By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Feb. 10 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $3.39 million of 0% underlier-linked trigger notes due Aug. 2, 2012 tied to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A trigger event occurs if the index fund share price closes below the initial share price by more than 30% during the life of the notes.

In either case, the payout is subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,200 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
