By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 31 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $3.15 million of autocallable buffered index-linked notes due April 11, 2011 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus 1.13% if the index closes at or above the initial index level on Oct. 4, Nov. 3, Dec. 3, Jan. 3, Feb. 3, March 3, 2011 or April 4, 2011.

If the notes are not called on a call observation date and the level of the index on that date is at least 85% of the initial index level, investors will receive a coupon payment of 1.13%.

If the notes are not called and the final index level is at least 85% of the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1.1765% for every 1% that the index declines beyond 15%.
