which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made
pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member
State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Securities. Accordingly, any person

prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuers

market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC. The relevant Pricing Supplement will specify

Commission (the "CFTC") under the United States Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended
(the "Commodity Exchange Act"). Except as provided below, Securities may not be offered, sold or
delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities
Act ("Regulation S")). The Pricing Supplement relating to an Instrument (but not a Note) may provide
for an offer and sale of the whole or a portion of a Series of Instruments issued by GSI (but not any

of such Instruments to it is made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and that such Instruments are not transferable except as
provided under "Selling Restrictions" below. Rights arising under the Securities will be exercisable by
the Holder only upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership, unless the Pricing Supplement
relating to an Instrument expressly provides otherwise in connection with an offering of the Instrument
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Warrants relating to commodities may not be offered, sold or resold in or into the United States without
an applicable exemption under the Commodity Exchange Act. Unless otherwise stated in the relevant
Pricing Supplement, such Warrants may not be offered, sold or resold in the United States and the
Issuers and the Guarantor reserve the right not to make payment or delivery in respect of a Warrant to a
person in the United States if such payment or delivery would constitute a violation of U.S. law.
The Securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or
any state securities commission in the United States nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission
or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this Private Placement
Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
Post-issuance Reporting: Neither the Issuers nor the Guarantor intend to provide any post-issuance
information or have authorised the making or provision of any representation or information regarding
the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Securities other than as contained or incorporated by reference in this
Private Placement Memorandum, in any other document prepared in connection with the Programme or
any Pricing Supplement or as expressly approved for such purpose by the Issuers or the Guarantor. Any
such representation or information should not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers
or the Guarantor. The delivery of this Private Placement Memorandum or any Pricing Supplement shall
not, in any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no adverse change in the financial
situation of the Issuers or the Guarantor since the date hereof or, as the case may be, the date upon
which this Private Placement Memorandum has been most recently supplemented.

Memorandum in any jurisdiction where any such action is required. Furthermore, this Private

HOW TO USE THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM
What is this document?
This document (the "Private Placement Memorandum") is intended for private placements of
warrants (the "Warrants"), certificates (the "Certificates" and together with the Warrants, the
"Instruments") and notes (the "Notes", and together with the Warrants and the Certificates, the
"Securities"), which do not require the publication of a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus
Directive. It is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive and may not be used for an
offering requiring such a prospectus. It has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Securities in
any Member State of the European Economic Area will be made pursuant to an exemption from the
requirement to produce a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive for offers of Securities.
This Private Placement Memorandum is valid for one year and may be supplemented from time to
time.
Who are the Issuers and the Guarantor?
The Securities will be issued by Goldman Sachs International or Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier
GmbH (as applicable) (together, the "Issuers" and each an "Issuer") and guaranteed by The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. (the "Guarantor"). This means that payments of principal and interest (if any) are
subject to the relevant Issuer's and the Guarantor's financial position and their ability to meet their
obligations. This Private Placement Memorandum has incorporated by reference a registration
document dated 24 June 2013 (the "Registration Document") which describes the business activities
of each Issuer and the Guarantor as well as certain financial information and material risks faced by
each Issuer and the Guarantor (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below).
How do I use this Private Placement Memorandum?
This Private Placement Memorandum, together with the Registration Document, is intended to provide
investors with information necessary to enable them to make an informed investment decision before
purchasing any Securities.
The contractual terms of any particular issuance of Securities will be comprised of the terms and
conditions of the Notes set out at pages 75 to 113 of this Private Placement Memorandum (the
"General Note Conditions") or the terms and conditions of the Instruments set out at pages 31 to 74 of
this Private Placement Memorandum (the "General Instrument Conditions"), as the case may be, as
completed by a separate pricing supplement which is specific to that issuance of Securities (the
"Pricing Supplement").
The General Note Conditions or the General Instrument Conditions, as the case may be, may be
completed and/or amended, if so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, by certain additional
product conditions set out in the product supplements in the Annexes to this Private Placement
Memorandum (the "Specific Product Conditions") depending on the type of product which the
particular issuance of Securities is linked to. The Specific Product Conditions include (i) in the case of
all Securities, the Share Linked Conditions, the Index Linked Conditions, the Commodity Linked
Conditions, the FX Linked Conditions, the Inflation Linked Conditions and the Total/Excess Return
Credit Index Linked Conditions and (ii) in the case of Notes, the Credit Linked Conditions.
What other documents do I need to read?
This Private Placement Memorandum contains all information which is necessary to enable investors to
make an informed decision regarding the financial position and prospects of the relevant Issuer and the
Guarantor, and the rights attaching to the Securities. The information regarding the relevant Issuer and
the Guarantor is incorporated by reference from the Registration Document. The Registration
Document itself incorporates information by reference from publicly available documents. In addition,
some of this information relating to the terms of the Securities is completed in an issue-specific
document called the Pricing Supplement. You should read the Registration Document, including the
documents incorporated by reference therein, as well as the Pricing Supplement in respect of such
Securities, together with this Private Placement Memorandum.
