	Autocallable Buffered Equity-Linked Notes due
OVERVIEW

The notes do not bear interest. The notes will mature on the stated maturity date unless they are automatically called on the call observation date. Your notes will be automatically called on the call observation date if the closing price of the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.) on such date is greater than or equal to the initial index stock price (set on the trade date and will be an intra-day price or the closing price of one share of the index stock on the trade date), resulting in a payment on the call payment date for each $1,000 face amount of your notes equal to between $1,148.8 and $1,175 (set on the trade date).

If your notes are not automatically called, the amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the index stock as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date.

If the final index stock price on the determination date is greater than or equal to the initial index stock price, the return on your notes will be positive or zero and will equal 1.5 times the index stock return. If the final index stock price declines by up to 20% from the initial index stock price, the return on your notes will be the absolute value of the index stock return (e.g., if the index stock return is -10%, the return on your notes will be +10%).

If the final index stock price declines by more than 20% from the initial index stock price, the return on your notes will be negative and you will lose 1.25% of the face amount of your notes for every 1% that the final index stock price has declined below 80% of the initial index stock price. You could lose your entire investment in the notes.

You should read the accompanying preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 14, 2025, which we refer to herein as the accompanying preliminary prospectus supplement, to better understand the terms and risks of your investment, including the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

If, for example, the closing price of the index stock on the call observation date were determined to be 140% of the initial index stock price, your notes would be automatically called and the amount in cash that we would deliver on your notes on the call payment date would be 114.88% of the face amount of your notes or would be $1,148.8 for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes. * assumes the amount payable on the call payment date if a redemption event occurs set at the bottom of the range
