Autocallable iShares® iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF-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 any call observation date commencing in August 2025. Your notes will be automatically called on a call observation date if the closing level of the iShares® iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF on such date is greater than or equal to the initial underlier level, resulting in a payment on the corresponding call payment date equal to (i) the face amount of your notes plus (ii) the product of $1,000 times the applicable call premium amount.
The return on your notes is linked to the performance of the underlier, and not to that of the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index on which the underlier is based.
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 underlier as measured from the trade date to and including the determination date.
If the final underlier level on the determination date is greater than or equal to the initial underlier level, the return on your notes will be positive and you will receive the maximum settlement amount of at least $1,255 (set on the trade date) for each $1,000 face amount of your notes.
If the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level, you will receive the face amount of your notes.
The return on your notes is capped. If the notes are automatically called, the maximum payment you would receive for each $1,000 face amount of your notes is equal to (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of $1,000 times the applicable call premium amount. If your notes are not automatically called, the maximum payment you would receive on the stated maturity date for each $1,000 face amount of your notes is at least $1,255.
You should read the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement dated July 23, 2024, 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.

Hypothetical Payment on a Call Payment Date* |
If your notes are automatically called on the first call observation date (i.e., on the first call observation date the closing level of the underlier is greater than or equal to the initial underlier level), the amount in cash that we would deliver for each $1,000 face amount of your notes on the applicable call payment date would be the sum of $1,000 plus the product of the applicable call premium amount times $1,000. If, for example, the closing level of the underlier on the first call observation date were determined to be 120% of the initial underlier level, your notes would be automatically called and the amount in cash that we would deliver on your notes on the corresponding call payment date would be 108.5% of the face amount of your notes or $1,085 for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes. * assumes a call premium amount for such call payment date set at the bottom of the call premium amount range |
