respectively.

|
|
(e)
|
|

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge
(CDSC) that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C Shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service and
Class IR Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (GSAM), an affiliate of Goldman,
Sachs & Co. (Goldman Sachs), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the Agreement) with the Trust.
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation
The Funds valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments
Investment income includes interest income and dividend income, net of
any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities,
as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following
business day for daily net asset value (NAV) calculations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds
investments in United States (U.S.) real estate investment trusts (REITs) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the
cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses
Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class
specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent and
Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata
basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders
It is each Funds policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and
to

distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not
required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:

Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code
to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable
years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this
ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather
than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting
purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Funds distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized
gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in
U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is
included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in
unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on
foreign currency transactions.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are
observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAMs assumptions in determining fair value
measurement).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The Trustees have adopted Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market
quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds portfolio investments. To
assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in
accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments
The valuation
techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities
Equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued
daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, equity securities and exchange traded investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions
and at the last ask price for short positions. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the NAV on the valuation date. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last
sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation
Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary
receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt Securities
Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of
quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable
in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit
deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Contracts
A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices,
reference rates or a combination of these factors.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures contracts, typically fall within
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or
dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the
availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss
severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC derivatives are classified within
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
i. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange
Contracts
In a forward foreign currency contract, a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign
currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate.
62
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
|
ii. Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity
of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and
at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an
amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to
unrealized gains or losses.
iii. Options
When a Fund writes call or put options,
an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts. Options on a futures contract may be
written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments
To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable,
or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM,
consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of
the securities at the time of determining a Funds NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market
dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades;
and bankruptcies.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.
2011-11: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (netting) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. ASU 2011-11 was amended by ASU No. 2013-01,
clarifying which investments and transactions are subject to the netting disclosure. The scope of the disclosure requirements is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and
securities lending transactions. This information is intended to enable users of the Funds financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the Funds financial position. The ASU is effective for
financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds adopted the disclosure requirement on netting for the current reporting period. Since these amended principles
require additional disclosures concerning offsetting and related arrangements, adoption did not affect the Funds financial condition or result of operations.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting
arrangements or similar agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter
into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a
counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the
ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the
broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of
the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts, options and certain swaps). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are
typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, a Fund may be required to
post additional collateral to the counterparty in the form of initial margin, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the
counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully
collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing
and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting
of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights
are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed due to a particular jurisdictions bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
The following tables set forth the Funds' net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or
similar agreements as of June 30, 2013:

B. Distribution and Service Plans
The Trust, on

With respect to Class A Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account
maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on service fees imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
|
C. Distribution Agreement
Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution
Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class B and Class C Shares CDSC. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained front end sales charges of $19,185, $1,677,
$1,612 and $379 for the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds, respectively. Goldman Sachs retained $2 of contingent deferred
sales charges for the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund.
D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of
personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations
which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement
Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant
to Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class IR Shares; and 0.04% of
the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.

F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions
GSAM has agreed to limit certain Other
Expense of the Funds (excluding transfer agent fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting, and other extraordinary
expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated
to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium,
Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds are 0.014%, 0.124%, 0.044% and 0.094%, respectively. Prior to April 30, 2013, the Other Expense limitations for U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International
Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds were 0.054%, 0.054%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least
April 30, 2014, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may
result in a reduction of the Funds expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the Other Expense limitations described above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as

G. Line of Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2013, the Funds participated in
a $780,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the facility) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates (Other
Borrowers). Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the Funds and Other Borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $220,000,000, for a total of up to $1,000,000,000. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency
purposes, which may include the funding of redemptions. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 8, 2013, the committed amount available through the facility was $630,000,000.

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the terms and conditions
contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (GSAL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and
affiliates. In accordance with the Funds securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of
business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other
extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to
cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from

securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money
Market Fund (Money Market Fund), a separate series of the Trust. The Money Market Fund, deemed an affiliate of the Trust, is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is
managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive an investment advisory fee of up to 0.205% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower
agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If, despite such efforts by GSAL to
exercise these remedies, the Funds sustain losses as a result of a borrowers default, GSAL indemnifies the Funds by purchasing replacement securities at its expense, or paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the replacement
securities, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in the cash collateral pool due to reinvestment risk and a requirement that the Funds agree to assign rights to the collateral to GSAL for purpose of using the
collateral to cover purchase of replacement securities as more fully described in the Securities Lending Agency Agreement.
At June 30,
2013, the Funds loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements. Securities lending transactions on a net basis were as follows:

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash
sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures and options contracts and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that
no provision for income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

