Buffered Basket-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 an unequally-weighted basket comprised of the common stock, common shares or capital stock (basket stocks) of 45 companies as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date.

The initial basket level is 100 and the final basket level will equal the sum of the products, as calculated for each basket stock, of: (i) its final stock price on the determination date divided by its initial stock price multiplied by (ii) its initial weighted value.

If the final basket level on the determination date is greater than the initial basket level, the return on your notes will be positive and will equal the basket return, subject to the maximum settlement amount (expected to be between $1,177.8 and $1,208.7 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes (set on the trade date)). If the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level, you will not receive more than the maximum settlement amount, regardless of how much the final basket level increases as compared to the initial basket level.

If the final basket level declines by up to 10% from the initial basket level, you will receive the face amount of your notes.

If the final basket level declines by more than 10% from the initial basket level, the return on your notes will be negative and you will lose approximately 1.1111% of the face amount of your notes for every 1% that the final basket level has declined below 90% of the initial basket level. You could lose a significant portion of the face amount of your notes.

You should read the accompanying preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 3, 2022, 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.

ABOUT THE BASKET

The following table lists the basket stocks and related information, including their corresponding Bloomberg tickers, primary listings, initial weights in the basket, initial weighted values and initial stock prices. The initial stock prices will not be determined until the trade date. Each of the basket stock issuers faces its own business risks and other competitive factors. All of those factors may affect the basket return, and, consequently, the amount payable on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date. Our offering of the notes does not constitute our recommendation or the recommendation of our affiliates to invest in the basket, any basket stock or the notes. You should make your own investigation of the basket stocks and the basket stock issuers and whether to obtain exposure to the basket through an investment in the notes.
