annual basis (applying the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention described below), at the treasury rate (as described under "Additional
Information About the Notes -- Make-Whole Redemption" below) plus 45 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest
to but excluding the redemption date.

Addit iona l I nform a t ion About t he N ot e s
Make-Whole Redemption
For purposes of the "make-whole" redemption provision described under "Make-Whole Redemption" above, the "treasury rate" will
be:

·
the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the week immediately prior to the date of calculation, appearing
in the most recently published statistical release appearing on the website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or in another recognized electronic source, in each case as determined by the quotation agent in its sole discretion,
and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, for the maturity most

closely corresponding to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed, assuming for this purpose that the notes would
mature on March 1, 2025 (rather than the stated maturity date), or if no maturity is within three months before or after this
time period, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to this time period will be determined and the
treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or

·
if the release or any successor release is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain
such yields, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue (as

described below), calculated using a price for the comparable treasury issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount, equal to the comparable treasury price (as described below) for the redemption date.
The treasury rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date.
We will initially appoint Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its successor to act as our quotation agent. However, if Goldman Sachs & Co.
LLC ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, we will appoint another primary U.S. Government
securities dealer as our quotation agent.
The "comparable treasury issue," with respect to any redemption date, means the United States Treasury security selected by the
quotation agent as being the most recently issued United States Treasury note or bond as displayed by Bloomberg L.P. (or any successor
service) on screens PX1 through PX8 (or any other screens as may replace such screens on such service) that has a remaining term
comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed, assuming for this purpose that the notes would mature on March 1, 2025
(rather than the stated maturity date).
The "comparable treasury price", with respect to any redemption date, will be (1) the average of five reference treasury dealer
quotations (as described below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such reference treasury dealer
quotations, or (2) if the quotation agent obtains fewer than five such reference treasury dealer quotations, the average of all such
quotations.
The "reference treasury dealer quotations" means, with respect to each reference treasury dealer (as described below) and any
redemption date, the average, as determined by the quotation agent, of the bid and ask prices for the comparable treasury issue,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312520089055/d903629d424b2.htm[3/30/2020 8:41:20 AM]

Prospectus Supplement Dated March 26, 2020
expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the quotation agent by such reference treasury dealer
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
The "reference treasury dealer" will be (1) the quotation agent or (2) any other primary U.S. Government securities dealer selected by
the quotation agent after consultation with us.
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 specified day count convention.

S-5
Table of Contents
The day count convention is 30/360 (ISDA), and 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, as described in Section 4.16(f) of the 2006 ISDA Definitions
published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, without regard to any subsequent amendments or supplements:

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.
Book-Entry System
We will issue the notes as global notes 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 global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system. See
"Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance" in the accompanying prospectus for additional information about indirect ownership of
interests in the notes.
U nit e d St a t e s Fe de ra l I nc om e T a x Conse que nc e s
Please refer to the discussion under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the notes.
As described under "United States Taxation -- Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying
prospectus, payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of debt securities could be subject to FATCA withholding if
such disposition occurs on or after January 1, 2019. However, the U.S. Treasury Department recently released proposed regulations
that, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate the FATCA withholding tax of 30% that otherwise would be applicable to gross
proceeds from sales or other dispositions of the notes. In its preamble to such proposed regulations, the U.S. Treasury Department has
stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.

This section is only relevant to you if you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan
(including a governmental plan, an IRA or a Keogh Plan) proposing to invest in the notes.
The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), prohibit certain transactions ("prohibited transactions") involving the assets of an employee benefit plan that is
subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (including individual retirement accounts, Keogh
plans and other plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) (each, a "Plan") and certain persons who are "parties in interest"
(within the meaning of ERISA) or "disqualified persons" (within the meaning of the Code) with respect to the Plan; governmental plans may
be subject to similar prohibitions unless an exemption applies to the transaction. The assets of a Plan may include assets held in the
general account of an insurance company that are deemed to be "plan assets" under ERISA or assets of certain investment vehicles in
which the Plan invests. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates may each be considered a "party in interest" or a
"disqualified person" with respect to many Plans, and, accordingly, prohibited transactions may arise if the notes are acquired or held by or
on behalf of a Plan unless those notes are acquired and held pursuant to an available exemption. In general, available exemptions include:
transactions effected on behalf of that Plan by a "qualified professional asset manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 84-14) or an "in-
house asset manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 96-23), transactions involving insurance company general accounts (prohibited
transaction exemption 95-60), transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 90-
1), transactions involving bank collective investment funds (prohibited transaction exemption 91-38) and transactions with service providers
under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code where the Plan receives no less and pays no more than
"adequate consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code). The person making the
decision on behalf of a Plan or a governmental plan shall be deemed, on behalf of itself and the plan, by purchasing and holding the
notes, or exercising any rights related thereto, to represent that (a) the plan will receive no less and pay no more than "adequate
consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code) in connection with the purchase
and holding of the notes, (b) none of the purchase, holding or disposition of the notes or the exercise of any rights related to the notes will
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (or, with respect to a governmental plan, under any similar
applicable law or regulation), and (c) neither The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates is a "fiduciary" within the meaning of
Section 3(21) of ERISA or any regulations thereunder (or, with respect to a governmental plan, under any similar applicable law or
regulation) with respect to the purchaser or holder in connection with such person's acquisition, disposition or holding of the notes, or as a
result of any exercise by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates of any rights in connection with the notes, and neither The
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates has provided investment advice in connection with such person's acquisition, disposition
or holding of the notes.

If you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan (including a governmental plan, an
IRA or a Keogh plan) and propose to invest in the notes described in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, you
should consult your legal counsel.

any of them may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or the trading market
for the notes.

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 after the initial sale, information about the price and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
