Callable Contingent Coupon ETF-Linked Notes due

guaranteed by

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

The notes do not pay a fixed coupon and may pay no coupon on a payment date. The amount that you will be paid on your notes is based on the performances of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF (each, an ETF). The notes will mature on September 18, 2028, unless we redeem them.

We may redeem your notes at 100% of their face amount plus any coupon then due on any payment date (expected to be the 18th day of each month, commencing in October 2025 and ending on the stated maturity date) on or after the payment date in December 2025 up to the payment date in August 2028.

If we do not redeem your notes, if the closing level of each ETF is greater than or equal to 50% of its initial level (set on the trade date (expected to be September 15, 2025) and will be an intra-day level or the closing level of such ETF on the trade date) on an observation date (expected to be the tenth scheduled trading day for all ETFs prior to each payment date), you will receive on the applicable payment date a coupon of $17.625 (1.7625% monthly, or the potential for up to 21.15% per annum) for each $1,000 face amount of your notes. If the closing level of any ETF on an observation date is less than 50% of its initial level, you will not receive a coupon on the applicable payment date.

If we do not redeem your notes, the amount that you will be paid on your notes at maturity, in addition to the final coupon, if any, is based on the performance of the lesser performing ETF (the ETF with the lowest ETF return). The ETF return for each ETF is the percentage increase or decrease in the final level of such ETF on the determination date (the final observation date, expected to be September 1, 2028) from its initial level.

At maturity, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes you will receive an amount in cash equal to:

Investors should be knowledgeable about the risks associated with cryptocurrencies and digital assets because the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of ether, and therefore the notes involve significant risks in investments tracking cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and ether have historically exhibited high price volatility relative to more traditional asset classes and have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so.

By purchasing the notes, you are deemed to represent to Goldman Sachs that you are not subject to the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction prohibiting the purchase or ownership of notes of this type.

You should read the disclosure herein to better understand the terms and risks of your investment, including the credit risk of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. See page PS-14.

The estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date is expected to be between $925 and $955 per $1,000 face amount. For a discussion of the estimated value and the price at which Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC would initially buy or sell your notes, if it makes a market in the notes, see the following page.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC

Pricing Supplement No. dated , 2025.

The issue price, underwriting discount and net proceeds listed above relate to the notes we sell initially. We may decide to sell additional notes after the date of this pricing supplement, at issue prices and with underwriting discounts and net proceeds that differ from the amounts set forth above. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such notes.

GS Finance Corp. may use this prospectus in the initial sale of the notes. In addition, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, or any other affiliate of GS Finance Corp. may use this prospectus in a market-making transaction in a note after its initial sale. Unless GS Finance Corp. or its agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this prospectus is being used in a market-making transaction.

Estimated Value of Your Notes

The estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models used by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (GS&Co.) and taking into account our credit spreads) is expected to be between $925 and $955 per $1,000 face amount, which is less than the original issue price. The value of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted; however, the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell notes (if it makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise is equal to approximately the estimated value of your notes at the time of pricing, plus an additional amount (initially equal to $ per $1,000 face amount).

Prior to , the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would buy or sell your notes (if it makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) will equal approximately the sum of (a) the then-current estimated value of your notes (as determined by reference to GS&Co.'s pricing models) plus (b) any remaining additional amount (the additional amount will decline to zero on a straight-line basis from the time of pricing through ). On and after , the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would buy or sell your notes (if it makes a market) will equal approximately the then-current estimated value of your notes determined by reference to such pricing models.

Company (Issuer): GS Finance Corp.

Guarantor: The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Underliers (each individually, an underlier): the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF (current Bloomberg symbol: "IBIT UQ Equity"), or any successor underlier, and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF (current Bloomberg symbol: "ETHA UQ Equity"), or any successor underlier, as each may be modified, replaced or adjusted from time to time as provided herein

Face amount: $ in the aggregate on the original issue date; the aggregate face amount may be increased if the company, at its sole option, decides to sell an additional amount on a date subsequent to the trade date

Authorized denominations: $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof

Principal amount: Subject to redemption by the company as provided under "- Company's redemption right " below, on the stated maturity date, in addition to the final coupon, if any, the company will pay, for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount, an amount, if any, in cash equal to the cash settlement amount.

Cash settlement amount:

Company's redemption right: the company may redeem this note, at its option, in whole but not in part, on each coupon payment date commencing in December 2025 and ending in August 2028, for an amount in cash for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount on the redemption date equal to 100% of such $1,000 face amount plus any coupon then due.

If the company chooses to exercise the company's redemption right, it will notify the holder of this note and the trustee by giving at least ten business days' prior notice. The day the company gives the notice, which will be a business day, will be the redemption notice date and the immediately following coupon payment date, which the company will state in the redemption notice, will be the redemption date.

The company will not give a redemption notice that results in a redemption date later than the August 2028 coupon payment date. A redemption notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.

Initial underlier level (set on the trade date): with respect to an underlier, an intra-day level or the closing level of such underlier on the trade date

Final underlier level: with respect to an underlier, the closing level of such underlier on the determination date, subject to adjustment as provided in "- Consequences of a market disruption event or a non-trading day" and "- Discontinuance or modification of an underlier" below

Underlier return: with respect to an underlier, the quotient of (i) its final underlier level minus its initial underlier level divided by (ii) its initial underlier level, expressed as a percentage

Lesser performing underlier return: the underlier return of the lesser performing underlier

Lesser performing underlier: the underlier with the lowest underlier return

Trigger buffer level: for each underlier, 40% of its initial underlier level

Coupon: subject to the company's redemption right, on each coupon payment date, for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount, the company will pay an amount in cash equal to:

PS-3

Coupon trigger level: for each underlier, 50% of its initial underlier level

Trade date: expected to be September 15, 2025

Original issue date (set on the trade date): expected to be September 18, 2025

Determination date (set on the trade date): the last coupon observation date, expected to be September 1, 2028, subject to adjustment as described under "- Coupon observation dates" below. If the stated maturity date is postponed due to a non-business day as described under "- Stated maturity date" below, such postponement of the stated maturity date will not postpone the determination date.

Stated maturity date (set on the trade date): expected to be September 18, 2028, unless that day is not a business day, in which case the stated maturity date will be postponed to the next following business day. If the determination date is postponed as described under "- Determination date" above, such postponement of the determination date will not postpone the stated maturity date.

