Fixed and Floating Rate Notes due 2023




We wil pay a fixed rate of interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum quarterly on March 23, June 23, September 23 and December 23 of each year,
commencing on December 23, 2013 to, and including, September 23, 2015. After September 23, 2015, interest wil be payable quarterly on
March 23, June 23, September 23 and December 23 of each year, commencing on December 23, 2015 to, and including, the stated maturity date
(September 23, 2023) at a floating rate equal to the then-applicable 3-month USD LIBOR rate plus the spread of 1.00% per annum, subject to the
minimum interest rate of 0.00% per annum and the maximum interest rate of 7.00% per annum. The notes wil mature on the stated maturity date. On
the stated maturity date, you wil receive $1,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes.
The interest on your notes for each quarterly interest period commencing on or after September 23, 2015 to, but excluding, the stated maturity
date, each of which we refer to as a "floating rate interest period", wil be a rate equal to the then-applicable 3-month USD LIBOR rate on the interest
determination date for the floating rate interest period plus the spread, subject to the minimum interest rate and the maximum interest rate. The interest
rate on your notes for the floating rate interest periods commencing on or after September 23, 2015 to, but excluding, the stated maturity date wil be a
rate equal to:

· If the 3-month USD LIBOR rate on the interest determination date for a floating rate interest period plus the spread is less than the

maximum interest rate, the 3-month USD LIBOR rate on such interest determination date plus the spread, subject to the minimum interest
rate; or

· If the 3-month USD LIBOR rate on the interest determination date for a floating rate interest period plus the spread is equal to or greater

than the maximum interest rate, the maximum interest rate.
For the floating rate interest periods commencing on or after September 23, 2015 to, but excluding, the stated maturity date, even if
the 3-month USD LIBOR rate on an interest determination date plus the spread is greater than 7.00% per annum, the notes will accrue only
7.00% per annum in the applicable interest period.
Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things, our credit risk. See page S-6.
You should read the additional disclosure herein so that you may better understand the terms and risks of your investment.

U.S. bank resolution policies. Four of these holding companies, including The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., are under review for a credit ratings
downgrade by Moody's.

Table of Contents
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES
The fol owing table is provided for purposes of il ustration only. It should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results
and is intended merely to il ustrate the method we wil use to calculate the amount of interest accrued during each interest period fol owing the fourth
interest period.
The table below is based on 3-month USD LIBOR rates that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the 3-month USD LIBOR rate wil
be on any day during the floating rate interest periods, and no one can predict the interest that wil accrue on your notes in any interest period during
the floating rate interest periods.
For these reasons, the actual 3-month USD LIBOR rates during the floating rate interest periods, as wel as the interest payable on each floating
rate interest payment date, may bear little relation to the hypothetical table shown below or to the historical 3-month USD LIBOR rates shown
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. For information about the 3-month USD LIBOR rates during recent periods, see "Historical 3-Month USD
LIBOR Rates" on page S-10. Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the 3-month USD
LIBOR rates between the date of this prospectus supplement and the date of your purchase of the offered notes.
The fol owing table il ustrates the method we wil use to calculate the interest rate at which interest wil accrue on each day included in each
floating rate interest period, subject to the key terms and assumptions below.
The percentage amounts in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final 3-month USD LIBOR rates on a given interest
determination date. The center and right columns of the table below represent the hypothetical interest, as a percentage of the face amount of each
note, that would be payable on a given floating rate interest payment date, based on the corresponding hypothetical 3-month USD LIBOR rate. The
information in the table also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

Table of Contents
Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For example,
payments on the notes are economical y equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought, and an
option bought, by the holder (with an implicit option premium paid over time by the holder). The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect
the terms of the notes or the United States income tax treatment of the notes, as described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.

We cannot predict the actual 3-month USD LIBOR rate on any day or the market value of your notes, nor can we predict the relationship
between the 3-month USD LIBOR rate and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual interest payment
that a holder of the offered notes will receive on each floating rate interest payment date and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on
the actual 3-month USD LIBOR rates determined by the calculation agent over the life of your notes. Moreover, the assumptions on which the
hypothetical table is based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the interest amount to be paid in respect of your notes on each floating
rate interest payment date may be very different from the information reflected in the table above.

