    About Your Notes

    GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. have filed a registration statement (including a prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, WFS product supplement no. 6 and preliminary pricing supplement listed below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus, prospectus supplement, WFS product supplement no. 6 and preliminary pricing supplement, and any other documents relating to this offering that GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. have filed with the SEC for more complete information about us and this offering. You may get these documents without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at sec.gov. Alternatively, we will arrange to send you the prospectus, prospectus supplement, WFS product supplement no. 6 and preliminary pricing supplement if you so request by calling (212) 357-4612.

    Risk Factors

    An investment in the notes is subject to risks. Many of the risks are described in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, accompanying WFS product supplement no. 6, accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Below we have provided a list of risk factors discussed in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement (but not those discussed in the accompanying WFS product supplement no. 6, accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus). In addition to the below, you should read in full “Selected Risk Considerations” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, “Risk Factors” in the accompanying WFS product supplement no. 6, as well as the risks and considerations described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus.

    The following risk factors are discussed in greater detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement:

     

    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 Pricing Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Offering Price Of Your Notes
    ▪
    The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor
    ▪
    You May Receive Only the Face Amount of Your Notes at Maturity
    ▪
    You May Not Receive a Contingent Coupon on Any Contingent Coupon Payment Date
    ▪
    Because the Notes Are Linked to the Performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock, You Have a Greater Risk of Receiving No Contingent Coupons Than If the Notes Were Linked to Just One Underlying Stock
    ▪
    A Higher Contingent Coupon and/or a Lower Coupon Threshold Price May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underlying Stocks, and Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates An Increased Risk of Declines in the Prices of the Underlying Stocks
    ▪
    Your Notes Are Subject to Automatic Redemption
    ▪
    The Contingent Coupon Does Not Reflect the Actual Performance of the Underlying Stocks from the Pricing

     

    Date to Any Calculation Day or from Calculation Day to Calculation Day

    ▪
    The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced By Many Unpredictable Factors
    ▪
    We Will Not Hold Shares of the Underlying Stock for Your Benefit
    ▪
    You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlying Stock

    Risks Related to Tax

    ▪
    Certain Considerations for Insurance Companies and Employee Benefit Plans
    ▪
    The Tax Treatment of Your Notes is Uncertain. However, It Would be Reasonable To Treat Your Notes as Variable Rate Debt Instruments for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes
    ▪
    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