Coupon observation dates (set on the trade date): expected to be the tenth scheduled trading day for all underliers prior to each coupon payment date, unless the calculation agent determines that, with respect to any underlier, a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on that day or that day is not otherwise a trading day. If a coupon payment date is postponed due to a non-business day as described under "- Coupon payment dates" below, such postponement of the coupon payment date will not postpone the related coupon observation date.

In the event the originally scheduled coupon observation date is a non-trading day with respect to any underlier, the coupon observation date will be the first day thereafter that is a trading day for all underliers (the "first qualified coupon trading day") provided that no market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to an underlier on that day. If a market disruption event with respect to an underlier occurs or is continuing on the originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day, the coupon observation date will be the first following trading day on which the calculation agent determines that each underlier has had at least one trading day (from and including the originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day, as applicable) on which no market disruption event has occurred or is continuing and the closing level of each underlier for that coupon observation date will be determined on or prior to the postponed coupon observation date as set forth under "- Consequences of a market disruption event or a non-trading day" below. (In such case, the coupon observation date may differ from the date on which the level of an underlier is determined for the purpose of the calculations to be performed on the coupon observation date.) In no event, however, will the coupon observation date be postponed by more than three scheduled trading days for all underliers from the originally scheduled coupon observation date either due to the occurrence of serial non-trading days or due to the occurrence of one or more market disruption events. (For the avoidance of doubt, a day that is a scheduled trading day for only one underlier will not count as one of the three scheduled trading days for this purpose.) On such last possible coupon observation date applicable to the relevant coupon payment date, if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to an underlier that has not yet had such a trading day on which no market disruption event has occurred or is continuing or if such last possible day is not a trading day with respect to such underlier, that day will nevertheless be the coupon observation date.

Coupon payment dates (set on the trade date): expected to be the 18th day of each month, commencing in October 2025 and ending on the stated maturity date, unless, for any such coupon payment date, that day is not a business day, in which case such coupon payment date will be postponed to the next following business day. If a coupon observation date is postponed as described under "- Coupon observation dates" above, such postponement of the coupon observation date will not postpone the related coupon payment date.

Closing level: on any trading day, with respect to an underlier, the closing sale price or last reported sale price, regular way, for such underlier, on a per-share or other unit basis:

PS-4

If an underlier is not listed or traded as described above, then the closing level for such underlier on any day will be the average, as determined by the calculation agent, of the bid prices for such underlier obtained from as many dealers in such underlier selected by the calculation agent as will make those bid prices available to the calculation agent. The number of dealers need not exceed three and may include the calculation agent or any of its or the company's affiliates.

The closing level of an underlier is subject to adjustment as described under "- Anti-dilution adjustments" below.

Trading day: with respect to an underlier, a day on which (i) the exchange on which such underlier has its primary listing is open for trading and (ii) the price of one share of such underlier is quoted by the exchange on which such underlier has its primary listing. A day is a scheduled trading day with respect to an underlier if, as of the trade date, (i) the exchange on which such underlier has its primary listing is scheduled to be open for trading and (ii) the price of one share of such underlier is expected to be quoted by the exchange on which such underlier has its primary listing.

Successor underlier: with respect to an underlier, any substitute underlier approved by the calculation agent as a successor as provided under "- Discontinuance or modification of an underlier" below

Underlier investment advisor: with respect to an underlier, at any time, the person or entity, including any successor investment advisor or trustee, as applicable, that serves as an investment advisor or trustee to such underlier as then in effect

Market disruption event: With respect to any given trading day, any of the following will be a market disruption event with respect to an underlier:

and, in the case of any of these events, the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that the event could materially interfere with the ability of the company or any of its affiliates or a similarly situated person to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge that could be effected with respect to this note.

The following events will not be market disruption events:

For this purpose, an "absence of trading" in the primary securities market on which shares of such underlier are traded, or on which option or futures contracts, if available, relating to such underlier are traded, will not include any time when that market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. In contrast, a suspension or limitation of trading in shares of such underlier or in option or futures contracts, if available, relating to such underlier in the primary market for such underlier or those contracts, by reason of:

PS-5

will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading in shares of such underlier or those contracts in that market.

A market disruption event with respect to one underlier will not, by itself, constitute a market disruption event for any unaffected underlier.

Consequences of a market disruption event or a non-trading day: With respect to any underlier, if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on a day that would otherwise be a coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date), or such day is not a trading day, then such coupon observation date will be postponed as described under "- Coupon observation dates" above. If any coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date) is postponed to the last possible date due to the occurrence of serial non-trading days, the level of each underlier will be the calculation agent's assessment of such level, in its sole discretion, on such last possible postponed coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date). If any coupon observation date (and the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date) is postponed due to a market disruption event with respect to any underlier, the closing level of each underlier with respect to such coupon observation date (and the final underlier level with respect to the determination date) will be calculated based on (i) for any underlier that is not affected by a market disruption event on the applicable originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day thereafter (if applicable), the closing level of the underlier on that date, (ii) for any underlier that is affected by a market disruption event on the applicable originally scheduled coupon observation date or the first qualified coupon trading day thereafter (if applicable), the closing level of the underlier on the first following trading day on which no market disruption event exists for such underlier and (iii) the calculation agent's assessment, in its sole discretion, of the level of any underlier on the last possible postponed coupon observation date with respect to such underlier as to which a market disruption event continues through the last possible postponed coupon observation date. As a result, this could result in the closing level on any coupon observation date (or final underlier level on the determination date) of each underlier being determined on different calendar dates. For the avoidance of doubt, once the closing level for an underlier is determined for a coupon observation date (or the determination date in the case of the last coupon observation date), the occurrence of a later market disruption event or non-trading day will not alter such calculation.

Discontinuance or modification of an underlier: If an underlier is delisted from the exchange on which the underlier has its primary listing and its underlier investment advisor or anyone else publishes a substitute underlier that the calculation agent determines is comparable to such underlier and approves as a successor underlier, or if the calculation agent designates a substitute underlier, then the calculation agent will determine the coupon payable, if any, on the relevant coupon payment date or the cash settlement amount on the stated maturity date, as applicable, by reference to such successor underlier.

