e., the additional amount described under "Estimated Value of Your Notes") will decline to zero on a straight line basis over the period from the date hereof through the applicable date set forth above under "Estimated Value of Your Notes". Thereafter, if GS&Co. buys or sells your notes it will do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to such pricing models at that time. The price at which GS&Co. will buy or sell your notes at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

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

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

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by GS&Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness or the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. These changes may adversely affect the value of your notes, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the

extent that GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price will reflect the estimated value determined by reference to GS&Co.'s pricing models at that time, plus or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes (and subject to the declining excess amount described above).

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

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See "- Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market" below.

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

Although the coupons (if any) and return on the notes will be based on the performance of each index stock, the payment of any amount due on the notes is subject to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp., as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes. The notes are our unsecured obligations. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, 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 notes, to pay all amounts due on the notes, 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.

You May Not Receive a Coupon on Any Coupon Payment Date

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

You will only receive a coupon on a coupon payment date if the closing price of each index stock on the related coupon observation date is greater than or equal to its coupon trigger price. 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. Further, there is no guarantee that you will receive any coupon payment with respect to the notes at any time.

We Are Able to Redeem Your Notes at Our Option

On each coupon payment date commencing in November 2025 and ending in October 2031, we will be permitted to redeem your notes at our option. Even if we do not exercise our option to redeem your notes, our ability to do so may adversely affect the value of your notes. It is our sole option whether to redeem your notes prior to maturity and we may or may not exercise this option for any reason. Because of this redemption option, the term of your notes could be reduced.

The Coupon Does Not Reflect the Actual Performance of the Index Stocks 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 prices of the index stocks between the trade date and any coupon observation date or between two coupon observation dates. Accordingly, the coupons, if any, on the notes may be less than the return you could earn on another instrument linked to the index stocks that pays coupons based on the performance of the index stocks from the trade date to any coupon observation date or from coupon observation date to coupon observation date.

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:

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, and many other factors, will influence the price you will receive 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 before maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes.

You cannot predict the future performance of the index stocks based on their historical performance. The actual performance of the index stocks over the life of the offered notes, the cash settlement amount paid on the stated maturity date, as well as the coupon payable, if any, on each coupon payment date, may bear little or no relation to the historical closing prices of the index stocks or to the hypothetical examples shown elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.

Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market

Your notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or included in any interdealer market quotation system, and there may be little or no secondary market for your notes. Even if a secondary market for your notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity and we expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and asked prices for your notes in any secondary market could be substantial.

If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected

The amount we will pay you at maturity or upon any early redemption of your notes will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the face amount of the notes, then the return on your investment in such notes held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at face amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption, the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount or a discount to face amount. In addition, the impact of the trigger buffer price on the return on your investment will depend upon the price you pay for your notes relative to face amount. For example, if you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount, the trigger buffer price, while still providing some protection for the notes, will allow a greater percentage decrease in your investment in the notes than would have been the case for notes purchased at face amount or a discount to face amount.

If the Market Prices of the Index Stocks Change, the Market Value of Your Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner

The price of your notes may move differently than the performance of the index stocks. Changes in the market prices of the index stocks may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your notes. Even if the closing price of each index stock is greater than or equal to its trigger buffer price during some portion of the life of the notes, the market value of your notes may not reflect this. We discuss some of the reasons for this disparity under "- The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors" above.

We Will Not Hold Shares of the Index Stocks for Your Benefit

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

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

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

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

Following certain corporate events relating to an index stock where its issuer is not the surviving entity, the amount you receive at maturity may be based on the securities of a successor to such index stock issuer or any cash or any other assets distributed to holders of shares of such index stock in such corporate event. The occurrence of these corporate events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the notes. We describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting distribution property (as described above) under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments".

Past Index Stock Performance is No Guide to Future Performance

The actual performance of the index stocks over the life of the notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity or on any coupon payment date, as applicable, if any, may bear little relation to the historical closing prices of the index stocks or to the hypothetical examples set forth elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. We cannot predict the future performance of the index stocks.

