Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 19, 2021, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the launch of a proposed public offering (the “Offering”) of depositary shares, each representing 1/25th interest in a share of its new series of Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series T (the “Depositary Shares”). The Offering is subject to pricing, which has not yet occurred. If the Offering is priced and proceeds to closing, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Depositary Shares to redeem all of its outstanding 6.30% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series N, $25,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Series N Preferred Stock”). The depositary shares, each representing 1/1000th interest in a share of Series N Preferred Stock, are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol GS PrN.
The pricing of the Offering, and thus whether any possible redemption of outstanding preferred stock will occur, is subject to market conditions and other considerations. There is no assurance that the Offering will price and close or that the Company will decide to redeem the Series N Preferred Stock. If the Company decides to redeem the Series N Preferred Stock, it intends to announce its decision by press release and an appropriate notice of redemption.
The Offering is described in the Company’s preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 19, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell the Depositary Shares.

It is possible that the firm’s actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements.
