NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. Plaintiff Fulton County Employees’ Retirement System (“Fulton County” or “Plaintiff”), a shareholder of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman” or the “Company”), brings this shareholder derivative action on behalf of Goldman against the Company’s current and former officers and directors identified below (collectively, “Defendants”), arising from Defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties and violations of state and federal law from at least January 1, 2012 through the present (the “Relevant Period”).1 In 2012 and 2013, Goldman raised $6.5 billion in three bond offerings for a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund that was nothing more than a fraudulent sham through which Malaysia’s corrupt former prime minister and his associates looted the vast majority of the investment proceeds—a historic scandal that The Wall Street Journal called “one of the largest financial frauds in history.” Goldman arranged these offerings despite myriad prominent red flags that were utterly disregarded by the senior-most officers and directors of the Company. After the scheme was revealed, the fallout was profound: two senior Goldman executives have been indicted or entered guilty pleas to date, and the Company faces numerous international investigations

  • 01 Leading a Business in a Socially Connected World
    01 Leading a business in a socially connected world COPYRIGHT MATERIAL iven this book is aimed at you, the leader, I wanted to start off by Gfocusing directlyNOT FOR on what REPRODUCTION being a leader in a socially connected world means for you. This chapter aims to provide you with insights on where social media for you as a leader fits in, why it matters and the impact that ‘being social’ can have. In fact, before we start, here’s my list of some of the clear benefits. Social media: ●● enables you to tune in and listen in ‘real time’ to your customers, your employees and what’s happening in your sector; ●● enables you to share your viewpoint, in an authentic and conver- sational way; ●● enables you to defend, speak up and mitigate misconceptions; ●● enables you to share your values and your brand’s values. As we go through the book, you’ll hear what other leaders feel are the benefits of being on social media channels – and I’ll endeavour to demonstrate all of the above with real-world examples. My viewpoint and, therefore, the stance in this book, considers that social media, as well as offering you highly practical channels to assist you with driving your business, reaches way beyond the practical application of ‘being social on social networks’ – and rather is enmeshed within the range of technologies that are fast becoming ‘social’ business as usual. M02_CARVILL_K_2558_01_C01.indd 7 1/26/2018 5:18:37 PM 8 Get Social Whilst the focus of this book is to enable you to develop your own social media strategy and tactics, it would be a disservice not to discuss the breadth and depth of social technologies, to equip you with enough compelling context to motivate you to take action and build social media strategies, tactics and activity into your already busy life.

  • How Goldman Sachs Turned the Great Recession Into Competitive Advantage Using Strategic Management
    How Goldman Sachs Turned the Great Recession into Competitive Advantage Using Strategic Management Mine Doyran The City University of New York Abstract What are the strategic questions confronting Goldman Sachs in the wake of the Great Recession? Goldman Sachs has been considered the most prestigious investment banking firm on Wall Street. Since September 2008, Goldman operates as a bank holding company and financial holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve. It gives advice on how to achieve long-term financial goals in times of both prosperity and crisis. This case reveals how Goldman Sachs became the quintessential global firm for the current period, which combines both growth and weaknesses. It further argues that Goldman Sachs has adopted innovative strategies one step ahead of its competitors, thus surviving the worst of times and redefining the traditional investment banking field. Background Founded in 1869, Goldman Sachs has been considered the most prestigious investment banking firm on Wall Street. Its clients include both public and private institutions seeking funding for expansion to meet the needs of their clients and advice on how to achieve long-term financial goals in times of both prosperity and crisis. Indeed, Goldman would be the quintessential firm for the current period, which combines both growth and weakness. Currently, Goldman Sachs operates as bank holding company and a financial holding company. It is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. It has an American depository institution subsidiary, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which is a “New York State-chartered bank.”1 The business of investment firm includes help in planning corporate mergers, Rutgers Business Review Vol.

  • Letter to Mr. Lloyd Blankfein, the Goldman Sachs Group
    December 19, 2017 Mr. Lloyd Blankfein Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. 200 West Street New York, New York 10282 Dear Mr. Blankfein: On July 1, 2017, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (together, the Agencies) received the annual resolution plan submission (2017 Plan) of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) required by section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), 12 U.S.C. § 5365(d), and the jointly issued implementing regulation, 12 CFR Part 243 and 12 CFR Part 381 (the Resolution Plan Rule). The Agencies have reviewed the 2017 Plan taking into consideration section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Resolution Plan Rule, the letter that the Agencies provided to GS on April 12, 2016 (the 2016 Letter) regarding GS’s 2015 resolution plan submission (2015 Plan), the joint “Guidance for 2017 Resolution Plan Submissions By Domestic Covered Companies that Submitted Resolution Plans in July 2015” (the 2017 Plan Guidance), other guidance provided by the Agencies and supervisory information available to the Agencies. 1 In reviewing the 2017 Plan, the Agencies noted meaningful improvements over prior resolution plan submissions of GS. Among other things, the Agencies reviewed the 2017 Plan with respect to the shortcomings in GS’s 2015 Plan. Based upon their review of the 2017 Plan, the Agencies have jointly decided that the 2017 Plan satisfactorily addressed these shortcomings, as discussed in section I, below. Nonetheless, the Agencies have identified one shortcoming in the 2017 Plan, as discussed in section II, below.
