Goldman Sachs to price index-linked trigger notes tied to S&P 500

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., March 20 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price 0% index-linked trigger notes due April 9, 2014 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 level falls by more than 20% on any day during the life of the notes.

If a trigger event occurs, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return, which could be positive or negative.

If a trigger event does not occur, the payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of the index return and the contingent minimum return of 0%.

In either case, the maximum settlement amount is $1,150 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the placement agent.

The notes (Cusip: 38141GQY3) are expected to price March 22 and settle March 27.
