By Susanna Moon

Chicago, July 13 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price 0% buffered basket-linked notes linked to two indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P 500 index with a 70% weight and the Russell 2000 index with a 30% weight.

The maturity is expected to be between 29 and 34 months after issue.

The payout at maturity will be par plus any basket gain, up to a maximum settlement amount of $1,140 to $1,165 per $1,000 principal amount.

Investors will receive par if the basket falls by up to 40% and will lose 1.6667% for every 1% decline beyond 40%.

The exact deal terms will be set at pricing.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
