· FDI C: The notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.
De t e rm ina t ion of I nt e re st Ra t e
Your notes will bear interest for each interest period at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus the spread.
LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent on the second London business day (as defined in the accompanying
prospectus) immediately preceding the first day of such interest period in the following manner:

· LIBOR will be the offered rate per annum for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars, beginning on the first day of such period, as
that rate appears on Reuters screen LIBOR01 (or any successor or replacement page) as of approximately 11:00 A.M., London
time, on the second London business day immediately preceding the first day of such interest period.

· If the rate described above does not so appear on the Reuters screen LIBOR01 (or any successor or replacement page), then
LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the second London business
day immediately preceding the first day of such interest period, at which deposits of the following kind are offered to prime banks
in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market selected by the calculation agent: three-month deposits in
U.S. dollars, beginning on the first day of such interest period, and in a Representative Amount. The calculation agent will
request the principal London office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are
provided, LIBOR for the second London business day immediately preceding the first day of such interest period will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations.

· If fewer than two of the requested quotations described above are provided, LIBOR for the second London business day
immediately preceding the first day of such interest period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for loans of the following kind
to leading European banks quoted, at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second London business day
immediately preceding the first day of such interest period, by major banks in New York City selected by the calculation agent:
three-month loans of U.S. dollars, beginning on the first day of such interest period, and in a Representative Amount.

· If no quotation is provided as described above, then the calculation agent, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable
to any of the foregoing quotations or display page, or any such source as it deems reasonable from which to estimate LIBOR or
any of the foregoing lending rates, shall determine LIBOR for the second London business day immediately preceding the first
day of such interest period in its sole discretion.
The calculation agent's determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any interest period,
will be on file at our principal offices, will be made available to any noteholder upon request and will be final and binding in the
absence of manifest error.
In this subsection, we use several terms that have special meanings relevant to calculating LIBOR. We define these terms as
follows:

S-5
Table of Contents
The term ``Representative Amount'' means an amount that, in the calculation agent's judgment, is representative of a single
transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.
The term "Reuters screen" means the display on the Reuters 3000 Xtra service, or any successor or replacement service.
Addit iona l Conside ra t ions Re la t ing t o LI BOR
Please refer to the discussion under "Considerations Relating to Floating Rate Securities -- Increased Regulatory Oversight
and Changes in the Method Pursuant to Which the LIBOR Rates Are Determined May Adversely Affect the Value of Your Floating
Rate Securities" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the considerations relating to LIBOR.
Addit iona l I nform a t ion About t he N ot e s
Book-Entry System
We will issue the notes as global notes registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will settle in
immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the limited situations
described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a Global Security? --
Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated".
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312517044983/d276943d424b2.htm[2/15/2017 2:03:42 PM]

Prospectus Supplement Dated February 13, 2017
Investors may hold interests in a global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system.
See "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance" in the accompanying prospectus for additional information about indirect
ownership of interests in the notes.
Our Relationship With the Trustee
An affiliate of the trustee under our senior debt indenture is acting as an underwriter in this offering of the reopened notes,
and acted as an underwriter in the offering of the original notes. For additional information, see "Description of Debt Securities We
May Offer -- Our Relationship With the Trustee" in the accompanying prospectus.
U nit e d St a t e s Fe de ra l I nc om e T a x Conse que nc e s
Please refer to the discussion under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the notes. The following supplements the
discussion under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth
therein.
Your notes will be treated as variable rate debt securities for United States Federal income tax purposes as described under
"United States Taxation -- Taxation of Debt Securities -- United States Holders -- Variable Rate Debt Securities" in the
accompanying prospectus. Subject to the discussion in the following paragraph regarding amortizable bond premium, if you are a
United States holder, you will generally be taxed on interest on the notes as ordinary income at the time you receive the interest or
when it accrues, depending on your method of accounting for tax purposes. However, the portion of the first interest payment on
the reopened notes that represents a return of the pre-issuance accrued interest that purchasers of the reopened notes paid as
part of the issue price of the reopened notes will not be treated as an interest payment for United States federal income tax
purposes, and will accordingly not be includible in income.

