IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR SHAREHOLDERS

For your convenience, the following “Questions and Answers” are a summary of, and are not intended to be as detailed as, the discussion found in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement for Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (the “Joint Proxy Statement”). The information in this “Questions and Answers” section is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Proxy Statement. We encourage you to carefully review the information contained in the Joint Proxy Statement.

General

 

Q.

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

 

A.

You are receiving these proxy materials, which includes the Notice of Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (“Notice”), the Joint Proxy Statement and your proxy card(s) and/or voting instruction form(s), because you have the right to notice of, and to vote on, an important governance matter concerning the Goldman Sachs Trust II (“GS Trust II”), Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (“GSETF Trust”), Goldman Sachs MLP and Energy Renaissance FundETF Trust II (“MLP Fund”GSETF Trust II”) and, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (“Real Estate Fund”), Goldman Sachs Trust (“GS Trust”), Goldman Sachs Trust II (“GS Trust II”) and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GS VIT”) (collectively, the “Funds”). In particular, you are being asked to consider and act upon the Proposal (defined below), which requires shareholder approval.

The Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Boards,” and the members thereof, the “Trustees”) separately determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund(s) under their respective oversight to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards so that all of the Funds are overseen by the same Trustees. Accordingly, the Boards have proposed the election of nominees (the “Nominees”) to the Boards (the “Proposal”) as discussed below.

The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II currently consists of fourthe same six Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of each of the Goldman Sachs Trust IIapplicable Funds, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the “1940 Act”)) (the “GS Trust II“ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees”) and) as well as James A. McNamara, who is an employee of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), an affiliateInterested Trustee of the Funds’ investment adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P (“GSAM” or the “Investment Adviser”).applicable Funds. The Board of each of the GSETFGS Trust the MLP Fund and the Real Estate FundGS VIT also currently consists of the same threeseven Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of each(the “GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees”) as well as Mr. McNamara, an Interested Trustee of the GSETF Trust, the MLP Fund and the Real Estate Fund as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “ETF/MLP/RE Independent Trustees”) and Mr. McNamara. applicable Funds.

In order to bring the memberships of the Boards into alignment, (i) the GST/GS Trust IIVIT Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, the MLPGSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and the Real Estate Fund;GS Trust II; and (ii) the ETF/MLP/REETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of the GS Trust II. In addition, one current Independent Trusteeeach of the GS Trust II and oneGS VIT. In addition, three current GST/GS VIT Independent Trustee of the GSETF Trust,Trustees, who were previously appointed by other Independent Trustees to their respectivethose Boards rather than elected by shareholders, have been nominated for election to continue to serve as Trustees on suchthose Boards. Electing these three current GST/GS VIT Independent Trustees would give the applicable Board additional flexibility in the future to appoint a limited number of additional new Trustees, if necessary, without incurring the costs of holding one or more expensive shareholder meetings.

The Boards believe that this alignment and consolidation through the election of all of the Nominees would be beneficial to the Funds and their shareholders. If elected by shareholders, the Nominees would begin serving as Trustees of the applicable Board on January 1, 2024.

 

Q.

Why am I being asked to vote?

 

A.

As of August 23, 202121, 2023 (the “Record Date”), the record date fixed by the Boards, you were a shareholder of record of one or more of the Funds listed inwithin the attachment to the accompanying Notice.Goldman Sachs registered fund complex. The Proposal requires the approval of shareholders of the Funds.


Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries of variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies having separate accounts that invest in shares of one or more of the Funds within GS VIT who are entitled to give voting instructions in connection with their variable contracts with respect to the Proposal are referred to herein as “shareholders” with respect to such Fund(s).

After careful consideration, each Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Fund(s) under its oversight vote “FOR” the Proposal (the election of each applicable Nominee).Nominee.


Q.

Why am I being asked to elect each of the Nominees as Trustees?

 

A.

