By Toni Weeks

San Diego, Dec. 21 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $2.35 million of 0% index-linked notes due Dec. 24, 2014 tied to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index return is zero or positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return, subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,310 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
