SEC Form FWP filed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

PLUS Based on the Value of a Basket of Underlying Stocks due August 11, 2027

Principal at Risk Securities

The Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM (PLUS) do not bear interest and are unsecured notes issued by GS Finance Corp. and guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

You should read the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement dated July 15, 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.

The amount that you will be paid on your PLUS at stated maturity is based on the performance of an equally weighted basket composed of the common stock or ordinary shares of 10 companies, as measured from the pricing date to and including the valuation date.

The initial basket value is 100, and the final basket value will equal the sum of the products, as calculated separately for each underlying stock, of: (i) the closing value of such underlying stock on the valuation date multiplied by (ii) its multiplier. The multiplier will equal, for each underlying stock, the quotient of (i) the weighting of such underlying stock multiplied by 100 divided by (ii) its initial basket component value.

At maturity, if the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value of 100, the return on your PLUS will be positive and equal to the product of the leverage factor multiplied by the basket percent increase, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. If the final basket value less than the initial basket value, you will lose a portion of your investment. Declines in one or more underlying stocks may offset increases in the other underlying stocks.

The PLUS are for investors who seek the potential to earn 150% of any positive return of the basket, subject to the maximum payment at maturity, are willing to forgo interest payments and are willing to risk losing their investment if the final basket value has declined from the initial basket value.
