April 18, 2017 Re: Reporting Requirements for ERISA Plans under Schedule C of Form 5500 Dear Client: Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the final regulations issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) requiring expanded disclosure by ERISA plans of compensation received by its service providers on Schedule C of the Form 5500. We understand that you have some questions regarding how Goldman Sachs expects to provide the information requested by ERISA clients in order for them to satisfy their reporting requirements under the Form 5500 with respect to their investments in Goldman Sachs investment funds (“Goldman Sachs Funds”). For the 2009 plan year and beyond, we are generally referring clients who request information regarding indirect compensation, eligible indirect compensation and direct compensation (within the meaning of the DOL regulations) received by Goldman Sachs in connection with the Goldman Sachs Funds to the existing regulatory disclosure applicable to the Funds (e.g., Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, and Annual Report). These disclosure documents are available at www.gs/com/funds. While we believe that the existing disclosure for the Goldman Sachs Funds should be adequate to meet the eligible indirect compensation alternative reporting option for compensation received by Goldman Sachs, you should review the disclosures, along with the Form 5500 requirements, with your counsel and contact us if you believe you require additional information. Should you have any further questions in connection with this matter, please contact your Client Relationship Manager. We thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Goldman, Sachs & Co. 200 West Street, 37 th Floor New York, NY 10282