As Calculation Agent, GS&Co. Will Have the Authority to Make Determinations that Could Affect the Value of Your Notes

As calculation agent for your notes, GS&Co. will have discretion in making certain determinations that affect your notes, including determining: the closing prices of the index stocks on any coupon observation date, which we will use to determine the coupon, if any, we will pay on any applicable coupon payment date; whether to postpone a coupon observation date because of a market disruption event or a non-trading day; when and how to make anti-dilution adjustments to the index stock prices; and the coupon observation dates and the coupon payment dates; and the stated maturity date. See "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" above. The exercise of this discretion by GS&Co. could adversely affect the value of your notes and may present GS&Co. with a conflict of interest. We may change the calculation agent at any time without notice and GS&Co. may resign as calculation agent at any time upon 60 days' written notice to us.

The Calculation Agent Can Postpone a Coupon Observation Date If a Market Disruption Event or a Non-Trading Day Occurs or is Continuing

If the calculation agent determines that, on a date that would otherwise be a coupon observation date, a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing with respect to any index stock or that day is not a

trading day with respect to any index stock, such coupon observation date will be postponed as provided under "Terms and Conditions - Coupon observation dates". In no case, however, will the coupon observation date be postponed to a date later than the corresponding originally scheduled coupon payment date, or if the corresponding originally scheduled coupon payment date is not a business day, later than the first business day after the corresponding originally scheduled coupon payment date. Moreover, if a coupon observation date is postponed to the last possible day, but the market disruption event has not ceased by that day or that day is not a trading day, that day will nevertheless be the coupon observation date for the corresponding coupon payment date. In such a case, the calculation agent will determine the applicable closing prices of the index stocks for such coupon observation date based on the procedures described under "Terms and Conditions - Consequences of a market disruption event or a non-trading day" above.

There is No Affiliation Between the Index Stock Issuers and Us

Goldman Sachs is not affiliated with the index stock issuers. As discussed above, however, we or our affiliates may currently or from time to time in the future engage in business with the index stock issuers. Neither we nor any of our affiliates have participated in the preparation of any publicly available information or made any "due diligence" investigation or inquiry with respect to the index stock issuers. You, as an investor in your note, should make your own investigation into the index stock issuers.

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

You Have Limited Anti-Dilution Protection

GS&Co., as calculation agent for your note, will adjust the index stock prices for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, extraordinary dividends, reorganization events, and other events that affect the index stock issuers', or any distribution property issuers', capital structure, but only in the situations we describe in "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments" above. The calculation agent will not be required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that may affect an index stock. For example, the calculation agent will not adjust the index stock prices for events such as an offering of the index stocks for cash by the index stock issuers, a tender or exchange offer for the index stocks at a premium to their then-current market prices by the index stock issuers or a tender or exchange offer for less than all the outstanding shares of the index stocks by a third party. In addition, the calculation agent will not adjust the reference amount for regular cash dividends. Furthermore, the calculation agent will determine in its sole discretion whether to make adjustments with respect to corporate or other events as described under "Terms and Conditions - Anti-dilution adjustments - Reorganization events" above. Those events or other actions by the index stock issuers or a third party may nevertheless adversely affect the market price of one share of the index stocks and, therefore, adversely affect the market value of your notes. The index stock issuers or a third party could make an offering or a tender or exchange offer, or the index stock issuers could take any other action, that adversely affects the market prices of the index stocks and the market value of your note but does not result in an anti-dilution adjustment for your benefit.

We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Face Amount of the Notes at a Different Issue Price

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

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Hedging Activities by Goldman Sachs or Our Distributors May Negatively Impact Investors in the Notes and Cause Our Interests and Those of Our Clients and Counterparties to be Contrary to Those of Investors in the Notes

Goldman Sachs has hedged or expects to hedge our obligations under the notes by purchasing shares of the index stocks and listed or over-the-counter options, futures and/or other instruments linked to the index stocks. Goldman Sachs also expects to adjust the hedge by, among other things, purchasing or selling any of the foregoing, and perhaps other instruments linked to the index stocks, at any time and from time to time, and to unwind the hedge by selling any of the foregoing on or before the determination date for your notes. Alternatively, Goldman Sachs may hedge all or part of our obligations under the notes with unaffiliated distributors of the notes which we expect will undertake similar market activity. Goldman Sachs may also enter into, adjust and unwind hedging transactions relating to other notes whose returns are linked to changes in the prices of the index stocks.

