Buffered Digital Equity-Linked Notes due |
OVERVIEW |
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 common stock of NVIDIA Corporation as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date.
If the final index stock price on the determination date is greater than or equal to 75% of the initial index stock price, you will receive the maximum settlement amount. If the final index stock price is greater than the initial index stock price, you will not receive more than the maximum settlement amount, regardless of how much the final index stock price increases as compared to the initial index stock price.
If the final index stock price declines by more than 25% from the initial index stock price, the return on your notes will be negative and you will lose approximately 1.3333% of the face amount of your notes for every 1% that the final index stock price has declined below 75% of the initial index stock price. You could lose your entire investment in the notes.
You should read the accompanying preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 24, 2024, which we refer to herein as the accompanying preliminary prospectus 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.
