Questa obbligazione, quotata in Dollari Americani (USD), offre un'interessante prospettiva per gli investitori alla ricerca di opportunitā nel settore finanziario statunitense. L'emittente di questa obbligazione č Goldman Sachs, una delle principali banche d'investimento globali e societā di gestione finanziaria. Fondata nel 1869, la societā ha sede negli Stati Uniti e opera in tutti i maggiori centri finanziari mondiali, fornendo una vasta gamma di servizi che includono investment banking, global markets, asset management e consumer & wealth management. La sua reputazione si fonda sulla solida esperienza nel fornire consulenza strategica e soluzioni finanziarie a societā, istituzioni e governi a livello internazionale, posizionandola come un attore chiave nel panorama finanziario globale. Il titolo, emesso negli Stati Uniti, presenta un tasso d'interesse nominale (cedola) del 2.216%. La scadenza č fissata per il 12 giugno 2029. Attualmente, il prezzo di mercato si attesta a 82.689% del valore nominale, indicando che l'obbligazione č scambiata a sconto. I pagamenti delle cedole avvengono con una frequenza di due volte all'anno, ovvero su base semestrale. L'ammontare totale dell'emissione č pari a 6.500.000 USD, con un taglio minimo di acquisto per gli investitori di 1.000 USD. Per quanto riguarda la valutazione creditizia, l'obbligazione ha ricevuto un rating 'BBB+' dall'agenzia Standard & Poor's (S&P), classificandosi quindi nella categoria 'investment grade', il che suggerisce una buona capacitā dell'emittente di far fronte ai propri impegni finanziari. L'agenzia Moody's non ha fornito una valutazione per questa specifica emissione (NR - Not Rated). In sintesi, questa obbligazione di Goldman Sachs rappresenta un'opzione per gli investitori che desiderano esporsi al debito di una primaria istituzione finanziaria statunitense, beneficiando di un rendimento potenziale superiore al tasso cedolare nominale dato il prezzo attuale sotto la pari, e con una solida valutazione di credito da parte di S&P.

$6,500,000
Callable Quarterly CMS Spread-Linked Notes due 2029


The notes wil mature on the stated maturity date (June 12, 2029).
We may redeem your notes at 100% of their face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on any quarterly
interest payment date on or after December 12, 2014.
On the stated maturity date, we wil pay you an amount in cash equal to the face amount of your notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any. The notes wil pay interest quarterly, beginning September 12, 2014. For each of the first four
interest periods, interest wil be paid at a rate of 9.25% per annum. For each interest period thereafter, the amount of
interest you wil be paid each quarter wil be based on the product of (i) 4 times (i ) the CMS spread (the difference
between the 30-year CMS rate minus the 2-year CMS rate on the relevant interest determination date, which wil be the
second U.S. Government securities business day preceding the respective interest period) minus 0.25%, subject to the
maximum interest rate of 9.50% per annum.
For each quarterly interest period after the fourth interest period, the interest rate per annum for such interest period
will equal:

·
if (i) the CMS spread minus 0.25% times (ii) 4 is greater than or equal to 9.50%, the maximum interest

rate of 9.50%;

·
if (i) the CMS spread minus 0.25% times (ii) 4 is less than 9.50% but greater than 0%, (i) the CMS spread

minus 0.25% times (i ) 4; or


·
if the CMS spread minus 0.25% is equal to or less than 0%, 0%.
After the first four interest periods, if on any interest determination date the 30-year CMS rate does not
exceed the 2-year CMS rate by more than 0.25%, you will receive no interest on your notes for such interest
period, even if the CMS spread minus 0.25% on subsequent days is greater than 0%. Furthermore, after the
first four interest periods, the interest rate per annum will be subject to a maximum interest rate of 9.50%.
Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things, our credit risk.
See page S-4.
You should read the additional disclosure herein so that you may better understand the terms and risks of your
investment.
The estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes were set on the trade date (as
determined by reference to pricing models used by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and taking into account our credit
spreads) was equal to approximately $930 per $1,000 face amount for the notes that traded on June 5, 2014
and approximately $929 per $1,000 face amount for the notes that traded on June 6, 2014, which is less than
the original issue price. The value of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted.

