ADDI T I ON AL I N FORM AT I ON ABOU T T H E N OT ES
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 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 18, June 18, September 18 and December 18 on or
after March 18, 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.
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. 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 ST RI BU T I ON
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. expects to agree to sell to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC expects to agree to purchase
from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., the aggregate principal amount of the offered notes specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the initial price to public set forth on the cover page of this pricing
supplement, and to certain securities dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.60% of the face amount. If all of the offered notes are
not sold at the initial price to public, the underwriter and/or dealers may change the offering price and the other selling terms.
In the future, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or other affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. may repurchase and resell the offered notes in market-
making transactions, with resales being made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of resale or at negotiated prices. The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately
$15,000. For more information about the plan of distribution and possible market-making activities, see "Plan of Distribution" in the accompanying
prospectus.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on March 18, 2020.
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:
(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"),
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC has represented and agreed 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,
PS-7

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.
