By Kiku Steinfeld

Chicago, Jan. 8 – GS Finance Corp. LLC priced $2 million of 0% buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities due April 7, 2025 linked to the worse performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

If each index finishes above 118% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be 31.8% of par plus 2.51% for each 1% that lesser-performing index finishes above 118% of its initial value, up to a maximum payout of par plus 82%.

If either index finishes at or below 118% of its initial level but above 98% of its initial level, the payout will be 7% of par plus 1.24% for each 1% that lesser-performing index finishes above 98% of its initial level.

If either index finishes at or below 98% of its initial level but at or above its downside threshold, 88% of its initial level, the payout will be 0.7% of par for each 1% that lesser-performing index finishes above 88%.

Otherwise, investors will be exposed to any losses beyond the downside threshold level.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter, with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management acting as dealer.
