Cal able Quarterly CMS Spread-Linked Notes due 2029

The notes wil mature on the stated maturity date (March 21, 2029).
We may redeem your notes at 100% of their face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on any quarterly
interest payment date on or after September 21, 2014.
On the stated maturity date, we wil pay you an amount in cash equal to the face amount of your notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any. The notes wil pay interest quarterly, beginning June 21, 2014. For each of the first eight
interest periods, interest wil be paid at a rate of 10.00% per annum. For each interest period after the eighth interest
period, the amount of interest you wil be paid each quarter wil be based on the product of (i) 6 times (i ) the CMS
spread (the difference between the 30-year CMS rate minus the 5-year CMS rate on the relevant interest determination
date, which wil be the second U.S. Government securities business day preceding the respective interest period) minus
0.25%, subject to the maximum interest rate of 10.00% per annum.
For each quarterly interest period after the eighth interest period, the interest rate per annum for such interest period
will equal:

·
if (i) the CMS spread minus 0.25% times (ii) 6 is greater than or equal to 10.00%, the maximum interest

rate of 10.00%;

·
if (i) the CMS spread minus 0.25% times (ii) 6 is less than 10.00% but greater than 0%, (i) the CMS

spread minus 0.25% times (i ) 6; or

·
if the CMS spread minus 0.25% is equal to or less than 0%, 0%.
After the first eight interest periods, if on any interest determination date the 30-year CMS rate does not
exceed the 5-year CMS rate by more than 0.25%, you will receive no interest on your notes for such interest
period, even if the CMS spread minus 0.25% on subsequent days is greater than 0%. Furthermore, after the
first eight interest periods, the interest rate per annum will be subject to a maximum interest rate of 10.00%.
Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things, our credit risk. See
page S-4.
You should read the additional disclosure herein so that you may better understand the terms and risks of your
investment.
The estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes were set on the trade date (as
determined by reference to pricing models used by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and taking into account our credit
spreads) was equal to approximately $905 per $1,000 face amount, which is less than the original issue price.
The value of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted.

Original issue date: March 21, 2014
Original issue price: 100.00% of the face amount

Underwriting discount: 4.40% of the face amount
Net proceeds to issuer: 95.60% of the face amount
In addition to offers and sales at the initial price to public, the underwriters may offer the notes from time to time for
sale in one or more transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices or at
negotiated prices.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or
disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is

supplement mean the senior debt indenture, dated July 16, 2008, between The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.

described on page S-11) on such day, subject to

Supplemental discussion of U.S. federal income tax
consequences: We intend to treat the notes as debt
instruments subject to the special rules governing

required to pay taxes on ordinary income from the notes
over their term based on the comparable yield for the

based on the actual interest payments on the notes. In

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NOTES

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks described under
"Considerations Relating to Indexed Securities" in the accompanying prospectus dated September 19, 2011. You
should carefully review these risks as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying
prospectus, dated September 19, 2011, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus supplement, dated
September 19, 2011, of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt
securities. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the
Terms of Your Notes Were Set On the Trade Date (as
Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By
Goldman, Sachs & Co.) Was Less Than the Original
Issue Price Of Your Notes
The original issue price for your notes exceeds the
estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of
your notes were set on the trade date, as determined by
reference to Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models and
taking into account our credit spreads. Such estimated
value on the trade date is set forth on the cover of this
prospectus supplement; after the trade date, the
estimated value as determined by reference to these
models wil be affected by changes in market conditions,
our creditworthiness and other relevant factors. If
Goldman, Sachs & Co. buys or sel s your notes it wil do
so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined
by reference to such pricing models at that time. The
price at which Goldman, Sachs & Co. will buy or sell your
notes at any time also wil reflect its then current bid and
ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.
In estimating the value of your notes as of the time
the terms of your notes were set on the trade date, as
disclosed on the front cover of this prospectus
supplement, Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models
consider certain variables, including principally our credit
spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical
rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to
maturity of the notes. These pricing models are
proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about
future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a
result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your
notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may
differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of
your notes determined by reference to our models due to,
among other things, any
differences in pricing models or assumptions used by
others. See "-- The Market Value of Your Notes May Be
Influenced by Many Factors That Are Unpredictable and
Interrelated in Complex Ways" below.
The difference between the estimated value of your
notes as of the time the terms of your notes were set on
the trade date and the original issue price is a result of