In addition to entering into such transactions itself, or distributors entering into such transactions, Goldman Sachs may structure such transactions for its clients or counterparties, or otherwise advise or assist clients or counterparties in entering into such transactions. These activities may be undertaken to achieve a variety of objectives, including: permitting other purchasers of the notes or other securities to hedge their investment in whole or in part; facilitating transactions for other clients or counterparties that may have business objectives or investment strategies that are inconsistent with or contrary to those of investors in the notes; hedging the exposure of Goldman Sachs to the notes including any interest in the notes that it reacquires or retains as part of the offering process, through its market-making activities or otherwise; enabling Goldman Sachs to comply with its internal risk limits or otherwise manage firmwide, business unit or product risk; and/or enabling Goldman Sachs to take directional views as to relevant markets on behalf of itself or its clients or counterparties that are inconsistent with or contrary to the views and objectives of the investors in the notes.

Any of these hedging or other activities may adversely affect the prices of the index stocks - directly or indirectly- and therefore the market value of your notes and the amount we will pay on your notes, if any. In addition, you should expect that these transactions will cause Goldman Sachs or its clients, counterparties or distributors to have economic interests and incentives that do not align with, and that may be directly contrary to, those of an investor in the notes. Neither Goldman Sachs nor any distributor will have any obligation to take, refrain from taking or cease taking any action with respect to these transactions based on the potential effect on an investor in the notes, and may receive substantial returns on hedging or other activities while the value of your notes declines. In addition, if the distributor from which you purchase notes is to conduct hedging activities in connection with the notes, that distributor may otherwise profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation that the distributor receives for the sale of the notes to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the distributor to sell the notes to you in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the notes.

Goldman Sachs is a global investment banking, securities and investment management firm that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and individuals. As such, it acts as an investor, investment banker, research provider, investment manager, investment advisor, market maker, trader, prime broker and lender. In those and other capacities, Goldman Sachs purchases, sells or holds a broad array of investments, actively trades securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps, indices, baskets and other financial instruments and products for its own account or for the accounts of its customers, and will have other direct or indirect interests, in the global fixed income, currency, commodity, equity, bank loan and other markets. Any of Goldman Sachs' financial market activities may, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the market for your notes, and you should expect that the interests of Goldman Sachs or its clients or counterparties will at times be adverse to those of investors in the notes.

Goldman Sachs regularly offers a wide array of securities, financial instruments and other products into the marketplace, including existing or new products that are similar to your notes, or similar or linked to the index stocks. Investors in the notes should expect that Goldman Sachs will offer securities, financial instruments, and other products that will compete with the notes for liquidity, research coverage or otherwise.

Goldman Sachs' Market-Making Activities Could Negatively Impact Investors in the Notes

Goldman Sachs actively makes markets in and trades financial instruments for its own account and for the accounts of customers. These financial instruments include debt and equity securities, currencies, commodities, bank loans, indices, baskets and other products. Goldman Sachs' activities include, among other things, executing large block trades and taking long and short positions directly and indirectly, through derivative instruments or otherwise. The securities and instruments in which Goldman Sachs takes positions, or expects to take positions, include securities and instruments of an index stock issuer, securities and instruments similar to or linked to the foregoing or the currencies in which they are denominated. Market making is an activity where Goldman Sachs buys and sells on behalf of customers, or for its own account, to satisfy the expected demand of customers. By its nature, market making involves facilitating transactions among market participants that have differing views of securities and instruments. As a result, you should expect that Goldman Sachs will take positions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of investors in the notes.

If Goldman Sachs becomes a holder of the index stocks in its capacity as a market-maker or otherwise, any actions that it takes in its capacity as securityholder, including voting or provision of consents, will not necessarily be aligned with, and may be inconsistent with, the interests of investors in the notes.

