$2,000,000
Fixed and Floating Rate Notes due 2023
(Linked to the Non-Seasonally Adjusted U.S. City Average All Items
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers)


We wil pay a fixed rate of interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum on the 17th of each month, commencing on
November 17, 2013 to, and including, October 17, 2014. After October 17, 2014, interest wil be payable on the 17th of
each month, commencing on November 17, 2014 to, and including, the stated maturity date (October 17, 2023), at a
floating rate equal to the then-applicable annual inflation rate plus the spread of 1.00%, subject to the minimum interest
rate of 0.00% per annum. The annual inflation rate wil be determined by the change in the level of the non-seasonally
adjusted U.S. City Average Al Items Consumer Price Index for Al Urban Consumers (which we refer to as the index)
over the one-year period that ends three months prior to the related interest payment date (which we refer to as the
annual inflation rate). 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.

We wil calculate your monthly interest rate as fol ows for each monthly interest period commencing on or after
October 17, 2014 to, but excluding, the stated maturity date (each of which we refer to as a floating rate interest
period): on each interest determination date, we wil first determine the annual inflation rate by calculating the
percentage increase or decrease in the level of the index from the level of the index as of the month that is fifteen
months prior to the relevant interest payment date to the level of the index as of the month that is three months prior to
the relevant interest payment date. With respect to any given monthly interest period during the floating rate interest
period, the interest rate applicable to your notes wil equal the annual inflation rate with respect to that interest period,
plus the spread. The interest rate wil not be less than the minimum interest rate. Interest payments on your notes during
the floating rate interest period, if any, wil reflect only the year-over-year percentage change in the index as measured
monthly with respect to the floating rate period. If the annual inflation rate decreases (i.e., is negative for any floating
rate period) by more than the spread of 1.00% for any monthly interest period during the floating rate interest period,
you wil receive no interest payments on your notes for such interest period.

The per annum interest rate on your notes for the floating rate interest periods wil be a rate equal to:

·
the annual inflation rate on the interest determination date for a floating rate interest period plus the spread,

subject to the minimum interest rate.

Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things, our credit risk. See
page S-6. The notes are not subject to a survivor's option to request repayment prior to the stated maturity
date upon the death of a beneficial owner.

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. and taking into account our credit
spreads) was equal to approximately $954 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.

Original issue date:
October 17, 2013
Original issue price:
100.00% of the face amount
Underwriting discount:
2.25% of the face amount Net proceeds to the issuer:
97.75% of the face amount

On August 22, 2013, Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") announced that it had placed the senior and
subordinated debt ratings of the holding companies of the largest U.S. banks under review as it considers reducing its
government (or systemic) support assumptions to reflect the impact of 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 and examples are provided for purposes of il ustration only. They should not be taken as an
indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to il ustrate the method we wil use to
calculate the amount of interest accrued during each floating rate interest period.

The table below is based on annual inflation rates that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the level of
the index wil be on any day, 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 annual inflation rates, 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 levels of the index and hypothetical
interest rates shown elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. For information about the annual inflation rates during
recent periods, see "The Index -- Historical Levels of the Index" on page S-18. Before investing in the offered notes, you
should consult publicly available information to determine the levels of the index 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 annual inflation rates
determined on a given interest determination date. The right column of the table below represents 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 annual inflation rate. The information in the table also reflects the
key terms and assumptions in the box below.

Table of Contents

For example, using the hypothetical index levels assumed below, the hypothetical interest rate payable on the
notes for the floating rate interest payment date fal ing on November 17, 2014, using the rates assumed below, would be
2.768% per annum. This hypothetical per annum interest rate is calculated by inserting the fol owing index levels into the
interest rate formula described under "Specific Terms of the Notes -- Annual Inflation Rate":

CPI(t-3) = 238.012, which is assumed to be the index level for August 2014, the third calendar month prior to the
interest payment date on November 17, 2014; and

CPI(t-15) = 233.877, which is the index level for August 2013, the fifteenth calendar month prior to the interest
payment date on November 17, 2014,

so to determine the annual inflation rate with respect to the interest payment date on November 17, 2014,

(238.012­233.877) / 233.877 = 1.768%. Since the year-over-year annual inflation rate for August 2014 is 1.768%,
the interest rate for the interest payment due on November 17, 2014 would be

1.768% + 1.00% = 2.768% per annum.

The interest payment on November 17, 2014 would be $1,000 times 2.768% times the accrued interest factor
using the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention (or $1,000 times 0.231%).

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 economically 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 annual levels of the index on any day or the market value of your notes, nor can
we predict the relationship between the actual annual inflation 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 annual
inflation 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 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.) Was Less Than the Original Issue
Price Of Your Notes

The original issue price for your notes exceeds the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your
notes were set on the trade date, as determined by reference to Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models and taking into
account our credit spreads. Such estimated value on the trade date is set forth on the cover of this prospectus
supplement; after the trade date, the estimated value as determined by reference to these models wil be affected by
changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness and other relevant factors. If Goldman, Sachs & Co. buys or sel s
your notes it wil do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to such pricing models at that
time. The price at which Goldman, Sachs & Co. wil buy or sel your notes at any time also wil reflect its then current bid
and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes.

In estimating the value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes were set on the trade date, as disclosed
on the front cover of this prospectus supplement, Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s pricing models consider certain variables,
including principal y our credit spreads, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), volatility, price-sensitivity
analysis and the time to maturity of the notes. These pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain
assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you
sold your notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps material y, from the estimated value of
your notes determined by reference to our models due to, among other things, any differences in pricing models or
assumptions used by others. See "-- The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Factors That Are
Unpredictable and Interrelated in Complex Ways" below.

The difference between the estimated value of your notes as of the time the terms of your notes were set on the
trade date and the original issue price is a result of certain factors, including principal y the underwriting discount and
commissions, the expenses incurred in creating, documenting and marketing the notes, and an estimate of the difference
between the amounts we pay to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the amounts Goldman, Sachs & Co. pays to us in
connection with your notes. We pay to Goldman, Sachs & Co. amounts based on what we would pay to holders of a
non-structured note with a similar maturity. In return for such payment, Goldman, Sachs & Co. pays to us the amounts
we owe under your notes.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your notes at any time wil reflect many
factors and cannot be predicted. If Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes a market in the notes, the price quoted by Goldman,
Sachs & Co. would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in our
creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness. These changes may adversely affect the value of your notes, including
the price you may receive for your notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that Goldman, Sachs & Co.
makes a market in the notes, the quoted price wil reflect the estimated value determined by reference to Goldman,
Sachs & Co.'s pricing models at that time, plus or minus its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of
structured notes.

Furthermore, if you sell your notes, you wil likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or
the price wil likely reflect a dealer discount. This commission or discount wil further reduce the proceeds you would
receive for your notes in a secondary market sale.
