The LEI of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH is 549300CRL28LF3CSEA14. Principal Activities The purpose of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH is to issue fungible securities as well as the conduct of financial transactions and auxiliary transactions for financial transactions. GSW is neither engaged in banking transactions as defined in Section 1 of the German Banking Act nor in business operations as defined by Section 34 c of the German Industrial Code.

The following key financial information has been extracted from the audited financial statements of the Issuer for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 and from the unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 which have been prepared in accordance with rules laid down in the German Commercial Code (HGB).

Besides issuing fungible securities GSW does not carry out any further operating business activity and the issued share capital of GSW amounts to EUR 51,129.19 (DM 100,000.00) only. Investors are therefore exposed to a significantly greater credit risk by purchasing the securities compared to an issuer equipped with significantly more capital. In an extreme case, i.e. the insolvency of GSW, an investment in a security issued by GSW may mean the complete loss of the invested amount (risk of total loss), if the risk cannot be absorbed by a guarantee issued by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GSG") in favor of the investors. • Investors are exposed to the risks relating to the creditworthiness of GSW due to the dependency of GSW on hedging arrangements. To hedge its claims arising from the issued securities, GSW enters into hedging transactions with Goldman Sachs International and potentially going forward with other Goldman Sachs entities. In connection therewith, GSW is exposed to the risk of default and insolvency risk of the parties with whom GSW concludes hedging transactions. Since GSW enters into such hedging transactions primarily with Goldman Sachs entities, GSW is exposed to a so-called cluster risk. Therefore, an illiquidity or insolvency of companies affiliated with GSW may directly result in an insolvency of GSW. • Investors are exposed to the risk relating to the creditworthiness of GSW as a subsidiary of GSG. An insolvency of GSW may occur despite of the fact that GSW is a subsidiary of GSG. A potential failure of GSG or a company affiliated with GSG and measures taken in accordance with the U.S. Resolution Regimes may also affect GSW. Except for the guarantee of GSG or another Goldman Sachs entity no further credit enhancement is provided. As a consequence, in case the hedging arrangements prove to be insufficient to satisfy the claims of all holders and the guarantor fails to satisfy the liabilities arising from the guarantee, investors may lose parts of their investment or their entire investment (risk of total loss).

Besides issuing fungible securities GSW does not carry out any further operating business activity and the issued share capital of GSW amounts to EUR 51,129.19 (DM 100,000.00) only. Investors are therefore there- fore exposed to a significantly greater credit risk by purchasing the securities compared to an issuer equipped with significantly more capital. In an extreme case, i.e. the insolvency of GSW, an investment in a security issued by GSW may mean the complete loss of the invested amount (risk of total loss), if the risk cannot be absorbed by a guarantee issued by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GSG") in favor of the investors. • Investors are exposed to the risks relating to the creditworthiness of GSW due to the dependency of GSW on hedging arrangements. To hedge its claims arising from the issued securities, GSW enters into hedging transactions with Goldman Sachs International and potentially going forward with other Goldman Sachs entities. In connection therewiththere- with, GSW is exposed to the risk of default and insolvency risk of the parties with whom GSW concludes hedging transactions. Since GSW enters into such hedging transactions primarily with Goldman Sachs entities, GSW is exposed ex- posed to a so-called cluster risk. Therefore, an illiquidity or insolvency of companies affiliated with GSW may directly di- rectly result in an insolvency of GSW. • Investors are exposed to the risk relating to the creditworthiness of GSW as a subsidiary of GSG. An insolvency of GSW may occur despite of the fact that GSW is a subsidiary of GSG. A potential failure of GSG or a company affiliated with GSG and measures taken in accordance with the U.S. Resolution Regimes may also affect GSW. Except for the guarantee of GSG or another Goldman Sachs entity no further credit enhancement is provided. As a consequence, in case the hedging arrangements prove to be insufficient to satisfy the claims of all holders and the guarantor fails to satisfy the liabilities arising from the guarantee, investors may lose parts of their investment or their entire investment (risk of total loss).