You Should Expect That Goldman Sachs Personnel Will Take Research Positions, or Otherwise Make Recommendations, Provide Investment Advice or Market Color or Encourage Trading Strategies That Might Negatively Impact Investors in the Notes

Goldman Sachs and its personnel, including its sales and trading, investment research and investment management personnel, regularly make investment recommendations, provide market color or trading ideas, or publish or express independent views in respect of a wide range of markets, issuers, securities and instruments. They regularly implement, or recommend to clients that they implement, various investment strategies relating to these markets, issuers, securities and instruments. These strategies include, for example, buying or selling credit protection against a default or other event involving an issuer or financial instrument. Any of these recommendations and views may be negative with respect to the index stocks or other securities or instruments similar to or linked to the foregoing or result in trading strategies that have a negative impact on the market for any such securities or instruments, particularly in illiquid markets. In addition, you should expect that personnel in the trading and investing businesses of Goldman Sachs will have or develop independent views of the index stocks, the relevant industry or other market trends, which may not be aligned with the views and objectives of investors in the notes.

Goldman Sachs Regularly Provides Services to, or Otherwise Has Business Relationships with, a Broad Client Base, Which May Include the Issuers of the Index Stocks or Other Entities That Are Involved in the Transaction

Goldman Sachs regularly provides financial advisory, investment advisory and transactional services to a substantial and diversified client base, and you should assume that Goldman Sachs will, at present or in the future, provide such services or otherwise engage in transactions with, among others, the issuers of the index stocks, or transact in securities or instruments or with parties that are directly or indirectly related to the foregoing. These services could include making loans to or equity investments in those companies, providing financial advisory or other investment banking services, or issuing research reports. You should expect that Goldman Sachs, in providing such services, engaging in such transactions, or acting for its own account, may take actions that have direct or indirect effects on the index stocks and that such actions could be adverse to the interests of investors in the notes. In addition, in connection with these activities, certain Goldman Sachs personnel may have access to confidential material non-public information about these parties that would not be disclosed to Goldman Sachs employees that were not working on such transactions as Goldman Sachs has established internal information barriers that are designed to preserve the confidentiality of non-public information. Therefore, any such confidential material non-public information would not be shared with Goldman Sachs employees involved in structuring, selling or making markets in the notes or with investors in the notes.

In this offering, as well as in all other circumstances in which Goldman Sachs receives any fees or other compensation in any form relating to services provided to or transactions with any other party, no accounting, offset or payment in respect of the notes will be required or made; Goldman Sachs will be entitled to retain all such fees and other amounts, and no fees or other compensation payable by any party or indirectly by holders of the notes will be reduced by reason of receipt by Goldman Sachs of any such other fees or other amounts.

The Offering of the Notes May Reduce an Existing Exposure of Goldman Sachs or Facilitate a Transaction or Position That Serves the Objectives of Goldman Sachs or Other Parties

A completed offering may reduce Goldman Sachs' existing exposure to the index stocks, securities and instruments similar to or linked to the foregoing or the currencies in which they are denominated, including exposure gained through hedging transactions in anticipation of this offering. An offering of notes will effectively transfer a portion of Goldman Sachs' exposure (and indirectly transfer the exposure of Goldman Sachs' hedging or other counterparties) to investors in the notes.

The terms of the offering (including the selection of the index stocks, and the establishment of other transaction terms) may have been selected in order to serve the investment or other objectives of Goldman Sachs or another client or counterparty of Goldman Sachs. In such a case, Goldman Sachs would typically receive the input of other parties that are involved in or otherwise have an interest in the offering, transactions hedged by the offering, or related transactions. The incentives of these other parties would normally differ from and in many cases be contrary to those of investors in the notes.

Other Investors in the Notes May Not Have the Same Interests as You

Other investors in the notes 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 or in making requests or recommendations to Goldman Sachs as to the establishment of other transaction terms. The interests of other investors may, in some circumstances, be adverse to your interests. For example, certain investors may take short positions (directly or indirectly through derivative transactions) on assets that are the same or similar to your notes, index stocks or other similar securities, which may adversely impact the market for or value of your notes.

