GS-N Goldman Sachs Group Inc

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NOTES

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).

PS-11

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

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes — Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market” on page S-7 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 8,999.

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

Although the return on the notes will be based on the performance of each underlier, 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 Lose Your Entire Investment in the Notes

You can lose your entire investment in the notes. Assuming your notes are not automatically called, the cash settlement amount on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the lesser performing of the underliers as measured from their initial underlier levels set on the trade date to their closing levels on the determination date. If the final underlier level of any underlier is less than its trigger buffer level, you will have a loss for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes equal to the product of the lesser performing underlier return times $1,000. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.

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

The Amount You Will Receive on the Call Payment Date Will Be Capped

Regardless of the closing levels of the underliers on the call observation date, the amount in cash that you may receive on the call payment date is capped. Even if the closing level of each underlier on the call observation date exceeds its initial underlier level, causing the notes to be automatically called on such day, the amount in cash payable on the call payment date will be capped, and you will not benefit from the increases in the closing levels of the underliers above their initial underlier levels on the call observation date. If your notes are automatically called on the call observation date, the maximum payment you will receive for each $1,000 face amount of your notes will be $1,210.

The Return on Your Notes May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Level of the Lesser Performing Underlier

If your notes are not automatically called and the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier is less than its trigger buffer level, you will receive less than the face amount of your notes and you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the notes. This means that while a decrease in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier to its trigger buffer level will not result in a loss of principal on the notes, a decrease in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier to less than its trigger buffer level will result in a loss of a significant portion of the face amount of the notes despite only a small change in the level of the lesser performing underlier.

Your Notes Are Subject to Automatic Redemption

We will automatically call and redeem all, but not part, of your notes on the call payment date if, as measured on the call observation date, the closing level of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier level. Therefore, the term for your notes may be reduced. You may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the notes are automatically called prior to maturity. For the avoidance of doubt, if your notes are automatically called, no discounts, commissions or fees described herein will be rebated or reduced.

PS-12

The Amount In Cash That You Will Receive on the Call Payment Date or on the Stated Maturity Date is Not Linked to the Closing Levels of the Underliers at Any Time Other Than on the Call Observation Date or on the Determination Date, as the Case May Be

The amount in cash that you will receive on the call payment date, if any, will be paid only if the closing level of each underlier on the call observation date is equal to or greater than its initial underlier level.  Therefore, the closing levels of the underliers on dates other than the call observation date will have no effect on any amount paid in respect of your notes on the call payment date.  In addition, the cash settlement amount you will receive on the stated maturity date, if any, will be based on the closing levels of the underliers on the determination date (which is subject to postponement in case of market disruption events or non-trading days), and therefore not the simple performance of the underliers over the life of your notes.  Therefore, if the closing level of an underlier dropped precipitously on the determination date, the cash settlement amount for your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had the cash settlement amount been linked to the closing levels of the underliers prior to such drop.

The Cash Settlement Amount Will Be Based Solely on the Lesser Performing Underlier

If the notes are not automatically called, the cash settlement amount will be based on the lesser performing underlier without regard to the performance of the other underliers. As a result, you could lose all or some of your initial investment if the lesser performing underlier return is negative, even if there is an increase in the level of the other underliers. This could be the case even if the other underliers increased by an amount greater than the decrease in the lesser performing underlier.

Your Notes Do Not Bear Interest

You will not receive any interest payments on your notes. As a result, even if the amount payable for your notes on a call payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable, exceeds the face amount of your notes, the overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a non-indexed debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing market rate.

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 may influence the market value of your notes if you sell your notes before maturity, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. If you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes. You cannot predict the future performance of the underliers based on their historical performance.

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 in cash that you will be paid for your notes on the stated maturity date, if any, or the amount you will be paid on the call payment date will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for the notes. If you purchase

PS-13

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 call payment date or the stated maturity date 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 call payment date or the stated maturity date, 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.

