SEC Rule 606 (formerly known as Rule 11Ac1-6)

Disclosure of SEC-Required Order Routing Information

4th Quarter 2009

Important Note

In accordance with SEC requirements, Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") is publishing statistical information about our routing of certain customers' orders in NASDAQ and listed stocks and listed options.

Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules require broker-dealers that route orders in certain equity and option securities to make available quarterly reports that present a general overview of their routing practices. You should note that based on the SEC's requirements, these statistics capture only a portion of Goldman Sachs' order flow.

The required statistics are intended to provide only an overview of our order routing practices. Accordingly, the statistics do not create a reliable basis on which to assess whether Goldman Sachs or any other trading venue has satisfied its duty of best execution.

We have made every attempt to prepare these statistics in compliance with the SEC's rules. However, these statistics have not been audited and may contain errors. Accordingly, any decision about whether to open an account or to direct orders to Goldman Sachs should not be based solely on these statistics, but on an evaluation of the full range of services that we provide.

You may visit the SEC Web site for more information on the Disclosure of SEC-Required Order Execution and Routing Practices , Regulation NMS and interpretative frequently asked questions ( Staff Legal Bulletin No. 13A).
