to repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its stated maturity.
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each January 31, April 30, July 31 and
October 31 on or after October 31, 2017, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days' prior notice in the
manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If the redemption
notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the notes. If
any redemption date is not a business day, we will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other
payment due to the delay.
What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes. This summary
supplements the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact
that the interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations generally deem
an issuer to exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether
a debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we call the notes immediately before the
increase in the interest rate on October 31, 2018 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID
purposes. This assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and is not an indication of our intention to call or not to call the notes at any time. If we do not call the notes
prior to the increase in the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes, the notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted
issue price on October 31, 2018. This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same analysis
would apply to the increase in the interest rate on October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2022. If the notes are not called on the
interest payment date occurring on October 31, 2022 then, because the period between the interest payment date on October 31,
2022 and the stated maturity date of the notes is one year or less, the notes, upon their deemed reissuance on October 31, 2022
could be treated as short-term debt securities for OID purposes (but not for purposes of determining the holding period of your
notes). For a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of owning short-term debt securities, please
review the section entitled "United States Taxation Taxation of Debt Securities United States Holders Short-Term Debt
Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
Under this approach, and subject to the discussion above regarding short-term debt securities, interest on a note will be
taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. holder's
normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we call the notes).

PS-4
Table of Contents
Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes or
otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between
(i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated
as such) and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal
the cost of the note (net of accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or
after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to FATCA withholding. However, according to published guidance,
the withholding tax described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other
disposition of the notes made before January 1, 2019.

terms. 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.

and date of sale to you will be provided in a separate confirmation of sale.
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that it will not offer or sell the notes in the United States or to United States
persons except if such offers or sales are made by or through FINRA member broker-dealers registered with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. estimates that its share of the total offering expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and
commissions, whether paid to Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any other underwriter, will be approximately $15,000.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on October 31, 2016, which is the second
scheduled business day following the date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing of the notes.
The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has been advised
by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Incapital LLC that they may make a market in the notes. Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Incapital LLC
are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the
liquidity of the trading market for the notes.

under the Securities Act of 1933.
Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided, and may in the future from time to time provide,
investment banking and general financing and banking services to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its affiliates, for which they