Each of the Nominees either currently serves as a GST/GS Trust IIVIT Independent TrusteesTrustee or an ETF/MLP/REETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustee. The election of the Nominees is part of the intended alignment and consolidation of the Boards. If shareholders approve the Proposal, the membership of each of the BoardBoards will be as follows:

(i) the current Trustees of the Boards of the GS Trust II and GSETF Trust, who were appointed to such Boards by other Independent Trustees of the respective Boards rather than elected by shareholders, will continue to serve on such Boards;

(iii) the membership of the Board of each of the GS Trust and GS VIT will be expanded to include the six ETF/ETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees; and

the membership of the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II will be expanded to include the three ETF/MLP/RE Independent Trustees; and

(ii) the membership of the Board of each the GSETF Trust, the MLP Fund and the Real Estate Fund will be expanded to include the four seven GST/GS Trust IIVIT Independent Trustees.

Each Nominee would not be deemed to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the 1940 Act, of any of the Funds. Mr. McNamara would be considered an “interested person” of each Fund because he holds positions with Goldman Sachs an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, and owns securities issued by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Election of all of the Nominees will bring the membership of the Boards into alignment. This alignment and consolidation would provide an opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits as described in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement.

 

Q.

Why have the Boards approved the Proposal (the election of each applicable Nominee)?

 

A.

At a meeting held on July 22, 2021 (with respect toEach of the GSETF Trust, the MLP Fund and the Real Estate Fund) and on August 10-11, 2021 (with respect to the GS Trust II), the Boards unanimously determined that the board realignment and consolidation could provide benefits to shareholders of the Fund(s) under their respective oversight. Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex and GSAM.Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P (“GSAM” or the “Investment Adviser”). In addition, the Boards have had the opportunity to meet with GSAM representatives and communicated with each ofother to consider and develop the Nominees.Proposal. In particular, the Boards considered:

 

1)

that each Fund would benefit from the additional experience, insights and oversight from the election of the Nominees that are not currently members of its Board;

that each Fund would benefit from the additional experience, insights and oversight from the election of the Nominees that are not currently members of its Board;

 

2)

that each of the Nominees has significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing investment companies;

that each of the Nominees has significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing investment companies;

 

3)

that GSAM bears certain operational and administrative burdens from supporting multiple boards for currently overseeing the Funds, and the formation of a single, consolidated board would ease these burdens and enable GSAM to focus greater resources and time on providing services to the Funds;

that a single, consolidated Board would reduce GSAM’s administrative and operational efforts in supporting multiple Boards and enable GSAM to focus greater resources and time on providing services to the Funds;

 

4)

that the consolidated Boards with increased skill sets, backgrounds and depth of experience with all types of fund within the Goldman Sachs fund complex would be better positioned to respond to the increasing complexities of the registered fund business;

that a single, consolidated Board with increased skill sets, backgrounds and depth of experience with all types of funds within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex would be better positioned to respond to the increasing complexities of the registered fund business;

 

5)

that (i) GSAM will

that GSAM has agreed to bear a portion of the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, including up to $150,000 in legal expenses and up to $500,000 in all other costs, and (ii) to the extent the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation (up to $2,100,000). Each Fund will be allocated its respective share of the remaining costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, with fixed costs allocated to the Funds equally and certain variable costs (e.g., costs of printing and mailing) allocated to the Funds on a pro rata basis based on the number of shareholders of each Fund. In addition, for Funds subject to an expense reimbursement arrangement, GSAM will reimburse the costs associated with the board


realignment and consolidation to be borne by a Fundthe extent needed to ensure that no Fund’s allocated costs would increase such Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%, GSAM. In no event will reimburse such Fund in an amount equal to the portion ofallocated costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation increase in thea Fund’s total expense ratio that is aboveby more than 0.004%;

that a single, consolidated Board would facilitate succession planning efforts of the Boards and alleviate the costs of identifying and onboarding new Board members in the future, who may have potentially less experience overseeing funds, including those managed by GSAM; and

that a single governance platform would reduce the costs and complexity of potential Fund conversions and reorganizations within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex overseen by the Boards.

Q.

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds within the GS Trust and GS VIT, why am I being asked to elect three incumbent Nominees as Trustees?

