Madison, Wis., Oct. 12 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $28.02 million of 0% index-linked trigger notes due Oct. 24, 2012 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A trigger event occurs if the index closes below 80% of the initial level during the life of the notes.
