By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Feb. 27 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price 0% autocallable knock-out equity notes linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are expected to mature about 30 months after the pricing date.

The notes will be called at par plus a call premium of 10% to 12% if the index closes at or above the initial level on the call observation date, which is expected to be 78 weeks after pricing.

A knock-out event occurs if the index finishes below 60% of the initial level.

If a knock-out event occurs, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return, with exposure to losses.

Otherwise, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.5 times any index gain, with a floor of par.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.

The Cusip number is 38143UP70.
