Autocallable Contingent Coupon Equity-Linked Notes due

 

OVERVIEW

If the closing price of the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. on any observation date is less than 60% of the initial index stock price, you will not receive a coupon on the applicable payment date. The amount that you will be paid on your notes is based on the performance of the index stock. The notes will mature on the stated maturity date, unless automatically called on any observation date commencing in May 2025 to and including August 2026. Your notes will be automatically called if the closing price of the index stock on any such observation date is greater than or equal to the initial index stock price. If your notes are automatically called, you will receive a payment on the next payment date equal to the face amount of your notes plus a coupon (as described below).

Observation dates are expected to be each date specified as such in the table below, commencing in February 2025 and ending in November 2026. If on any observation date the closing price of the index stock is greater than or equal to 60% of the initial index stock price, you will receive on the applicable payment date a coupon for each $1,000 face amount of your notes equal to (i) the product of $30.625 (3.0625% quarterly, or up to 12.25% per annum) times the number of observation dates that have occurred up to and including the relevant observation date minus (ii) the sum of all coupons previously paid, if any.

The amount that you will be paid on your notes at maturity, if they have not been automatically called, in addition to the final coupon, if any, is based on the index stock return. The index stock return is the percentage increase or decrease in the closing price of the index stock on the determination date from the initial index stock price.

You should read the accompanying preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 20, 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.

HYPOTHETICAL COUPON PAYMENTS

The examples below show the hypothetical performance of the index stock as well as the hypothetical coupons, if any, that we would pay on each coupon payment date with respect to each $1,000 face amount of the notes if the hypothetical closing price of the index stock on the applicable coupon observation date was the percentage of the initial index stock price shown.

Scenario 1

 

Hypothetical Coupon Observation Date

Hypothetical Closing Price of the Index Stock (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)

Total Hypothetical Coupons

$122.5

In Scenario 1, the hypothetical closing price of the index stock increases and decreases by varying amounts on each hypothetical coupon observation date. Because the hypothetical closing price of the index stock on the second and fourth hypothetical coupon observation dates is greater than or equal to the coupon trigger price, the total of the hypothetical coupons in Scenario 1 is $122.5. Because the hypothetical closing price of the index stock on all other hypothetical coupon observation dates is less than the coupon trigger price, no further coupons will be paid, including at maturity.

Scenario 2

Hypothetical Coupon Observation Date

Total Hypothetical Coupons

$0

In Scenario 2, the hypothetical closing price of the index stock increases and decreases by varying amounts on each hypothetical coupon observation date. Because in each case the hypothetical closing price of the index stock on the related coupon observation date is less than the coupon trigger price, you will not receive a coupon payment on the applicable hypothetical coupon payment date. Since this occurs on every hypothetical coupon observation date, the overall return you earn on your notes will be less than zero. Therefore, the total of the hypothetical coupons in Scenario 2 is $0.

Scenario 3

Hypothetical Coupon Observation Date

Hypothetical Closing Price of the Index Stock (as Percentage of Initial Index Stock Price)

Hypothetical Coupon

First

45%

$0

Second

120%

$61.25

 

Total Hypothetical Coupons

$61.25

In Scenario 3, the hypothetical closing price of the index stock is less than the initial index stock price on the first hypothetical coupon observation date, but increases to a price that is greater than the initial index stock price on the second hypothetical coupon observation date. Because the hypothetical closing price of the index stock is greater than or equal to the initial index stock price on the second hypothetical coupon observation date (which is also the first hypothetical call observation date), your notes will be automatically called. Therefore, on the corresponding hypothetical call payment date, in addition to the hypothetical coupon of $61.25, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes.