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 Floating
Rate Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus dated September 19, 2011. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt
securities. 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. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.
The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer
Although the return on the notes wil be based in part on the performance of the 3 month-USD LIBOR, 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.
The Amount of Interest Payable On The Notes In Certain Interest Periods Is Capped
For each floating rate interest period commencing on or after September 23, 2015, on the applicable interest determination date, the 3-month
USD LIBOR rate plus the spread wil be subject to the maximum interest rate of 7.00% per annum, which wil limit the amount of interest you may
receive on each floating rate interest payment date. Thus, you wil not benefit from any increases in the 3-month USD LIBOR rate plus the spread
above the maximum interest rate. Accordingly, the notes may provide more or less interest income than an investment in a similar instrument.
We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Face Amount of the Notes at a Different Issue Price
At our sole option, we may decide to sel an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the date of this prospectus
supplement. The issue price of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantial y (higher or lower) from the issue price you paid as provided on
the cover of this prospectus supplement.
The Amount of Interest Payable on Your Notes Will Not Be Affected by the 3-Month USD LIBOR Rate on Any Day Other Than an Interest
Determination Date
For each interest period after the first eight interest periods, the amount of interest payable on each floating rate interest payment date is
calculated based on the 3-month USD LIBOR rate on the applicable interest determination date plus the spread. Although the actual 3-month USD
LIBOR rate on a floating rate interest payment date or at other times during a floating rate interest period may be higher than the 3-month USD LIBOR
rate on the applicable interest determination date, you wil not benefit from the 3-month USD LIBOR rate at any time other than on the interest
determination date for such floating rate interest period.
Increased Regulatory Oversight and Changes in the Method Pursuant to Which the LIBOR Rates Are Determined May Adversely Affect the
Value of Your Notes
Beginning in 2008, concerns were raised that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Bankers' Association (the "BBA") in connection
with the calculation of LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have been under-reporting or otherwise manipulating the inter-bank
lending rate applicable to them. A number of BBA member banks have entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with
respect to al eged manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations were instigated by regulators and governmental authorities in various jurisdictions
(including in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan and Canada). If manipulation of LIBOR or another inter-bank lending rate
occurred, it may have resulted in that rate being artificial y lower (or higher) than it otherwise would have been.
In September 2012, the U.K. government published the results of its review of LIBOR (commonly referred to as the "Wheatley Review"). The
Wheatley Review made a number of recommendations for changes with respect to LIBOR including the introduction of statutory regulation of LIBOR,
the transfer of responsibility for LIBOR from the BBA to an independent administrator, changes to the method of compilation of lending rates and new
regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms for rate-setting. Based on the Wheatley Review, final rules for the regulation and supervision of
LIBOR by the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") were published and came into effect on April 2, 2013 (the "FCA Rules"). In particular, the FCA
Rules include requirements that (1) an independent LIBOR administrator monitor and survey LIBOR submissions to identify breaches of practice
standards and/or potential y manipulative behavior, and (2) firms submitting data to LIBOR establish and maintain a clear conflicts of interest policy and
appropriate systems and controls.

Prospectus Supplement No. 2425 dated September 18, 2013
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312513373411/...
Table of Contents
It is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA Rules, any changes in the methods pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and any
other reforms to LIBOR that wil be enacted in the U.K. and elsewhere, which may adversely affect the trading market for LIBOR-based securities. In
addition, any changes announced by the FCA, the BBA or any other successor governance or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body,
in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported LIBOR
rates. If that were to occur and to the extent that the value of your securities is affected by reported LIBOR rates, the level of interest payments and
the value of the securities may be affected. Further, uncertainty as to the extent and manner in which the Wheatley Review recommendations will
continue to be adopted and the timing of such changes may adversely affect the current trading market for LIBOR-based securities and the value of
your notes.
The Historical Levels of the 3-month USD LIBOR Rate Are Not an Indication of the Future Levels of the 3-month USD LIBOR Rate
In the past, the level of the 3-month USD LIBOR rate has experienced significant fluctuations. You should note that historical levels, fluctuations
and trends of the 3-month USD LIBOR rate are not necessarily indicative of future levels. Any historical upward or downward trend in the 3-month USD
LIBOR rate is not an indication that the 3-month USD LIBOR rate is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during a floating rate
interest period, and you should not take the historical levels of the 3-month USD LIBOR rate as an indication of its future performance.
The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Factors That Are Unpredictable and Interrelated in Complex Ways
When we refer to the market value of your notes, we mean the value that you could receive for your notes if you chose to sel it in the open
market before the stated maturity date. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, wil influence the market value of your notes,
including:


· the 3-month USD LIBOR rate;


· the volatility -- i.e., the frequency and magnitude of changes -- in the level of the 3-month USD LIBOR rate;


· economic, financial, regulatory, political, military and other events that affect LIBOR rates generally;


· other interest rates and yield rates in the market;


