Media Reports of Threats Made Against Goldman Sachs

The firm is aware that a number of local newspapers in a few places in the US have received anonymous letters threatening the firm.

We take any threat to the safety of our people and our business very seriously.

The Office of Global Security has consulted the FBI and other relevant authorities. Authorities have informed us that they believe the threat to be of low credibility. Nevertheless, they have mounted an active investigation to try to determine the source of the letters.

We have a broad range of security measures in place to counter all likely threats and we continue to monitor this situation closely. We do not view this situation as a cause for concern.

If you have any questions in this regard please contact the Office of Global Security ... Thank You