If the calculation agent determines that an underlier is delisted or withdrawn from the exchange on which the underlier has its primary listing and there is no successor underlier, the calculation agent will determine the coupon or the cash settlement amount, as applicable, on the related coupon payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable, by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate such underlier, unless the actions described in the following two sentences are taken. If the calculation agent determines that an underlier is delisted or withdrawn from the exchange on which the underlier has its primary listing and there is no successor underlier, the company may, at its option, accelerate the payment on the notes. If the company chooses to exercise this right, (i) it will deliver an acceleration notice to the holder of this note and the trustee at least five business days prior to the date of acceleration, (ii) on the date on which the company delivers the acceleration notice, the calculation agent will determine the amount due and payable per note upon early acceleration in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and (iii) that amount will be payable on the date specified in the acceleration notice, unless such date is not a business day, in which case the amount will be payable on the following business day, and the maturity date will be accelerated to such day.

If the calculation agent determines that an underlier or the method of calculating such underlier is changed at any time in any respect - including any split or reverse split of the underlier, a material change in the investment objective of the underlier and any addition, deletion or substitution and any

PS-6

reweighting or rebalancing of such underlier and whether the change is made by the underlier investment advisor under its existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a successor underlier or is due to any other reason - then the calculation agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments in such underlier or the method of its calculation as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the levels of such underlier used to determine the coupon or cash settlement amount, as applicable, on the related coupon payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable, is equitable.

All determinations and adjustments to be made by the calculation agent with respect to an underlier may be made by the calculation agent in its sole discretion. The calculation agent is not obligated to make any such adjustments.

Regular record dates: the scheduled business day immediately preceding the day on which payment is to be made (as such payment date may be adjusted)

Anti-dilution adjustments: the calculation agent will have discretion to adjust the closing level of an underlier if certain events occur (including those described above under "- Discontinuance or modification of an underlier"). In the event that any event other than a delisting or withdrawal from the relevant exchange occurs, the calculation agent shall determine whether and to what extent an adjustment should be made to the level of such underlier or any other term. The calculation agent shall have no obligation to make an adjustment for any such event.

Calculation agent: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("GS&Co.")

Overdue principal rate and overdue coupon rate: the effective Federal Funds rate

PS-7

The following examples are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate (i) the impact that various hypothetical closing levels of the underliers on a coupon observation date could have on the coupon payable, if any, on the related coupon payment date and (ii) the impact that various hypothetical closing levels of the lesser performing underlier on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of underlier levels that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the closing level of any underlier will be on any day throughout the life of your notes, what the closing level of any underlier will be on any coupon observation date and what the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier will be on the determination date. The underliers have been highly volatile in the past - meaning that the underlier levels have changed substantially in relatively short periods - and their performance cannot be predicted for any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption, as the case may be, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the examples below such as interest rates, the volatility of the underliers, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, and the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor. In addition, the estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models used by GS&Co.) is less than the original issue price of your notes. For more information on the estimated value of your notes, see "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes - The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the Terms of Your Notes Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Notes" on page PS-14 of this pricing supplement. The information in the examples also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

Moreover, we have not yet set the initial underlier levels that will serve as the baseline for determining the coupon payable on each coupon payment date, if any, if the notes will be redeemed, the underlier returns and the amount that we will pay on your notes, if any, at maturity. We will not do so until the trade date. As a result, the actual initial underlier levels may differ substantially from the underlier levels prior to the trade date. They may also differ substantially from the underlier levels at the time you purchase your notes.

For these reasons, the actual performance of the underliers over the life of your notes, the actual underlier levels on any coupon observation date, as well as the coupon payable, if any, on each coupon payment date, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlier levels shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information about the underlier levels during recent periods, see "The Underliers - Historical Closing Levels of the Underliers" on page PS-24.

PS-8

Before investing in the notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the underlier levels between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the notes.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underliers.

PS-9

Hypothetical Coupon Payments

The examples below show hypothetical performances of each underlier as well as the hypothetical coupons, if any, that we would pay on each coupon payment date with respect to each $1,000 face amount of the notes if the hypothetical closing level of each underlier on the applicable coupon observation date was the percentage of its initial underlier level shown.

Scenario 1

In Scenario 1, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier increases and decreases by varying amounts on each hypothetical coupon observation date. Because the hypothetical closing level of each underlier on the seventh and tenth hypothetical coupon observation dates is greater than or equal to its coupon trigger level, the total of the hypothetical coupons in Scenario 1 is $35.25. Because the hypothetical closing level of at least one underlier on all other hypothetical coupon observation dates is less than its coupon trigger level, no further coupons will be paid, including at maturity.

Scenario 2

In Scenario 2, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier increases and decreases by varying amounts on each hypothetical coupon observation date. Because in each case the hypothetical closing level of at least one underlier on the related coupon observation date is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not receive a coupon payment on the applicable hypothetical coupon payment date. Since this occurs on every hypothetical coupon observation date, the overall return you earn on your notes will be less than zero. Therefore, the total of the hypothetical coupons in Scenario 2 is $0.

PS-10

Scenario 3

In Scenario 3, the hypothetical closing level of each underlier is less than its coupon trigger level on the first two hypothetical coupon observation dates, but increases to a level that is greater than its initial underlier level on the third hypothetical coupon observation date. Further, we also exercise our early redemption right with respect to a redemption on the third coupon payment date (which is also the first hypothetical date with respect to which we could exercise such right). Therefore, on the third coupon payment date (the redemption date), in addition to the hypothetical coupon of $17.625, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes.

PS-11

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity

If the notes are not redeemed, the cash settlement amount we would deliver for each $1,000 face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date will depend on the performance of the lesser performing underlier on the determination date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that the notes have not been redeemed, does not include the final coupon, if any, and reflects hypothetical cash settlement amounts that you could receive on the stated maturity date. If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier (as a percentage of the initial underlier level) is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not be paid a final coupon at maturity.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels of the lesser performing underlier and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level of the lesser performing underlier. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier, and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier and the assumptions noted above.

If, for example, the notes have not been redeemed and the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier were determined to be 25.000% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 25.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 75.000% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). In addition, if the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier were determined to be 175.000% of its initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be limited to 100.000% of each $1,000 face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier over its initial underlier level.

The cash settlement amounts shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on market prices for the underliers that may not be achieved on the determination date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown

PS-12

above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in the offered notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held to the stated maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples. Please read "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes - The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced By Many Unpredictable Factors" on page PS-16.

Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For example, payments on the notes are economically equivalent to a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought by the holder and one or more options entered into between the holder and us (with one or more implicit option premiums paid over time). The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes, as described elsewhere in this pricing supplement.

We cannot predict the actual closing levels of the underliers on any day, the final underlier levels of the underliers or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the closing levels of the underliers and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual coupon payment, if any, that a holder of the notes will receive on each coupon payment date, the actual amount that you will receive at maturity, if any, and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on whether or not the notes are redeemed and the actual initial underlier levels, which we will set on the trade date, and on the actual closing levels of the underliers on the coupon observation dates and the actual final underlier levels determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical examples are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the coupon to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, and the cash amount to be paid in respect of your notes on the stated maturity date, if any, may be very different from the information reflected in the examples above.

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks and considerations described in the accompanying prospectus, in the accompanying prospectus supplement and under "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes" in the accompanying general terms supplement no. 17,741. You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying general terms supplement no. 17,741. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are appropriate given your particular circumstances.

Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales

The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the Terms of Your Notes Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Notes

The original issue price for your notes exceeds the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, as determined by reference to GS&Co.'s pricing models and taking into account our credit spreads. Such estimated value on the trade date is set forth above under "Estimated Value of Your Notes"; after the trade date, the estimated value as determined by reference to these models will be affected by changes in market conditions, the creditworthiness of GS Finance Corp., as issuer, the creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor, and other relevant factors. The price at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell your notes (if GS&Co. makes a market, which it is not obligated to do), and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account statements and otherwise, also exceeds the estimated value of your notes as determined by reference to these models. As agreed by GS&Co. and the distribution participants, this excess (i.e., the additional amount described under "Estimated Value of Your Notes") will decline to zero on a straight line basis over the period from the date hereof through the applicable date set forth above under "Estimated Value of Your Notes". Thereafter, if GS&Co. buys or sells your notes it will do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to such pricing models at that time. The price at which GS&Co. will buy or sell your notes at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

In estimating the value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date, as disclosed above under "Estimated Value of Your Notes", GS&Co.'s pricing models consider certain variables, including principally our credit spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to maturity of the notes. These pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of your notes determined by reference to our models due to, among other things, any differences in pricing models or assumptions used by others. See "- The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced By Many Unpredictable Factors" below.

The difference between the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes are set on the trade date and the original issue price is a result of certain factors, including principally the underwriting discount and commissions, the expenses incurred in creating, documenting and marketing the notes, and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to GS&Co. and the amounts GS&Co. pays to us in connection with your notes. We pay to GS&Co. amounts based on what we would pay to holders of a non-structured note with a similar maturity. In return for such payment, GS&Co. pays to us the amounts we owe under your notes.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by GS&Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness or the creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. These changes may adversely affect the value of your notes, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that GS&Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price will reflect the estimated value determined by reference to GS&Co.'s pricing models at that time, plus or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes (and subject to the declining excess amount described above).

PS-14

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount. This commission or discount will further reduce the proceeds you would receive for your notes in a secondary market sale.

There is no assurance that GS&Co. or any other party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price and, in this regard, GS&Co. is not obligated to make a market in the notes. See "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes - Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market" on page S-7 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 17,741.

The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor

Although the coupons (if any) and return on the notes will be based on the performance of each underlier, the payment of any amount due on the notes is subject to the credit risk of GS Finance Corp., as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes. The notes are our unsecured obligations. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Similarly, investors are dependent on the ability of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as guarantor of the notes, to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore are also subject to its credit risk and to changes in the market's view of its creditworthiness. See "Description of the Notes We May Offer - Information About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series F Program - How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt" on page S-5 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer - Guarantee by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc." on page 65 of the accompanying prospectus.

You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Notes

You can lose your entire investment in the notes. Subject to our redemption right, the cash settlement amount on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the lesser performing of the underliers as measured from their initial underlier levels to their closing levels on the determination date. If the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier for your notes is less than its trigger buffer level, you will have a loss for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes equal to the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the lesser performing underlier return. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.

Also, the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.

The Return on Your Notes May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Level of the Lesser Performing Underlier

If your notes are not redeemed and the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier is less than its trigger buffer level, you will receive less than the face amount of your notes and you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the notes. This means that while a decrease in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier to its trigger buffer level will not result in a loss of principal on the notes, a decrease in the final underlier level of the lesser performing underlier to less than its trigger buffer level will result in a loss of a significant portion of the face amount of the notes despite only a small change in the level of the lesser performing underlier.

You May Not Receive a Coupon on Any Coupon Payment Date

If the closing level of any underlier on the related coupon observation date is less than its coupon trigger level, you will not receive a coupon payment on the applicable coupon payment date. If this occurs on every coupon observation date, the overall return you earn on your notes will be zero or less and such return will be less than you would have earned by investing in a note that bears interest at the prevailing market rate.

You will only receive a coupon on a coupon payment date if the closing level of each underlier on the related coupon observation date is greater than or equal to its coupon trigger level. You should be aware that, with respect to any prior coupon observation dates that did not result in the payment of a coupon, you will not be compensated for any opportunity cost implied by inflation and other factors relating to the time value of money. Further, there is no guarantee that you will receive any coupon payment with respect to the notes at any time and you may lose your entire investment in the notes.

PS-15

We Are Able to Redeem Your Notes at Our Option

On each coupon payment date commencing in December 2025 and ending in August 2028, we will be permitted to redeem your notes at our option. Even if we do not exercise our option to redeem your notes, our ability to do so may adversely affect the value of your notes. It is our sole option whether to redeem your notes prior to maturity and we may or may not exercise this option for any reason. Because of this redemption option, the term of your notes could be reduced.

The Coupon Does Not Reflect the Actual Performance of the Underliers from the Trade Date to Any Coupon Observation Date or From Coupon Observation Date to Coupon Observation Date

The coupon for each monthly coupon payment date is different from, and may be less than, a coupon determined based on the percentage difference of the closing levels of the underliers between the trade date and any coupon observation date or between two coupon observation dates. Accordingly, the coupons, if any, on the notes may be less than the return you could earn on another instrument linked to the underliers that pays coupons based on the performance of the underliers from the trade date to any coupon observation date or from coupon observation date to coupon observation date.

