Description détaillée Goldman Sachs est une banque d'investissement multinationale américaine offrant des services financiers tels que la banque d'investissement, la gestion d'actifs, la gestion de patrimoine et la vente et négociation de titres.

Examen de l'Obligation Goldman Sachs US38150AE506 Arrivée à Échéance Le marché obligataire, pilier du financement des entreprises et des gouvernements, voit régulièrement des titres arriver à terme. Cet article se propose d'examiner en détail une obligation spécifique émise par Goldman Sachs, portant le code ISIN US38150AE506 et le code CUSIP 38150AE50, qui a récemment atteint sa date de maturité et a été intégralement remboursée. L'émetteur de ce titre est Goldman Sachs, une institution financière multinationale de premier plan basée aux États-Unis. Fondée en 1869, Goldman Sachs est reconnue mondialement pour son expertise dans la banque d'investissement, la gestion d'actifs, le courtage en valeurs mobilières et les services financiers diversifiés. En tant que l'une des plus grandes banques d'investissement au monde, elle joue un rôle crucial dans le financement de grandes entreprises et de gouvernements, ainsi que dans la fourniture de conseils financiers stratégiques. Sa capacité à lever des capitaux sur les marchés financiers par l'émission d'obligations témoigne de sa stature et de sa solidité financière, même si la perception de la qualité de crédit d'une émission spécifique peut varier. L'obligation en question, libellée en dollars américains (USD), présentait un taux d'intérêt nominal de 3%, avec des paiements de coupons effectués à une fréquence semi-annuelle (deux fois par an). La taille totale de cette émission s'élevait à 7 900 000 USD, avec une taille minimale d'achat fixée à 1 000 USD, la rendant accessible à un éventail d'investisseurs. Le pays d'émission de ce titre était les États-Unis. La caractéristique la plus significative de cette obligation est qu'elle est arrivée à maturité le 30 mars 2030. Conformément aux termes d'émission, elle a été remboursée à 100% de son prix nominal. Cela signifie que les détenteurs de cette obligation ont récupéré leur capital initial, en plus des intérêts accumulés jusqu'à la date de remboursement. Le prix "actuel sur le marché" de 100% au moment du remboursement atteste que le titre a été racheté à sa valeur faciale, comme c'est la norme pour les obligations remboursées à échéance. Concernant sa notation, cette obligation n'a pas fait l'objet d'une évaluation par l'agence Standard & Poor's (S&P), comme indiqué par la mention 'NR' (Not Rated). L'absence de notation officielle ne préjuge pas de la qualité de crédit de l'émetteur, mais peut influencer la liquidité et la base d'investisseurs du titre, certains investisseurs institutionnels étant contraints de n'investir que dans des titres notés. En somme, l'obligation Goldman Sachs (US38150AE506) représente un cas d'étude d'un instrument de dette ayant complété son cycle de vie. Son remboursement réussi à la date d'échéance confirme le respect des engagements de l'émetteur envers ses porteurs, clôturant ainsi son parcours sur le marché secondaire.

Book-Entry System
We will issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will
settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the
limited situations described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a
Global Security? -- Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be
Terminated". Investors may hold interests in a master global note through organizations that participate, directly or

Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer ­ Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities ­
Interest Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be
calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued
interest factor will be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the 30/360 (ISDA) day count
convention. The factor is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360,
calculated on a formula basis as follows:
[360 × (Y2 ­ Y1)] + [30 × (M2 ­ M1)] + (D2 ­ D1)
360
w he re :
"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"Y2" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest period
falls;
"M1" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period
falls;
"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the
interest period falls;
"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in which
case D1 will be 30; and
"D2" is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest period,
unless such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30.


When We Can Redeem the Notes
We will be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The notes will
not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund ­ that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate
custodial account to repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its
stated maturity.

PS-5


We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each March 30, June 30,
September 30 and December 30 on or after September 30, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five
business days' prior notice in the manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the
attached prospectus. If the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue
on and after the redemption date on the notes. If any redemption date is not a business day, we will pay the redemption
price on the next business day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.

What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the
accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of
the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the
notes. This summary supplements the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.

