For information with respect to the underlying
securities held by PPLUS Trust Series GSC-2, please refer to
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.'s (Commission file number
001-14965) periodic reports, including annual reports on Form
10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on
Form 8-K, and other information on file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). You can read and copy
these reports and other information at the public reference
facilities maintained by the SEC at Room 1580, 100 F Street,
NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain copies of this
material for a fee by writing to the SEC's Public Reference
Section of the SEC at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C.
20549. You may obtain information about the operation of the
Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
You can also access some of this information electronically by
means of the SEC's website on the Internet at
http://www.sec.gov, which contains reports, proxy and
information statements and other information that the
underlying securities guarantor and the underlying securities
issuer has filed electronically with the SEC.
Although we have no reason to believe the information
concerning the underlying securities and the junior
subordinated debentures or the underlying securities issuer
and the underlying securities guarantor contained in the
underlying securities guarantor's Exchange Act reports is not
reliable, neither the depositor nor the trustee participated
in the preparation of such documents or made any due diligence
inquiry with respect to the information provided therein. No
investigation with respect to the underlying securities issuer
and the underlying securities guarantor (including, without
limitation, no investigation as to their financial condition
or creditworthiness) or of the underlying securities and the
junior subordinated debentures has been made. You should
obtain and evaluate the same information concerning the
underlying securities issuer and the underlying securities
guarantor as you would obtain and evaluate if your investment
were directly in the underlying securities or in other
securities issued by the underlying securities issuer or the
underlying securities guarantor. There can be no assurance
that events affecting the underlying securities and the junior
subordinated debentures or the underlying securities issuer
and the underlying securities guarantor have not occurred or
have not yet been publicly disclosed which would affect the
accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above.
