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
indirectly, in the DTC system.

In addition to this pricing supplement, the following provisions are hereby incorporated into the global master note: the
description of New York business day appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations of
Interest on Debt Securities Business Days" in the accompanying prospectus, the description of the following unadjusted
business day convention appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations of Interest on Debt
Securities Business Day Conventions" in the accompanying prospectus and the section "Description of Debt Securities
We May Offer Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" in the accompanying prospectus.
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
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000156459019027128/gs-424b2.htm[7/31/2019 12:28:37 PM]

gs-424b2.htm
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 January 31, April 30, July 31
and October 31 on or after July 31, 2020, 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 January 31, 2021 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 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 January 31, 2021. 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 January 31, 2022, January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2024. If
the notes are not called on the interest payment date occurring on January 31, 2024, then, because the period between the
interest payment date on January 31, 2024 and the stated maturity date of the notes is one year or less, the notes, upon their
deemed reissuance on January 31, 2024, 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
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000156459019027128/gs-424b2.htm[7/31/2019 12:28:37 PM]

gs-424b2.htm
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.

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) 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:

a)
the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following:
PS-7

(i)
a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or

(ii)
a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, the "Insurance Mediation
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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive"); and

b)
the expression an "offer" includes 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.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State"), the underwriters represent and agree that with effect from and including the date on which the
Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date") it has not made and will
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
from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, an offer of such notes may be made to the public in that Relevant Member
State:
a)
at any time to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

b)
at any time to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus
Directive), subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant dealer or dealers nominated by the issuer for any such
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.
