INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to provide our clients and counterparties with information regarding TARGET2-Securities (T2S) and the settlement of securities transactions with Goldman Sachs (GS); within the respective markets impacted in Wave 3. This document also includes Goldman Sachs' Standard Settlement Instructions (SSIs) for Wave 3. T2S is intended to create opportunities for
European post-trade harmonization, efficiency and enhanced settlement processing.
SUMMARY OF T2S• T2S is a European Central Bank (ECB) led initiative to create a harmonized securities settlement
platform for the Euro markets
• T2S provides settlement in Euro central bank money for the majority of securities across Europe
• T2S is a technical platform that connects existing European Central Securities Depositories (CSD) and performs the settlement processing function
T2S MIGRATION SCHEDULE
T2S is being implemented in 5 Waves from June 2015 until September 2017. Wave 1 went live in two stages in June and August 2015, Wave 2 went live in March 2016. Wave 3 is scheduled to go live on September 12, 2016 subject to ECB and respective CSD readiness. The overall schedule for the T2S program is as follows:

KEY FEATURES OF T2S & GOLDMAN SACHS' APPROACH
T2S has introduced a set of harmonized settlement features, which will replace the existing market features as each Wave is implemented. There are a range of mandatory and optional features to manage settlement in T2S.
The table below provides a description of the key features and outlines the approach that Goldman Sachs is taking for each. For further information, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions on pages 8 & 9.
Feature Description T2S Optional/Mandatory
Additional Comments
Settlement Day Schedule
Two standardized settlement windows (times in CET):
• Night-time: 20:00 (SD-1) – 03:00 (SD)
• Real-time: 05:00 – 16:00 (DVP)/18:00 (FOP) (SD)
Mandatory Settlement instructions must be matched in T2S by 18:45 (SD-1) to be eligible for Night-time settlement.
CET: Central European Time
SD: Settlement Date
DVP: Delivery-versus-Payment
FOP: Free-of-Payment
Cash Tolerance
Two-tiered cash matching tolerance:
• €25 for transactions with cash counter value > €100,000
• €2 for transactions with cash counter value ≤ €100,000
Mandatory GS will adopt this new standard.
Recycling Recycling of an instruction is dependent on its state:
• Matched instructions are auto-recycled indefinitely unless bilaterally canceled
• Unmatched instructions are canceled 20 T2S business days after the intended settlement date or the date of the last status change
Mandatory GS will adopt this new standard.
Bilateral Cancelation
Cancelation of an instruction is dependent on its state:
• Matched instructions must be canceled bilaterally by both counterparties
• Unmatched instructions can be canceled unilaterally by the party who placed the instruction at any time or until canceled by T2S
Mandatory GS will adopt this new standard.
BIC11 T2S mandates the use of 11-digit BIC codes for messaging, including Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI)
Mandatory Clients and counterparties are required to provide BIC11 compliant SSIs.
BIC: Bank Identifier Code
Place of Settlement & Place of Safekeeping
T2S allows for simplified cross-border settlement and supports the Investor CSD model. Where the Investor CSD model is used, settlement instructions are required to include both the Place of Settlement and Place of Safekeeping BIC11 codes.
Mandatory Clients and counterparties are required to provide BIC11 compliant SSIs, including Place of Settlement and Place of Safekeeping details.
Standard Settlement Instructions
New Party 1 BIC11 codes (CSD participant), Party 2 BIC11 codes (client of CSD participant) and Securities Account (SAC) numbers may be required for participants migrating to T2S.
Mandatory Clients and counterparties are required to provide BIC11 compliant SSIs in advance of any changes.

5Implementing TARGET2-Securities (T2S) August 2016
Feature Description T2S Optional/Mandatory
Additional Comments
Auto-partial Automatic partial settlement of matched instructions, using available inventory to reduce risk and increase settlement liquidity. The four options for auto-partial are:
• Auto-partial not allowed
• Auto-partial allowed, with cash threshold
• Auto-partial allowed, with quantity threshold
• Auto-partial allowed, no threshold
Optional Instructions will only be in eligible for auto-partial settlement if both parties have opted-in. GS will opt-in for auto-partial settlement with quantity threshold of 1, except for Securities Lending activity.
Prioritization Four levels for prioritization of settlement instructions:
• Level 1: CSD/National Central Bank operations only
• Level 2: Trading Platform/Central Counterparty activity only
• Level 3: High priority (defined by participant)
• Level 4: Default priority (defined by participant)
Optional GS will adopt this new standard.
Hold & Release Hold & Release in T2S has two behaviors:
• Hold: A function to send a settlement instruction to T2S for matching but preventing settlement
• Release: A function to send a settlement instruction to T2S for matching and settlement
Optional GS will not use Hold & Release directly, however our local agent banks may manage this process on our behalf. GS will send all instructions in ‘release’ status to its agent banks GS will not offer Hold & Release capabilities to clients.
Linking The Linking functionality allows for interdependencies between two or more settlement instructions. This can based on (but not limited to):
• Nature (i.e. before, after, with and pool reference)
• Origin (i.e. re-alignment and substitution)
• Multiplicity (i.e. 1-to-1, 1-to-Many, Many-to-Many)
• Other references (i.e. common identification, reference to related message)
Optional GS will not be linking settlement instructions.
Additional Matching Fields
Additional matching fields will be used to indicate corporate action attributes on an instruction:
• Opt-out ISO transaction condition indicator
• CUM/EX indicator
Optional See page 6 for further details.
Optional Matching Fields
Optional matching fields provide new matching criteria for instruction matching:
• Common trade reference
• Client of delivering CSD participant
• Client of receiving CSD participant
• Securities account of delivering party
• Securities account of receiving party
Optional See page 6 for further details.