 

6)A.

thatWhile a Board can ordinarily appoint new Trustees without a shareholder vote, the recent retirementBoard cannot do so if, after such appointment, fewer than two-thirds of a Trustee of the GSETF Trust,Trustees would have been elected by shareholders. By electing the MLP Fund and the Real Estate Fund, along with the desire of the Boardthree incumbent Nominees of the GS Trust II to add a new Trustee,and GS VIT that were not previously elected by shareholders, the applicable Boards would have requiredadditional flexibility in the future to appoint a limited number of additional new Trustees, if necessary, without incurring the costs of holding one or more expensive shareholder meetings. Accordingly, the Boards of the GS Trust and GS VIT believe this is an appropriate time for the incumbent Trustees that were previously appointed (rather than elected) to identify and nominate Board membersstand for election, resulting in associated costs and expenses of that nomination and election process and the need to onboard new Board members with potentially less experience overseeing funds, including those managed by GSAM.election.


The factors considered by the Boards in approving the Proposal are described further in the section entitled “Summary of the Reasons for the Board Alignment and Consolidation.”

The Board of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund and GS Trust II currently consists of fourthe same six Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of GS Trust IIthe applicable Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “GS Trust II Independent Trustees”) and James A.as well as Mr. McNamara, who is an employee of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), an affiliate of the Funds’ investment adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P (“GSAM” or the “Investment Adviser”).Interested Trustee. The Board of each of the GSETFGS Trust the MLP Fund and the Real Estate FundGS VIT also currently consists of the same threeseven Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of each of the GSETF Trust, the MLP Fund and the Real Estate Fund as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “ETF/MLP/RE Independent Trustees”) and Mr. McNamara.well as James A. McNamara, an Interested Trustee. In order to bring the memberships of the Boards into alignment, (i) the GST/GS Trust IIVIT Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of each of the GSETF Trust, the MLP and theGSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund;Fund and GS Trust II; and (ii) the ETF/MLP/REETFII/RE/GSTII Independent Trustees have been nominated for election to the Board of the GS Trust II. In addition, one current Independent Trusteeeach of the GS Trust II (Mr. Krichmar) and oneGS VIT. In addition, three current Independent TrusteeTrustees of the GS ETF Trust (Ms. Lang)and GS VIT (Mr. Chou, Ms. Dowling and Mr. Wirth), who were previously appointed by other Independent Trustees to their respective Boardsthe Board rather than elected by shareholders, have been nominated for election to continue to serve as Trustees on such Boards.the Board.

As further explained below, the election of all of the Nominees will bring the membership of the Boards into alignment. This alignment and consolidation would provide the opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits as described in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement.

The Boards separately determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund(s) under their respective oversight to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards so that all of the Funds are overseen by the same Trustees.

Summary of the Reasons for the Board Alignment and Consolidation

The Proposal is the result of an effort on the part of the Boards and GSAM to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards so that the same Trustees serve on each board for the Funds, in order to further enhance the effectiveness of board oversight. The Trustees met each other and with GSAM representatives and communicated with each other to consider and develop the Proposal to align and consolidate the membership of the Boards. The Independent Trustees also met with their independent legal counsel to consider and discuss matters relating to the alignment and consolidation of the Boards.

 

67


In reaching the conclusion that the approval of the Proposal is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, the Boards took into account the recommendation of GSAM, and considered a number of factors, including the following:

 

1)

that each Fund would benefit from the additional experience, insights and oversight from the election of the Nominees that are not currently members of its Board;

 

2)

that each of the Nominees has significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing investment companies;

 

3)

that GSAM bears certain operational and administrative burdens from supporting multiple boards for currently overseeing the Funds, and the formation of a single, consolidated boardBoard would ease these burdensreduce GSAM’s administrative and operational efforts in supporting multiple Boards and enable GSAM to focus greater resources and time on providing services to the Funds;

 

4)

that thea single, consolidated BoardsBoard with increased skill sets, backgrounds and depth of experience with all types of fundfunds within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex would be better positioned to respond to the increasing complexities of the registered fund business;

 

