The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
$1,720,000
Cal able Monthly Russel 2000 I
® ndex-Linked Range Accrual Notes due 2029

Subject to our redemption right described below, interest, if any, on your notes wil be paid monthly on the 28th day of
each month, commencing on the first interest payment date (April 28, 2014) and ending on the stated maturity date
(March 28, 2029). The amount of interest that you wil be paid each month wil be based on the number of scheduled
trading days, each a "reference date", on which the closing level of the Russel 2000
® Index is greater than or equal to
60.00% of the initial index level of 1,178.0498, which is 706.82988. To determine your annualized interest rate with
respect to each interest payment date, we wil divide the number of reference dates in the immediately preceding interest
period on which the above condition is met by the total number of reference dates in that interest period. We will then
multiply the resulting fraction by the interest factor of 7.00%. Your monthly interest payment for each $1,000 face amount
of your notes will equal the product of the applicable annualized interest rate times $1,000 times an accrued interest factor
determined in accordance with the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention. Unless the above condition is met on each
reference date in a monthly interest period, the interest rate with respect to the next interest payment date will
be less than 7.00% per annum, and if it is never met, the interest rate with respect to such interest payment date
will be 0%.
We may redeem your notes at 100% of their face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on any monthly interest
payment date on or after June 28, 2014.
If we do not redeem your notes, the amount that you wil be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date, in addition to
any accrued and unpaid interest, is based solely on the performance of the index as measured from the trade date
(March 25, 2014) to and including the determination date (March 14, 2029). If the final index level on the determination
date is greater than or equal to 60.00% of the initial index level, you wil receive the face amount of your notes. If the final
index level is less than 60.00% of the initial index level, the amount you receive will depend on the index return
but will be less than the face amount of your notes, as described below. You will not benefit from any increase in
the final index level above the initial index level, and you could lose your entire investment in the notes if the final
index level is zero.
To determine your payment at maturity, excluding any interest payment, we wil calculate the index return, which is the
percentage increase or decrease in the final index level from the initial index level. On the stated maturity date, for each
$1,000 face amount of your notes, you wil receive an amount in cash equal to:
·
if the index return is greater than or equal to -40.00% (the final index level is greater than or equal to 60.00%

of the initial index level), $1,000; or
·
if the index return is less than -40.00% (the final index level is less than 60.00% of the initial index level), the

sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) the index return times (b) $1,000.
Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things, our credit risk. See
page PS-11.
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. (GS&Co.) and taking into account our credit
spreads) was equal to approximately $910 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; however, the price (not
including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell notes (if it
makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that GS&Co. will initially use for account
statements and otherwise equals approximately $955.50 per $1,000 face amount, which exceeds the estimated
value of your notes as determined by reference to these models. The amount of the excess will decline on a
straight line basis over the period from the trade date through June 28, 2014.
Original issue date:
March 28, 2014
Original issue price:
100.00% of the face
amount
Underwriting discount:
4.50% of the face amount
Net proceeds to the issuer: 95.50% of the face

®
ndex (Bloomberg symbol, "RTY Index"), as published by the Russel Investment Group
("Russel ")

Specified currency: U.S. dol ars ("$")

Terms to be specified in accordance with the accompanying product supplement no. 2489:

·
type of notes: notes linked to an underlier


·

·
reference rate: not applicable


·
rate trigger range: not applicable


·
trigger buffer level: yes, as described below

buffer level: not applicable


Face amount: each note will have a face amount of $1,000; $1,720,000 in the aggregate for all the offered notes; the
aggregate face amount of the offered notes may be increased if the issuer, at its sole option, decides to sel an additional
amount of the offered notes on a date subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement

Purchase at amount other than face amount: the amount we wil pay you at the stated maturity date for your notes or
upon any early redemption of your notes, wil not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for your notes, so if you
acquire notes at a premium (or discount) to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date or date of early
redemption, it could affect your investment in a number of ways. The return on your investment in such notes wil be lower
(or higher) than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount. Also, the stated trigger buffer level would
not offer the same measure of protection to your investment as would be the case if you had purchased the notes at face
amount. See "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes -- If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face
Amount, the Return on Your Investment Wil Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the
Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Wil be Negatively Affected" on page PS-13 of this pricing supplement.

ruling to the contrary -- to characterize each note for all tax purposes as an income-bearing pre-paid derivative contract in
respect of the underlier, as described under "Supplemental Discussion of Federal Income Tax Consequences" on
page S-30 of the accompanying product supplement no. 2489. Pursuant to this approach, it is the opinion of Sidley Austin
LLP that it is likely that any interest payment wil be taxed as ordinary income in accordance with your regular method of
accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a United States alien holder of the notes, we intend to
withhold on interest payments made to you at a 30% rate or at a lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
In addition, upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your notes, it would be reasonable for you to recognize
capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash you receive at such time (excluding
amounts attributable to any interest payment) and your tax basis in your notes. Pursuant to final Treasury regulations and
an Internal Revenue Service notice released on July 12, 2013, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding
(as described in United States Taxation- Taxation of Debt Securities- Foreign Account Tax Compliance" in the
accompanying prospectus and "Supplemental Discussion of Federal Income Tax Consequences Foreign Account Tax
Compliance" in the accompanying product supplement no. 2489) wil general y not apply to obligations that are issued prior
to July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes wil not be subject to FATCA withholding.

Cash settlement amount (on the stated maturity date): for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, in addition to any
accrued and unpaid interest, we will pay you on the stated maturity date, subject to our early redemption right, an amount
in cash equal to:

·
if the final underlier level is greater than or equal to the trigger buffer level, $1,000; or

·
if the final underlier level is less than the trigger buffer level, the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of

(i) $1,000 times (i ) the underlier return

Early redemption right: we have the right to redeem your notes, in whole but not in part, on each redemption date at a
price equal to 100% of the face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding such redemption date,
subject to ten business days prior notice, as further described under "General Terms of the Cal able Range Accrual Notes
-- Redemption of Your Notes" on page S-24 of the accompanying product supplement no. 2489

Redemption dates: the interest payment date that wil fal on June 28, 2014 and each interest payment date occurring
thereafter

Interest rate: the interest rate with respect to any interest payment date wil be determined on the immediately preceding
interest determination date, based on the closing level of the underlier on each reference date during the interest period
immediately preceding such interest payment date. The interest rate wil be equal to the product of (1) the interest factor
times (2) the quotient of (i) the number of reference dates during the applicable interest period when the closing level of
the underlier is greater than or equal to the underlier barrier level divided by (i ) the number of reference dates in such
interest period, subject to adjustment as described under "General Terms of the Cal able Range Accrual Notes -- Interest
Payments" on page S-24 of the accompanying product supplement no. 2489.

Interest factor: 7.00%

Interest period: each period from and including each interest determination date (or the original issue date in the case of
the initial interest period) to but excluding the next succeeding interest determination date

Interest determination dates: the tenth scheduled trading day prior to each interest payment date

Interest payment dates: the 28th day of each month, beginning on April 28, 2014, up to and including the stated maturity
date, subject to adjustment as described under "General Terms of the Cal able Range Accrual Notes -- Interest
Payments" on page S-24 of the accompanying product supplement no. 2489

Day count convention: 30/360 (ISDA)

including each interest payment date (or the original issue date, in the case of the first interest payment date) to but
excluding the next succeeding interest payment date
