Full information on the Issuer, The Goldman Sachs Group. Inc. (the “Guarantor”), and the terms and conditions of the Secured Notes, is only available on the basis of the combination of this Pricing Supplement and the Base Listing Particulars as so supplemented. The Base Listing Particulars have been published at www.ise.ie and are available for viewing during normal business hours at the registered office of the Issuer, and copies may be obtained from the specified office of the listing agent in Ireland. The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Pricing Supplement. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Issuer and the Guarantor the information contained in the Base Listing Particulars, as completed by this Pricing Supplement in relation to the Series of Secured Notes referred to above, is true and accurate in all material respects and, in the context of the issue of this Series, there are no other material facts the omission of which would make any statement in such information misleading. LIB02/1085993/9986455.3 Hogan Lovells - 2 - Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Secured Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Secured Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Secured Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Secured Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Secured Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer’s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. The Secured Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Secured Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Secured Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. THIS SECURED NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. NEITHER THIS SECURED NOTE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT. THIS SECURED NOTE AND ANY RELATED DOCUMENTATION MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME TO MODIFY THE RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES AND OTHER TRANSFERS OF THIS SECURED NOTE TO REFLECT ANY CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION (OR THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF) OR IN PRACTICES RELATING TO THE RESALE OR TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED SECURITIES GENERALLY. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURED NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SECURED NOTE TO HAVE AGREED TO ANY SUCH AMENDMENT OR SUPPLEMENT. THIS LEGEND CAN ONLY BE REMOVED AT THE OPTION OF THE ISSUER.

The Issuer and the Beneficial Owners (acting unanimously) may agree to modify certain other provision of these Final Terms, provided that details of any such modification is included in the Modification Notice delivered to the Trustee and Principal Paying Agent pursuant to the Maturity Date provision above, which modification shall be effective from the relevant LIB02/1085993/9986455.3 Hogan Lovells - 4 - Maturity Date or other scheduled maturity date (as applicable).

Interest Amount Payable Interest due on any Interest Payment Date will be an amount equal to the product of (a) the principal amount of the Secured Notes outstanding on the first day of the related Interest Period, (b) the Day Count Fraction, and (c) the Interest Rate.