The Cash Settlement Amount Will Be Based Solely on the Lesser Performing Underlier

If the notes are not redeemed by us, the cash settlement amount will be based on the lesser performing underlier without regard to the performance of the other underlier. As a result, you could lose all or some of your initial investment if the lesser performing underlier return is negative, even if there is an increase in the level of the other underlier. This could be the case even if the other underlier increased by an amount greater than the decrease in the lesser performing underlier.

The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced By Many Unpredictable Factors

When we refer to the market value of your notes, we mean the value that you could receive for your notes if you chose to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of your notes, including:

Without limiting the foregoing, the market value of your notes may be negatively impacted by increasing interest rates. Such adverse impact of increasing interest rates could be significantly enhanced in notes with longer-dated maturities, the market values of which are generally more sensitive to increasing interest rates.

These factors may influence the market value of your notes if you sell your notes before maturity, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. If you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes. You cannot predict the future performance of the underliers based on their historical performance.

If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected

The cash settlement amount you will be paid for your notes on the stated maturity date, if any, or the amount we will pay you upon any early redemption of your notes will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the face amount of the notes, then the return on your investment in such notes held to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption will differ from, and may be

PS-16

substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at face amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date or date of early redemption, the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount or a discount to face amount.

We May Accelerate Your Notes at Our Option If an Underlier Is Delisted or Withdrawn and There Is No Successor Underlier

If the calculation agent determines that an underlier is delisted or withdrawn from the exchange on which the underlier has its primary listing and there is no successor underlier, we will be permitted to accelerate the payment on your notes at our option and pay you an amount determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If we accelerate the payment on your notes at our option, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money at a comparable return for a similar level of risk. For more information, see "Terms and Conditions - Discontinuance or modification of an underlier" on page PS-6 of this pricing supplement.

The Return on Your Notes Will Not Reflect Any Dividends Paid on the Underliers

The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares of the underliers and received the distributions paid on the shares of such underliers. You will not receive any dividends that may be paid on the shares of the underliers. See "- You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Underliers" below for additional information.

You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Underliers

Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any shares of the underliers. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of your notes will have any rights with respect to the underliers, including any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights to make a claim against the underliers or any other rights of a holder of any shares of the underliers. Your notes will be paid in cash, as will any coupon payments, and you will have no right to receive delivery of any shares of the underliers.

We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Face Amount of the Notes at a Different Issue Price

At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or lower) from the issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement.

Additional Risks Related to the Underliers

The Policies of the Underlier Investment Advisor For Any Underlier Could Affect the Amount Payable on Your Notes and Their Market Value

The underlier investment advisor of any underlier may be called upon to make certain policy decisions or judgments concerning the valuation of the assets held by such underlier, the calculation of the net asset value and net asset value per share, and additions, deletions or substitutions of assets in an underlier. Such determinations could affect the market price of the shares of that underlier, and therefore, the amount payable on your notes on a coupon payment date or the stated maturity date. The amount payable on your notes and their market value could also be affected if the underlier investment advisor changes these policies, for example, by changing or discontinuing the manner in which it evaluates the assets held by an underlier and the manner in which it calculates the net asset value of an underlier, in which case it may become difficult or inappropriate to determine the market value of your notes.

If events such as these occur, the calculation agent - which initially will be GS&Co., our affiliate - may determine the closing level of the underliers - and thus the amount payable on a coupon payment date or the stated maturity date, if any - in a manner it considers appropriate, in its sole discretion. We describe the discretion that the calculation agent will have in determining the closing level of the underliers and the amount payable on your notes more fully under "Terms and Conditions- Discontinuance or modification of an underlier" on page PS-5 of this pricing supplement.

PS-17

Except to the Extent GS&Co. and One or More of Our Other Affiliates Act as Authorized Participants in the Distribution of, and, at Any Time, May Hold, Shares of, the Underliers, There Is No Affiliation Between the Underlier Investment Advisors and Us

GS&Co. and one or more of our other affiliates may act, from time to time, as authorized participants in the distribution of shares of the underliers, and, at any time, may hold shares of the underliers. Goldman Sachs is not otherwise affiliated with the underlier investment advisors. Neither we nor any of our affiliates have participated in the preparation of any publicly available information or made any "due diligence" investigation or inquiry with respect to the underliers. You, as an investor in the notes, should make your own investigation into the underliers.

The underlier investment advisors are not involved in the offering of the notes in any way and do not have any obligation of any sort with respect to the notes. The underlier investment advisors do not have any obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the notes.

There Is No Assurance That an Active Trading Market Will Continue For the Underliers or That There Will Be Liquidity in Any Such Trading Market; Further, the Underliers Are Subject to Custody Risks

Although the shares of the underliers and a number of similar products have been listed for trading on securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of any underlier or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

The purpose of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF is to own bitcoin purchased by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF in exchange for shares issued by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF. The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF is not actively managed and may be affected by a decline in the price of bitcoin. Similarly, the purpose of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF is to own ether purchased by the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF in exchange for shares issued by the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF. The iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF is not actively managed and may be affected by a decline in the price of ether.

In addition, the underliers are subject to custody risk, which refers to the risks in safekeeping the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF's bitcoin and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF's ether.

Investing in Notes Linked to Underliers Is Not the Same as Investing Directly in Bitcoin or Ether

The performance of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF may not fully replicate the performance of the price of bitcoin and the performance of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF may not fully replicate the performance of the price of ether, in each case, due to the fees and expenses charged by such underlier or by restrictions on access to bitcoin or ether, as applicable, or due to other circumstances. The underliers do not generate any income and as the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF regularly sells bitcoin and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF regularly sells ether to pay for its ongoing expenses, the amount of bitcoin and ether, as applicable, represented by each share of the underliers has gradually declined over time. The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF sells bitcoin and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF sells ether to pay expenses on an ongoing basis irrespective of whether the trading price of the shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of bitcoin or ether, as applicable. The sale of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF's bitcoin and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF's ether to pay expenses at a time of low bitcoin or ether prices, as applicable, could adversely affect the value of the underliers and, therefore, the value of your notes. Additionally, there is a risk that part or all of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF's bitcoin or the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF's ether could be lost or stolen due to theft, which could adversely affect the value of your notes.