S-6
Table of Contents
Because the purchase price of the reopened notes exceeds the principal amount of the reopened notes, purchasers of the
reopened notes may elect to treat the excess (after excluding the portion of the purchase price attributable to accrued interest) as
amortizable bond premium as described under "United States Taxation -- Taxation of Debt Securities -- United States Holders --
Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium" in the accompanying prospectus. If you are a purchaser of the reopened notes and make
this election, you would reduce the amount required to be included in your income each year with respect to interest on the
reopened notes by the amount of amortizable bond premium allocable to that year, based on the reopened note's yield to
maturity. If you make an election to amortize bond premium, the election would apply to all debt instruments, other than debt
instruments the interest on which is excludible from gross income, that you hold at the beginning of the first taxable year to which
the election applies or that you thereafter acquire, and you may not revoke the election without the consent of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service.

This section is only relevant to you if you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit
plan (including a governmental plan, an IRA or a Keogh Plan) proposing to invest in the notes.
The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), prohibit certain transactions ("prohibited transactions") involving the assets of an employee benefit
plan that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (including individual retirement
accounts, Keogh plans and other plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) (a "Plan") and certain persons who are
"parties in interest" (within the meaning of ERISA) or "disqualified persons" (within the meaning of the Code) with respect to the
Plan; governmental plans may be subject to similar prohibitions unless an exemption applies to the transaction. The assets of a
Plan may include assets held in the general account of an insurance company that are deemed "plan assets" under ERISA or
assets of certain investment vehicles in which the Plan invests. Each of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates

may be considered a "party in interest" or a "disqualified person" with respect to many Plans, and, accordingly, prohibited
transactions may arise if the notes are acquired by or on behalf of a Plan unless those notes are acquired and held pursuant to an
available exemption. In general, available exemptions are: transactions effected on behalf of that Plan by a "qualified professional
asset manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 84-14) or an "in-house asset manager" (prohibited transaction exemption 96-23),
transactions involving insurance company general accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 95-60), transactions involving
insurance company pooled separate accounts (prohibited transaction exemption 90-1), transactions involving bank collective
investment funds (prohibited transaction exemption 91-38) and transactions with service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of
ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code where the Plan receives no less and pays no more than "adequate consideration"
(within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code). The person making the decision on
behalf of a Plan or a governmental plan shall be deemed, on behalf of itself and the plan, by purchasing and holding the notes, or
exercising any rights related thereto, to represent that (a) the plan will receive no less and pay no more than "adequate
consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(f)(10) of the Code) in connection with the
purchase and holding of the notes, (b) none of the purchase, holding or disposition of the notes or the exercise of any rights related
to the notes will result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (or, with respect to a governmental plan,
under any similar applicable law or regulation), and (c) neither The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates is a
"fiduciary" (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (or any regulations thereunder) or, with respect to a governmental plan,
under any similar applicable law or regulation) with respect to the purchaser or holder in connection with such person's acquisition,
disposition or holding of the notes, or as a result of any exercise by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates of any
rights in connection with the notes, and no advice provided by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. or any of its affiliates has formed a
primary basis for any investment decision by or on behalf of such purchaser or holder in connection with the notes and the
transactions contemplated with respect to the notes.

If you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan (including a governmental
plan, an IRA or a Keogh plan) and propose to invest in the notes described in this prospectus supplement and accompanying
prospectus, you should consult your legal counsel.

professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate reports dated (i) May 5, 2016, (ii) August 3, 2016
and (iii) November 2, 2016 incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement state that they did not audit and they do not
express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their
reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because those reports are not a "report" or a "part" of the registration
statements prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of
1933.

Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs International that they intend to make a market in the notes. Other affiliates of The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. may also do so. Neither Goldman, Sachs & Co. or Goldman Sachs International nor any other affiliate, however,
is obligated to do so and any of them may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to
the liquidity or the trading market for the notes.
Please note that the information about the original issue date, original price to public and net proceeds to The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. on the front cover page relates only to the initial sale of the reopened notes. If you have purchased a note in a
market-making transaction after the initial sale, information about the price 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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") member

circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; and

the notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