Original issue date: June 12, 2014
Original issue price: 100.000% of the face

amount

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NOTES

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks described under
"Considerations Relating to Indexed Securities" in the accompanying prospectus dated September 19, 2011. You
should carefully review these risks as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying
prospectus, dated September 19, 2011, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus supplement, dated
September 19, 2011, of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt
securities. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the
Terms of Your Notes Were Set On the Trade Date (as
Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By
Goldman, Sachs & Co.) Was Less Than the Original
Issue Price Of Your Notes
The original issue price for your notes exceeds the
estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of
your notes were set on the trade date, as determined by
reference to Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models and
taking into account our credit spreads. Such estimated
value on the trade date is set forth on the cover of this
prospectus supplement; after the trade date, the
estimated value as determined by reference to these
models wil be affected by changes in market conditions,
our creditworthiness and other relevant factors. If
Goldman, Sachs & Co. buys or sells your notes (if
Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes a market, which it is not
obligated to do) it wil do so at prices that reflect the
estimated value determined by reference to such pricing
models at that time. The price at which Goldman,
Sachs & Co. wil buy or sell your notes at any time also
wil reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar
sized trades of structured notes.
In estimating the value of your notes as of the time
the terms of your notes were set on the trade date, as
disclosed on the front cover of this prospectus
supplement, Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models
consider certain variables, including principally our credit
spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical
rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to
maturity of the notes. These pricing models are
proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about
future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a
result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your
notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may
differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of
your notes determined by reference to
our models due to, among other things, any differences in
pricing models or assumptions used by others. See "--
The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by
Many Unpredictable Factors" below.
The difference between the estimated value of your

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312514230630/...
notes as of the time the terms of your notes were set on
the trade date and the original issue price is a result of
certain factors, including principal y the underwriting
discount and commissions, the expenses incurred in
creating, documenting and marketing the notes, and an
estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay
to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the amounts Goldman,
Sachs & Co. pays to us in connection with your notes. We
pay to Goldman, Sachs & Co. amounts based on what
we would pay to holders of a non-structured note with a
similar maturity. In return for such payment, Goldman,
Sachs & Co. pays to us the amounts we owe under your
notes.
In addition to the factors discussed above, the value
and quoted price of your notes at any time wil reflect
many factors and cannot be predicted. If Goldman,
Sachs & Co. makes a market in the notes, the price
quoted by Goldman, Sachs & Co. would reflect any
changes in market conditions and other relevant factors,
including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or
perceived creditworthiness. These changes may
adversely affect the value of your notes, including the
price you may receive for your notes in any market
making transaction. To the extent that Goldman, Sachs &
Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price wil
reflect the estimated value determined by reference to
Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models at that time, plus
or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar
sized trades of structured notes.

Table of Contents
Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be
charged a commission for secondary market
transactions, or the price wil likely reflect a dealer
discount. This commission or discount wil further reduce
the proceeds you would receive for your notes in a
secondary market sale.
There is no assurance that Goldman, Sachs & Co. or
any other party wil be wil ing to purchase your notes at
any price and, in this regard, Goldman, Sachs & Co. is
not obligated to make a market in the notes. See "--
Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market"
below.
The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the
Issuer
Although the return on the notes wil be based in part
on the relationship between the 2-year CMS rate and the
30-year CMS rate, the payment of any amount due on
the notes is subject to our credit risk. The notes are our
unsecured obligations. Investors are dependent on our
ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore
investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in
the market's view of our creditworthiness. See
"Description of the Notes We May Offer -- Information
About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series D Program --
How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt" on page S-4 of
the accompanying prospectus supplement.
If the CMS Spread Changes, the Market Value of Your
Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner
The price of your notes may move differently than
the CMS spread. The CMS spread wil vary during the
term of the notes based on the relationship between the
2-year CMS rate and the 30-year CMS rate as wel as
the market's expectation of this relationship in the future.
Changes in the CMS spread may not result in a
comparable change in the market value of your notes.
Even if the CMS spread less 0.25% is greater than 0%
during some portion of the life of the offered notes after
the first four interest periods, the market value of your
notes may not increase in the same manner. We discuss
some of the reasons for this disparity under "-- The
Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many
Unpredictable Factors" below.
Because of the long-dated maturity of your notes,
the expected future performance of the CMS spread wil
have a greater impact on the market value of your notes
than if your notes had an earlier maturity date. In
particular, the expected future performance of the CMS
spread may cause the market value of your notes to
decrease even though the CMS spread minus 0.25%
