ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 23, 1999, GS Financial Products U.S., L.P. (the "Company")
repurchased from an affiliate $36.5 million aggregate principal amount of the
Company's S&P Enhanced Stock Index Growth Notes due August 9, 2002 (the
"E-SIGNS"), representing 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the E-SIGNS
outstanding, at a purchase price of $43 per $25 aggregate face amount of each
E-SIGN repurchased. The Company cancelled the repurchased E-SIGNS on August 26,
1999.
The repurchase of the E-SIGNS was funded through the early termination
of various derivative transactions with affiliates that the Company entered into
to hedge its obligations under the E-SIGNS and cash provided by operations.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. acts as a market maker for the E-SIGNS, but may
cease such market making at any time without notice. The E-SIGNS are listed on
the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "GSA."
