Eligible shares will also be voted in accordance with any recommendation made by the Goldman Sachs Board of Directors with respect to any other matter. Your standing voting instruction will remain effective and in place for every shareholder vote until you change or cancel/opt out of the instruction; your instruction will be communicated to your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable). You may override your instruction for any specific meeting or any specific proposal by voting pursuant to the proxy card or voting instruction form that you will receive from Goldman Sachs or your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable) in connection with any shareholders' meeting or shareholder vote. You may change or cancel/opt out of your standing voting instruction by returning to this portal. Your change or cancellation/opt-out will become effective beginning for any shareholders' meeting and/or shareholder vote set forth in the next Goldman Sachs proxy statement filed with the SEC after the date of your change or cancellation/opt-out. If you submit your change or cancellation/opt-out after the filing of a proxy statement but before the date of the applicable vote or shareholders' meeting, that change or cancellation/opt-out will not apply to that particular vote or meeting but will apply to subsequent votes and meetings. However, you may still override your standing voting instruction for that meeting or matter by voting directly pursuant to the proxy card or voting instruction form that you will receive from Goldman Sachs or your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable). You will receive an annual reminder of your standing voting instruction that will include instructions for how to change or cancel/opt out of your instruction. If you selected the "Vote with the Board on all matters" instruction, you will also receive an additional reminder of your instruction prior to any meeting involving (1) any contested director election and (2) any acquisition, merger or divestiture transaction that, under applicable state law or stock exchange rules, requires approval of Goldman Sachs' shareholders. Providing a standing voting instruction will not change any of your voting rights as a shareholder. You will continue to receive copies of all proxy statements filed by Goldman Sachs and you will continue to receive a proxy card or voting instruction form from Goldman Sachs or your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable) in connection with any shareholder vote or any shareholders' meeting.
Learn more section What is the Voting Instruction Program? Goldman Sachs is offering its retail (i.e., individual) shareholders a new and easy way to make their voices heard. Other participants in the proxy process have the ability to put advance voting policies in place or to delegate voting to advisors. This program is intended to offer a similar option to our retail (i.e., individual) shareholders. Selecting a standing voting instruction will not change any voting rights for any shareholder. If you select and submit a standing voting instruction for your account(s), you are agreeing that - going forward - when Goldman Sachs files a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in connection with any shareholders' meeting or shareholder vote - pursuant to your selected instruction - eligible shares in your designated account(s) will be automatically voted on your behalf. Goldman Sachs's vote processing agent will submit a dated proxy on your behalf that provides for your vote to be cast accordingly. You will not need to take any further action to ensure your shareholder voice is heard unless you wish to change your vote for any particular proposal. Enrollment is voluntary; there is no cost for enrolling. What are my choices for voting instructions pursuant to the Voting Instruction Program? Pursuant to the program, retail (i.e., individual) shareholders may put in place a "standing voting instruction" to vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Goldman Sachs Board of Directors. You have a choice of putting an instruction in place for all matters or for matters other than special situations: Option 1 - Vote with the Board on all matters: Vote my shares in accordance with the recommendations made by the Goldman Sachs Board of Directors on all proposals. Option 2 - Vote with the Board except in special situations: Vote my shares in accordance with the recommendations made by the Goldman Sachs Board of Directors other than on: (1) any contested director election and (2) any acquisition, merger or divestiture transaction that, under applicable state law or stock exchange rules, requires approval of Goldman Sachs' shareholders. Does the Voting Instruction Program limit or change my voting rights? No! The Voting Instruction Program does not limit any shareholders' voting choices or voting rights: All shareholders - including participants in the Voting Instruction Program - will continue to receive copies of all definitive proxy statements filed by Goldman Sachs. All shareholders - including participants in the Voting Instruction Program - will continue to receive a proxy card or voting instruction form from Goldman Sachs or their bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable) in connection with any shareholder votes or any shareholders' meeting.
How do standing voting instructions work? For all shareholder votes or shareholders' meetings following your submission of a standing voting instruction, each time Goldman Sachs files a definitive proxy statement with the SEC, a proxy providing for your vote to be cast in accordance with your standing voting instruction will be immediately submitted. To this end, Goldman Sachs's vote processing agent will submit a dated proxy on your behalf that provides for your vote to be cast accordingly. Unless you wish to change your vote for that particular meeting, no action is needed to ensure your voice is heard: Even with a standing voting instruction in place, you will continue to receive copies of all definitive proxy statements filed by Goldman Sachs. You maintain the ability to vote differently on any particular proposal through the proxy card or voting instruction form that you will continue to receive from Goldman Sachs or your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable). Note that your standing voting instruction will remain effective and in place for every shareholder vote or shareholders' meeting until you change or cancel/opt out of the instruction for your account(s). You will receive an annual reminder of your standing voting instruction that will include instructions for how to change or cancel/opt out of your instruction for your account(s). Do I have to sign up for each of my accounts? Standing voting instructions are account based. If you hold your shares of Goldman Sachs stock across multiple accounts, you will receive sign up information for each account. You must separately enroll each of your accounts to include the shares of Goldman Sachs stock held in such account in the Voting Instruction Program. Why set a standing voting instruction? Free and easy way to ensure your shares are voted on important matters Vote in accordance with the Board's recommendations (with the option to override for any meeting or proposal) Change or cancel/opt out of your voting instruction for future meetings at no cost No change to your voting rights, voting choices or the information you receive Participation is voluntary Will Goldman Sachs communicate with me about my instruction? You will receive an annual reminder of your standing voting instruction that will include instructions for how to change or cancel/opt out of your instruction. If you selected the "Vote with the Board on all matters" instruction, you will also receive an additional reminder of your instruction prior to any meeting involving (1) any contested director election and (2) any acquisition, merger or divestiture transaction that, under applicable state law or stock exchange rules, requires approval of Goldman Sachs' shareholders. You will continue to receive copies of all definitive proxy statements filed by Goldman Sachs and you will continue to receive a proxy card or voting instruction form from Goldman Sachs or your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable) in connection with any shareholder vote or any shareholders' meeting. Who can participate in the Voting Instruction Program? Retail (i.e., individual) shareholders - whether shareholders of record or beneficial owners of shares held in street name - can participate in the Voting Instruction Program. Other participants in the proxy process already have the ability to put advance voting policies in place or to delegate voting to advisors and thus are not currently eligible for the Voting Instruction Program.
What if I want to change my vote? To change your vote for a particular meeting or matter: vote as normal. You will continue to receive a proxy card or voting instruction form from Goldman Sachs or your bank, broker or plan administrator (as applicable) in connection with any shareholder vote or any shareholders’ meeting. To change your vote only for a particular meeting or matter, you can use these materials to vote as normal and this vote will override your standing voting instruction. Your standing voting instruction will remain in place for future meetings. To change or cancel/opt out of your voting instruction, see details below. How can I change or cancel/opt out of my standing voting instruction? You may change or cancel/opt out of your standing voting instruction any time through this portal. We recommend you bookmark this page and/or save your program invitation to easily access this site. You will also receive an annual reminder communication that will include instructions for how to change or cancel/opt out of your instruction.
