LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent on the second London business day (as defined in the accompanying

· 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
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312517232639/d425475d424b2.htm[7/21/2017 1:05:13 PM]

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.

S-5
Table of Contents
In this subsection, we use several terms that have special meanings relevant to calculating LIBOR. We define these terms as
follows:
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 Thomson Reuters Eikon service, or any successor or replacement
service.

Please refer to the discussion under "Considerations Relating to 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
Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities --
Interest Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be
calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued interest
factor will be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the specified day count convention.
The day count convention is Actual/360 (ISDA), and the factor is the actual number of days in the interest period divided by
360, as described in Section 4.16(e) of the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, without regard to any subsequent amendments or supplements.
The Calculation Agent Will Have the Authority to Make Determinations That Could Affect the Market Value of Your Notes
We have appointed Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as the calculation agent for the notes. As calculation agent for your notes,
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will make determinations with respect to the notes as specified in this prospectus supplement and in

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

(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, 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 neither The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. nor any of its affiliates has provided investment advice in connection with such
person's acquisition, disposition or holding of the notes.

If you are an insurance company or the fiduciary of a pension plan or an employee benefit plan (including a governmental

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information.
However, their separate report dated May 3, 2017 incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement states 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 report 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 report on
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements because that report is 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

The notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial price to public set forth on the cover of
this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial price
to public of up to 0.210% of the principal amount of the notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the
underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial price to public of up to 0.100% of the principal amount
of the notes. If all the notes are not sold at the initial price to public, the underwriters may change the initial price to public and the
other selling terms. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to their receipt and acceptance of the notes and subject
to their right to reject any order in whole or in part.
The underwriters intend to offer the notes for sale in the United States either directly or through affiliates or other dealers
acting as selling agents. The underwriters may also offer the notes for sale outside the United States either directly or through
affiliates or other dealers acting as selling agents. This prospectus supplement may be used by the underwriters and other dealers

offers and sales of notes made in the United States, including offers and sales in the United States of notes initially sold outside
the United States. The notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of offers
or sales outside the United States.
The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have been advised by Goldman Sachs & Co.
LLC 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. LLC 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 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
broker-dealers, as permitted by FINRA regulations.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State"), each underwriter has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the
Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date") it has not made and will
not make an offer of notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement to the public in that
Relevant Member State except that, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, an offer of such notes may
be made to the public in that Relevant Member State:

(a) at any time to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(b) at any time to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus

Directive), subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant Dealer or Dealers nominated by the issuer for any such
offer; or

(c) at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of notes referred to above shall require the issuer or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant
to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of notes to the public" in relation to any notes in any Relevant
Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the
notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as the same may be varied in that
Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression "Prospectus Directive"
means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing measure in
the Relevant Member State.
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:

(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an
invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and

Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA")) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the notes in circumstances in which
Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; and

defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder, or (ii) in
other circumstances which do not result in the document being a "prospectus" as defined in the Companies (Winding Up and
Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or which do not constitute an offer to the public within
the meaning of that Ordinance; and no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the notes may be issued or may be in the
possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the