The Return on Your Notes Will Not Reflect Any Dividends Paid on the Underliers or the Underlier Stocks

The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the underliers and received the distributions paid on the shares of such underliers. You will not receive any dividends that may be paid on any of the underlier stocks by the underlier stock issuers or the shares of the underliers. See “— You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Underliers or Any Underlier Stock” below for additional information.

You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Underliers or Any Underlier Stock

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

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 pricing 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 pricing supplement.

Additional Risks Related to the Underliers

The Policies of the Investment Advisor For Any Underlier and of the Underlying Index Sponsor of the Underlying Index Tracked By Any Underlier Could Affect the Amount Payable on Your Notes and Their Market Value

The investment advisor of any underlier may from time to time be called upon to make certain policy decisions or judgments with respect to such underlier, including those concerning the calculation of the net asset value of such underlier, additions, deletions or substitutions of securities held by such underlier and the manner in which changes affecting the underlying index for such underlier are reflected in such underlier that could affect the market price of the shares of the underlier, and therefore, the amount payable on your notes on the stated maturity date. The amount payable on your notes and their market value could also be affected if the investment advisor changes its policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates the net asset value of such underlier, or if the investment advisor discontinues or suspends calculation or publication of the net asset value of such underlier, in which case it may become difficult or inappropriate to determine the market value of your notes. The underlier investment advisor of the SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust is State Street Global Advisors Trust Company, the underlier investment advisor of the iShares^® Russell 2000 ETF is BlackRock Fund Advisors and the underlier investment advisor of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is SSGA Funds Management, Inc.

If events such as these occur, the calculation agent — which initially will be GS & Co., our affiliate — may determine the closing level of the underliers on any such date — and thus the amount payable if the notes are called on the call observation date or the cash settlement amount on the stated maturity date, if any — in a manner it considers appropriate, in its sole discretion. We describe the discretion that the calculation agent will have in determining the closing level of the underliers on any trading day, the call observation date or the determination date and the amount payable on your notes more fully under “Terms and Conditions — Discontinuance or modification of an underlier” on page PS-6 of this pricing supplement.

In addition, the underlying index sponsor of the underlying index of any underlier owns that underlying index and is responsible for the design and maintenance of that underlying index. The policies of an underlying index sponsor concerning the calculation of a particular underlying index, including decisions regarding the addition, deletion or substitution of the equity securities included in that underlying index, could affect the level of that underlying index and, consequently, could affect the market prices of shares of the related underlier and, therefore, the amount payable on your notes and their market value. The underlying index sponsor for the underlying index of the SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust and the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is S&P and the underlying index sponsor of the underlying index of the iShares^® Russell 2000 ETF is FTSE Russell.

PS-14

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

Although the shares of the underliers are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) and a number of similar products have been traded on the NYSE Arca or other securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of any underlier or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

In addition, each underlier is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the underlier investment advisor’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. For example, the underlier investment advisor for the iShares^® Russell 2000 ETF may select up to 20% of its underlier’s assets and the underlier investment advisor for the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund may select up to 5% of its underlier’s assets, in each case, to be invested in shares of equity securities that are not included in its underlying index. No underlier is actively managed and each underlier may be affected by a general decline in market segments relating to its underlying index.  Each underlier investment advisor invests in securities included in, or representative of, its underlying index regardless of their investment merits.  The underlier investment advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. In addition, each underlier investment advisor may be permitted to engage in securities lending with respect to a portion of an underlier’s total assets, which could subject the underlier to the risk that the borrower of such loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all.

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

Further, the underliers are subject to listing standards adopted by NYSE Arca. There can be no assurance that the underliers will continue to meet the applicable listing requirements, or that the underliers will not be delisted.

Each Underlier and Its Underlying Index are Different and the Performance of Each Underlier May Not Correlate With the Performance of its Underlying Index

Each underlier may not hold all or substantially all of the equity securities included in its underlying index and may hold securities or assets not included in its underlying index. For example, the iShares^® Russell 2000 ETF uses a representative sampling strategy to attempt to track the performance of its underlying index. Therefore, while the performance of each underlier is generally linked to the performance of its underlying index, the performance of each underlier is also linked in part to shares of equity securities not included in its underlying index and to the performance of other assets, such as futures contracts, options and swaps, as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds affiliated with its underlier investment advisor.

