FIRMWIDE POLICY: INSIDER TRADING POLICY GOVERNING TRANSACTIONS IN GS SECURITIES BY COVERED PERSONS
state securities laws and this policy, no Firm Individual who is in possession of material nonpublic information related to the firm, may (i) trade in any GS Securities, or securities issued by another company, on the basis of material nonpublic information or (ii) “tip” any material nonpublic information to another person who may use such information to trade in GS Securities or such other company’s securities.
2.Material Nonpublic Information
iDetermining Materiality
Whether a piece of information is material depends on the facts and circumstances in which it is created and distributed.
Information is typically deemed “material” if:
There is substantial likelihood that it would be viewed by a reasonable investor as important in making an investment decision;
Its disclosure would be viewed by a reasonable investor as having significantly altered the total mix of information otherwise available; or
It is information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of a security.
Both favorable and unfavorable information can be material. However, there is no precise definition of “materiality,” and the question of whether information is material is subjective and may be questioned in hindsight. Accordingly, Firm Individuals are advised to take a cautious view when evaluating whether information is “material.” Note that information may be considered material even if it relates to contingent, uncertain, or rumored events. Some examples of “material information” may include, depending on the particular circumstances:
Potential merger and acquisition activities;
Potential public offerings or other financings;
Financial forecasts or projections;
Significant changes in management; and
Significant product developments. This list is intended to be illustrative only and is not exhaustive. Many other types of information may be material at any particular time depending upon the circumstances.
ii. Determining Whether Information is Nonpublic

“Nonpublic information” is information that is not available to the public about an entity or its securities, loans, certificates of deposit, partnership interests, certificates of participation, investment contracts and trade claims, as well as any securities- or loan-based swaps or derivatives or other instruments that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or the value of which is affected or dependent upon the value of, such instruments (whether physically or cash settled).
Information is typically considered nonpublic until it has been disseminated to the financial marketplace and sufficient time has elapsed to allow the markets to absorb and evaluate the information. Examples of public dissemination include: public filing of a press release or disclosure

Publication Date: December 18, 2024        Page 3 of 13


FIRMWIDE POLICY: INSIDER TRADING POLICY GOVERNING TRANSACTIONS IN GS SECURITIES BY COVERED PERSONS
to a regulatory authority, and official statement widely distributed to the media (e.g., a statement to the media by an authorized senior executive).
Press speculation and/or market rumors about nonpublic information do not constitute adequate dissemination of such information.
3.Consequences of Violations
Violations of the insider trading laws can carry both criminal and civil penalties. Potential legal penalties include liability for the firm and for Firm Individuals. For an individual, insider trading may result in criminal penalties, including fines, jail time or both, and the Securities and Exchange Commission has the authority to seek civil monetary penalties. Private parties may also bring civil actions seeking damages against any person purchasing or selling a security while in the possession of material, nonpublic information. In addition, violations of this policy may lead to closure of the applicable account, the voiding or reversal of the relevant transaction (and the violator is responsible for any losses, costs or expenses arising in connection with such voiding or reversal), as well as disciplinary actions, up to and including termination.
D.General Rules Applicable to Covered Persons
E.
