Floating Rate Notes due 2022

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture as defined on the reverse of this Security), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of on August 23, 2022.

The Company further promises to pay interest on the principal sum hereof at a floating rateper annumof 0.65% above CDOR, determined in accordance with the provisions below and reset effective each Interest Reset Date, from and including August 23, 2019 (such date, the “Original Issuance Date”) (or from the most recent Interest Payment Date thereafter to which interest has been paid or duly provided for) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 23, May 23, August 23 and November 23 in each year, commencing on November 23, 2019 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), and at the Maturity of the principal hereof.

Any installment of interest that is overdue shall also bear interest at the same rate in effect during the Interest Period ending on the day prior to the due date of such installment of interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date any such overdue installment first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on any installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand, subject to the provisions in the Indenture.

Interest on this Security shall be computed on an Actual/365 (Fixed) basis, meaning a365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Period. Payments of interest on this Security with respect to any Interest Payment Date, or at the Maturity of the principal hereof, will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the date of such Maturity, as the case may be (subject to the provisions under “Payments on a Business Day” below). Accrued interest from the Original Issuance Date or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent bymultiplying the principal amount by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day from and including the date of issue or from and including the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day shall be expressed as a decimal and computed by dividing the interest rate (also expressed as a decimal) in effect on such day by 365.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on this Security shall not be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as it may be modified by U.S. law of general applicability.

For the purposes of this Security, the Base Rate that takes effect on any Interest Reset Date shall be CDOR, which will be determined in the following manner:

(i) CDOR will be an interest rateper annum equal to the arithmetic average (rounded upwards to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of the annual bid rates of interest for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a90-day term to maturity and a principal amount equal to CAD1,000,000,000 (or a term and face amount as closely as possible comparable to such maturity and principal amount) that appears on the Bloomberg Screen CDOR Page as of 10:15 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Period; provided, however, that CDOR for the initial Interest Period will be determined on August 23, 2019.

(ii) If fewer than three such bid rates appear on the Bloomberg Screen CDOR Page as of 10:15 a.m. (Toronto time) on the related Interest Reset Date, the CDOR for such Interest Period will be the rateper annum equal to the arithmetic average (rounded upwards to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of the bid rate quotations for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances, having a90-day term to maturity and a principal amount equal to CAD1,000,000,000 (or a term and principal amount as closely as possible comparable to such maturity and principal amount), as of 10:15 a.m. (Toronto time) on the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Period by the principal Toronto office of three banks named in Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada) selected by the Company and identified to the Calculation Agent on or about such date; provided, however, that CDOR for the initial Interest Period will be determined on August 23, 2019.

For all purposes of this Security:

The term “Bloomberg Screen CDOR Page” means the display designated as the “CDOR03” page on the Bloomberg Professional Service (or such other page as may replace the CDOR page on that service) for the purpose of displaying, among other things, Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptance rates.

The term “Interest Period” means the period beginning on and including August 23, 2019 to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date (or, in any such case if applicable, to the Maturity of the principal hereof), subject to the provisions under “Payments Due on a Business Day” below.

The term “Interest Reset Date” means every February 23, May 23, August 23 and November 23, commencing on November 23, 2019, on each of which the rate of interest on this Security will be reset. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a

(Face of Security continued on next page)

-3-

day that is not a Business Day with respect to this Security, then such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day;providedthat, if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, then such Interest Reset Date shall be advanced to the immediately preceding Business Day.

Other than calculations of CDOR as described above, all percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security shall be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the next higher or lower one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876541% (or .09876541) being rounded down to 9.87654% (or .0987654) and 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded up to 9.87655% (or .0987655)). All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation with respect to this Security will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent withone-half or more of a cent being rounded upward.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) next preceding such Interest Payment Date (or, if such interest is to be paid on another day as provided below, next preceding such other day). Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and such Defaulted Interest may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof being given to the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. For the purpose of determining the Holder at the close of business on any relevant record date when business is not being conducted, the close of business will mean 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on that day.

Solely for the purposes of disclosure under theInterest Act(Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest calculated under the Security for any period in any calendar year (the “calculation period”) is equivalent, is the rate payable under the Security in respect of the calculation period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in such calendar year and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in the calculation period.

Subject to the prior paragraph and except as provided in the next paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in Toronto, Ontario (and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date);provided,however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

Subject to the second preceding paragraph, payment of any amount payable on this Security will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in Toronto, Ontario if (i) the principal of this Security is at least CAD1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, on or before the fifth Business Day before the day on which such payment is to be made;provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in Toronto, Ontario (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the fifth Business Day before a payment is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such payment and all later payments. In the case of any payment of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this Security on the relevant Regular Record Date. The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.

Payments Due on a Business Day

Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if the Maturity of the principal hereof occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, any amount of principal, premium or interest that would otherwise be due on this Security on such day (the “Specified Day”) may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from the Specified Day to such next succeeding Business Day.

If any Interest Reset Date or Interest Payment Date other than one that falls on the date of Maturity of the principal hereof would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, then such date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day;provided that, if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, then such date shall be advanced to the immediately preceding Business Day.

For all purposes of this Security, “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in The City of New York or Toronto, Ontario. The provisions of this section shall apply to this Security in lieu of the provisions of Section 1.13 of the Indenture.

Payments Made in U.S. Dollars

Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture, if any amount payable on this Security is payable on any day and if Canadian dollars are not available to the Company on the two Business Days before such day, due to the imposition of exchange controls, disruption in a currency market or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in Canadian dollars by making such payment in U.S. dollars. The amount of such payment in U.S. dollars shall be determined by an Exchange Rate Agent to be appointed by the Company, on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for Canadian dollars (the “Exchange Rate”) as of the latest day before the day on which such payment is to be made. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in Canadian dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Security or the Indenture.

4. Redemption at the Company’s Option.

(a) The Securities of this series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, if, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of any U.S. Taxing Authority (as defined in Section 3 above), or any amendment to or change in any official interpretation or application of such laws or regulations, which amendment or change becomes effective or is announced on or after August 19, 2019, the Company will become obligated to pay, on the next Interest Payment Date, additional amounts in respect of any Security of this series pursuant to Section 3 of this Security or any corresponding section of another Security of this series.

5. Defeasance.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants, Events of Default and Covenant Breaches with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. Both of such provisions are applicable to this Security.

6. Modification and Waiver.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, considered together as one class for this purpose (such Securities to be affected may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series). The Indenture also contains provisions (i) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected under the Indenture, considered together as one class for this purpose (such affected Securities may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any particular series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities so affected, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and (ii) permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series to be affected under the Indenture (with each such series considered separately for this purpose), on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term “default” means, with respect to any Securities, any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default or Covenant Breach in respect of such Securities.

7. Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. With respect to this Security, the only Events of Default are payment defaults that continue for 30 days and insolvency events, all as specified in the Indenture. Any other default under or breach of the Indenture or the Securities will not give rise to an Event of Default, whether after notice, the passage of time or otherwise.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or Covenant Breach with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default or Covenant Breach, as applicable, as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

If so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
