Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) retained Ernst & Young LLC (“EY”) to provide tax advice relating to the Goldman Sachs Fund Remediation, including regarding its information return reporting and withholding obligations. In addition, EY prepared the “Statement to Impacted Investors,” or SII, and the “Additional IRA Considerations”, that can be viewed below. NOTE: The SII and Additional IRA Considerations are not, and are not intended to be, tax advice to the impacted investors. The SII and the Additional IRA Considerations does describe the tax reporting positions taken by the Goldman Sachs Fund Remediation and points out some issues eligible claimants may wish to consider, along with their tax advisors.

NOTE: You should consult with your tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the distribution payment, including the effects of U.S. Federal, State, Local, and Non-U.S. tax rules and the effect of possible changes in laws.
