Chicago, May 15 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price 0% currency-linked notes due Nov. 23, 2015 linked to a basket of equally weighted currencies versus the euro, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying currencies are Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Turkish lira and South African rand, each relative to the euro.

If the basket finishes at or above the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of the 12% contingent minimum and any gain, up to a maximum payout of $2,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

Otherwise, the payout will be the minimum payout of $970 per $1,000 of notes.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter with JPMorgan as placement agent.

The notes will price on May 16 and settle on May 23.