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

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

For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of any underlier may not correlate with the performance of its underlying index. Consequently, the cash settlement amount payable on your notes will not be the same as investing directly in each underlier or in each underlying index or in any of the respective underlier stocks or in any of the respective stocks comprising such underlying index, and will not be the same as investing in a debt security with payments linked to the performance of each underlying index.

Additional Risks Related to the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund

The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is Concentrated in the Information Technology Sector and Does Not Provide Diversified Exposure

The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is not diversified. The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s assets are concentrated in the Information Technology sector, which means the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is

PS-15

more likely to be more adversely affected by any negative performance of the Information Technology sector than an underlier that has more diversified holdings across a number of sectors. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a major effect on the value of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology are particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the Information Technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.

In addition, the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and its underlying index were reconstituted in September 2018 to reflect updates to the GICS structure, which reduced diversification of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s assets. As a result of the GICS changes, certain companies from the Information Technology sector or the former Telecommunication Services sector were reclassified under the new Communication Services sector or the Consumer Discretionary sector. For example, due to the reclassification, several large companies generally recognized as technology companies, such as Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.) and Alphabet Inc., were moved out of the Information Technology sector into the new Communication Services sector. The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund now tracks the performance of only those technology companies that remain in its underlying index following its reconstitution, which excludes companies that have been reclassified under the Communication Services sector or the Consumer Discretionary sector. Consequently, the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is less diversified than it was before this change to its portfolio. For more information, please see “The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund Was Reconstituted in September 2018 Based on Changes to the Technology Select Sector Index and No Longer Provides Exposure to Certain Companies that Were Previously Included in the Technology Select Sector Index and Heavily Weighted in the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund” below.

The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund May Be Disproportionately Affected By the Performance of a Small Number of Stocks

Although the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund held 76 stocks as of March 14, 2023, approximately 44.34% of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund was invested in just two stocks – Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corporation — and approximately 68.64% of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund was invested in just ten stocks. As a result, a decline in the prices of one or more of these stocks, including as a result of events negatively affecting one or more of these companies, may have the effect of significantly lowering the price of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund even if none of the other stocks held by the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund are affected by such events. Because of the weighting of the holdings of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund, the amount you receive at maturity could be less than the payment at maturity you would have received if you had invested in a product linked to an exchange-traded fund that capped the maximum weight of any one stock to a low amount or that equally weighted all stocks held by such fund.

The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund Was Reconstituted in September 2018 Based on Changes to the Technology Select Sector Index and No Longer Provides Exposure to Certain Companies that Were Previously Included in the Technology Select Sector Index and Heavily Weighted in the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund

Before the recent changes to the GICS^® were implemented, the Technology Select Sector Index was designed to measure the performance of the companies assigned to the GICS^® Information Technology sector and Telecommunication Services sector. As of the close of business on September 21, 2018, S&P and MSCI, Inc. updated the GICS^® structure, which changes were effective for the Technology Select Sector Index as of the open of business on September 24, 2018. Among other things, the update broadened the Telecommunications Services sector and renamed it the Communication Services sector. The renamed sector includes the previously existing Telecommunication Services Industry group, as well as the Media Industry group, which was moved from the Consumer Discretionary sector and renamed the Media & Entertainment Industry group. The Media & Entertainment Industry group contains three industries: Media, Entertainment and Interactive Media & Services. The Entertainment industry contains the Movies & Entertainment sub-industry (which includes online entertainment streaming companies in addition to companies previously classified in such industry prior to September 21, 2018) and the Interactive Home Entertainment sub-industry (which includes companies previously classified in the Home Entertainment Software sub-industry prior to September 21, 2018 (when the Home Entertainment Software sub-

PS-16

industry was a sub-industry in the Information Technology sector)), as well as producers of interactive gaming products, including mobile gaming applications).