As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact
that the interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations generally
deem an issuer to exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining
whether a debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we call the notes immediately before
the increase in the interest rate on March 30, 2026 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID
purposes. This assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000156459020012778/gs-424b2.htm[3/25/2020 3:11:23 PM]


gs-424b2.htm
income tax purposes, and is not an indication of our intention to call or not to call the notes at any time. If we do not call the
notes prior to the increase in the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes, the notes will be deemed to be reissued at their
adjusted issue price on March 30, 2026. This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same
analysis would apply to the increase in the interest rate on March 30, 2029. If the notes are not called on the interest payment
date occurring on March 30, 2029, then, because the period between the interest payment date on March 30, 2029 and the
stated maturity date of the notes is one year or less, the notes, upon their deemed reissuance on March 30, 2029, could be
treated as short-term debt securities for OID purposes (but not for purposes of determining the holding period of your notes). For
a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of owning short-term debt securities, please review
the section entitled "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--United States Holders--Short-Term Debt Securities" in
the accompanying prospectus.

Under this approach, and subject to the discussion above regarding short-term debt securities, interest on a note will be
taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. holder's
normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we call the notes). Upon the disposition of a note by sale,
exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes or otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S.
holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount realized on the
disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as such) and (ii) the U.S.
holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note to
the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign Account
Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued
on or after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to the FATCA withholding rules. Pursuant to recently
proposed regulations, the Treasury Department has indicated its intent to eliminate the requirements under FATCA of withholding
on gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, maturity or other disposition of relevant financial instruments. The Treasury
Department has indicated that taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations pending their finalization.

SU PPLEM EN T AL PLAN OF DI S T RI BU T I ON

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and the underwriters for this offering named below have entered into a distribution
agreement with respect to the notes. Subject to certain conditions, each underwriter named below has severally agreed to
purchase the principal amount of notes indicated in the following table.

Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial price to public set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement. The underwriters intend to purchase the notes from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. at a purchase price
equal to the initial price to public less a discount of 3.34% of the principal amount of the notes. Any notes sold by the
underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial price to public of up to 2.89% of the principal
amount of the notes. If all of the offered notes are not sold at the initial price to public, the underwriters may change the
offering price and the other selling terms. In addition to offers and sales at the initial price to public, the underwriters may offer
the notes from time to time for sale in one or more transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to
market prices or at negotiated prices.

Please note that the information about the initial price to public and net proceeds to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. on
the front cover page relates only to the initial sale of the notes. If you have purchased a note in a market-making transaction
by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or any other affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. after the initial sale, information about
the price and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.

gs-424b2.htm
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it will not offer or sell the notes in the United States or to United
States persons except if such offers or sales are made by or through FINRA member broker-dealers registered with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting
discounts and commissions, whether paid to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or any other underwriter, will be approximately
$10,000.

We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on March 30, 2020. Under Rule 15c6-1 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days,
unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date
prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed
settlement.

The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has been
advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Incapital LLC that they may make a market in the notes. Goldman Sachs & Co.
LLC and Incapital LLC are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. No
assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes.

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future from time to time provide,
investment banking and general financing and banking services to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its affiliates, for which
they have in the past received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its affiliates
have in the past provided, and may in the future from time to time provide, similar services to the underwriters and their
affiliates on customary terms and for customary fees. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of The
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Please see "Plan of Distribution--Conflicts of Interest" on page 118 of the accompanying
prospectus.

Any notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus and
the accompanying prospectus supplement may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the
European Economic Area. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
PS-7


No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise 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. For the purposes of this provision:

the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

not make an offer of notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this pricing supplement, the accompanying
prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement to the public in that Relevant Member State except that, with effect

offer; or
c)
at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of notes referred to above shall require us or any dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3
of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of notes to the public" in relation to any notes in any Relevant
Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the
notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the notes, as the same may be varied in
that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression "Prospectus
Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing
measure in the Relevant Member State.
Any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) in connection
with the issue or sale of the notes may only be communicated or caused to be communicated in circumstances in which Section
21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
All applicable provisions of the FSMA must be complied with in respect to anything done by any person in relation to the
notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
The notes may not be offered or sold in Hong Kong by means of any document other than (i) to "professional investors" as
defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder, or (ii) in
other circumstances which do not result in the document being a "prospectus" as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and
Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or which do not constitute an offer to the public within
the meaning of that Ordinance; and no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the notes may be issued or may be in the
possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere) which is directed at, or the
contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities
laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to the notes which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside
Hong Kong or only to "professional investors" as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance and any rules made thereunder.
