These statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the firm’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. Forward-looking statements include statements about potential revenue and growth opportunities. It is possible that the firm’s actual results, including the incremental revenues, if any, from such opportunities, and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and incremental revenues indicated in these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results and financial condition, see “Risk Factors” in Goldman Sachs’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Statements about Goldman Sachs’ revenue and growth opportunities are subject to the risk that the firm’s businesses may be unable to generate additional incremental revenues or take advantage of growth opportunities. Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | Goldman Sachs i Letter from our Chairman and CEO Letter from our Chairman and CEO March 23, 2018 Fellow Shareholders: You are cordially invited to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. We will hold the meeting on Wednesday, May 2, 2018 at 8:30 a.m., local time, at our offices in Jersey City, New Jersey. Enclosed you will find a notice setting forth the items we expect to address during the meeting, a letter from our Lead Director, our proxy statement, a form of proxy and a copy of our 2017 annual report to our shareholders. In our 2017 letter to our shareholders, which is included in the annual report, we describe our focus in achieving sustainable earnings growth and the strategic initiatives that are driving progress in each of our major businesses. We also discuss how the operating environment has shifted and the potential implications for our businesses. We are committed to providing our shareholders with long-term value, and we hope that you will find the letter informative. I would like to personally thank you for your continued investment in Goldman Sachs. We look forward to welcoming many of you to our annual meeting. Your vote is important to us: even if you do not plan to attend the meeting in person, we hope your votes will be represented. Lloyd C. Blankfein Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | Goldman Sachs ii Letter from our Lead Director Letter from our Lead Director March 23, 2018 To my fellow shareholders, As our 2018 Annual Meeting approaches, it is my privilege as your Lead Director to reflect on the past year and share directly with you some highlights of the work of our Board. It will come as no surprise that 2017 was another eventful year for the firm, particularly given the rapidly changing business and regulatory environment across the globe. Over the course of the year we saw the firm’s senior management remain steadfast in its focus on the firm’s operating performance, helping to drive revenue and pre-tax earnings growth across the firm with higher revenues in three of the firm’s four business segments, which helped offset a challenging backdrop for the firm’s market making businesses. Senior management also continued to remain focused on positioning the firm strategically for the future. In my letter to you last year, I wrote about the importance of executive succession planning. Since then we have continued to work closely with our Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein with respect to the firm’s long-term and emergency executive succession plans, meeting regularly with Lloyd and in closed and executive
