Evidence from the filing

  • The JSE has granted a listing for the GS170C instrument, expanding the available structured product offerings under the Series P Programme.

    “The JSE Limited has granted a listing to Goldman Sachs International under the Series P Programme for the issuance of Warrants, Notes and Certificates on the Main Board with effect from 10 April 2026.”

  • The issuance of ZAR 100,000,000.00 in nominal value reflects active capital market participation and liquidity provision by the issuer.

    “Nominal Amount ZAR100,000,000.00.”

  • The instrument creates a five-year exposure to Impala Platinum Holdings Limited, subjecting holders to the long-term operational and commodity price risks inherent in the platinum sector until the 2031 maturity date.

    “The ordinary shares of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Bloomberg page: IMP SJ Equity; Reuters screen: IMPJ.J; ISIN: ZAE000083648)”

  • The reliance on an external 'Applicable Pricing Supplement' for the specific terms of the note limits immediate transparency for investors regarding the exact payoff mechanics and potential downside protection, if any, of the GS170C instrument.
