SPECIFIC TERMS OF THE NOTES

Each series of notes will be a series of senior debt securities issued under our senior debt indenture dated as of July 16, 2008, as amended by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated December 31, 2016, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. This prospectus supplement summarizes specific financial and other terms that will apply to each series of notes; terms that apply generally to all of our debt securities are described in “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer” in the accompanying prospectus dated February 13, 2023. The terms described here supplement those described in the accompanying prospectus and, if the terms described here are inconsistent with those described there, the terms described here are controlling.

where for purposes of applying the above formula to the terms of the notes:

“d0”, for any observation period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant observation period;

We will give the notice of redemption in the manner described under “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Notices” in the accompanying prospectus.

S-7

Determination of Interest Rate During the Floating Rate Period

Your notes will bear interest for each interest period in the 2030 Notes Floating Rate Period and the 2035 Notes Floating Rate Period at a per annum rate equal to Compounded SOFR plus the applicable spread, subject to the terms described above in “Specific Terms of the Notes — Terms of the Notes”. Compounded SOFR will be determined by the calculation agent using the formula described above in “Specific Terms of the Notes — Terms of the Notes.” SOFR will be determined by the calculation agent in the following manner:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the calculation agent determines that a benchmark transition event and its related benchmark replacement date have occurred prior to the interest determination date in respect of any interest payment date, the benchmark replacement will replace the then-current benchmark for all purposes relating to the notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates, as further described in the section entitled “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities — Floating Rate Debt Securities — SOFR” in the accompanying prospectus.

In connection with the implementation of a benchmark replacement, the calculation agent will have the right to make benchmark replacement conforming changes from time to time, as described in the section entitled “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities — Floating Rate Debt Securities — SOFR” in the accompanying prospectus.

S-8

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the calculation agent pursuant to the provisions described in this “— Determination of Interest Rate During the Floating Rate Period”, including any determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the calculation agent’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the notes, shall become effective without consent from any other party.

The calculation agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any observation period or interest period in the 2030 Notes Floating Rate Period and the 2035 Notes Floating Rate Period will be on file at our principal offices and will be made available to any noteholder upon request.

Additional Considerations Relating to SOFR

Please refer to the discussion under “Considerations Relating to Floating Rate Securities — Certain Risks Related to SOFR” in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the considerations relating to SOFR.

Additional Information About the Notes

Make-Whole Redemption

For purposes of the “make-whole” redemption provision described under “Make-Whole Redemption” above, the “treasury rate” will be:

We will initially appoint Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its successor to act as our quotation agent. However, if Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City, we will appoint another primary U.S. government securities dealer as our quotation agent.

S-9

The “comparable treasury issue,” with respect to any redemption date, means the United States Treasury security selected by the quotation agent as being the most recently issued United States Treasury note or bond as displayed by Bloomberg L.P. (or any successor service) on screens PX1 through PX8 (or any other screens as may replace such screens on such service) that has a remaining term comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed, assuming for this purpose that the 2030 notes would mature on October 23, 2029 (rather than the stated maturity date) and the 2035 notes would mature on October 23, 2034 (rather than the stated maturity date).

The “comparable treasury price”, with respect to any redemption date, will be (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer quotations (as described below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such reference treasury dealer quotations, or (2) if the quotation agent obtains fewer than five such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.

The “reference treasury dealer quotations” means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer (as described below) and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the quotation agent, of the bid and ask prices for the comparable treasury issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the quotation agent by such reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

The “reference treasury dealer” will be (1) the quotation agent or (2) any other primary U.S. government securities dealer selected by the quotation agent after consultation with us.

The trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the redemption price of the notes.

Day Count Convention

As further described under “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities — Interest Rates and Interest” in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period for each series of notes the amount of accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period for such note. The accrued interest factor will be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the specified day count convention.

The day count convention during the 2030 Notes Fixed Rate Period and the 2035 Notes Fixed Rate Period is 30/360 (ISDA), and the factor is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows, as described in Section 4.16(f) of the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, without regard to any subsequent amendments or supplements:

Day Count Fraction = [360 × (Y2 –Y1)] + [30 × (M2 –M1)] + (D2 –D1)

360

where:

“Y1” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;

“Y2” is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest period falls;

“M1” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;

S-10

“M2” is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest period falls;

“D1” is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and

“D2” is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest period, unless such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30.