5)

that (i) GSAM willhas agreed to bear a portion of the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation including up(up to $150,000 in legal expenses$2,100,000). Each Fund will be allocated its respective share of the remaining costs associated with the board realignment and up to $500,000 in all otherconsolidation, with fixed costs and (ii)allocated to the extentFunds equally and certain variable costs (e.g., costs of printing and mailing) allocated to the Funds on a pro rata basis based on the number of shareholders of each Fund. In addition, for Funds subject to an expense reimbursement arrangement, GSAM will reimburse the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation to be borne by a Fundthe extent needed to ensure that no Fund’s allocated costs would increase such Fund’s total expense ratio by more than 0.004%, GSAM. In no event will reimburse such Fund in an amount equal to the portion ofallocated costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation increase in thea Fund’s total expense ratio that is aboveby more than 0.004%; and

 

6)

that the recent retirement of a Trusteesingle, consolidated Board would facilitate succession planning efforts of the GSETF Trust,Boards and alleviate the MLP Fundcosts of identifying and the Real Estate Fund, along with the desire of the Board of the GS Trust II to add a new Trustee, would have required the Boards to identify and nominate Board members for election, resulting in associated costs and expenses of that nomination and election process and the need to onboardonboarding new Board members within the future, who may have potentially less experience overseeing funds, including those managed by GSAM.GSAM; and

that a single governance platform would reduce the costs and complexity of potential Fund conversions and reorganizations within the Goldman Sachs registered fund complex overseen by the Boards.

Information concerning the Nominees and other relevant factors is provided below. Using the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form or voting by the Internet or by telephone, a shareholder may authorize proxies to vote his or her shares for the Nominees or may withhold from the proxies authority to vote his or her shares for one or more of the Nominees. If the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form is properly executed and received prior to the Meeting (and has not been revoked) but no instructions are marked, the proxies will vote “FOR” the Nominees. Each of the Nominees has consented to his or her nomination and has agreed to serve if elected. If, at the time of the Meeting, for any reason, any Nominee is not available for election or able to serve as a Trustee, the proxies will exercise their voting power in favor of such substitute Nominee, if any, as the Trustees may designate. The Funds have no reason to believe that it will be necessary to designate a substitute Nominee. Each Fund proposes the election by all of its respective shareholders of the Nominees named in the table below to serve as members of its Board.

Each Governance and Nominating Committee considered each Nominee, including his or her qualifications and experience, selected each Nominee and recommended each individual’s nomination to its respective Board. Based on this recommendation, each of the Boards have recommended for election by shareholders each of the Nominees to such Board.

The Audit Committee has: (a) reviewed and discussed the Fund’s audited financial statements with the management of the Fund; (b) discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC; and (c) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditor the auditor’s independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management or internal control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the Fund’s independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the discussions referred to above with management and the Fund’s independent auditor, and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the charter and those discussed above, the Audit Committee of the Fund recommended to the Board that the Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020.

Each of GSAM and the other service providers, including sub-advisers, have their own independent interest in risk management and their policies and methods of risk management may differ from the Funds and each other’s in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result, the Boards recognize that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Funds or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects, and that some risks are simply beyond the control of the Funds or GSAM, their respective affiliates or other service providers, including sub-advisers.

Each Board effectuates its oversight role primarily through regular and special meetings of the Board and Board committees. In certain cases, risk management issues are specifically addressed in reports, presentations and discussions. For example, on an annual basis, GSAM (or personnel from GSAM) will provide the Boards with written reports that address the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of each Fund’s liquidity risk management and derivatives risk management programs, which are generally designed to assess and manage liquidity risk, and for Full Compliance Funds (as defined in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act), derivatives risk. In addition, investment risk is discussed in the context of regular presentations to each Board on Fund strategy and performance. Other types of risk are addressed as part of presentations on related topics (e.g., compliance policies) or in the context of presentations focused specifically on one or more risks. On an annual basis, GSAM will provide the Boards with a written report that addresses the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the liquidity risk management program with respect to the Open-End Funds, which is designed to assess and manage the Open-End Funds’ liquidity risk. The Boards also receive reports from GSAM management on operational risks, reputational risks and counterparty risks relating to the Funds.

