 THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. 

Floating Rate Notes due 2025 

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 CDS & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of One Billion
And Two Hundred And Fifty Million Canadian Dollars (CAD1,250,000,000) on April 29, 2025. 
 The Company further promises to pay
interest on the principal sum hereof at a floating rate per annum of 0.37% above CDOR, determined in accordance with the provisions below and reset effective each Interest Reset Date, from and including April 29, 2021 (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 January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29 in each year, commencing on July 29, 2021 (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 a 365-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 Due 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 by multiplying 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 rate per 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 a 90-day term to maturity and a principal amount equal to CAD1,250,000,000 (or a term and
face amount as closely as possible comparable to such maturity and principal amount) that appears on the Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited CDOR Page (or any successor or replacement 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 April 29, 2021. 

(ii)    If fewer than three such bid rates appear on the Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited CDOR Page as of 10:15
a.m. (Toronto time) on the related Interest Reset Date, then CDOR for such Interest Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent using a substitute or successor base rate that it has determined in its sole discretion is most comparable to
CDOR. If the Calculation Agent determines on the relevant Interest Reset Date that CDOR has been discontinued, then the Calculation Agent will use a substitute or successor base rate that it has determined in its sole discretion is most comparable
to CDOR, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor base rate, then the Calculation Agent shall use such successor base rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor base rate
in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may determine the business day convention, the definition of business day and the Interest Reset Date to be used and any other relevant methodology for calculating such
substitute or successor base rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or successor base rate comparable to CDOR, in a manner that is consistent with industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate.
Unless the Calculation Agent uses a substitute or successor rate as so provided, if CDOR is unavailable and/or cannot be determined in the manner described above on the determination date, CDOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent, after
consulting such sources as it deems comparable to the foregoing display page, or any other source it deems reasonable, in its sole discretion. 

The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any interest period, will
be on file at our principal offices, will be made available to any noteholder upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

 All Canadian dollar amounts resulting from the calculation of interest, as described above
during the relevant periods, will be rounded to the nearest cent. 
 For all purposes of this Security: 

The term “Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited CDOR Page” means the display designated as the “CDOR03” page on the
Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (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 April 29, 2021 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 January 29, April 29,
July 29 and October 29 commencing on July 29, 2021, on each of which the rate of interest on this Security will be reset. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a 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; provided that, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Interest Reset Date that falls on the Maturity of the principal hereof will not be changed. 

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 with one-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

  
 (Face of Security

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 the Interest 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. 

Currency and Manner of Payment 

Payment of the principal of and premium or interest on this Security will be made in Canadian dollars. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Security or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, any payment in respect of this Security may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary as permitted in the Indenture. 

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 CAD1,250,000,000 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. 
 The Company will at all times maintain an
office or agency in Toronto, Ontario for the payment of principal, interest and any other amount on this Security. The Company’s initial Paying Agent shall be BNY Trust Company of Canada in Toronto, Ontario. 

References in this Security to Canadian dollars shall mean, as of any time, the coin or currency that is legal tender for the payment of
private and public debt in Canada. 
 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. Any Interest Period beginning on or ending immediately prior to an Interest Payment Date that is postponed or advanced as provided in this paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly.

 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. 

Exchange Rate Agent 

As used herein, the “Exchange Rate Agent” shall mean such agent appointed by the Company to act with respect to this series after the
date of issuance (including any affiliate of the Company); provided that the Company may, and in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time. The
Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment. Insofar as this Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any
determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, affiliates of any such agent or affiliates of the
Company. 
 All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to the terms of this Security shall be, absent manifest error,
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Security and the Company, and the Exchange Rate Agent shall have no liability therefor.

 Calculation Agent 

As used herein, the “Calculation Agent” shall initially mean Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC; provided that the Company may, in its
sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any affiliate of the Company) to serve as any such agent from time to time. The Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment. Insofar as this
Security provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any institution or institutions of the kind contemplated
hereby notwithstanding that any one or more of such institutions are any such agent, affiliates of any such agent or affiliates of the Company. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent may be made by such agent in its sole discretion and,
absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Security and the Company. The Calculation Agent shall not have any liability therefor. 