The day count convention during the 2030 Notes Floating Rate Period and the 2035 Notes Floating Rate Period is Actual/360 (ISDA), and the factor is the actual number of days in the interest period divided by 360, as described in Section 4.16(e) of the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, without regard to any subsequent amendments or supplements.

The Calculation Agent Will Have the Authority to Make Determinations That Could Affect the Market Value of Your Notes

We have appointed Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as the calculation agent for the notes. As calculation agent for your notes, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will make determinations with respect to the notes as specified in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus dated February 13, 2023 and may have discretion in calculating the amounts payable in respect of the notes. If Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC determines that a benchmark replacement date has occurred, it will determine, among other things, the benchmark replacement, the benchmark replacement adjustment, and the benchmark replacement conforming changes, and such determinations will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The exercise of this discretion by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC could adversely affect the value of your notes and may present Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC with a conflict of interest. We may change the calculation agent at any time without notice, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC may resign as calculation agent at any time upon 60 days’ written notice to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Book-Entry System

We will issue the notes as global notes registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the limited situations described in the accompanying prospectus under “Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance — What Is a Global Security? — Holder’s Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated”.

Investors may hold interests in a global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system. See “Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance” in the accompanying prospectus for additional information about indirect ownership of interests in the notes.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The notes will be treated as variable rate debt securities for United States federal income tax purposes as described under “United States Taxation — Taxation of Debt Securities — United States Holders — Variable Rate Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. In addition, we have determined that the notes should not be treated as issued with original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes.

Please refer to the discussion under “United States Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the material United States federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the notes.

S-11

EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT

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) (each, 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 to be “plan assets” under ERISA or assets of certain investment vehicles in which the Plan invests. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates may each 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 or held 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 any regulations thereunder (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.

S-12

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

The validity of the notes will be passed upon for the underwriters by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, New York, New York. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP has in the past represented and continues to represent The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. on a regular basis and in a variety of matters, including offerings of our common stock, preferred stock and debt securities. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP also performed services for The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. in connection with the offering of the notes described in this prospectus supplement.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

With respect to the unaudited financial information of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for (i) the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and (ii) the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate reports dated (i) May 2, 2024 and (ii) August 1, 2024, incorporated by reference herein state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited financial information because those reports are not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

S-14

UNDERWRITING

We and the underwriters named below have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the notes. Subject to certain conditions, each underwriter named below has severally agreed to purchase the principal amount of the notes indicated in the following table:

S-15

The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the notes being offered, if any are taken.

The following table shows the per note and total underwriting discounts and commissions of each series of notes to be paid to the underwriters by us.

The notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial price to public set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial price to public of up to 0.210% of the principal amount of the 2030 notes and up to 0.270% of the principal amount of the 2035 notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial price to public of up to 0.100% of the principal amount of the 2030 notes and up to 0.150% of the principal amount of the 2035 notes. If all the notes are not sold at the initial price to public, the underwriters may change the initial price to public and the other selling terms. The offering of each series of notes by the underwriters is subject to their receipt and acceptance of the notes and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part.

The underwriters intend to offer the notes for sale in the United States either directly or through affiliates or other dealers acting as selling agents. The underwriters may also offer the notes for sale outside the United States either directly or through affiliates or other dealers acting as selling agents. This prospectus supplement may be used by the underwriters and other dealers in connection with offers and sales of notes made in the United States, including offers and sales in the United States of notes initially sold outside the United States. The notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of offers or sales outside the United States.

Each series of notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have been advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs International that they intend to make a market in the notes. Other affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. may also do so. Neither Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or Goldman Sachs International nor any other affiliate, however, is obligated to do so and any of them may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or the trading market for the notes.

Please note that the information about the original issue date, original price to public and net proceeds to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. on the front cover page relates only to the initial sale of the notes. If you have purchased a note in a market-making transaction after the initial sale, information about the price and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.

The offering of each series of notes will settle on the fifth scheduled business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (“T+5”) (see page 141 of the accompanying prospectus). Under Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under 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 the business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it will not offer or sell the notes in the United States or to United States persons except if such offers or sales are made by or through Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) member broker-dealers, as permitted by FINRA regulations.

S-16

The notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For the purposes of this provision:

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

The notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this provision:

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:
