GS Finance Corp.

$40,469,870 Trigger Callable Contingent Yield Notes with Daily Coupon Observation due 2030

guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Linked to the least performing of the S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the Nasdaq-100 Index®

Investment Description

The amount you will be paid on your notes is based on the performance of the least performing of the S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the Nasdaq-100 Index®. The notes are unsecured notes issued by GS Finance Corp. and guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Commencing in January 2027 and ending in October 2029, we may redeem your notes on any coupon payment date, regardless of the performance of the indices, at a price equal to the face amount of your notes plus any contingent coupon then due. Unless previously redeemed, your notes will pay a contingent coupon on a coupon payment date only if the closing level of each index is equal to or greater than its coupon barrier on every trading day during the preceding observation period. Otherwise, if the closing level of any index on any trading day during the preceding observation period is less than its coupon barrier, no contingent coupon will be paid for the relevant coupon payment date. An observation period is the period from but excluding an observation end date (or the trade date, in the case of the first period) to and including the next succeeding observation end date. If we do not redeem your notes early and the closing level of each index on the determination date (the final index level) is equal to or greater than its downside threshold, you will receive the face amount of your notes plus any final contingent coupon otherwise due. You will only receive a contingent coupon if the conditions for receiving such payment described above are met. If, however, we do not redeem your notes early and the final index level of any index is less than its downside threshold, you will receive less than the face amount of your notes and you will not receive a final contingent coupon, resulting in a percentage loss on your investment equal to the percentage change in the lesser performing index from the trade date to the determination date (the index return) and you could lose all of your investment. The lesser performing index is the index with the lowest index return.

Investing in the notes involves significant risks. You may lose a significant portion or all of your investment and may not receive any contingent coupon during the term of the notes. You will be exposed to the market risk of each index on each trading day of each observation period, including the determination date, and any decline in the level of one index may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the level of any other index. We may redeem your notes at our discretion regardless of the performance of the indices. Generally, a higher contingent coupon on a note is associated with a greater risk of loss and a greater risk that you will not receive contingent coupons over the term of the notes. The contingent repayment of principal applies only at maturity. Any payment on the notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Features

Key Dates

O Potential for Periodic Contingent Coupons – Your notes will pay a contingent coupon on a coupon payment date only if the closing level of each index is equal to or greater than its coupon barrier on every trading day during the preceding observation period. If, however, the closing level of any index is less than its coupon barrier on any trading day during an observation period, no contingent coupon will be paid for the relevant coupon payment date.

O Early Redemption Right – Commencing in January 2027 and ending in October 2029, we may redeem your notes on any coupon payment date, regardless of the performance of the indices, and you will receive the face amount of your notes plus any contingent coupon otherwise due, and no further payments will be owed to you under the notes.

O Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity with Potential for Full Downside Market Exposure –At maturity, if we do not redeem your notes early and the final index level of each index is equal to or greater than its downside threshold, you will receive a payment equal to the face amount of your notes plus any final contingent coupon otherwise due. If, however, we do not redeem your notes early and the final index level of any index is less than its downside threshold, you will receive less than the face amount, if anything, and no contingent coupon, resulting in a percentage loss on your investment equal to the lesser performing index return. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the notes to maturity. Any payment on the notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Notice to investors: the notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. GS Finance Corp. is not necessarily obligated to repay the face amount of the notes at maturity, and the notes may have the same downside market risk as the indices. This market risk is in addition to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. You should not purchase the notes if you do not understand or are not comfortable with the significant risks involved in investing in the notes.

You should read the disclosure herein to better understand the terms and risks of your investment, including the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. See page PS-14.

Investor Suitability

The notes may be suitable for you if, among other considerations:

 You fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the notes, including the risk of loss of your entire initial investment.

 You understand and accept that an investment in the notes is linked to the performance of the lesser performing index and not a basket of the indices, that you will be exposed to the individual market risk of each index on each trading day during each observation period, including the determination date, and that you may lose your entire initial investment if the closing level of any index is less than its downside threshold on the determination date.

 You can tolerate a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment and are willing to make an investment that may have the same downside market risk as an investment in the lesser performing index or the stocks comprising the lesser performing index.

 You accept that you may not receive a contingent coupon on some or all of the coupon payment dates.

 You believe that the closing level of each index will be equal to or greater than its coupon barrier on each trading day during each observation period and the final index level of each index will be equal to or greater than its downside threshold on the determination date.

 You can accept that the risks of each index are not mitigated by the performance of any other index and the risks of investing in notes with a return based on the performance of multiple indices.

 You understand and accept that you will not participate in any appreciation of any index and that your potential return is limited to the contingent coupons.

 You can tolerate fluctuations in the market price of the notes prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the levels of the indices.

 You are willing to invest in the notes based on the contingent coupon, downside threshold(s) and coupon barrier(s) specified on the cover hereof.

 You do not seek guaranteed current income from this investment and are willing to forgo dividends paid on the stocks comprising the indices.

 You are able and willing to invest in notes that we may redeem early and you are otherwise able and willing to hold the notes to maturity.

 You accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the notes and that any secondary market will depend in large part on the price, if any, at which GS&Co., is willing to purchase the notes.

 You understand and accept the risks associated with the indices.

The notes may not be suitable for you if, among other considerations:

 You do not fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the notes, including the risk of loss of your entire initial investment.

 You do not understand or are unwilling to accept that an investment in the notes is linked to the performance of the lesser performing index and not a basket of the indices, that you will be exposed to the individual market risk of each index on each trading day during each observation period, including the determination date, and that you may lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment if the closing level of any index is less than its downside threshold on the determination date.

 You cannot tolerate a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment and are unwilling to make an investment that may have the same downside market risk as an investment in the lesser performing index or the stocks comprising the lesser performing index.

 You require an investment designed to provide a full return of principal at maturity.

 You do not accept that you may not receive a contingent coupon on some or all of the coupon payment dates.

 You cannot accept that the risks of each index are not mitigated by the performance of any other index or the risks of investing in securities with a return based on the performance of multiple indices.

 You seek an investment that participates in the full appreciation of the levels of the indices or the positive return of which is not limited to the contingent coupons.

 You cannot tolerate fluctuations in the market price of the notes prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the levels of the indices.

 You are not willing to invest in the notes based on the contingent coupon, downside threshold(s) or coupon barrier(s) specified on the cover hereof.

 You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings.

 You seek guaranteed current income from this investment or prefer to receive the dividends paid on the stocks comprising the indices.

 You are unable or unwilling to invest in notes that we may redeem early, or you are otherwise unable or unwilling to hold the notes to maturity, or you seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.

 You do not understand or accept the risks associated with the indices.

Trade Date		The initial underlying index level for each underlying index and the final terms of the notes are set.
$\"img146465109_1.gif\"$
Observation End Dates (Quarterly)		If the closing level of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier on each trading day during an observation period, you will receive the contingent coupon on the related coupon payment date. If the closing level of any underlying index is less than its coupon barrier on any trading day during an observation period, you will not receive the contingent coupon on the related coupon payment date. Also, commencing in January 2027, we may redeem your notes on any coupon payment date (other than the stated maturity date) and you will receive the face amount of your notes plus any contingent coupon otherwise due on the related coupon payment date, and no further payments will be owed to you under the notes.

Maturity Date		The final underlying index level of each underlying index is determined as of the determination date. If we do not redeem your notes early and the final underlying index level of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its downside threshold, on the stated maturity date we will pay you an amount in cash for each $10 face amount of your notes equal to the sum of $10 plus any final contingent coupon otherwise due. You will only receive a contingent coupon if the conditions for receiving such payment described above are met. If we do not redeem your notes early and the final underlying index level of any underlying index is less than its downside threshold, on the stated maturity date we will pay you an amount in cash for each $10 face amount of your notes equal to the sum of (i) $10 plus (ii) the product of (a) the lesser performing underlying index return times (b) $10. You will receive less than the face amount of your notes, resulting in a loss on your investment proportionate to the decline of the lesser performing underlying index.

INVESTING IN THE NOTES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES. ANY PAYMENT ON THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF GS FINANCE CORP. AND THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. IF GS FINANCE CORP. AND THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. WERE TO DEFAULT ON THEIR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO YOU UNDER THE NOTES AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

The actual terms for the offering of notes are specified above.

The following examples are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate (i) the impact that various hypothetical closing levels of the underlying indices during an observation period could have on the contingent coupon payable, if any, on the related coupon payment date and (ii) the impact that the various hypothetical closing levels of the lesser performing underlying index on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of underlying index levels of the lesser performing underlying index that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the underlying index level of any underlying index will be on any day throughout the life of your notes, what the closing level of any underlying index will be on any trading day during any observation period, and what the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index will be on the determination date. The underlying indices have been highly volatile in the past — meaning that the underlying index levels have changed substantially in relatively short periods — and their performance cannot be predicted for any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the examples below such as interest rates, the volatility of the underlying indices, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor. In addition, the estimated value of your notes any time (as determined by reference to pricing models used by GS&Co.) will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. For more information on the estimated value of your notes, see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes — The Estimated Value of Your Notes At Any Time (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Will Reflect Many Factors and Cannot Be Predicted” on page PS-14 of this pricing supplement.

The actual performance of the underlying indices over the life of your notes, the actual underlying index levels on any trading day during an observation period, as well as the contingent coupon payable, if any, on each coupon payment date, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlying index levels shown

PS-8

elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information about the underlying index levels during recent periods, see “The Underlying Indices — Historical Closing Levels of the Underlying Indices” on page PS-23. Before investing in the notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the underlying index levels between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the notes.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underlying index stocks.

Example 1 – We exercise our early redemption right on the first hypothetical coupon payment date (which is also the first hypothetical date with respect to which we could exercise such right)

			Total Contingent Coupon Payments	$0.2875

The lowest hypothetical closing level of each underlying index is greater than its hypothetical initial underlying index level on each trading day during the first hypothetical observation period. Further, we also exercise our early redemption right with respect to a redemption on the first coupon payment date (which is also the first hypothetical date with respect to which we could exercise such right). Therefore, on the first coupon payment date (the redemption date), in addition to the hypothetical contingent coupon, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $10 for each $10 face amount of your notes. No further payments will be made on the notes since your notes will no longer be outstanding.

Example 2 –We do not exercise our early redemption right, the hypothetical final underlying index level of each underlying index is at or above its hypothetical downside threshold and the lowest hypothetical closing level of each underlying index during the final observation period is at or above its hypothetical coupon barrier

			Total Contingent Coupon Payments	$0.8625

*Also assumes, for each underlying index, a hypothetical final underlying index level equal to the lowest hypothetical closing level for such underlying index during the final observation period.

Because we do not exercise our early redemption right and the hypothetical final underlying index level of each underlying index is equal to or greater than its hypothetical downside threshold, you will receive a cash settlement amount at maturity equal to the face amount of your notes, or $10. Because the hypothetical closing level of each underlying index is equal to or greater than its coupon barrier on each trading day during the final observation period, a contingent coupon will be paid for the final observation period. At maturity, you will receive a cash settlement amount equal to $10, plus the final coupon.

Example 3 – We do not exercise our early redemption right, the hypothetical final underlying index level of each underlying index is at or above its hypothetical downside threshold and the lowest hypothetical closing level of the lesser performing underlying index during the final observation period is below its hypothetical coupon barrier

			Total Contingent Coupon Payments	$0.2875

*Also assumes, for each underlying index, a hypothetical final underlying index level equal to the lowest hypothetical closing level for such underlying index during the final observation period.

Because we do not exercise our early redemption right and the hypothetical final underlying index level of each underlying index is equal to or greater than its hypothetical downside threshold, you will receive a cash settlement amount at maturity equal to the face amount of your notes, or $10. Because the hypothetical closing level of at least one underlying index was less than its hypothetical coupon barrier on at least one trading day during the final observation period, no contingent coupon will be paid for the final observation period.

Including the contingent coupons paid over the term of the notes, this represents a return of 2.875% of the face amount of your notes.

*Also assumes, for each underlying index, a hypothetical final underlying index level equal to the lowest hypothetical closing level for such underlying index during the final observation period.

Because we do not exercise our early redemption right and the hypothetical closing level of at least one underlying index is less than its hypothetical coupon barrier on at least one trading day during each observation period, you will not receive a contingent coupon payment on any hypothetical coupon payment date. As the hypothetical final underlying index level of at least one underlying index is less than its hypothetical downside threshold, you will receive a cash settlement amount at maturity equal to the sum of (i) $10 plus (ii) the product of (a) the lesser performing underlying index return times (b) $10, calculated as follows:

$10 + (the lesser performing underlying index return × $10) = $10 + ((55 - 100)/100)) × $10) = $5.50

This represents a loss of 45% of the face amount of your notes.

PS-10

Hypothetical Cash Settlement Amount at Maturity

If we have not redeemed the notes early, the cash settlement amount we would deliver for each $10 face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date will depend on the performance of the lesser performing underlying index on the determination date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that we have not redeemed the notes early and reflects hypothetical cash settlement amounts that you could receive on the stated maturity date.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlying index levels of the lesser performing underlying index and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index, and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $10 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index and the assumptions noted above.

*Does not include the final contingent coupon, if any

If, for example, we have not redeemed the notes early and the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index were determined to be 25.000% of its initial underlying index level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 25.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 75.000% of your investment excluding any contingent coupons you may have received over the term of the notes (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). In addition, if the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index were determined to be 85.000% of its initial underlying index level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 100.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. Because the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index is greater than or equal to its downside threshold, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would receive $10 for each $10 face amount of your notes. Alternatively, if the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index were determined to be 175.000% of its initial underlying index level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be limited to 100.000% of each $10 face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlying index level over the initial underlying index level.

PS-11

The cash settlement amounts shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on hypothetical market prices for the underlying indices that may not be achieved on the determination date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in any offered notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held to the stated maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples. Please read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes — The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” on page PS-18.

Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For example, payments on the notes are economically equivalent to a bond bought by the holder and one or more options entered into between the holder and us. Therefore, the terms of the notes may be impacted by the various factors mentioned under “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes — The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” on page PS-18. The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes, as described elsewhere in this pricing supplement.

We cannot predict the actual closing levels of the underlying indices on any day, the final underlying index levels of the underlying indices or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the closing levels of the underlying indices and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual contingent coupon payment, if any, that a holder of the notes, will receive on each coupon payment date, the actual amount that you will receive at maturity, if any, and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on whether or not the notes are redeemed and on the actual closing levels of the underlying indices and the actual final underlying index levels determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical examples are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the contingent coupon to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, and the cash amount to be paid in respect of your notes on the stated maturity date, if any, may be very different from the information reflected in the examples above.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NOTES

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks and considerations described in the accompanying prospectus, in the accompanying prospectus supplement, under “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Securities” in the accompanying underlier supplement and under “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the accompanying general terms supplement. You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement, the accompanying underlier supplement and the accompanying general terms supplement. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying index stocks, i.e., with respect to an underlying index to which your notes are linked, the stocks comprising such underlying index. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are appropriate given your particular circumstances.

Without limiting the foregoing, for certain risks and considerations related to conflicts of interest, including calculation agent discretion and hedging activities, see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes — Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales — The Calculation Agent Will Have the Authority to Make Determinations That Could Affect the Market Value of Your Notes, When Your Notes Mature and the Amount, If Any, Payable on Your Notes” and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes — Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest — Hedging Activities by Goldman Sachs or Our Distributors May Negatively Impact Investors in the Notes and Cause Our Interests and Those of Our Clients and Counterparties to be Contrary to Those of Investors in the Notes” in the accompanying general terms supplement.

♦ Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

♦ The Estimated Value of Your Notes At Any Time (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Will Reflect Many Factors and Cannot Be Predicted

The estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, as determined by reference to GS&Co.’s pricing models and taking into account our credit spreads, is not less than the face amount of your notes. Thereafter, the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these models could be lower than the face amount of your notes and will be affected by changes in market conditions, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor, and other relevant factors. If GS&Co. buys or sells your notes (if it makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) it will do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to such pricing models at that time. The price at which GS&Co. will buy or sell your notes at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

In estimating the value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, GS&Co.’s pricing models consider certain variables, including principally our credit spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to maturity of the notes. These pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of your notes determined by reference to our models due to, among other things, any differences in pricing models or assumptions used by others. See “— The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” below.

PS-13

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by GS&Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness or the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. These changes may adversely affect the value of your notes, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price will reflect the estimated value determined by reference to GS&Co.’s pricing models at that time, plus or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount. This commission or discount will further reduce the proceeds you would receive for your notes in a secondary market sale.

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See “— Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market” below.

♦\tThe Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor

Although the contingent coupons (if any) and return on the notes will be based on the performance of each underlying index, the payment of any amount due on the notes is subject to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp., as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes. The notes are our unsecured obligations. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Similarly, investors are dependent on the ability of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes, to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore are also subject to its credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of its creditworthiness. See “Description of the Notes We May Offer — Information About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series F Program — How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt” on page S-5 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer— Guarantee by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.” on page 65 of the accompanying prospectus.

♦\tYou May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Notes

You can lose your entire investment in the notes. Assuming we do not redeem your notes early, the cash settlement amount on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the lesser performing underlying index as measured from its initial underlying index level to its closing level on the determination date. If the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index is less than its downside threshold, you will have a loss for each $10 of the face amount of your notes equal to the product of the lesser performing underlying index return times $10. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.

Also, the application of the downside threshold applies only at maturity and the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.

PS-14

♦\tThe Return on Your Notes May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Level of the Lesser Performing Underlying Index

If your notes are not redeemed and the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index is less than its downside threshold, you will receive less than the face amount of your notes and you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the notes. This means that while a decrease in the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index to its downside threshold will not result in a loss of principal on the notes, a decrease in the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index to less than its downside threshold will result in a loss of a significant portion of the face amount of the notes despite only a small change in the level of the lesser performing underlying index.

♦\tYou May Not Receive a Contingent Coupon on Any Coupon Payment Date and the Potential to Receive a Contingent Coupon on a Coupon Payment Date May Terminate at Any Time During the Applicable Observation Period

You will be paid a contingent coupon on a coupon payment date only if the closing level of each underlying index is equal to or greater than its coupon barrier on each trading day during the preceding observation period. If the closing level of any underlying index on any trading day during the applicable observation period is less than its coupon barrier, you will not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable coupon payment date. This will be the case even if the closing level of each other underlying index is above its coupon barrier on each trading day during the applicable observation period and even if the closing level of that underlying index is above its coupon barrier on every other day during the applicable observation period. If this occurs during every observation period, whether due to changes in the levels of one or more than one of the underlying indices, the overall return you earn on your notes will be zero or less and such return will be less than you would have earned by investing in a note that bears interest at the prevailing market rate.

♦\tBecause the Notes Are Linked to the Performance of the Lesser Performing Underlying Index, You Have a Greater Risk of Receiving No Quarterly Contingent Coupons and Sustaining a Significant Loss on Your Investment Than If the Notes Were Linked to Just One Underlying Index

The risk that you will not receive any quarterly contingent coupons, or that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment, is greater if you invest in the notes as opposed to substantially similar notes that are linked to the performance of just one underlying index. With three underlying indices, it is more likely that an underlying index will close below its coupon barrier on any trading day during an observation period, or below its downside threshold on the determination date, than if the notes were linked to only one underlying index. Therefore, it is more likely that you will not receive any quarterly contingent coupons and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.

Movements in the values of the underlying indices may be correlated or uncorrelated at different times during the term of the notes and, if there is correlation, such correlation may be positive (the underlying indices move in the same direction) or negative (the underlying indices move in reverse directions). You should not take the historical correlation (or lack thereof) of the underlying indices as an indication of the future correlation, if any, of the underlying indices. Such correlation could have an adverse effect on your return on the notes. For example, if one underlying index is negatively correlated with the other underlying indices during the observation period or on the determination date, as applicable, and the level of such underlying index increases, it is likely that the other underlying indices will decrease and such decrease could cause one or both of the other underlying indices to close below its coupon barrier during the observation period or below its downside threshold on the determination date. In addition, although the correlation of the underlying indices’ performance may change over the term of the notes, the contingent coupon is determined, in part, based on the correlation of the underlying indices' performance at the time when the terms of the notes are finalized. As discussed below in “A Higher Contingent Coupon, a Lower Coupon Barrier and/or a Lower Downside Threshold May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underlying Indices, and Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates An Increased Risk of Declines in the Levels of the Underlying Indices and, Potentially, a Significant Loss at Maturity”, higher contingent coupons indicate a greater potential for missed contingent coupons and for a loss on your investment at maturity, which are risks generally associated with underlying indices that have lower correlation. In addition, other factors and inputs other than correlation may impact how the terms of the notes are set and the performance of the notes.

PS-15

♦\tA Higher Contingent Coupon, a Lower Coupon Barrier and/or a Lower Downside Threshold May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underlying Indices, and Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates An Increased Risk of Declines in the Levels of the Underlying Indices and, Potentially, a Significant Loss at Maturity

The economic terms for the notes, including the contingent coupon, the coupon barrier and the downside threshold, are based, in part, on the expected volatility of each underlying index at the time the terms of the notes are set. “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the levels of the underlying indices.

Higher expected volatility with respect to each underlying index as of the trade date generally indicates a greater expectation as of that date that (i) the final underlying index level of the lesser performing underlying index could ultimately be less than its downside threshold on the determination date, which would result in a loss of a significant portion or all of your investment in the notes, or (ii) the closing level of the underlying index on any trading day during the applicable observation period will be less than its coupon barrier, which would result in the nonpayment of the contingent coupon. At the time the terms of the notes are set, higher expected volatility will generally be reflected in a higher contingent coupon, a lower coupon barrier and/or a lower downside threshold, as compared to otherwise comparable notes issued by the same issuer with the same maturity (taking into account any ability of the issuer to redeem the notes prior to maturity) but with one or more different underlying indices. However, there is no guarantee that the higher contingent coupon, lower coupon barrier or lower downside threshold set for your notes on the trade date will adequately compensate you, from a risk-potential reward perspective, for the greater risk of receiving no contingent coupon on any coupon payment date or of losing some or all of your investment in the notes.

A relatively higher contingent coupon (as compared to otherwise comparable securities), which would increase the positive return if the closing level of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier on every trading day during the applicable observation period, or a relatively lower coupon barrier, which would increase the amount that an underlying index could decrease during the applicable observation period before the notes become ineligible for a particular coupon payment, may generally indicate an increased risk that the level of each underlying index will decrease substantially, which would result in the nonpayment of the contingent coupon on some or all of the coupon payment dates.

Similarly, a relatively lower downside threshold (as compared to otherwise comparable securities), which would increase the buffer against the loss of principal, may generally indicate an increased risk that the level of each underlying index will decrease substantially. This would result in a significant loss at maturity if the final underlying index level of at least one underlying index is less than its downside threshold. Further, a relatively lower downside threshold may not indicate that the notes have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity based on the performance of each underlying index.

You should not take the historical volatility of any underlying index as an indication of its future volatility. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of each underlying index and the potential to not receive some or all of the contingent coupons and to lose some or all of your investment in the notes.

♦\tWe Are Able to Redeem Your Notes at Our Option

On any quarterly coupon payment date commencing in January 2027 and ending in October 2029, we will be permitted to redeem your notes at our option. Even if we do not exercise our option to redeem your notes, our ability to do so may adversely affect the value of your notes. It is our sole option whether to redeem your notes prior to maturity and we may or may not exercise this option for any reason. Many factors may influence the likelihood of your notes being redeemed. In general, your notes are more likely to be redeemed when prevailing interest rates are lower than the applicable coupon payable on a coupon payment date. In addition, we will be more likely to redeem the notes when we expect the closing level of each underlying index to be greater than or equal to its coupon barrier on every trading day during the applicable observation period. On the other hand, we will be less likely to redeem the notes when we expect the closing level of any underlying index to be less than its (i) coupon barrier on a trading day during the applicable observation period or (ii) downside threshold on the determination date, such that you will receive no coupons and/or that you will suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the notes at maturity. Because of this redemption option, the term of your notes could be reduced. You may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the notes are redeemed prior to maturity, particularly if the notes are redeemed in the low interest rate environment described above.

PS-16

♦\tThe Contingent Coupon Does Not Reflect the Actual Performance of the Underlying Indices

On any coupon payment date, you will receive a contingent coupon only if the level of each underlying index is equal to or above its coupon barrier on every trading day during the preceding observation period. The contingent coupon for each quarterly coupon payment date is different from, and may be less than, a contingent coupon that is based on the performance of any underlying index between the trade date and any observation end date or between two observation end dates. You will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying index. Accordingly, the contingent coupons, if any, on the notes may be less than the return you could earn on another instrument linked to any underlying index that pays contingent coupons based on the performance of such underlying index from the trade date to any observation end date or from observation end date to observation end date. In addition, although the observation periods and coupon payment dates occur quarterly, there may not be an equal number of trading days in each observation period and there may not be an equal number of days between coupon payment dates. However, the way in which the contingent coupon is determined will not vary based on the actual number of trading days in any observation period or the actual number of days between coupon payment dates.

♦\tThe Cash Settlement Amount Will Be Based Solely on the Lesser Performing Underlying Index

If the notes are not redeemed by us, the cash settlement amount will be based on the lesser performing underlying index without regard to the performance of the other underlying indices. As a result, you could lose all or some of your initial investment if the lesser performing underlying index return is negative, even if there is an increase in the levels of the other underlying indices. This could be the case even if the other underlying indices increased by an amount greater than the decrease in the lesser performing underlying index.

♦\tYou Are Exposed to the Market Risk of Each Underlying Index

Your return on the notes will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlying index. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of the basket, you will be fully exposed to the risks related to each underlying index. Poor performance by either of the underlying indices over the term of the notes may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other underlying indices.

To receive any contingent coupon payment, each underlying index must close at or above its coupon barrier on every trading day during the preceding observation period. To receive any contingent repayment of principal at maturity, each underlying index must close at or above its downside threshold on the determination date. In addition, if not redeemed prior to maturity, you will incur a loss proportionate to the negative return of the lesser performing underlying index even if the other underlying indices appreciate during the term of the notes. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each underlying index.

Movements in the values of the underlying indices may be correlated or uncorrelated at different times during the term of the notes. Any such correlation may be positive (the underlying indices move in the same direction) or negative (the underlying indices move in reverse directions), and such correlation (or lack thereof) could have an adverse effect on your return on the notes. If the performance of the underlying indices is not correlated or is negatively correlated, the risk of not receiving a contingent coupon and of incurring a significant loss of principal at maturity generally increases.

For example, the likelihood that one of the underlying indices will close below its coupon barrier on a trading day during the preceding observation period, and/or its downside threshold on the determination date, generally will increase when the movements in the values of the underlying indices are negatively correlated. This results in a greater likelihood that a contingent coupon will not be paid during the term of the notes and/or that there will be a significant loss of principal at maturity if the notes are not previously redeemed.

However, even if the underlying indices have a higher positive correlation, one or more of those underlying indices might close below its coupon barrier on any trading day during the preceding observation period or its downside threshold on the determination date, as each of the underlying indices may decrease in value together.

PS-17

The contingent coupon and the downside threshold are determined, in part, based on the correlations of the underlying indices’ performance at the time when the terms of the notes are set on the trade date. A higher contingent coupon, a lower coupon barrier and/or a lower downside threshold (as compared to otherwise comparable securities) are generally associated with more negative correlation, which reflects a greater likelihood that a contingent coupon will not be paid and that there will be a loss on your investment at maturity. However, there is no guarantee that the higher contingent coupon, lower coupon barrier or lower downside threshold set for your notes on the trade date will adequately compensate you, from a risk-potential reward perspective, for the greater risk of receiving no contingent coupon on any coupon payment date or of losing some or all of your investment in the notes.

The correlations referenced in setting the terms of the notes are based on the future expected correlation of the underlying indices as determined by us and are not derived from the daily levels of the underlying indices over the period set forth under “Correlation of the Underlying Indices.” Other factors and inputs other than correlation may also impact how the terms of the notes are set and the performance of the notes.

The greater the number of underlying indices to which a note is linked, generally the more likely it is that one of the underlying indices will close below its coupon barrier or its downside threshold, resulting in a greater likelihood that a contingent coupon will not be paid during the terms of the notes and that there will be a significant loss of principal at maturity.

♦\tThe Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors

When we refer to the market value of your notes, we mean the value that you could receive for your notes if you chose to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and impact the value of bonds and options generally, will influence the market value of your notes, including:

•

the levels of the underlying indices;

•

the volatility – i.e., the frequency and magnitude of changes – in the closing levels of the underlying indices;

•

the dividend rates of the underlying index stocks;

•

economic, financial, regulatory, political, military, public health and other events that affect stock markets generally and the underlying index stocks, and which may affect the closing levels of the underlying indices;

•

the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the underlying indices, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;

•

interest rates and yield rates in the market;

•

the time remaining until your notes mature; and

•

our creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., whether actual or perceived, and including actual or anticipated upgrades or downgrades in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or changes in other credit measures.

Without limiting the foregoing, the market value of your notes may be negatively impacted by increasing interest rates. Such adverse impact of increasing interest rates could be significantly enhanced in notes with longer-dated maturities, the market values of which are generally more sensitive to increasing interest rates.

These factors, and many other factors, will influence the price you will receive if you sell your notes before maturity, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. If you sell your notes before maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes or the amount you may receive at maturity.

You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying indices based on their historical performance. The actual performance of the underlying indices over the life of the offered notes, the amount paid upon any early redemption of your notes, the cash settlement amount paid on the stated maturity date as well as the contingent coupon payable, if any, on each coupon payment date, may bear little or no relation to the historical closing levels of the underlying indices or to the hypothetical examples shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement.

PS-18

♦\tIf You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected

The cash settlement amount you will be paid for your notes on the stated maturity date, if any, or the amount we will pay you upon any early redemption of your notes, will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the face amount of the notes, then the return on your investment in such notes held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at face amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption, the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount or a discount to face amount.

♦\tYou Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlying Index Stock

Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any of the underlying index stocks. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of your notes will have any rights with respect to the underlying index stocks, including any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights to make a claim against the underlying index stocks or any other rights of a holder of the underlying index stocks. Your notes will be paid in cash, as will any contingent coupon payments, and you will have no right to receive delivery of any underlying index stocks.

♦\tYour Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market

Your notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or included in any interdealer market quotation system, and there may be little or no secondary market for your notes. Even if a secondary market for your notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity and we expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and asked prices for your notes in any secondary market could be substantial.

♦\tWe May Sell an Additional Aggregate Face Amount of the Notes at a Different Issue Price

At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or lower) from the issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement.

♦ Additional Risks Related to the Russell 2000® Index

♦\tThere are Small-Capitalization Stock Risks Associated with the Russell 2000® Index

The Russell 2000® Index is comprised of stocks of companies that may be considered small capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may be more volatile than an index in which a greater percentage of the constituent stocks are issued by large-capitalization companies.

♦ Additional Risks Related to the Nasdaq-100 Index®

♦\tAs Compared to Other Index Sponsors, Nasdaq, Inc. Retains Significant Control and Discretionary Decision-Making Over the Nasdaq-100 Index®, Which May Have an Adverse Effect on the Level of the Nasdaq-100 Index® and on Your Notes

Pursuant to the Nasdaq-100 Index® methodology, Nasdaq, Inc. retains the right, from time to time, to exercise reasonable discretion as it deems appropriate in order to ensure Nasdaq-100 Index® integrity, including, but not limited to, changes to quantitative inclusion criteria. Nasdaq, Inc. may also, due to special circumstances, apply discretionary adjustments to ensure and maintain quality of the Nasdaq-100 Index®. Although it is unclear how and to what extent this discretion could or would be exercised, it is possible that it could be exercised by Nasdaq, Inc. in a manner that materially and adversely affects the level of the Nasdaq-100 Index® and therefore your notes. Nasdaq, Inc. is not obligated to, and will not, take account of your interests in exercising the discretion described above.

PS-19

♦\tAn Investment in the Offered Notes Is Subject to Risks Associated with Foreign Securities

The value of your notes is linked, in part, to an underlying index that is comprised of stocks from one or more foreign securities markets. Investments linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve particular risks. Any foreign securities market may be less liquid, more volatile and affected by global or domestic market developments in a different way than are the U.S. securities market or other foreign securities markets. Both government intervention in a foreign securities market, either directly or indirectly, and cross-shareholdings in foreign companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in that market. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

The prices of securities in a foreign country are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that are unique to such foreign country's geographical region. These factors include: recent changes, or the possibility of future changes, in the applicable foreign government's economic and fiscal policies; the possible implementation of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to foreign companies or investments in foreign equity securities; fluctuations, or the possibility of fluctuations, in currency exchange rates; and the possibility of outbreaks of hostility, political instability, natural disaster or adverse public health developments. The United Kingdom ceased to be a member of the European Union on January 31, 2020 (an event commonly referred to as “Brexit”). The effects of Brexit are uncertain, and, among other things, Brexit has contributed, and may continue to contribute, to volatility in the prices of securities of companies located in Europe (or elsewhere) and currency exchange rates, including the valuation of the euro and British pound in particular. Any one of these factors, or the combination of more than one of these factors, could negatively affect such foreign securities market and the price of securities therein. Further, geographical regions may react to global factors in different ways, which may cause the prices of securities in a foreign securities market to fluctuate in a way that differs from those of securities in the U.S. securities market or other foreign securities markets. Foreign economies may also differ from the U.S. economy in important respects, including growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency, which may have a positive or negative effect on foreign securities prices.

♦\tGovernment Regulatory Action, Including Legislative Acts and Executive Orders, Could Result in Material Changes to the Composition of an Underlying Index with Underlying Index Stocks from One or More Foreign Securities Markets and Could Negatively Affect Your Investment in the Notes

Government regulatory action, including legislative acts and executive orders, could cause material changes to the composition of an underlying index with underlying index stocks from one or more foreign securities markets and could negatively affect your investment in the notes in a variety of ways, depending on the nature of such government regulatory action and the underlying index stocks that are affected. For example, recent executive orders issued by the United States Government prohibit United States persons from purchasing or selling publicly traded securities of certain companies that are determined to operate or have operated in the defense and related materiel sector or the surveillance technology sector of the economy of the People’s Republic of China, or publicly traded securities that are derivative of, or that are designed to provide investment exposure to, those securities (including indexed notes). If the prohibitions in those executive orders (or prohibitions under other government regulatory action) become applicable to underlying index stocks that are currently included in an underlying index or that in the future are included in an underlying index, such underlying index stocks may be removed from an underlying index. If government regulatory action results in the removal of underlying index stocks that have (or historically have had) significant weight in an underlying index, such removal could have a material and negative effect on the level of such underlying index and, therefore, your investment in the notes. Similarly, if underlying index stocks that are subject to those executive orders or subject to other government regulatory action are not removed from an underlying index, the value of the notes could be materially and negatively affected, and transactions in, or holdings of, the notes may become prohibited under United States law. Any failure to remove such underlying index stocks from an underlying index could result in the loss of a significant portion or all of your investment in the notes, including if you attempt to divest the notes at a time when the value of the notes has declined.

♦ Risks Related to Tax

♦\tCertain Considerations for Insurance Companies and Employee Benefit Plans

Any insurance company or fiduciary of a pension plan or other employee benefit plan that is subject to the prohibited transaction rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which we call “ERISA”, or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including an IRA or a Keogh plan (or a governmental plan to which similar prohibitions apply), and that is considering purchasing the offered notes with the assets of the insurance company or the assets of such a plan, should consult with its counsel regarding whether the purchase or holding of the offered notes could become a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code or any substantially similar prohibition in light of the representations a purchaser or holder in any of the above categories is deemed to make by purchasing and holding the offered notes. This is discussed in more detail under “Employee Retirement Income Security Act” below.

♦\tThe Tax Consequences of an Investment in Your Notes Are Uncertain

The tax consequences of an investment in your notes are uncertain, both as to the timing and character of any inclusion in income in respect of your notes.

The Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2008-2 on December 7, 2007, announcing that it was considering issuing guidance regarding the tax treatment of an instrument such as your notes. Although the Internal Revenue Service subsequently obsoleted Notice 2008-2 on September 29, 2026, no assurance can be provided that the Internal Revenue Service will not issue guidance in the future, possibly with retroactive effect, that could adversely affect the value and the tax treatment of your notes. Among other things, the Internal Revenue Service may decide to require the holders to accrue ordinary income on a current basis and recognize ordinary income on payment at maturity, and could subject non-U.S. investors to withholding tax. Furthermore, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders that acquired instruments such as your notes after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such instruments. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your notes. We describe these developments in more detail under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – United States Holders – Possible Change in Law” below. You should consult your tax advisor about this matter. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, GS Finance Corp. intends to continue treating the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below unless and until such time as Congress, the Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service determine that some other treatment is more appropriate. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your notes in your particular circumstances.

Historical Closing Levels of the Underlying Indices

The closing levels of the underlying indices have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. In particular, the underlying indices have recently experienced extreme and unusual volatility. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing level of any underlying index during the period shown below is not an indication that such underlying index is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the life of your notes.

You should not take the historical closing levels of an underlying index as an indication of the future performance of an underlying index, including because of recent volatility described above. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of any underlying index or the underlying index stocks will result in you receiving any contingent coupon payments or receiving the outstanding face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date.

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the performance of the underlying indices. Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the relevant underlying index levels between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes and, given the recent volatility described above, you should pay particular attention to recent levels of the underlying indices. The actual performance of an underlying index over the life of the offered notes, as well as the cash settlement amount at maturity may bear little relation to the historical levels shown below.

The graphs below show the daily historical closing levels of each underlying index from January 1, 2021 through October 20, 2026. As a result, the following graphs do not reflect the global financial crisis which began in 2008, which had a materially negative impact on the price of most equity securities and, as a result, the level of most equity indices. We obtained the closing levels in the graphs below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification. Although the official closing levels of the Russell 2000® Index are published to six decimal places by the index sponsor, Bloomberg Financial Services reports the levels of the Russell 2000® Index to fewer decimal places.

Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus.

The following section is the opinion of Sidley Austin llp, counsel to GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. In addition, it is the opinion of Sidley Austin llp that the characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes that will be required under the terms of the notes, as discussed below, is a reasonable interpretation of current law.

This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

•

a dealer in securities or currencies;

•

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;

•

a bank;

•

a life insurance company;

•

a regulated investment company;

•

an accrual method taxpayer subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of its use of financial statements;

•

a tax exempt organization;

•

a partnership;

•

a person that owns a note as a hedge or that is hedged against interest rate risks;

•

a person that owns a note as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes; or

•

a United States holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

Although this section is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect, no statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how your notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as a result, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in your notes are uncertain. Moreover, these laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the notes, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

United States Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a United States holder that holds your notes as a capital asset for tax purposes. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of a note and you are:

•

a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a domestic corporation;

•

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

Tax Treatment. You will be obligated pursuant to the terms of the notes — in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary — to characterize your notes for all tax purposes as income-bearing pre-paid derivative contracts in respect of the underlying indices. Except as otherwise stated below, the discussion below assumes that the notes will be so treated.

PS-26

Contingent coupon payments that you receive should be included in ordinary income at the time you receive the payment or when the payment accrues, in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity (excluding any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid contingent coupon payments, which will be taxable as described above) and your tax basis in your notes. Your tax basis in your notes will generally be equal to the amount that you paid for the notes. Such capital gain or loss should generally be short-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for one year or less, and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for more than one year. Short-term capital gains are generally subject to tax at the marginal tax rates applicable to ordinary income.

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how your notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the notes are uncertain and alternative characterizations are possible. Accordingly, we urge you to consult your tax advisor in determining the tax consequences of an investment in your notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

Alternative Treatments. There is no judicial or administrative authority discussing how your notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the Internal Revenue Service might assert that a treatment other than that described above is more appropriate. For example, the Internal Revenue Service could treat your notes as a single debt instrument subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments.

Under those rules, the amount of interest you are required to take into account for each accrual period would be determined by constructing a projected payment schedule for the notes and applying rules similar to those for accruing original issue discount on a hypothetical noncontingent debt instrument with that projected payment schedule. This method is applied by first determining the comparable yield — i.e., the yield at which we would issue a noncontingent fixed rate debt instrument with terms and conditions similar to your notes — and then determining a payment schedule as of the applicable original issue date that would produce the comparable yield. These rules may have the effect of requiring you to include interest in income in respect of your notes prior to your receipt of cash attributable to that income.