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312514104410/...
certain factors, including principal y the underwriting
discount and commissions, the expenses incurred in
creating, documenting and marketing the notes, and an
estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay
to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the amounts Goldman,
Sachs & Co. pays to us in connection with your notes. We
pay to Goldman, Sachs & Co. amounts based on what
we would pay to holders of a non-structured note with a
similar maturity. In return for such payment, Goldman,
Sachs & Co. pays to us the amounts we owe under your
notes.
In addition to the factors discussed above, the value
and quoted price of your notes at any time wil reflect
many factors and cannot be predicted. If Goldman,
Sachs & Co. makes a market in the notes, the price
quoted by Goldman, Sachs & Co. would reflect any
changes in market conditions and other relevant factors,
including any deterioration in our creditworthiness or
perceived creditworthiness. These changes may
adversely affect the value of your notes, including the
price you may receive for your notes in any market
making transaction. To the extent that Goldman, Sachs &
Co. makes a market in the notes, the quoted price wil
reflect the estimated value determined by reference to
Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models at that time, plus
or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar
sized trades of structured notes.

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you will likely be
charged a commission for secondary market
transactions, or the price wil likely reflect a dealer
discount. This commission or discount wil further reduce
the proceeds you would receive for your notes in a
secondary market sale.
There is no assurance that Goldman, Sachs & Co. or
any other party wil be wil ing to purchase your notes at
any price and, in this regard, Goldman, Sachs & Co. is
not obligated to make a market in the notes. See "--
Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market"
below.
The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the
Issuer
Although the return on the notes wil be based in part
on the relationship between the 5-year CMS rate and the
30-year CMS rate, the payment of any amount due on
the notes is subject to our credit risk. The notes are our
unsecured obligations. Investors are dependent on our
ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore
investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in
the market's view of our creditworthiness. See
"Description of the Notes We May Offer -- Information
About Our Medium-Term Notes, Series D Program --
How the Notes Rank Against Other Debt" on page S-4 of
the accompanying prospectus supplement.
If the CMS Spread Changes, the Market Value of Your
Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner
The price of your notes may move differently than
the CMS spread. The CMS spread wil vary during the
term of the notes based on the relationship between the
5-year CMS rate and the 30-year CMS rate as wel as
the market's expectation of this relationship in the future.
Changes in the CMS spread may not result in a
comparable change in the market value of your notes.
Even if the CMS spread less 0.25% is greater than 0%
during some portion of the life of the offered notes after
the first eight interest periods, the market value of your
notes may not increase in the same manner. We discuss
some of the reasons for this disparity under "-- The
Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many
Factors That Are Unpredictable and Interrelated in
Complex Ways" below.
Because of the long-dated maturity of your notes,
the expected future performance of the CMS spread wil
have a greater impact on the market value of your notes
than if your notes had an earlier maturity date. In
particular, the expected future performance of the CMS
spread may cause the market value of your notes to

Prospectus Supplement No. 2755 dated March 14, 2014
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312514104410/...
decrease even though the CMS spread minus 0.25%
may be greater than 0% during some portion of the life of
the offered notes. Moreover, expectations about the
performance of the CMS spread in the future are subject
to a great degree of uncertainty and may be based on
assumptions about the future that may prove to be
incorrect. Even if the expected future performance of the
CMS spread is favorable to your notes, this uncertainty
may result in market participants substantial y discounting
this future performance when determining the market
value of your notes.
If the CMS Spread Minus 0.25% Is Less than or Equal
to 0% on the Relevant Interest Determination Date for
Any Interest Period After the First Eight Interest
Periods, No Interest Will Be Paid for that Interest
Period
Because of the formula used to calculate the
interest rate applicable to your notes, in the event that on
the relevant interest determination date for any interest
period after the first eight interest periods the 30-year
CMS rate does not exceed the 5-year CMS rate by more
than 0.25%, no interest wil be paid for such interest
period, even if the CMS spread minus 0.25% on
subsequent days is greater than 0%. Therefore, if the
30-year CMS rate does not exceed the 5-year CMS rate
by more than 0.25%, for a prolonged period of time over
the life of your notes after the first eight interest periods,
including interest determination dates, you wil receive no
interest during the affected interest periods. In such case,
even if you receive some interest payments on some or
al of the interest payment dates, the overal return you
earn on your notes may be less than you would have
earned by investing in a non-indexed debt security of
comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing
market rate.
Assuming circumstances where no interest payment
is to be made on your notes after the eighth interest
period, the present value of your notes as of the original
issue date wil equal the present value of a bond that
pays only the coupons up to and including the eighth
interest