T2S MATCHING FIELDS
Further to the existing mandatory matching fields, T2S will be introducing two new types of matching fields, additional and optional. Additional matching fields are used to indicate corporate action attributes, whilst the optional matching fields provide extended matching criteria. Neither types of fields are mandatory but have different behaviors. The approach taken by Goldman Sachs for these matching fields is outlined below.
ADDITIONAL MATCHING FIELDS
The use and matching of the Opt-out ISO transaction condition indicator results in the exclusion of an instruction from automatic market claims. The CUM/EX indicator specifies the income entitlement due on a transaction. In order to maintain matching consistency, Goldman Sachs will not be instructing any of the additional matching fields. These fields will remain blank in Goldman Sachs' settlement instructions.
OPTIONAL MATCHING FIELDS
The optional matching fields provide extended criteria for market participants to use in the matching process if required. The optional matching fields will remain blank by default in Goldman Sachs' settlement instructions, unless specifically provided by the client. If provided, Goldman Sachs will instruct the 'client of delivering/receiving CSD participant' (also known as Party 2), for matching accuracy. The 'common trade reference' will not be supported.
Matching Criteria
The additional matching fields only become a matching criterial if at least one party
instructs a value:
Value 1 + Value 1 = Match Blank + Blank = Match
Value 1 + Blank = No Match Value 1 + Value 2 = No Match
GS Approach
GS will not be instructing these additional matching fields in line with expected
market practice
Field

CUM/EX indicator
Matching Criteria

delivering/receiving CSD participant', all other optional matching fields
will remain blank by default

GOLDMAN SACHS STANDARD SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS T2S Wave 3 Markets
8Implementing TARGET2-Securities (T2S) August 2016
AUTO-PARTIAL
1. Will GS subscribe to auto-partialling?
Yes, GS has opted-in for auto-partialling for both receipts and deliveries. The only two exceptions will be Greek Fixed Income securities and all Securities Lending activity (both in line with expected market practice).
2. How can we ensure our instructions with GS are auto-partialled?
Both parties need to opt-in for auto-partial for the process to work. If one party does not then the instruction will not auto-partial.
STANDARD SETTLEMENT INSTRUCTIONS (SSI)
3. Will GS be adopting the new BIC11 format?
Yes, GS will be adopting BIC11 in SWIFT instructions and will be updating the appropriate SSI channels accordingly.
4. What methodology is GS using to convert BIC8 to BIC11?
Unless a client or counterparty notifies us otherwise, we will take the default approach of appending “XXX” at the end of the BIC8 to make it BIC11 compliant.
5. What will be the impact to the GS SSIs for the Wave 3 markets post go-live?
GS is maintaining its existing sub-custody network for Wave 3, therefore we do not anticipate any significant changes to our SSIs or place of settlement details. For full details, please see revised SSIs on page 7 of this document.
6. What is the T2S SAC number and is it a required matching criteria?
The Settlement Account (SAC) is the designated T2S account number for each CSD participant. The SAC number is not a required matching criteria and GS will not be instructing with SAC numbers. GS has provided this for informational purposes only, should your agent bank or custodian require it for matching.
7. Will GS be updating its SSI records in DTCC Omgeo ALERT for the Wave 3 markets?
Yes, these will be updated from the go-live date of September 12, 2016.
8. Will GS be using different Place of Settlement BICs for the Wave 3 markets?
No, GS will continue to use existing Place of Settlement details.
9. When does our organization have to make any changes with respect to Wave 3 SSIs with GS?
The Wave 3 SSIs provided by GS will be effective from settlement date September 12, 2016, which is the date of the Wave 3 scheduled migration to T2S. Prior to this date, GS will continue to use its existing SSIs.

ADDITIONAL & OPTIONAL MATCHING FIELDS
10. Will GS instruct any of the new additional matching fields?
No, GS will leave the additional matching fields blank. Therefore, we will not instruct either the Opt-out ISO transaction condition or CUM/EX indicators. This is in line with expected market practice.
12.Will GS instruct any of the new optional matching fields?
Yes, GS will instruct the 'client of delivering/receiving CSD participant', however, all other optional matching fields will remain blank by default. This is in line with expected market practice.
MISCELLANEOUS
13. Will GS make use of the Hold and Release functionality in T2S?
No, GS will not use Hold & Release directly, however our local agent banks may manage this process on our behalf. GS will send all instructions in ‘release’ status to its agent banks. GS will not offer Hold & Release capabilities to clients.
14. Will GS make use of the Prioritization functionality in T2S?
Yes, GS will prioritize instructions where required.
15. How does T2S relate to the T+2 settlement cycle change?
Whilst both T2S and T+2 provide post-trade harmonization across Europe, they are separate initiatives. T2S is a technical settlement platform created by the ECB for Euro-settling markets, whereas T+2 is a settlement cycle change, which came into effect under the Central Securities Depository Regulation (CSDR) on October 6, 2014 for markets within the European Union.
