It is proposed that this filing will become effective immediately upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this filing is to file as an exhibit the opinion of counsel supporting the tax matters and consequences to shareholders in connection with the reorganization of Goldman Sachs Imprint Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, a series of Goldman Sachs Trust, with and into Goldman Sachs ESG Emerging Markets Equity Fund, a series of Goldman Sachs Trust, as required by Item 16(12) of Form  N-14

Parts A and B are incorporated herein by reference to the definitive Combined Information Statement/Prospectus and the definitive Statement of Additional Information filed pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act on December 22, 2020 (Accession No. 0001193125-20-323428).

PART C: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

Article IV of the Declaration of Trust of Goldman Sachs Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, provides for indemnification of the Trustees, officers and agents of the Trust, subject to certain limitations. The Declaration of Trust is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (1)(a).

The Management Agreement provides that the Investment Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Fund, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser or from reckless disregard by the Investment Adviser of its obligations or duties under the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is incorporated by reference as Exhibit (6)(a).

Section 9 of the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Goldman Sachs dated April 30, 1997, as amended, and Section 7 of the Transfer Agency Agreement between the Registrant and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC dated August 9, 2007 provides that the Registrant will indemnify Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC against certain liabilities. Copies of the Distribution Agreement and the Transfer Agency Agreement are incorporated by reference as Exhibits (7)(a) and (13)(d) respectively, to the Registrant’s Registration Statement.

Mutual fund and trustees and officers liability policies purchased jointly by the Registrant and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust insure such persons and their respective trustees, partners, officers and employees, subject to the policies’ coverage limits and exclusions and varying deductibles, against loss resulting from claims by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