The Funds risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Foreign Custody Risk
A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign
banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Funds custodian (each a Foreign Custodian). In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their
operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Funds ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than
investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in
developed countries.
Shareholder Concentration Risk
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or Goldman Sachs
affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds liquidity and NAV. These
redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities.
Liquidity Risk
The Funds may make investments that
are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay
redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable
time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
Market and Credit Risks
In the normal course of business, the Funds
trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer fails to perform
or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Investing in foreign markets may
involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, be subject to government ownership controls, have delayed settlements and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent
permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification
clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be
remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the financial
statements were issued. GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service or Class IR
Shares of a Fund you incur types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares),
(if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service
(12b-1)
fees (with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service or Class IR Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other
mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you
paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid to
estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison
Purposes
The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of
5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this
information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not
reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning
different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are calculated using each Funds annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Expenses are
calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the
fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium, Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity, Goldman Sachs Structured
Tax-Managed Equity and Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Funds (the Funds) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the Trust). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the
investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held during the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trusts investment management agreement (the
Management Agreement) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the Investment Adviser) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2014 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees
who are not parties to the Management Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the Independent Trustees), at a meeting held on June 12-13, 2013
(the Annual Meeting).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual
Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the Committee), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since
the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings and/or the Annual Meeting, the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable, considered matters relating to the
Management Agreement, including:

(continued)
The Trustees also received an overview of the
Funds distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds assets, share purchase and redemption activity and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Funds and the payment of non-Rule 12b-1
shareholder service and/or administration fees by the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Funds Service Shares. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment
Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution and/or servicing of Fund shares.
The presentations made at
the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied
upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser, its affiliates, their services and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and
oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements
under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel.
During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present. The Independent Trustees also discussed
the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser. In this
regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel
of various of the Investment Advisers portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. The Trustees concluded that
the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment
Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser.

(continued)
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to
its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2012, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider as of
March 31, 2013. The information on each Funds investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The
Trustees also reviewed each Funds investment performance over time (including on a year-by-year basis) relative to its performance benchmark. In addition, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed
the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees
considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Advisers senior management and portfolio management personnel, in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Advisers periodic
reports with respect to the Funds risk profiles, and how the Investment Advisers approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees noted that the International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the
Funds peer group for the five-year period, in the third quartile for the three-year period, and in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, and had underperformed the Funds benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods
ended March 31, 2013. The Trustees also observed that the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Funds peer group for the one- and three-year periods and in the third
quartile for the five-year period, and had underperformed the Funds benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2013. They noted that the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Funds Class A Shares had
placed in the top half of the Funds peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had underperformed the Funds benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2013. They noted
that the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Funds Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Funds peer group for the three- and five-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, and had underperformed the
Funds benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2013.
The Trustees noted that the U.S. Equity
Dividend and Premium and the International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds had certain significant differences from their peer groups and benchmark indexes that caused the peer groups and benchmark indexes to be imperfect bases for performance
comparison. They noted the addition of certain key hires in 2011 to the senior management of the Funds portfolio management team, as well as ongoing efforts to further enhance the portfolio management teams investment models.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the
Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses
provided a comparison of the Funds management fees and breakpoints to those of relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Funds overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category
universe; and a five-year history comparing each Funds net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Funds transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to
those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Advisers undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified
levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser did not manage institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, and therefore this type of fee comparison was not
possible.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if they believe that the Fund
fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Investment Advisers revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds. In this
regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (
i.e
., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service) and
the Investment Advisers expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions
among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also reviewed the report of the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization,
which included an assessment of the reasonableness and consistency of the Investment Advisers expense allocation methodology and an evaluation of the accuracy of the Investment Advisers profitability analysis calculations. Profitability
data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2012 and 2011, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Advisers overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Advisers revenues and
pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were meant to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the
Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment
Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer
groups; and the Investment Advisers undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of
assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund,
which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the
Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Goldman Sachs); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures
transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, an
affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds cash collateral is invested); (e) the Investment Advisers ability to leverage the
infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Advisers ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs retention of certain fees as
Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Advisers ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship
between the Investment Adviser and the Funds third party service providers may cause those service providers to be open to doing business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees
requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits. In looking at the benefits to Goldman Sachs Agency Lending and the Investment Adviser from the securities lending program, they noted that the Funds also
benefited from their participation in the securities lending program.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser,
including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) improved servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated
by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) improved servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Advisers ability to negotiate
favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Advisers knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the
Investment Advisers ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain
firmwide resources (
i.e.
, proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Funds access to certain affiliated distribution channels. The Trustees noted the competitive nature of the
mutual fund marketplace, and noted further that many of the Funds shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the
relationship will continue.

Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not
identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that
the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Advisers costs and each Funds current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees
unanimously concluded that the Investment Advisers continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2014.
