Additional Notes

This material is provided at your request for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such a solicitation is unlawful or to any person to whom it is unlawful. Moreover, it neither constitutes an offer to enter into an investment agreement with the recipient of this document nor an invitation to respond to it by making an offer to enter into an investment agreement.

References to indices, benchmarks or other measures of relative market performance over a specified period of time are provided for your information only and do not imply that the portfolio will achieve similar results. The index composition may not reflect the manner in which a portfolio is constructed. While an adviser seeks to design a portfolio which reflects appropriate risk and return features, portfolio characteristics may deviate from those of the benchmark.

The strategy may include the use of derivatives. Derivatives often involve a high degree of financial risk because a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative and are not suitable for all investors. No representation regarding the suitability of these instruments and strategies for a particular investor is made.

Shares of the Goldman Sachs Funds are issued solely on the basis of information set out in the current Prospectus of the Goldman Sachs Funds, plc, which is available free of charge at the Funds' principal office. Prospective investors should review the Prospectus carefully and consult their financial adviser before investing to determine that an investment in the Funds would be suitable for them.

If a Fund is denominated in a currency other than that in which the majority of the investor's assets are held, the investor should be aware that changes in rates of exchange may affect the value of their investment independently of the value of the Fund's underlying assets.

Any reference to individual securities does not constitute a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold the investment. The securities mentioned herein may not continue to be held in the Funds. Goldman Sachs International and its affiliated entities, or the accounts managed by them, may have long or short positions in the securities mentioned herein.

This information does not constitute tax advice and as such, shareholders should be advised to consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of their investment activities.

Shares of the Funds have not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any state securities laws. Consequently, Shares of the Funds may not be offered or sold to or for the benefit of any United States person. Further, if you have requested information regarding the Funds while you are in the United States, you represent that (1) you are either a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Act) or (2) an "Accredited Investor" (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act). Furthermore, you agree that you will not transfer Shares of the Funds except in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the Act, and in compliance with the applicable restrictions in the Fund's governing documents.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and the value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up. Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur. Past performance is no guide to future returns. Investing in the Funds involves risks, including those arising from stock and bond markets, and currency exchange rate and interest rate volatility. Because the return and principal value of an investment in the Funds will fluctuate with changes in market conditions, an investor's Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investors may also incur a sales charge when purchasing Shares, as a result of which, in the absence of investment returns, investors will not get back the amount invested.

For Dublin domiciled Money Market Funds:

The Management company has no obligation to redeem shares at the offer value and the Funds are not subject to the supervision of the Hong Kong Monetary authority. Investment into the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by any Government agency, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, and is not the same as placing funds on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. Although the Goldman Sachs Money Market Funds seek to preserve a stable NAV per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds. The yield quotations more closely reflect the current earning of the Funds than do the total return quotations.