 
  

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual or electronic signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

1.    Securities and Indenture.  

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”) issued and to be issued

2.    Series and Denominations. 

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount as shall be determined and may be
increased from time to time by the Company. Any election by the Company so to increase such aggregate principal amount shall be evidenced by a certificate of an Authorized Person (as defined in the Determination of an Authorized Person, dated
April 29, 2021, with respect to this series). References herein to “this series” mean the series of Securities designated on the face hereof, provided that, for purposes of Sections 6 and 7 below, the term

multiples of CAD1,000, subject to a minimum denomination of CAD100,000. 
 3.    Additional Amounts. 

If the beneficial owner of this Security is a United States Alien (as defined below), the Company will pay all additional amounts that may be
necessary so that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Security to such beneficial owner, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed with respect to
such payment by any U.S. Taxing Authority (as defined below), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Security to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts for or on
account of any one or more of the following: 
 (i)     any tax, assessment or other governmental charge
imposed solely because at any time there is or was a connection between such beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, shareholder or member of such beneficial owner, if such beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or

  
 (Reverse of Security

 -10- 

 
corporation) and the United States (as defined below) (other than the mere receipt of a payment on, or the ownership or holding of, a Security), including because such beneficial owner (or such

(ii)     any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed solely because of a change in applicable law or
regulation, or in any official interpretation or application of applicable law or regulation, that becomes effective more than 15 days after the day on which the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

(iii)    any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or any
similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (iv)     any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge imposed solely because such beneficial owner or any other Person fails to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United
States of the Holder or any beneficial owner of this Security, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the U.S. Treasury Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, as a precondition to
exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 
 (v)     any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on this Security; 

(vi)     any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the payment is to be made
by a particular Paying Agent (which term may include the Company) and would not be imposed if made by another Paying Agent (which term may include the Company); 

(vii)     any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the Holder (1) is a
bank purchasing this Security in the ordinary course of

its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Security for investment purposes only nor (B) buying this Security for resale to a third party that either is
not a bank or holding this Security for investment purposes only; or 
 (viii)     any combination of the
taxes, assessments or other governmental charges described in items (i) through (vii) of this Section 3. 
 Additional amounts
also will not be paid with respect to any payment of principal of or interest on this Security to any United States Alien who is a fiduciary or a partnership, or who is not the sole beneficial owner of any such payment, to the extent that the
Company would not be required to pay additional amounts to any beneficiary or settlor of such fiduciary or any member of such a partnership, or to any beneficial owner of the payment, if that Person had been treated as the beneficial owner of this
Security for this purpose. 
 In addition, any amounts to be paid on this Security will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed
or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and no additional amounts
will be required to be paid on account of any such deduction or withholding.

Person who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a
nonresident alien individual or a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a nonresident alien fiduciary of an estate or trust that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from this
Security. For the purposes of this Section 3 and Section 4 only, (a) the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states thereof and the District of Columbia), together with the territories,
possessions and all other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America and (b) the term “U.S. Taxing Authority” means the United States of America or any state, other jurisdiction or taxing authority in the
United States. 
 Except as specifically provided in this Security, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

 Whenever in the Securities of this series (or in the Indenture, including in Sections
5.01(1) and (2) thereof, insofar as applicable to this series) there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of this series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of any
payment of additional amounts to United States Aliens in respect of such payment of principal or interest to the extent that, in such context, such additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 3
or any corresponding section of another Security of this series, as the case may be. Express mention of the payment of additional amounts in any provision of any Security of this series shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in the
provisions of any Security of this series (or of the Indenture insofar as it applies to this series) where such express mention is not made. 

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 and unpaid to but excluding 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
April 22, 2021, 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. If the Company becomes entitled to redeem the Securities of this series, it may do so on any day thereafter pursuant to the Indenture; provided, however, that (1) the Company gives the Holder of this
Security notice of such redemption not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture, (2) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the next Interest Payment Date
on which the Company would be obligated to pay such additional amounts and (3) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such additional amounts remains in effect. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of redemption of
Securities pursuant to this Section 4(a), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing
that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem the Securities have occurred. Interest installments due on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security or one or more Predecessor Securities, of
record at the close of business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 (b)    In addition,
the Securities of this series may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, in whole, but not in part, on April 29, 2024 or on or after March 29, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be

redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date. Notice of a redemption pursuant to this Section 4(b) must be provided to the Holder of this Security
not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date. Interest installments due on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of
business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 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

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. As used in this Section 7, the term

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