If the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments apply, any gain you recognize upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes would be treated as ordinary interest income. Any loss you recognize at that time would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included as income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of your notes, and, thereafter, as capital loss.

If the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments apply, special rules would apply to persons who purchase a note at other than the adjusted issue price as determined for tax purposes.

It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could assert that your notes should generally be characterized as described above, except that (1) the gain you recognize upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes should be treated as ordinary income or (2) you should not include the contingent coupon payments in income as you receive them but instead you should reduce your basis in your notes by the amount of contingent coupon payments that you receive. It is also possible that the Internal Revenue Service could seek to characterize your notes in a manner that results in tax consequences to you different from those described above.

It is also possible that the Internal Revenue Service could seek to characterize your notes as notional principal contracts. It is also possible that the contingent coupon payments would not be treated as either ordinary income or interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but instead would be treated in some other manner.

You should consult your tax advisor as to possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Possible Change in Law

In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders that acquired instruments such as your notes after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such instruments. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your notes.

In addition, on December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service released Notice 2008-2 stating that the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department were actively considering issuing guidance regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of an instrument such as the offered notes including whether the holders should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis and whether gain or loss should be ordinary or capital. Although the Internal Revenue Service subsequently obsoleted Notice 2008-2 on September 29, 2026, no assurance can be provided that the Internal Revenue Service will not issue guidance in the future, possibly with retroactive effect, that could adversely affect the value and the tax treatment of your notes. It is possible that under any such guidance, holders of the notes will be required to accrue income currently, potentially on a retroactive basis. Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, GS Finance Corp. intends to continue treating the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above unless and until such time as Congress, the Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.

It is impossible to predict what any such legislation or administrative or regulatory guidance might provide, and whether the effective date of any legislation or guidance will affect notes that were issued before the date that such legislation or guidance is issued. You are urged to consult your tax advisor as to the possibility that any legislative or administrative action may adversely affect the tax treatment of your notes.

Non-United States Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a non-United States holder. You are a non-United States holder if you are the beneficial owner of the notes and are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

a nonresident alien individual;

•

a foreign corporation; or

•

an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from the notes.

Because the U.S. federal income tax treatment (including the applicability of withholding) of the contingent coupon payments on the notes is uncertain, in the absence of further guidance, we intend to withhold on the contingent coupon payments made to you at a 30% rate or at a lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty under an “other income” or similar provision. We will not make payments of any additional amounts. To claim a reduced treaty rate for withholding, you generally must provide a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, or an acceptable substitute form upon which you certify, under penalty of perjury, your status as a non-United States holder and your entitlement to the lower treaty rate. Payments will be made to you at a reduced treaty rate of withholding only if such reduced treaty rate would apply to any possible characterization of the payments (including, for example, if the contingent coupon payments were characterized as contract fees). Withholding also may not apply to contingent coupon payments made to you if: (i) the contingent coupon payments are “effectively connected” with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States and are includable in your gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) the contingent coupon payments are attributable to a permanent establishment that you maintain in the United States, if required by an applicable tax treaty, and (iii) you comply with the requisite certification requirements (generally, by providing an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI). If you are eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax, you may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of that rate by filing a refund claim with the Internal Revenue Service.

“Effectively connected” payments includable in your United States gross income are generally taxed at rates applicable to United States citizens, resident aliens, and domestic corporations; if you are a corporate non-United States holder, “effectively connected” payments may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” under certain circumstances.

PS-28

You will also be subject to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your notes and, notwithstanding that we do not intend to treat the notes as debt for tax purposes, we intend to backup withhold on such payments with respect to your notes unless you comply with the requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding on debt instruments (in which case you will not be subject to such backup withholding) as set forth under “United States Taxation – Taxation of Debt Securities – Non-United States Holders” in the accompanying prospectus.

Furthermore, on December 7, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service released Notice 2008-2 soliciting comments from the public on various issues, including whether instruments such as your notes should be subject to withholding. Although the Internal Revenue Service subsequently obsoleted Notice 2008-2 on September 29, 2026, no assurance can be provided that the Internal Revenue Service will not issue guidance in the future, possibly with retroactive effect, that would cause payments on your notes to be subject to withholding, even if you comply with certification requirements as to your foreign status.

As discussed above, alternative characterizations of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes are possible. Should an alternative characterization of the notes, by reason of a change or clarification of the law, by regulation or otherwise, cause payments with respect to the notes to become subject to withholding tax, we will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate and we will not make payments of any additional amounts. Prospective non-United States holders of the notes should consult their tax advisors in this regard.

In addition, the Treasury Department has issued regulations under which amounts paid or deemed paid on certain financial instruments (“871(m) financial instruments”) that are treated as attributable to U.S.-source dividends could be treated, in whole or in part depending on the circumstances, as a “dividend equivalent” payment that is subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable treaty), which in the case of any contingent coupon payments and any amounts you receive upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, could be collected via withholding. If these regulations were to apply to the notes, we may be required to withhold such taxes if any U.S.-source dividends are paid on the stocks included in the underlying indices during the term of the notes. We could also require you to make certifications (e.g., an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8) prior to any contingent coupon payment or the maturity of the notes in order to avoid or minimize withholding obligations, and we could withhold accordingly (subject to your potential right to claim a refund from the Internal Revenue Service) if such certifications were not received or were not satisfactory. If withholding was required, we would not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld. These regulations generally will apply to 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2029, but will also apply to certain 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) that have a delta (as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) of one and are issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2017. In addition, these regulations will not apply to financial instruments that reference a “qualified index” (as defined in the regulations). We have determined that, as of the issue date of your notes, your notes will not be subject to withholding under these rules. In certain limited circumstances, however, you should be aware that it is possible for non-United States holders to be liable for tax under these rules with respect to a combination of transactions treated as having been entered into in connection with each other even when no withholding is required. You should consult your tax advisor concerning these regulations, subsequent official guidance and regarding any other possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding

Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in “United States Taxation—Taxation of Debt Securities—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to the FATCA withholding rules.