As a result of the above changes, certain companies from the Information Technology sector or the former Telecommunication Services sector were reclassified under the new Communication Services sector or the Consumer Discretionary sector. For example, due to the reclassification, Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.), Alphabet Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T Inc., Activision Blizzard Inc., Electronic Arts Inc., Twitter Inc., Centurylink Inc. and Take-Two Interactive Software were moved from the Technology Select Sector Index to the Communication Services Select Sector Index, and eBay Inc. was moved from the Technology Select Sector Index to the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Index. After the changes to GICS^® were implemented, the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund liquidated a number of its holdings to reflect the above sector reclassifications. Prior to the removal of these companies during the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s rebalancing in September 2018, such companies represented a significant percentage (more than 25%) of the net asset value of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund. In particular, over 17% of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund was invested in just three of the above stocks prior to their removal— Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.), Alphabet Inc. Class C and Alphabet Inc. Class A.

The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund now tracks the performance of only those companies that remain in the Technology Select Sector Index following its reconstitution, which excludes those companies that have been reclassified under the new Communication Services sector or the Consumer Discretionary sector. It is possible that the stocks removed from the Technology Select Sector Index will perform better than the reconstituted Technology Select Sector Index, in which case the performance of your notes will be less than if the Technology Select Sector Index (and the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund) had not been affected by the GICS updates. Consequently, this change could adversely affect the performance of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund over the term of the notes and, in turn, the return of the notes.

Limited Historical Information is Available Regarding the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s Performance Subsequent to the Recent Changes to its Holdings

The Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund tracks the performance of the Technology Select Sector Index, which was reconstituted on September 24, 2018. Prior to the reconstitution of the underlying index, the Technology Select Sector Index was designed to measure the performance of companies assigned to the Information Technology sector and the former Telecommunication Services sector. The reconstituted Technology Select Sector Index now measures the performance of the companies assigned to the Information Technology sector. Moreover, a number of companies from the Information Technology sector were reclassified under the new Communication Services sector or the Consumer Discretionary sector and consequently removed from the Technology Select Sector Index and the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund. As a result, the performance of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund prior to its reconstitution in September 2018 might have been meaningfully different had it tracked the reconstituted Technology Select Sector Index at that time. As a result, limited historical underlier performance information will be available for you to consider in making an independent investigation of the Technology Select Sector SPDR^® Fund performance, which may make it difficult for you to make an informed decision with respect to the notes.

Risks Related to Tax

The Tax Consequences of an Investment in Your Notes Are Uncertain

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

The Internal Revenue Service announced on December 7, 2007 that it is considering issuing guidance regarding the tax treatment of an instrument such as your notes, and any such guidance could adversely affect the value and the tax treatment of your notes. Among other things, the Internal Revenue Service may decide to require the holders to accrue ordinary income on a current basis and recognize ordinary income on payment at maturity, and could subject non-U.S. investors to withholding tax. Furthermore, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders that acquired instruments such as your notes after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such instruments even though there will be no interest payments over the term of such instruments. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your notes. We describe these developments in more detail under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – United States Holders – Possible Change in Law” below. You should consult your tax advisor about this matter. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, GS Finance Corp. intends to continue treating the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax

PS-17

Consequences” below unless and until such time as Congress, the Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service determine that some other treatment is more appropriate. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your notes in your particular circumstances.

Your Notes May Be Subject to the Constructive Ownership Rules

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

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.

THE UNDERLIERS

SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust

The SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust seeks investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500^® Index. The SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust strives to achieve its investment objective by holding a portfolio of the common stocks that are included in the S&P 500^® Index, with the weight of each stock in the SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust’s portfolio substantially corresponding to the weight of such stock in the S&P 500^® Index.

The S&P 500^® Index includes a representative sample of 500 companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. 

For more details about the SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust, the investment advisor and the underlying index, see “The Underliers — SPDR^® S&P 500^® ETF Trust” on page S-159 of the accompanying underlier supplement no. 33. 

iShares^® Russell 2000 ETF
