Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Base Prospectus to "The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc.", "the Issuer", "we", "our" and "us" mean only The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
and do not include its consolidated subsidiaries. References to "Goldman Sachs", "the Group" and
the "Goldman Sachs Group" refer to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. together with its consolidated
subsidiaries. Also, when we refer to "holders" we mean those who own notes registered in their

-- i.e., book-entry -- form through Euroclear SA/NV, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, or
another depositary. Prospective owners of beneficial interests in the notes issued in global form
should read the section entitled "General Note Conditions -- Form, Exchange, Registration and
Transfer" below.
We have not authorized anyone to provide any information or to make any representations
other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus. Neither this Base
Prospectus nor any final terms constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it is unlawful to make such offer or
solicitation in that jurisdiction. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus, any final terms nor any
sale made pursuant to those documents, shall, under any circumstances, create any implication
that there has been no change in the affairs of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. since the date of the
document or that the information contained within the documents is correct as of any time
subsequent to its date.
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes
of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II").
The credit ratings of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. referred to in the Base Prospectus
have been issued by DBRS, Inc., Fitch, Inc., Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services, each of which is established in the United States (together, the "US CRAs").
In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory
purposes if such rating is not either (1) issued or validly endorsed by a credit rating agency
established in the European Economic Area (an "EEA CRA") and registered with the European
Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") under Regulation (EU) No. 1060/2009, amended by
Regulation (EU) No 513/2011 (as amended, the "CRA Regulation") or (2) issued by a credit rating
agency established outside the European Economic Area which is certified under the CRA
Regulation. UK regulated investors are subject to the CRA Regulation as it forms part of domestic
law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (as amended, the "UK CRA
Regulation"). In general, UK regulated investors are required to use for UK regulatory purposes
ratings issued by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA
Regulation unless (1) the rating is endorsed by a UK registered credit rating agency; or (2) issued
by a third country credit rating agency that is certified in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation,
subject in each case, to (i) the relevant UK registration, certification or endorsement, as the case
may be, not having been withdrawn or suspended, and (ii) transitional provisions that apply in
certain circumstances. In the case of ratings issued by a credit rating agency not established in the
UK, for a certain limited period of time, transitional relief accommodates the continued use for
regulatory purposes in the UK, of ratings issued prior to 1 January 2021, provided that the relevant
conditions are satisfied.
The EU affiliates of DBRS, Inc., Fitch, Inc., Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services are registered EEA CRAs on the official list, available at
https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk. The ESMA has approved the
endorsement by such EU affiliates of credit ratings issued by the corresponding US CRAs.
Accordingly, credit ratings issued by the US CRAs may be used for regulatory purposes in the EU.
In addition to the US CRAs mentioned, Rating and Investment Information, Inc. ("R&I") has issued
a credit rating. This rating is incorporated in the Base Prospectus for information purposes only.
R&I is incorporated in a third country but has not applied for the registration under the CRA
Regulation.

________________
In relation to notes listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the regulated market
of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, this Base Prospectus is valid for a period of twelve months
after its date of approval and will expire on April 16, 2022. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has
undertaken, in connection with the listing of the notes, that if there shall occur any material adverse

assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses and prospects of The
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., of the rights attaching to such notes, and the reason for the issuance
and its impact on the issuer. In relation to the different types of notes that may be issued under the
program, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has included in this Base Prospectus all of the necessary
information except for information which is not known at the date of this Base Prospectus and
which can only be determined at the time of an individual issue of a tranche of notes.
Any information relating to the notes which is not included in this Base Prospectus and
which is required in order to complete the necessary information in relation to a tranche of notes
will be contained either in the relevant final terms or in a further draw-down prospectus.
For a tranche of notes which is the subject of final terms, those final terms will, for the
purposes of that tranche only, complete this Base Prospectus and must be read in conjunction with
this Base Prospectus.
________________
In connection with the issue of any tranche of notes, Goldman Sachs International (or
persons acting on its behalf) may over-allot notes (provided that, in the case of any tranche of notes
to be listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of notes allotted does not exceed 105 per cent of
the aggregate principal amount of the relevant tranche) or effect transactions with a view to
supporting the market price of the notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail.
However, there is no assurance that Goldman Sachs International (or persons acting on its behalf)
will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the relevant tranche of notes is made
and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the
issue date of the relevant tranche of notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant
tranche of notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by Goldman Sachs
International (or persons acting on its behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
________________
Any insurance company or fiduciary of a pension plan or other employee benefit plan that
is subject to the prohibited transactions rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
including an IRA or a Keogh plan (or a governmental plan to which similar prohibitions apply), and
that is considering purchasing the notes with the assets of the insurance company or the assets of
the plan, should consult with its counsel regarding whether the purchase or holding of the notes
could become a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA, the Code or any substantially similar
prohibition in light of the representations a purchaser or holder in any of the above categories is
deemed to make by purchasing and holding the notes. This is discussed in more detail under
"Employee Retirement Income Security Act" below.
________________
IMPORTANT ­ PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the final terms in respect of any notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to
EEA Retail Investors", the notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European
Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or
more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID
II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the
"Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise

-4-

4823-2436-9119 v.6



making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

IMPORTANT ­ PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the final terms in respect of any notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to
UK Retail Investors", the notes are not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i)
a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the
FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as
a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms
part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of
the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK
Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs
Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the final terms in respect of the notes includes a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" or "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail
Investors" but the Issuer subsequently prepares and publishes a key information document under
the PRIIPs Regulation or UK PRIIPs Regulation in respect of such notes, then the prohibition on the
offering, sale or otherwise making available of the notes to retail investors as described above shall
no longer apply.
_______________
Benchmark Regulation
Amounts payable under the notes may be calculated or otherwise determined by reference
to EURIBOR, the Euro Interest Swap Rate, LIBOR, and the USD CMS Rate. As of the date of this
Base Prospectus, the administrator of EURIBOR, the European Money Markets Institute, appears
on the register of administrators and benchmarks maintained by ESMA (the "ESMA Benchmarks
Register") pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (the
"Benchmark Regulation"). As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the administrator of LIBOR, the
Euro Interest Swap Rate, and the USD CMS Rate, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, does not
appear on the ESMA Benchmarks Register. As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions
in Article 51 of the Benchmark Regulation apply, such that ICE Benchmark Administration Limited
(as administrator of LIBOR, the Euro Interest Swap Rate, and the USD CMS Rate) is not currently
required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the EU, recognition,
endorsement or equivalence).
In addition, amounts payable under the notes may be calculated or otherwise determined
by reference to other base rates or indices or combinations of indices as indicated in the applicable
final terms. Any such base rate or index may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of the
Benchmark Regulation. If any such base rate or index does constitute such a benchmark the
applicable final terms will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator
included in the ESMA Benchmarks Register.
Not every base rate or index will fall within the scope of the Benchmark Regulation.
Furthermore, transitional provisions in the Benchmark Regulation may have the result that the
administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear in the register of administrators

-5-

4823-2436-9119 v.6



and benchmarks at the date of the applicable final terms. The registration status of any
administrator under the Benchmark Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where
required by applicable law, we do not intend to update this Base Prospectus or the applicable final
terms to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.

at its option, by written notice to us and the fiscal agent, declare the
principal amount of its note to be immediately due and payable. If the
event of default occurs because of events in bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization relating to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the
principal amount of the notes wil be automatically accelerated, without
any action by the fiscal agent or any holder.
