Risk Factors

An investment in the securities is subject to risks. Many of the risks are described in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, accompanying WFS product supplement no. 9, accompanying underlier supplement no. 48, accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Below we have provided a list of risk factors discussed in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement (but not those discussed in the accompanying WFS product supplement no. 9, accompanying underlier supplement no. 48, accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus). In addition to the below, you should read in full "Selected Risk Considerations" in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, " Risk Factors" in the accompanying WFS product supplement no. 9, "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Securities" in the accompanying underlier supplement no. 48, as well as the risks and considerations described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus.

The following risk factors are discussed in greater detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement:

**<u>Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales</u>**

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

▪The Securities Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor

▪The Amount Payable on Your Securities Is Not Linked to the Closing Level of the Underliers at Any Time Other Than the Calculation Day

▪You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Securities

▪Because the Securities Are Linked to the Performance of the Lowest Performing Underlier, You Have a Greater Risk of Sustaining a Significant Loss on Your Investment Than If the Securities Were Linked to Just One Underlier

▪A Lower Threshold Level May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underliers, and Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates An Increased Risk of Declines in the Levels of the Underliers and, Potentially, a Significant Loss at Maturity

▪The Maturity Payment Amount Will Be Based Solely on the Lowest Performing Underlier

▪Your Securities Do Not Bear Interest

▪The Market Value of Your Securities May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors

▪You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlier Stock

**<u>Additional Risks Related to TOPIX and the EURO STOXX 50</u>**<sup>®</sup> **<u>Index</u>**

▪An Investment in the Offered Securities Is Subject to Risks Associated with Foreign Securities Markets

▪Government Regulatory Action, Including Legislative Acts and Executive Orders, Could Result in Material Changes to the Composition of an Underlier with Underlier Stocks from One or More Foreign Securities Markets and Could Negatively Affect Your Investment in the Securities

**<u>Risks Related to Tax</u>**

▪Certain Considerations for Insurance Companies and Employee Benefit Plans

▪The Tax Consequences of an Investment in Your Securities Are Uncertain

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