Risks Related to Tax

Certain Considerations for Insurance Companies and Employee Benefit Plans

Any insurance company or fiduciary of a pension plan or other employee benefit plan that is subject to the prohibited transaction rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which we call "ERISA", or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including an IRA or a Keogh plan (or a governmental plan to which similar prohibitions apply), and that is considering purchasing the offered notes with the assets of the insurance company or the assets of such a plan, should consult with its counsel regarding whether the purchase or holding of the offered notes could become a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code or any substantially similar prohibition in light of the representations a purchaser or holder in any of the above categories is deemed to make by purchasing and holding the offered notes. This is discussed in more detail under "Employee Retirement Income Security Act" below.

The Tax Treatment of Your Notes is Uncertain. However, It Would be Reasonable To Treat Your Notes as Variable Rate Debt Instruments for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

The tax treatment of your notes is uncertain. However, it would be reasonable to treat your notes as variable rate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the issuer expects to so treat the notes. Under those rules, you generally will be required to account for coupons on the notes in the manner described under "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" below. If you are a secondary purchaser of the notes, the tax consequences to you may be different. Please see "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" below for a more detailed discussion. 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.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding May Apply to Payments on Your Notes, Including as a Result of the Failure of the Bank or Broker Through Which You Hold the Notes 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 notes.

Use of Proceeds

We intend to lend the net proceeds from the sale of the offered notes to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or its affiliates. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. expects to use the proceeds from such loans for the purposes we describe in the accompanying prospectus under "Use of Proceeds". We or our affiliates may also use those proceeds in transactions intended to hedge our obligations under the offered notes as described below.

Hedging

In anticipation of the sale of the offered notes, we and/or our affiliates have entered into or expect to enter into hedging transactions involving purchases of the index stocks and listed or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments linked to the index stocks on or before the trade date. In addition, from time to time, we and/or our affiliates expect to enter into additional hedging transactions and to unwind those we have entered into, in connection with the offered notes and perhaps in connection with other notes we issue, some of which may have returns linked to index stocks. Consequently, with regard to your notes, from time to time, we and/or our affiliates:

We and/or our affiliates may also acquire a long or short position in securities similar to your notes from time to time and may, in our or their sole discretion, hold or resell those securities.

In the future, we and/or our affiliates expect to close out hedge positions relating to the offered notes and perhaps relating to other notes with returns linked to the index stocks. We expect these steps to involve sales of instruments linked to the index stocks on or shortly before the determination date. These steps may also involve sales and/or purchases of the index stocks, or listed or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments linked to the index stock or indices designed to track the performance of the New York Stock Exchange or other components of the U.S. equity market.

The hedging activity discussed above may adversely affect the market value of your notes from time to time and the amount we will pay on your notes at maturity. See "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes" above for a discussion of these adverse effects.

The Index stocks

Where Information About the Index Stock Issuers Can Be Obtained

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

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

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

We Obtained the Information About the Index Stock Issuers From The Index Stock Issuers' Public Filings

This prospectus supplement relates only to your note and does not relate to the index stocks or other securities of the index stock issuers. We have derived all information about the index stock issuers in this prospectus 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 index stock issuers in connection with the offering of your note. Furthermore, we do not know whether all events occurring before the date of this prospectus 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 index stocks - 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 index stock issuers could affect the value you will receive at maturity and, therefore, the market value of your note.

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

We or any of our affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with the index stock issuers, including making loans to or equity investments in the index stock issuers or providing advisory services to the index stock issuers, 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 index stock issuers and, in addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports about the index stock issuers. As an investor in a note, you should undertake such independent investigation of the index stock issuers as in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in a note.

Historical Closing Prices of the Index Stocks

The closing prices of the index stocks have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. In particular, the index stocks have recently experienced extreme and unusual volatility. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing prices of any index stocks during the period shown below is not an indication that such index stocks are more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the life of your notes.

You should not take the historical closing prices of an index stock as an indication of the future performance of an index stock, including because of the recent volatility described above. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of any index stock will result in your receiving any coupon payments.

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the performance of the index stocks. Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the relevant prices of the index stocks between the date of this prospectus supplement and the date of your purchase of the notes and, given the recent volatility described above, you should pay particular attention to recent prices of the index stocks. The actual performance of an index stock over the life of the offered notes may bear little relation to the historical prices shown below.

