As part of the agreement, GreenSky stockholders will receive 0.03 shares of common stock of Goldman Sachs for each share of GreenSky Class A common stock, which equates to $12.11 per GreenSky Class A common stock, based on the closing share price of Goldman Sachs common stock as of September 14, 2021.
The Boards of Directors of Goldman Sachs and GreenSky have approved the transaction and the Board of Directors of GreenSky recommends that GreenSky stockholders approve the transaction and adopt the merger agreement.