Board oversight of risk management is also performed by various Board committees. For example, the Audit Committees meet with both the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm and GSAM’s internal audit group to review risk controls in place that support the Funds as well as test results, and the Compliance Committees meets with the CCO and representatives of GSAM’s compliance group to review testing results of the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures and other compliance issues. Board oversight of risk is also performed as needed between meetings through communications between the GSAM and each Board. Each Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight. Each Board’s oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the investments or activities of the Fund(s) under its oversight.activities.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the FundFunds

The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policies adopted by the Audit Committees of the Boards of the GS Trust II, the GSETF Trust, the MLP Fund and/or the Real Estate Fund (the “Policies”) set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for the Funds may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by an Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by its Audit Committee Chair or the person designated as the

38


audit committee financial expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the applicable Policy. Each Policy provides that the applicable Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. Each Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the applicable Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of each Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the applicable Fund(s) at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the applicable Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by such Audit Committee or by one or more members of such Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by such Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of its Policy.

Pre-Approval of  Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds’ Investment Advisers. The Policies provide that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds, the Audit Committees will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund.

Each Audit Committee has considered these fees and the nature of the services rendered, and has concluded that they are compatible with maintaining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Each Audit Committee did not approve any of the audit-related, tax, or other non-audit fees described above pursuant to the de“de minimis exceptions” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not provide any audit-related services, tax services or other non-audit services

32


to GSAM or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services toS-X during the Fund(s) under its oversight that such Audit Committee was required to approve pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.Funds’ two most recent applicable fiscal years. Each Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to GSAM and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s) under its oversight that were not pre-approved by such Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directlypursuant to the operations and financial reportingRule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of such Fund(s) Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence.

Required Vote

Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share held and a fractional vote proportionate to fractional shares held as of the Record Date.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II the GSETF Trust and the Real Estate Fund,GS VIT, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders owning shares representing one-third (1/3) or more of the total combined shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting. For the MLP Fund, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders owning shares representing a majority or more of the total combined shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II the GSETF Trust and the Real Estate Fund,GS VIT, when a quorum is present, a plurality of the shares voted shall elect a Nominee as Trustee. For the MLP Fund, when a quorum is present, a majority of the shares voted shall elect a Nominee as Trustee.

Cumulative voting is not permitted. If a proxy card is properly executed and returned accompanied by instructions to withhold authority, the shares represented thereby will be considered to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will not be counted in favor of the Proposal.

For each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, GS Trust, GS Trust II and GSETF Trust,GS VIT, the Proposal applies on a Trust-wide basis, and all series (i.e., the respective Funds) and classes thereof will vote together on the Proposal. However, the vote on the Proposal or the election of a Nominee by the shareholders of each of the GSETF Trust, GSETF Trust II, Real Estate Fund, GS Trust, GS Trust II the GSETF Trust, the MLP Fund or the Real Estate Fundand GS VIT will not affect the Proposal or the election of a Nominee with respect to the other TrustsFunds. If elected by shareholders, the Nominees would begin serving as Trustees of the applicable Board on January 1, 2024.

39


With respect to GS VIT, Life Companies that use shares of a Fund as funding media for its variable contracts will vote shares of the Fund held by its Accounts in accordance with the instructions received from variable contract holders. The Life Companies will also vote shares attributable to variable contracts as to which proxy cards or Funds.voting instruction forms are neither executed nor returned in proportion (“for” or “withhold authority”) to those shares for which instructions are received, even in instances where a broker would be prevented from exercising discretion. As a result, a small number of variable contract holders could determine the outcome of the vote if other variable contract holders fail to vote. A Life Company whose separate account invests in a Fund will vote shares held by its general account and its subsidiaries in the same proportion as other votes cast by its Accounts in the aggregate.

Brokers who hold shares in street name for customers have discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals, such as the election of Trustees, when they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners of those shares. Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present, and thereby included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will not be treated as a vote cast. Abstentions (which are treated as shares present and entitled to vote) will have the same effect as a vote “against” the Proposal.

