Subject to Completion. Dated May 14, 2026. GS Finance Corp. $ Fixed CouponS&P 500Futures Excess Return Index-Linked Notes dueguaranteed by® The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Thenotes will pay a fixed coupon of $5 (0.50% quarterly, or up to 2% per annum) for each $1,000 face amount on eachcoupon payment date (expected to be the 20th day of each February, May, August and November, commencing in August2026 and ending in May 2030). No coupon will be paid after the May 2030 coupon payment date. The amount that you willbe paid on your notes on the stated maturity date (expected to be May 20, 2031) is based on the performance of the S&P500®Futures Excess Return Index as measured from the initial index level (set on the trade date (expected to be May 15,2026) and will be an intra-day level or the closing level of the index on the trade date) to the final index level on thedetermination date (expected to be May 15, 2031). The index tracks the performance of E-mini S&P 500 futures contracts, not the S&P 500®Index. Generally, thereturn on an investment in a futures contract is correlated with, but not the same as, the return on buying andholding the securities underlying such contract. If the index return (the percentage change in the final index level from the initial index level) is positive or zero, the returnon your notes will be positive and for each $1,000 face amount of your notes you will receive thegreaterof (i) thethreshold settlement amount of $1,450 and (ii) thesumof (a) the $1,000 face amountplus(b) theproductof (1) $1,000times(2) the index return.

If the index return is negative and the final index level isless than80% of the initial index level, the return on your noteswill be negative and will equal the index return.You could lose your entire investment in the notes.For example, if the index return is -20%, you will receive a positive return of 20% on your notes; however, if theindex return is -21%, you will lose 21% of the value of your notes (a very significant negative change in the returnon your notes based on a small negative change in the index return).
