If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending level of the lowest performing underlier on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at stated maturity. Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any. You will not participate in any appreciation of any underlier, but you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing underlier on the final calculation day if the ending level of that underlier is less than its downside threshold level. You should read the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement dated June 25, 2026, which we refer to herein as the accompanying preliminary pricing 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.