The graphs below, except where otherwise indicated, show the daily historical closing prices of each index stock from January 1, 2019 through November 18, 2024, adjusted for corporate events, if applicable. As a result, the following graphs do not reflect the global financial crisis which began in 2008, which had a materially negative impact on the price of most equity securities. We obtained the closing prices in the graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification.

According to publicly available information, Caterpillar Inc. is a manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives.

Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus.

The following section is the opinion of Sidley Austin llp, counsel to GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. In addition, it is the opinion of Sidley Austin llp that the characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes that will be required under the terms of the notes, as discussed below, is a reasonable interpretation of current law.

This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

Although this section is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect, no statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how your notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as a result, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in your notes are uncertain. Moreover, these laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the notes, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

United States Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a United States holder that holds your notes as a capital asset for tax purposes. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of a note and you are:

Tax Treatment. The tax treatment of your notes is uncertain. The tax treatment of your notes will depend upon whether the notes are properly treated as variable rate debt instruments or contingent payment debt instruments. This in turn depends, in part, upon whether it is reasonably expected that the return on the

notes during the first half of the notes' term will be significantly greater or less than the return on the notes during the second half of the notes' term. Based on our numerical analysis, we expect to take the position that it is not reasonably expected that the return on the notes during the first half of the notes' term will be significantly greater or less than the return on the notes during the second half of the notes' term. We accordingly expect to treat your notes as variable rate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Based on market conditions on the trade date, we may take the position that it is reasonably expected that the return on the notes during the first half of the notes term will be significantly greater or less than the return on the notes during the second half of the notes term. In this case, we would treat your notes as contingent payment debt instruments, as discussed below under "Alternative Treatments". We will make a final determination as to the manner in which we intend to treat the notes on the trade date based on market conditions in effect at such time. The final prospectus supplement will set forth the manner in which we intend to treat the notes for tax purposes. Except as otherwise noted below under "Alternative Treatments," the discussion below assumes that the notes will be treated as variable rate debt instruments for tax purposes. Under this characterization, you should include the coupon payments on the notes in ordinary income at the time you receive or accrue such payments, depending on your regular method of accounting for tax purposes.

Our determination that it is not reasonably expected that the return on your notes during the first half of the notes' term will be significantly greater or less than the return on your notes during the second half of the notes' term is made solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and is not a prediction or guarantee as to whether the return on the notes during the first half of the notes' term will or will not be significantly greater or less than the return on the notes during the second half of the notes' term.

You will generally recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash you receive at such time (other than amounts representing accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such) and your adjusted basis in your notes. See the discussion under "United States Taxation - Taxation of Debt Securities - United States Holders - Purchase, Sale and Retirement of the Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus for more information.

If you purchase the notes at a discount to the principal amount of the notes, you may be subject to the rules governing market discount as described under "United States Taxation - Taxation of Debt Securities - United States Holders - Market Discount" in the accompanying prospectus. If you purchase the notes at a premium to the principal amount of the notes, you will be subject to the rules governing premium as described under "United States Taxation - Taxation of Debt Securities - United States Holders - Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium" in the accompanying prospectus.

Alternative Treatments. If it is determined that it is reasonably expected that the return on the notes during the first half of the notes' term will be significantly greater or less than the return on the notes during the second half of the notes' term, the notes should be treated as a debt instrument subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the notes are so treated, you would be required to accrue interest income over the term of your notes based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms and conditions similar to your notes. In addition, you would be required to construct a projected payment schedule for the notes and you would make a "positive adjustment" to the extent of any excess of an actual payment over the corresponding projected payment under the notes, and you would make a "negative adjustment" to the extent of the excess of any projected payment over the corresponding actual payment under the notes. You would recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount you receive at such time and your adjusted tax basis in your notes. Any gain you recognize upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes would be treated as ordinary income and any loss recognized by you at such time would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included in income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of your notes, and, thereafter, as capital loss.

