	Autocallable Goldman Sachs Momentum Builder® Focus ER Index-Linked Notes due
OVERVIEW

The notes do not bear interest. Unless your notes are automatically called on any semi-annual call observation date beginning in April 2027, the amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Momentum Builder® Focus ER Index as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date. If the final index level (the closing level of the index on the determination date) is greater than or equal to 102% of the initial index level (set on the trade date and will be an intra-day level or the closing level of the index on the trade date), the return on your notes will be positive and you will receive the maximum settlement amount of $1,927.5 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes. If the final index level is less than 102% of the initial index level, you will receive 100% of the face amount of your notes. Your notes will be called if the closing level of the index on any call observation date is greater than or equal to 102% of the initial index level, resulting in a payment on the corresponding call payment date (the third business day after the call observation date) equal to the face amount of your notes plus the product of $1,000 times the applicable call return.

The index measures the performance of a “base index” and non-interest bearing cash positions subject to certain deductions, as described in further detail below. On each index business day, exposure to the base index will be reduced and exposure to the non-interest bearing cash positions increased if (i) the realized volatility of the base index exceeds a volatility control limit of 5% (we refer to the base index, after applying this volatility control limit, as the “volatility controlled index”) or (ii) the volatility controlled index has exhibited negative price momentum.

The base index is composed of underlying assets, which consist of (i) nine underlying indices, potentially providing exposure to the following asset classes: focused U.S. equities; other developed market equities; developed market fixed income; emerging market equities; and commodities; and (ii) a money market position that accrues interest at a rate equal to the federal funds rate (the “return-based money market position”). The base index rebalances on each index business day based on historical returns of the underlying assets, subject to a limitation on realized volatility (which is separate from the volatility control mechanism described in the paragraph above) and minimum and maximum weights for the underlying assets and asset classes. As a result of the rebalancing, the base index may include as few as 2 underlying assets (including the return-based money market position) and may never include some of the underlying indices or asset classes.

The daily base index return is subject to a deduction equal to the return on the federal funds rate and, in addition, the entire index is subject to a deduction of 0.65% per annum (accruing daily).

The net effect of the deduction for the federal funds rate on the base index and the 0.65% deduction on the full index means that any aggregate exposure to the return-based money market position or the non-interest bearing cash positions will reduce the index performance on a pro rata basis by 0.65%. A very significant portion of the index has been, and may be in the future, allocated to the return-based money market position and the non-interest bearing cash positions.

The description above is only a summary. For a more detailed description of the index, including information about the fees and deductions that are applied to the index, see “Index Summary” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.

If your notes are not called, at maturity, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, you will receive an amount in cash equal to:

•

if the final index level is greater than or equal to 102% of the initial index level, the maximum settlement amount; or

•

if the final index level is less than 102% of the initial index level, $1,000.

Hypothetical Payment on a Call Payment Date
If your notes are automatically called on the first call observation date (i.e., on the first call observation date the closing level of the index is greater than or equal to 102% of the initial index level), the amount in cash that we would deliver for each $1,000 face amount of your notes on the applicable call payment date would be the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of the applicable call return times $1,000. Therefore, if the closing level of the index on the first call observation date were determined to be 120% of the initial index level, your notes would be automatically called and the amount in cash that we would deliver on your notes on the corresponding call payment date would be 113.25% of the face amount of your notes or $1,132.5 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes. Even if the closing level of the index on a call observation date exceeds 102% of the initial index level, causing the notes to be automatically called, the amount in cash payable on the call payment date will be limited due to the applicable call return.
