Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 19 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $31.5 million of 8.5% equity-linked notes due Dec. 16, 2015 linked to the common stock of General Motors Co, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The face amount of each note is $41.69, which is the same as the initial share price.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the upper strike price, 112% of the initial share price, the payout at maturity will be par plus 0.65% for every 1% that the final share price exceeds the upper strike price.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the lower strike price, 109.5% of the initial price, and less than the upper strike price, the payout at maturity will be par.

If the final share price is greater than the protection strike price, 77% of the initial share price, and less than the lower strike price, the payout will be par minus 0.9132% for each 1% that the share price declines below the lower strike price.