Legal and Regulatory Changes Could Adversely Affect the Return on and Value of Your Notes

The value and liquidity of digital asset markets generally, and bitcoin and ether specifically, may be influenced by new laws, regulations, policies and guidance which may vary significantly among international, U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions. The regulatory environment for digital assets is constantly evolving, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the underliers, the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF's ability to invest in bitcoin or the value of bitcoin and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF's ability to invest in ether or the value of ether. Regulation of digital assets may also vary significantly among international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions and is subject to a level of uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations or guidance, or take other actions, which may severely impact the use of digital assets generally and the technology behind them or the means of transacting in or transferring

PS-18

them. Failure by an underlier to comply with any current or future laws, rules and regulations, some of which may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences.

Even Though Cryptocurrencies Trade Around-The-Clock, Your Notes Will Not

Your notes are linked, in part, to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF that holds bitcoin and, in part, to the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF that holds ether. The interbank market in cryptocurrencies is a global, around-the-clock market. Therefore, the hours of trading for your notes, if any trading market develops, will not conform to the hours during which bitcoin or ether trade. Significant price and rate movements may take place in the underlying cryptocurrency exchange markets that will not be reflected immediately in the price of your notes. The possibility of these movements should be taken into account in relating the value of your notes to those in the underlying cryptocurrency exchange markets. There is no systematic reporting of last-sale information for cryptocurrencies. Reasonably current bid and offer information is available in certain brokers' offices, in bank cryptocurrency trading offices and to others who wish to subscribe for this information, but this information will not necessarily be reflected in the value of the underliers used to calculate the amount payable on your notes. There is no regulatory requirement that those quotations be firm or revised on a timely basis. The absence of last-sale information and the limited availability of quotations to individual investors may make it difficult for many investors to obtain timely, accurate data about the state of the underlying cryptocurrency exchange markets.

Additional Risks Related to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF

The Value of the Shares of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF Relates Directly to the Value of the Bitcoin Held by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and Fluctuations in the Price of Bitcoin Could Materially Adversely Affect an Investment in the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF's Shares

The shares of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF are designed to generally reflect the performance of the price of bitcoin - a digital asset - and the value of the shares relates directly to the value of the bitcoin held by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, less the trust's expenses and liabilities. The price of bitcoin has experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. A wide variety of complex and difficult to predict factors may affect the value of the shares of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, including, but not limited to:

PS-19

PS-20

The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF Has a Limited Operating History

The notes are linked, in part, to the performance of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, which commenced trading on January 11, 2024. Because the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF has no underlier level history prior to that date, limited historical underlier level information will be available for you to consider in making an independent investigation of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF performance, which may make it difficult for you to make an informed decision with respect to the notes.

The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF Is a Concentrated Investment in a Single Commodity and Does Not Provide Diversified Exposure

The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF is concentrated in a single commodity. As a result, the performance of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF will be concentrated in the performance of that specific commodity. Although your investment in the notes will not result in the ownership or other direct interest in the commodity held (directly or indirectly) by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, the return on your investment in the notes will be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investment in that commodity. This increases the risk that any market events that create a decrease in demand for or the trading price of the commodity would significantly adversely affect the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, which could have an adverse impact on the value of the notes.

The Method By Which the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF Calculates the Value of Bitcoin, Including the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, Could Have an Adverse Effect on the Value of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF; The CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate Has a Limited Operating History

On each business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (New York Time), the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF evaluates the bitcoin held by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and determines the net asset value of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the net asset value per share. For purposes of making these calculations, a business day means any day other than a day when Nasdaq is closed for regular trading. The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF values the bitcoin held by the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF by reference to the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, which has only been in operation since February 2022. The CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate serves as a once-a-day benchmark rate of the U.S. dollar price of bitcoin (USD/BTC), calculated as of 4:00 p.m. (New York Time). The net asset value of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF equals the total assets of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, which consists solely of bitcoin and cash, less total liabilities of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF. The net asset value per share of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF equals the net asset value of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF divided by the number of shares outstanding on the day the computation is made. If the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate is not available, the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF's holdings may be fair valued on a temporary basis in accordance with the policy approved by the trustee.

If the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, or other valuation method, does not prove to be an accurate benchmark, and the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, or other valuation method, varies materially from the price of bitcoin determined by other mechanisms, the net asset value of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and, therefore, the value of an investment in the shares could be adversely impacted.

PS-21

Termination or Liquidation of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes

The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF is a Delaware statutory trust. The trust may be required to terminate and liquidate at a time that is disadvantageous to you. If the trust is required to terminate and liquidate, such termination and liquidation could occur at a time when the actual exchange rate of bitcoin is lower than the price of bitcoin at the time when you purchased your notes, which could have an adverse impact on the value of the notes.

Additional Risks Related to the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF

The Value of the Shares of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF Relates Directly to the Value of the Ether Held by the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF and Fluctuations in the Price of Ether Could Materially Adversely Affect an Investment in the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF's Shares

The Method By Which the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF Calculates the Value of Ether, Including the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, Could Have an Adverse Effect on the Value of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF; The CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate Has a Limited Operating History

On each business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (New York Time), the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF evaluates the ether held by the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF and determines the net asset value of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF and the net asset value per share. For purposes of making these calculations, a business day means any day other than a day when Nasdaq is closed for regular trading. The iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF values the ether held by the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF by reference to the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, which has only been in operation since February 2022.

Risks Related to Tax

We Intend to Treat Your Notes as Debt Instruments Subject to Special Rules Governing Contingent Payment Debt Instruments for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

We intend to treat your notes as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a U.S. individual or taxable entity, you generally will be required to pay taxes on ordinary income from the notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the notes, subject to any positive or negative adjustments based on the actual payments on the notes. This comparable yield is determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will be taxed prior to maturity and is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will be. In addition, any gain you may recognize on the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of the notes will be taxed as ordinary interest income. If you are a secondary purchaser of the notes, the tax consequences to you may be different. Please see "Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" below for a more detailed discussion. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your notes in your particular circumstances.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding May Apply to Payments on Your Notes, Including as a Result of the Failure of the Bank or Broker Through Which You Hold the Notes to Provide Information to Tax Authorities

Historical Closing Levels of the Underliers

The closing levels of the underliers have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. In particular, the underliers have recently experienced extreme and unusual volatility. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing level of any underlier during the period shown below is not an indication that such underlier is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the life of your notes.

You should not take the historical closing levels of an underlier as an indication of the future performance of an underlier, including because of the recent volatility described above. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of any underlier will result in you receiving any coupon payments or receiving the outstanding face amount of your notes on the stated maturity date.

Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the performance of the underliers. Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the relevant underlier levels between the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes and, given the recent volatility described above, you should pay particular attention to recent levels of the underliers. The actual performance of an underlier over the life of the offered notes, as well as the cash settlement amount at maturity may bear little relation to the historical levels shown below.

BITCOIN

Bitcoin is a digital asset, the ownership and behavior of which are determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network that connects computers that run publicly accessible, or "open source," software that follows the rules and procedures governing the bitcoin network, commonly referred to as the bitcoin protocol. The value of bitcoin, like the value of other digital assets, is not backed by any government, corporation or other identified body. Ownership and the ability to transfer or take other actions with respect to bitcoin are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is constrained or formulated by its protocol instead of being explicitly delegated to an identified body (e.g., a central bank) to control. Units of bitcoin, called tokens, are treated as fungible. Bitcoin and certain other types of digital assets are often referred to as digital currencies or cryptocurrencies. No single entity owns or operates the bitcoin network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as "miners"), (2) developers who propose improvements to the bitcoin protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose what bitcoin software to run.

Bitcoin was released in 2009 and, as a result, there is little data on its long-term investment potential. Bitcoin is not backed by a government-issued legal tender or any other currency or asset. Bitcoin is "stored" or reflected on a digital transaction ledger commonly known as a "blockchain." A blockchain is a type of shared and continually reconciled database, stored in a decentralized manner on the computers of certain users of the digital asset. Bitcoin is created by "mining." Mining involves miners using a sophisticated computer program to repeatedly solve very complex mathematical problems on specialized computer hardware. Miners can range from bitcoin enthusiasts to professional mining operations that design and build dedicated machines and data centers.

ETHER

Ether is a digital asset, the ownership and behavior of which are determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network that connects computers that run publicly accessible, or "open source," software that follows the rules and procedures governing the ethereum network. The value of ether, like the value of other digital assets, is not backed by any government, corporation or other identified body. Ownership and the ability to transfer or take other actions with respect to ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of ether is constrained or formulated by its protocol instead of being explicitly delegated to an identified body (e.g., a central bank) to control. Unlike certain digital assets, such as bitcoin, there is no hard cap on the supply of ether. Units of ether, called tokens, are treated as fungible. Ether and certain other types of digital assets are often referred to as digital currencies or cryptocurrencies. No single entity owns or operates the ethereum network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as "validators"), (2) developers who propose improvements to the ethereum network's underlying protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose what ethereum network protocol software to run.

Ether was released in 2015 and, as a result, there is little data on its long-term investment potential. Ether is not backed by a government-issued legal tender or any other currency or asset. Ether is "stored" or reflected on a digital transaction ledger commonly known as a "blockchain." A blockchain is a type of shared and continually reconciled database, stored in a decentralized manner on the computers of certain users of the digital asset. The ethereum network has undergone a number of significant changes since its release, including the transition (known as the "merge") from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism (where network participants engaged in prescribed, complex mathematical calculations to add blocks containing transactions to the blockchain) to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Under the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, validators risk or "stake" their ether to compete to be randomly selected to validate transactions and are rewarded ether in proportion to the amount of ether staked. Malicious activity, such as validating multiple blocks, disagreeing with the eventual consensus or otherwise violating protocol rules, can result in the forfeiture of a portion of the staked ether or removal from the pool of validators. The underlier is not permitted to stake its ether and is therefore not generating income or other earnings from staking. To the extent the underlier were to begin staking its ether, such staking may introduce new risks involving security risks, regulatory risks, and operational risks.

The following section supplements the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the accompanying prospectus.

The following section is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel to GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. It applies to you only if you hold your notes as a capital asset for tax purposes.

This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

This section is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

United States Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a United States holder that holds your notes as a capital asset for tax purposes. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of a note and you are:

PS-31

If you are not a United States holder, this section does not apply to you and you should refer to "- Non- United States Holders" below.

We intend to treat your notes as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under those rules, the amount of interest you are required to take into account for each accrual period will be determined by constructing a projected payment schedule for your notes and applying rules similar to those for accruing original issue discount on a hypothetical noncontingent debt instrument with that projected payment schedule. This method is applied by first determining the yield at which we would issue a noncontingent fixed rate debt instrument with terms and conditions similar to your notes (the "comparable yield") and then determining as of the issue date a payment schedule that would produce the comparable yield. These rules will generally have the effect of requiring you to include amounts in income in respect of your notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the notes, subject to any positive or negative adjustments based on the actual payments made on the notes.

It is not entirely clear how, under the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments, the maturity date for debt instruments (such as your notes) that provide for the possibility of early redemption should be determined for purposes of computing the comparable yield and projected payment schedule. It would be reasonable, however, to compute the comparable yield and projected payment schedule for your notes (and we intend to make the computation in such a manner) based on the assumption that your notes will remain outstanding until the stated maturity date.

We have determined that the comparable yield for the notes is equal to % per annum, compounded monthly. We have determined that the projected payment schedule consists of estimates of the monthly coupon payments (as set forth in the table below) and a projected payment at maturity (excluding the final estimated monthly coupon payment) of $ based on an investment of $1,000.

Based on this comparable yield, if you are an initial holder that holds a note until maturity and you pay your taxes on a calendar year basis, we have determined that you would be required to report the following amounts as ordinary income, not taking into account any positive or negative adjustments you may be required to take into account based on the actual payments on the notes, from the note each year:

In addition, we have determined the projected payments for your notes as follows:

PS-32

You are required to use the comparable yield and projected payment schedule that we compute in determining your interest accruals in respect of your notes, unless you timely disclose and justify on your U.S. federal income tax return the use of a different comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

The comparable yield and projected payment schedule are not provided to you for any purpose other than the determination of your interest accruals in respect of your notes, and we make no representation regarding the amount of contingent payments with respect to your notes.

If, during any taxable year, the actual payments with respect to the notes exceed the projected payments for that taxable year, you will incur a "net positive adjustment" under the contingent payment debt regulations equal to the amount of such excess. You will treat a net positive adjustment as additional interest income in that taxable year.

