Risk Factors<br>

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. 3, 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. 3, 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. 3, 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:

#### Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales
▪ 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 Orig inal Offering Price Of Your Securities

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

▪ You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the Securities

▪ You May Not Receive a Contingent Coupon on Any Contingent Coupon Payment Date

▪ Because the Securities Are Linked to the Performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock, You Have a Greater Risk of Receiving No Contingent Coupons and Sustaining a Significant Loss on Your Investment Than If the Securities Were Linked to Just One Underlying Stock

▪ A Higher Contingent Coupon, a Lower Coupon Threshold Price and/or a Lower Downside Threshold Price May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underlying Stocks, and Greater Expected Volatility Generally Indicates An Increased Risk of Declines in the Prices of the Underlying Stocks and, Potentially, a Significant Loss at Maturity

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

▪ Your Securities Are Subject to Automatic Redemption

▪ The Return on Your Securities May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock

▪ The Contingent Coupon Does Not Reflect the Actual Performance of the Underlying Stocks from the Pricing Date to Any Calculation Day or from Calculation Day to Calculation Day

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

▪ We Will Not Hold Shares of the Underlying Stock for Your Benefit

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

#### Risks Related to Tax
▪ 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
