Article VII, Section 7.5 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Registrant, a Delaware statutory trust, provides for
indemnification of the Trustees, officers and employees of the Registrant by the Registrant, subject to certain limitations. The Declaration of Trust is incorporated by reference to Exhibit
(a).
Section 6 of the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Distributor dated March 26, 2015, provides that
the Registrant will indemnify Distributor against certain liabilities, subject to certain conditions. A copy of the Distribution Agreement is incorporated by reference as Exhibit
(e), to the Registrants Registration Statement.
Fund and trustees and officers liability policies purchased by the Registrant,
Goldman Sachs MLP Income Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance Fund, Goldman Sachs Credit Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund insure such persons and their respective trustees, partners, officers
and employees, subject to the policies coverage limits and exclusions and varying deductibles, against loss resulting from claims by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
