· T a x Re de m pt ion: We will have the option to redeem the notes before they mature (at par plus accrued interest) if we become

more than 60 days' prior written notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to
be redeemed or (2) as determined by the quotation agent described below, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest to the stated maturity date on the notes to be redeemed, assuming for this purpose that the notes
would mature on January 20, 2024 (rather than the stated maturity date), not including any portion of these payments of interest
accrued as of the date on which the notes are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the notes are to be redeemed on a
semi-annual basis (applying the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention described below), at the treasury rate (as described under

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 January 20, 2024 (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 January 20,
2024 (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,
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
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312519041881/d705990d424b2.htm[2/15/2019 11:19:48 AM]

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:

"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.
Our Relationship With the Trustee
An affiliate of the trustee under our senior debt indenture is acting as an underwriter in this offering. For additional information, see
"Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Our Relationship With the Trustee" in the accompanying prospectus.
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.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 13, 2019
EM PLOY EE RET I REM EN T I N COM E SECU RI T Y ACT

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) (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 "plan assets" under ERISA or assets of certain investment vehicles in which the Plan invests.
Each of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates may 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 by or on behalf of a Plan unless those
notes are acquired and held pursuant to an available exemption. In general, available exemptions are: 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, 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.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for (i) the three month
periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, (ii) the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and (iii) the three
month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of
such information. However, their separate reports dated (i) May 3, 2018, (ii) August 2, 2018 and (iii) November 2, 2018 incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed
consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of
the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of
the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because those reports are not a
"report" or a "part" of the registration statements prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7
and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

The 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
prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial price to public of
up to 0.210% of the principal amount of the notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to
certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial price to public of up to 0.100% of the

S-9
Table of Contents
principal amount of the notes. If all the notes are not sold at the initial price to public, the underwriters may change the initial price to
public and the other selling terms. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to their receipt and acceptance of the notes and
subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part.
The underwriters intend to offer the notes for sale in the United States either directly or through affiliates or other dealers acting as
selling agents. The underwriters may also offer the notes for sale outside the United States either directly or through affiliates or other
dealers acting as selling agents. This prospectus supplement may be used by the underwriters and other dealers in connection with offers
and sales of notes made in the United States, including offers and sales in the United States of notes initially sold outside the United
States. The notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of offers or sales outside the
United States.
The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have been advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC
and Goldman Sachs International that they intend to make a market in the notes. Other affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. may
also do so. Neither Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or Goldman Sachs International nor any other affiliate, however, is obligated to do so and
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.
Please note that the information about the original issue date, original 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 after the initial sale, information about the price and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
The offering will settle on the fourth scheduled business day following the date of the pricing of the notes ("T+4") (see page 117 of
the accompanying prospectus). Under Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under 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 the second business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that
the notes initially will settle T+4, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and
should consult their own advisor.
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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") member broker-dealers, as
permitted by FINRA regulations.
The notes 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

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 13, 2019
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 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 the issuer or any underwriter 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 the notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any
measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, 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.
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:

(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation
or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act

2000 ("FSMA")) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the
FSMA does not apply to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; and

(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it 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 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.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have not been registered as a prospectus with the Monetary
Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any other document or material in
connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of the notes may not be circulated or distributed, nor may the
notes be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in
Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor (as defined in

of the SFA) of that corporation shall not be transferable for six months after that corporation has acquired the notes under Section 275 of
the SFA except: (1) to an institutional investor under Section 274 of the SFA or to a relevant person (as defined in Section 275(2) of the
SFA), (2) where such transfer arises from an offer in that corporation's securities pursuant to Section 275(1A) of the SFA, (3) where no
consideration is or will be given for the transfer, (4) where the transfer is by operation of law, (5) as specified in Section 276(7) of the

The notes are not offered, sold or advertised, directly or indirectly, in, into or from Switzerland on the basis of a public offering and
