The initial price to public set forth above does not include accrued interest, if any. Interest on the notes will accrue from
December 27, 2017 and must be paid by the purchaser if the notes are delivered after December 27, 2017. In addition to offers and
sales at the initial price to public, the underwriters may offer the notes from time to time for sale in one or more transactions at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices.
The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such
notes.
If interest rates increase, in most cases the market value of the notes will decrease and, if you sell the notes prior to maturity,
you will receive less than the principal amount of the notes.

Pricing Supplement No. 83 dated December 22, 2017
In addition to this pricing supplement, the following provisions are hereby incorporated into the global master note: the
description of New York business day appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer ­ Calculations of Interest on
Debt Securities ­ Business Days" in the accompanying prospectus, the description of the following unadjusted business day
convention appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer ­ Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities ­ Business
Day Conventions" in the accompanying prospectus and the section "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer ­ Defeasance and
Covenant Defeasance" in the accompanying prospectus.
Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer ­ Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities ­ Interest
Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be calculated by
multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued interest factor will be
determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention. The factor
is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis
as follows:

[360 × (Y2 ­ Y1)] + [30 × (M2 ­ M1)] + (D2 ­
D1)



360

w he re :
"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"Y2 " is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest period
falls;
"M1 " is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the
interest period falls;
"D1 " is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in which case
D1 will be 30; and
"D2 " is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest period, unless
such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30.
When We Can Redeem the Notes
We will be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The notes will not be
entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund ­ that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate custodial account
to repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its stated maturity.
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each March 27, June 27, September 27
and December 27 on or after December 27, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days' prior notice in
the manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If the redemption
notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the notes. If
any redemption date is not a business day, we will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other
payment due to the delay.

What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes. This summary supplements
the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and is subject
to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact
that the interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations generally deem
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312517378404/d514884d424b2.htm[12/26/2017 1:29:54 PM]


Pricing Supplement No. 83 dated December 22, 2017
an issuer to exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a
debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we call the notes immediately before the increase
in the interest rate on December 27, 2022 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID purposes.
This assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, and is not an indication of our intention to call or not to call the notes at any time. If we do not call the notes prior to the
increase in the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes, the notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on
December 27, 2022. This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same analysis would apply to
the increase in the interest rate on December 27, 2026.
Under this approach, interest on a note will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is
received in accordance with the U.S. holder's normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we call the
notes). Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes or
otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between
(i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as
such) and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the
cost of the note (net of accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax Compliance
Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign Account Tax Compliance
Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1,
2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to FATCA withholding. However, according to published guidance, the withholding
tax described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the
notes made before January 1, 2019.

to offers and sales at the initial price to public, the underwriters may offer the notes from time to time for sale in one or more
transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices.
Please note that the information about the initial price to public and net proceeds to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. on the

and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it will not offer or sell the notes in the United States or to United States
persons except if such offers or sales are made by or through FINRA member broker-dealers registered with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and
commissions, whether paid to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or any other underwriter, will be approximately $10,000.
