Madison, Wis., Nov. 30 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $2 million of 0% index-linked trigger notes due Dec. 18, 2013 tied to the MSCI EAFE index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A trigger event occurs if the index level falls by more than 24.8% on any day during the life of the notes.

In either case, the payout is subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount.
