U.S. banking regulators have incorporated the Basel 2 framework into the existing <font style="white-space: nowrap">risk-based</font> capital requirements by requiring that internationally active banking organizations, such as Group Inc., transition to Basel 2 following the successful completion of a parallel run. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> In addition, the Basel Committee has undertaken a program of substantial revisions to its capital guidelines. In particular, the changes in the “Basel 2.5” guidelines will result in increased capital requirements for market risk; additionally, the Basel 3 guidelines issued by the Basel Committee in December 2010 revise the definition of Tier 1 capital, introduce Tier 1 common equity as a regulatory metric, set new minimum capital ratios (including a new “capital conservation buffer,” which must be composed exclusively of Tier 1 common equity and will be in addition to the other capital ratios), introduce a Tier 1 leverage ratio within international guidelines for the first time, and make substantial revisions to the computation of <font style="white-space: nowrap">risk-weighted</font> assets for credit exposures. Implementation of the new requirements is expected to take place over an extended transition period, starting at the end of 2011 (for Basel 2.5) and end of 2012 (for Basel 3). Although the U.S. federal banking agencies have now issued proposed rules that are intended to implement certain aspects of the Basel 2.5 guidelines, they have not yet addressed all aspects of those guidelines or the Basel 3 changes. In addition, both the Basel Committee and U.S. banking regulators implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) have indicated that they will impose more stringent capital standards on systemically important financial institutions. Although the criteria for treatment as a systemically important financial institution have not yet been determined, it is probable that they will apply to the firm. Therefore, the regulations ultimately applicable to the firm may be substantially different from those that have been published to date. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> The Dodd-Frank Act will subject the firm at a firmwide level to the same leverage and <font style="white-space: nowrap">risk-based</font> capital requirements that apply to depository institutions and directs banking regulators to impose additional capital requirements as disclosed above. The Federal Reserve Board will be required to begin implementing the new leverage and <font style="white-space: nowrap">risk-based</font> capital regulation by January 2012. As a consequence of these changes, Tier 1 capital treatment for the firm’s junior subordinated debt issued to trusts will be phased out over a three-year period beginning on January 1, 2013. The interaction between the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel Committee’s proposed changes adds further uncertainty to the firm’s future capital requirements. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> A number of other governmental entities and regulators, including the U.S. Treasury, the European Union and the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority (FSA), have also proposed or announced changes which will result in increased capital requirements for financial institutions. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> As a consequence of these developments, the firm expects minimum capital ratios required to be maintained under Federal Reserve Board regulations will be increased and changes in the prescribed calculation methodology are expected to result in higher RWAs and lower capital ratios than those currently computed. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> The capital requirements of several of the firm’s subsidiaries will also be impacted in the future by the various proposals from the Basel Committee, the Dodd-Frank Act, and other governmental entities and regulators. </div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <!-- XBRL Pagebreak Begin --> <div align="center" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> </div> </div> <!-- END PAGE WIDTH --> <!-- PAGEBREAK --> <div style="margin-left: 0%"> <!-- BEGIN PAGE WIDTH --> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="center" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <b> <font style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica"> </font> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="center" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <b> <font style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica"> </font> </b> </div> <div align="center" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <b> <font style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica"> </font> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <!-- XBRL Pagebreak End --> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <b><font style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica">Bank Subsidiaries</font></b> </div> <div align="left" style="text-align:justify; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> GS Bank USA, an FDIC-insured, New York State-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC, is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and the New York State Banking Department and is subject to minimum capital requirements (described further below) that are calculated in a manner similar to those applicable to bank holding companies. GS Bank USA computes its capital ratios in accordance with the regulatory capital guidelines currently applicable to state member banks, which are based on Basel 1 as implemented by the Federal Reserve Board, for purposes of assessing the adequacy of its capital. In order to be considered a “well-capitalized” depository institution under the Federal Reserve Board guidelines, GS Bank USA must maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of at least 10% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5%. In November 2008, the firm contributed subsidiaries into GS Bank USA. In connection with this contribution, GS Bank USA agreed with the Federal Reserve Board to minimum capital ratios in excess of these “well-capitalized” levels. Accordingly, for a period of time, GS Bank USA is expected to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8%, a total capital ratio of at least 11% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 6%. </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt;
