SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust-Linked Notes due |
The notes do not bear interest. The amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust as measured from the trade date to the final underlier level on the determination date.
The return on your notes is linked to the performance of the underlier, and not to that of the S&P 500® Index on which the underlier is based.
If the underlier return is positive or zero, the return on your notes will be positive or zero and will equal the underlier return. If the underlier return is negative and the final underlier level is equal to or greater than 79.85% of the initial underlier level, the return on your notes will be equal to the absolute value of the underlier return (e.g., if the underlier return is -10%, your return will be +10%).
If the underlier return is negative and the final underlier level is less than 79.85% of the initial underlier level, the return on your notes will be negative and will equal the underlier return. You could lose your entire investment in the notes.
For example, if the underlier return is -20.15%, you will receive a positive return of 20.15% on your notes; however, if the underlier return is -21.15%, you will lose 21.15% of the value of your notes (a very significant negative change in the return on your notes based on a small negative change in the underlier return). You could receive significantly less than the face amount of your notes at maturity.
You should read the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement dated May 3, 2024, which we refer to herein as the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, to better understand the terms and risks of your investment, including the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