It is also possible that the Internal Revenue Service could determine that the notes should be subject to special rules for notes that provide for alternative payment schedules if one of such schedules is

significantly more likely than not to occur. If your notes are subject to those rules, you would generally be required to include the stated interest on your notes in income as it accrues even if you are otherwise subject to the cash basis method of accounting for tax purposes. The rules for notes that provide alternative payment schedules if one of such schedules is significantly more likely than not to occur are discussed under "United States Taxation-United States Holders-Original Issue Discount-Debt Securities Subject to Contingencies Including Optional Redemption" in the accompanying prospectus.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible alternative treatments in respect of the notes.

Non-United States Holders

If you are a non-United States holder, please see the discussion under "United States Taxation -Taxation of Debt Securities - Non-United States Holders" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the tax consequences relevant to you. You are a non-United States holder if you are the beneficial owner of the notes and are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

In addition, 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 coupon payments and amounts you receive upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, could be collected via withholding. If these regulations were to apply to the notes, we may be required to withhold such taxes if any U.S.-source dividends are paid on the index stocks during the term of the notes. We could also require you to make certifications (e.g., an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8) prior to any coupon payment or the maturity of the notes 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 notes, your notes 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 notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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.

Employee Retirement Income Security Act

This section is only relevant to you if you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan (including a governmental plan, an IRA or a Keogh Plan) proposing to invest in the notes.

The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), prohibit certain transactions ("prohibited transactions") involving the assets of an employee benefit plan that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (including individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans and other plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) (a "Plan") and certain persons who are "parties in interest" (within the meaning of ERISA) or "disqualified persons" (within the meaning of the Code) with respect to the Plan; governmental plans may be subject to similar prohibitions unless an exemption applies to the transaction. The assets of a Plan may include assets held in the general account of an insurance company that are deemed "plan assets" under ERISA or assets of certain investment vehicles in which the Plan invests. Each of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates may be considered a "party in interest" or a "disqualified person" with respect to many Plans, and, accordingly, prohibited transactions may arise if the notes are acquired by or on behalf of a Plan unless those notes are acquired and held pursuant to an available exemption. In general, available exemptions include: transactions effected on behalf of that Plan by a "qualified professional asset manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 84-14) or an "in-house asset manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 96-23), transactions involving insurance company general accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 95-60), transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 90-1), transactions involving bank collective investment funds (prohibited transaction exemption 91-38) and transactions with service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code where the Plan receives no less and pays no more than "adequate consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code). The person making the decision on behalf of a Plan or a governmental plan shall be deemed, on behalf of itself and the plan, by purchasing and holding the notes, or exercising any rights related thereto, to represent that (a) the plan will receive no less and pay no more than "adequate consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code) in connection with the purchase and holding of the notes, (b) none of the purchase, holding or disposition of the notes or the exercise of any rights related to the notes will result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (or, with respect to a governmental plan, under any similar applicable law or regulation), and (c) neither The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates is a "fiduciary" (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) or, with respect to a governmental plan, under any similar applicable law or regulation) with respect to the purchaser or holder in connection with such person's acquisition, disposition or holding of the notes, or as a result of any exercise by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates of any rights in connection with the notes, and neither The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates has provided investment advice in connection with such person's acquisition, disposition or holding of the notes.

If you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan (including a governmental plan, an IRA or a Keogh plan), and propose to invest in the notes, you should consult your legal counsel.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

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 prospectus 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 prospectus supplement, and to certain securities dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of % of the face amount. GS&Co. may pay a referral fee of % from the concession to another dealer in connection with its marketing efforts related to the offered notes. The original issue price for notes purchased by certain retirement accounts and certain fee-based advisory accounts will be % of the face amount of the notes, which will reduce the underwriting discount specified on the cover of this prospectus supplement with respect to such notes to %.

In the future, GS&Co. or other affiliates of GS Finance Corp. may repurchase and resell the offered notes in market-making transactions, with resales being made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of resale or at negotiated prices. GS Finance Corp. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ . For more information about the plan of distribution and possible market-making activities, see "Plan of Distribution" in the accompanying prospectus.

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 expect to deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on November 29, 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 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.
