By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Nov. 17 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price 0% index-linked trigger notes due 14 to 15 months after issue linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A trigger event occurs if the index closes below the initial index level by more than 30% during the life of the notes.

If a trigger event occurs, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return, with exposure to any losses. If a trigger event does not occur, the payout will be par plus the greater of the index return and a contingent minimum return of 11.25% to 13.25%.

In either case, the payout is subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,200 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

The exact terms of the notes (Cusip: 38143UQA2) will be set at pricing.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
