Subject: Shareholder Vote Required
Dear Shareholder, |
|
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming shareholder vote that requires your attention. Your participation is important to ensure that your interests are represented and that the Goldman Sachs Enhanced U.S. Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Premium Income ETF, Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities ETF, Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights Fund and Goldman Sachs Large Cap Equity Fund (the “Funds”) can move forward on key matters. Please note, this meeting is being adjourned to allow additional time to secure the required shareholder votes.
The Board of Trustees of each Fund has approved a change to each Fund’s sub-classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended from “diversified” to “non-diversified” and to eliminate any related fundamental investment restriction.
| • | Changing a Fund’s status to non-diversified would provide Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., the Fund’s investment adviser, with enhanced flexibility to invest a greater portion of the Fund’s assets in individual issuers. |
| • | Shareholders may benefit from the flexibility afforded to non-diversified funds to place additional investments in certain issuers. |
| • | More details are included in the Joint Proxy Statement located on www.proxyvote.com. |
Meeting Date: Adjourned to October 30, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., ET
Action Needed: Please submit your vote on or before 5 p.m. ET October 29, 2026, by one of the following methods:
| • | Online: Go to www.proxyvote.com. Your unique control number can be found on the enclosed ballot in the box marked with an arrow. |
| • | Call: 1-844-574-9090 and speak to a live representative. Or call the number located on your ballot (with a touch-tone phone to vote using an automated system) |
| • | Mail: Mark, sign and date the enclosed ballot and mail in the envelope provided |
Why Your Vote Matters
If shareholders do not vote, we may need to incur additional costs to continue soliciting votes. Your prompt vote helps us avoid these additional expenses and ensures that your views are represented in this important decision.

Sincerely,
Goldman Sachs