· the time remaining until your notes mature; and

· our creditworthiness, whether actual or perceived, and including actual or anticipated upgrades or downgrades in our credit ratings or

changes in other credit measures.
These factors, and many other factors, wil influence the price you wil receive if you sel your notes before maturity, including the price you may
receive for your notes in any market making transaction. If you sel your notes before maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your
notes.
You cannot predict the future performance of the 3-month USD LIBOR rate based on its historical performance. The actual performance of the
3-month USD LIBOR rate during the floating rate interest periods, as wel as the interest payable on each floating rate interest payment date may bear
little or no relation to the hypothetical levels of the 3-month USD LIBOR rate or to the hypothetical examples shown elsewhere in this prospectus
supplement.
If the 3-month USD LIBOR Rate Changes, the Market Value of Your Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner
The price of your notes may move differently than the 3-month USD LIBOR rate. Changes in the 3-month USD LIBOR rate may not result in a
comparable change in the market value of your notes. We discuss some of the reasons for this disparity under "-- The Amount of Interest Payable on
Your Notes Wil Not Be Affected by the 3-Month USD LIBOR Rate on Any Day Other Than an Interest Determination Date" and "-- The Market Value
of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Factors That Are Unpredictable and Interrelated in Complex Ways" above.
Goldman Sachs' Anticipated Hedging Activities May Negatively Impact Investors in the Notes and Cause our Interests and Those of Our
Clients and Counterparties to be Contrary to Those of Investors in the Notes
Goldman Sachs expects to hedge our obligations under the notes by purchasing futures and/or other instruments linked to 3-month USD LIBOR.
We also expect to adjust our hedge by, among other things, purchasing or sel ing any of the foregoing, and perhaps other instruments linked to the
3-month USD LIBOR, at any time and from time to time, and to unwind the hedge by sel ing any of the foregoing on or before the determination date for
your notes. We may also enter into, adjust and unwind hedging transactions relating to other rate-linked notes whose returns are linked to changes in
the level of 3-month USD LIBOR.
Any of these hedging or other activities may adversely affect the levels of the 3-month USD LIBOR and therefore the market value of your notes
and the amount we wil pay on your notes. In addition, you should expect that these

Table of Contents
transactions wil cause Goldman Sachs or its clients or counterparties to have economic interests and incentives that do not align with, and that may be
directly contrary to, those of an investor in the notes. Goldman Sachs wil have no obligation to take, refrain from taking or cease taking any action with
respect to these transactions based on the potential effect on an investor in the notes, and may receive substantial returns on hedging or other activities
while the value of your notes declines.
As Calculation Agent, Goldman, Sachs & Co. Will Have the Authority to Make Determinations that Could Affect the Value of Your Notes and
the Amount You May Receive On Any Interest Payment Date
As calculation agent for your notes, Goldman, Sachs & Co. wil have discretion in making certain determinations that affect your notes, including
determining the 3-month USD LIBOR rate on any interest determination date, which we wil use to determine the amount we wil pay on any applicable
interest payment date during the floating rate interest periods. The exercise of this discretion by Goldman, Sachs & Co. could adversely affect the value
of your notes and may present Goldman, Sachs & Co. with a conflict of interest. We may change the calculation agent at any time without notice and
Goldman, Sachs & Co. may resign as calculation agent at any time upon 60 days' written notice to Goldman Sachs.
Your Notes May Not Have an Active Trading Market
Your notes wil not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or included in any interdealer market quotation system, and there may be
little or no secondary market for your notes. Even if a secondary market for your notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity and we expect
that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and asked prices for your notes in any secondary
market could be substantial.
Certain Considerations for Insurance Companies and Employee Benefit Plans

USE OF PROCEEDS
We wil use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the offered notes for the purposes we describe in the accompanying prospectus under
"Use of Proceeds".
HEDGING
In anticipation of the sale of the offered notes, we and/or our affiliates have entered into or expect to enter into hedging transactions involving
purchases of instruments linked to the 3-month USD LIBOR rate. In addition, from time to time, we and/or our affiliates expect to enter into additional
hedging transactions and to unwind those we have entered into, in connection with the offered notes and perhaps in connection with other notes we
issue, some of which may have returns linked to the 3-month USD LIBOR rate. Consequently, with regard to your notes, from time to time, we and/or
our affiliates:

· expect to acquire or dispose of positions in over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments linked to the 3-month USD LIBOR

rate, and/or

· may take short positions in securities of the kind described above -- i.e., we and/or our affiliates may sel securities of the kind that we

do not own or that we borrow for delivery to purchaser, and/or


· may take or dispose of positions in interest rate swaps, options swaps and treasury bonds.
We and/or our affiliates may also acquire a long or short position in securities similar to your notes from time to time and may, in our or their sole
discretion, hold or resel those securities.
In the future, we and/or our affiliates expect to close out hedge positions relating to the offered notes and perhaps relating to other notes with
returns linked to the 3-month USD LIBOR rate. These steps may also involve sales and/or purchases of some or al of the listed or over-the-counter
options, futures or other instruments linked to the 3-month USD LIBOR.

The hedging activity discussed above may adversely affect the market value of your notes from time to time and the amount we will pay on
your notes. See "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes" above for a discussion of these adverse effects.