If at the time the Meeting is called to order a quorum is not present in person or by proxy, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of the Proposal have not been received, the Meeting may be adjourned to a later date by the chair of the meeting, or by a vote of shareholders. In the event of a shareholder vote on adjournment, any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of a Trust or a Fund present in person or by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal in favor of such an adjournment, and will vote those proxies required to be voted against the Proposal against any such adjournment. Abstentions effectively will be a vote “against” adjournment. Subject to the foregoing, the Meeting may be adjourned and re-adjourned without further notice to shareholders. However, if, after adjournment, a new record date is fixed for

33


the adjourned meeting, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to Shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

If the Nominees are not elected, the Trustees will continue to oversee their respective Funds.

The Boards’ Recommendation

EACH BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND(S) UNDER ITS OVERIGHT VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL (ELECTION OF EACH NOMINEE)

Goldman Sachs Listed Closed-End Funds3 Audit Committee Charter

Organization and Purpose

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund has established an Audit Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of each of the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Independent Trustees are those Trustees who meet the independence standards set forth in the Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee Charter and who do not receive, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Fund except compensation for service as a member of the Board or a committee of the Board.

The Committee has been established by and among the Trustees for the purpose of, among other things as set forth below, assisting the Board with oversight of (1) the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, (2) the

This charter shall apply to any listed closed-end management investment company (a “Fund”) managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) or an affiliated person of GSAM, as listed in Schedule A of this charter.

A-9


Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of the Fund’s internal audit function and independent auditor, and (5) preparation of the Audit Committee report required to be included in the Fund’s proxy statement.

Each member of the Committee must be financially literate, or become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee, as such qualification is interpreted by the Fund’s Board in its business judgment. The Committee’s composition shall meet such other regulatory requirements relating to audit committees established from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and any other applicable governmental entity or self-regulatory organization or law to which the Fund is subject. The Board, with the assistance of the Committee, shall determine whether any member of the Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” (“ACFE”) as defined by the applicable regulations of the SEC, and the Board may presume that the ACFE satisfies the financial literacy requirement. The Committee will select one of its members to be its chair. If a member simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, the Board must determine that such simultaneous service will not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Committee, and must disclose such determination either on or through the Fund’s website, in its annual proxy statement, or in the Fund’s annual report.4

The Committee will set its agenda and the places and times of its meetings. The greater of one-third or two members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Committee shall act by a vote of a majority of the Committee members at a Committee meeting, including a meeting held by conference telephone, teleconference or other electronic media or communication equipment, or by written consent of a majority of the Committee members without a meeting. Any written consent or waiver may be provided and delivered to the Committee chair by e-mail, facsimile or other similar electronic mechanism.

Statement of Policy

The Committee shall oversee the audit process and provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in overseeing financial reporting. The Committee will also assist the Board with the oversight of the Fund’s compliance with regulatory requirements that relate to the fund accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits. In so doing, the Committee will endeavor to facilitate free and open means of communication among the Fund’s Trustees, independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”), and management. A primary objective of the Committee is to help set the “tone at the top” for quality financial reporting and a sound system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Committee will regularly report its activities, observations, and recommendations to the Board. The Committee’s activities and effectiveness will be assessed periodically and reviewed with the Board.

Summary of Responsibilities

The function of the Committee is oversight. Management of the Fund (“Management”) is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Fund’s financial statements. Management draws upon different parts of the Goldman Sachs corporate structure in fulfilling this role—the Controllers department (within the Finance Division) and the Operations Division (working in conjunction with GSAM Global Fund Services) are responsible for applying appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and maintaining policies and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable laws and regulations. In fulfilling its role under this Charter, Management also delegates certain functions to the Fund’s accounting and tax agents, but remains responsible for those functions. The independent auditor for the Fund is responsible for planning and executing audits consistent with applicable professional standards and in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter(s). The independent auditor will report directly to the Committee. The Committee shall provide for appropriate funding for the payment of compensation to the