If, during any taxable year, the actual payments with respect to the notes are less than the amount of projected payments for that taxable year, you will incur a "net negative adjustment" under the contingent payment debt regulations equal to the amount of such deficit. This net negative adjustment will (a) reduce your interest income on the notes for that taxable year, and (b) to the extent of any excess after the application of (a), give rise to an ordinary loss to the extent of your interest income on the notes during prior taxable years, reduced to the extent such interest was offset by prior net negative adjustments. Any net negative adjustment in excess of the amounts described in (a) and (b) will be carried forward as a negative adjustment to offset future interest income with respect to the notes or to reduce the amount realized on a sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of the notes. A net negative adjustment is not subject to the two percent floor limitation on miscellaneous itemized deductions.

Furthermore, it is possible that any Form 1099-OID you receive in respect of the notes may not take net negative or positive adjustments into account and therefore may overstate or understate your interest inclusions. You should consult your tax advisor as to whether and how adjustments should be made to the amounts reported on any Form 1099-OID.

If you purchase your notes at a price other than their adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes, you must determine the extent to which the difference between the price you paid for your notes and their adjusted issue price is attributable to a change in expectations as to the projected payment schedule, a change in interest rates, or both, and reasonably allocate the difference accordingly. The adjusted issue price of your notes will equal your notes' original issue price plus any interest deemed to be accrued on your notes (under the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments) as of the time you purchase your notes, decreased by the projected amount of any contingent payments previously made with respect to the notes. The original issue price of your notes will be the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. Therefore, you may be required to make the adjustments described above even if you purchase your notes in the initial offering if you purchase your notes at a price other than the issue price.

If the adjusted issue price of your notes is greater than the price you paid for your notes, you must make positive adjustments increasing (i) the amount of interest that you would otherwise accrue and include in income each year, and (ii) the amount of ordinary income (or decreasing the amount of ordinary loss) recognized upon maturity by the amounts allocated under the previous paragraph to each of interest and the projected payment schedule; if the adjusted issue price of your notes is less than the price you paid for your notes, you must make negative adjustments, decreasing (i) the amount of interest that you must include in income each year, and (ii) the amount of ordinary income (or increasing the amount of ordinary loss) recognized upon maturity by the amounts allocated under the previous paragraph to each of interest and the projected payment schedule. Adjustments allocated to the interest amount are not made until the date the daily portion of interest accrues.

Because any Form 1099-OID that you receive will not reflect the effects of positive or negative adjustments resulting from your purchase of notes at a price other than the adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes, you are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to whether and how adjustments should be made to the amounts reported on any Form 1099-OID.

You will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the cash amount you receive at such time and your adjusted basis in your notes. In general, your adjusted basis in your notes will equal the amount you paid for your notes, increased by the amount of interest you previously accrued with respect to your notes (in accordance with the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule for your notes), decreased by the projected amount of any contingent payments previously made to you with respect to your notes and increased or decreased by the amount of any

PS-33

positive or negative adjustment, respectively, that you are required to make if you purchase your notes at a price other than the adjusted issue price determined for tax purposes.

Any gain you recognize upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes will be ordinary interest income. Any loss you recognize at such time will be ordinary loss to the extent of interest you included as income in the current or previous taxable years in respect of your notes, and, thereafter, capital loss. If you are a noncorporate holder, you would generally be able to use such ordinary loss to offset your income only in the taxable year in which you recognize the ordinary loss and would generally not be able to carry such ordinary loss forward or back to offset income in other taxable years.

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how your notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the notes are uncertain and alternative characterizations are possible. Accordingly, we urge you to consult your tax advisor in determining the tax consequences of an investment in your notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

Alternative Treatments. There is no judicial or administrative authority discussing how your notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the Internal Revenue Service might assert that a treatment other than that described above is more appropriate. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could seek to characterize your notes in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described above. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of any possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Non-United States Holders

This section applies to you only if you are a non-United States holder. You are a non-United States holder if you are the beneficial owner of the notes and are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

The Treasury Department has issued regulations under which amounts paid or deemed paid on certain financial instruments ("871(m) financial instruments") that are treated as attributable to U.S.-source dividends could be treated, in whole or in part depending on the circumstances, as a "dividend equivalent" payment that is subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable treaty), which in the case of any coupon payments and amounts you receive upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, could be collected via withholding. If these regulations were to apply to the notes, we may be required to withhold such taxes if any U.S.-source dividends are paid on the underliers during the term of the notes. We could also require you to make certifications (e.g., an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8) prior to any coupon payment or the maturity of the notes in order to avoid or minimize withholding obligations, and we could withhold accordingly (subject to your potential right to claim a refund from the Internal Revenue Service) if such certifications were not received or were not satisfactory. If withholding was required, we would not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld. These regulations generally will apply to 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2027, but will also apply to certain 871(m) financial instruments (or a combination of financial instruments treated as having been entered into in connection with each other) that have a delta (as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) of one and are issued (or significantly modified and treated as retired and reissued) on or after January 1, 2017. In addition, these regulations will not apply to financial instruments that reference a "qualified index" (as defined in the regulations). We have determined that, as of the issue date of your notes, your notes will not be subject to withholding under these rules. In certain limited circumstances, however, you should be aware that it is possible for non-United States holders to be liable for tax under these rules with respect to a combination

PS-34

of transactions treated as having been entered into in connection with each other even when no withholding is required. You should consult your tax advisor concerning these regulations, subsequent official guidance and regarding any other possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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.

Supplemental plan of distribution; conflicts of interest

See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" on page S-51 of the accompanying general terms supplement no. 17,741 and "Plan of Distribution - Conflicts of Interest" on page 127 of the accompanying prospectus; GS Finance Corp. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ .

GS Finance Corp. will sell to GS&Co., and GS&Co. will purchase from GS Finance Corp., the aggregate face amount of the offered notes specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement. GS&Co. proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the original issue price 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 % of the face amount. GS&Co. is an affiliate of GS Finance Corp. and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and, as such, will have a "conflict of interest" in this offering of notes within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering of notes will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. GS&Co. will not be permitted to sell notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. We have been advised that GS&Co. will also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, a broker-dealer in which an affiliate of GS Finance Corp. holds an indirect minority equity interest, for services it is providing in connection with this offering.

We expect to deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on September 18, 2025. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

We have been advised by GS&Co. that it intends to make a market in the notes. However, neither GS&Co. nor any of our other affiliates that makes a market is obligated to do so and any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or trading market for the notes.

By purchasing the notes, you are deemed to represent to Goldman Sachs that you are not subject to the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction prohibiting the purchase or ownership of notes of this type.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system.
