This Amendment No. 89 to a Statement on Schedule 13D amends and
restates in its entirety such Schedule 13D (as so amended and restated, this
"Schedule"). This Amendment No. 89 is being filed primarily because the number
of shares of Common Stock (as defined in Item 1 below) beneficially owned by
Covered Persons (as defined in Item 2 below) has decreased by an amount in
excess of one percent of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

ITEM 1. Security and Issuer

This Schedule relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Inc."), a Delaware
corporation. The address of the principal executive offices of GS Inc. is 200

ITEM 2. Identity and Background

hereto contain the names of the individuals ("Covered Persons") who are parties
to an Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement, originally dated as of
May 7, 1999 and amended and restated effective as of January 15, 2015 (as
amended from time to time, the "Shareholders' Agreement"). This filing is being
made on behalf of all of the Covered Persons, and their agreement that this
filing may be so made is contained in the Shareholders' Agreement.

Appendix A hereto also provides the citizenship of each Covered
Person. Each Covered Person is a current or former Participating Managing
Director (as defined in Item 6 below) of GS Inc. or one of its affiliates. GS
Inc. is a global investment banking, securities and investment management firm.
The business address of each Covered Person for purposes of this Schedule is
200 West Street, New York, New York 10282.

Each entity listed on Appendix A under "Reporting Entities" (each a
"Reporting Entity") is a trust or corporation created by or for a Covered
Person for estate planning purposes. Each Reporting Entity is controlled by a
Covered Person. The name, citizenship, business address and present principal
occupation or employment of each of the directors and executive officers of
each Reporting Entity that is a corporation (other than the Covered Person that
established the Reporting Entity) are set forth in Annex A hereto. The business
address of each Reporting Entity for purposes of this Schedule is: (i) in the
case of entities organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, 26 New Street,
St. Helier, Jersey, JE2 3RA; and (ii) in the case of entities organized in the
Cayman Islands, P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town,
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

(d), (e) Except as described in Annex A or Annex B, during the last
five years no Covered Person and, to the best knowledge of the Covered Persons,
no executive officer or director of a Reporting Entity, has been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or
has been a party to a civil proceeding or a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction resulting in such Covered Person or executive officer or
director being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Covered Persons have acquired and will acquire shares of Common
Stock in the following manners: (i) the former profit participating limited
partners active in the business of The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. ("Group L.P.")
(the "IPO PMDs") acquired certain shares of Common Stock in exchange for their
interests in Group L.P. and certain of its affiliates and investee
corporations; (ii) the former owners (the "Acquisition Covered Persons") of
Hull and Associates, L.L.C. ("Hull") and Goldman Sachs & Partners Australia
Group Holdings Pty Ltd ("GS&PA") acquired certain shares of Common Stock in
exchange for their interests in Hull and GS&PA, respectively; and (iii) certain
Covered Persons have acquired and will acquire beneficial ownership of certain
shares of Common Stock in connection with GS Inc.'s initial public offering
and/or pursuant to GS Inc.'s employee compensation, benefit or similar plans.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transactions

The Covered Persons, other than the Acquisition Covered Persons,

Inc. to the business of Group L.P. and GS Inc.'s initial public offering and/or
through certain employee compensation, benefit or similar plans of GS Inc. The
Acquisition Covered Persons acquired certain shares of Common Stock in
connection with the acquisition by GS Inc. of Hull or GS&PA, as applicable, and
through certain employee compensation, benefit or similar plans of GS Inc. The
Reporting Entities acquired shares of Common Stock as contributions or gifts

Covered Persons may from time to time acquire shares of Common Stock

for the acquisition by Covered Persons or their Reporting Entities of Common
Stock pursuant to employee compensation, benefit or similar plans of GS Inc. in
the future or as described above, none of the Covered Persons has any plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in the acquisition of additional
Common Stock by them or their Reporting Entities or any of the other events
described in Item 4(a) through 4(j).

Each Covered Person is expected to evaluate on an ongoing basis GS
Inc.'s financial condition and prospects and his or her interests in and with
respect to GS Inc. Accordingly, each Covered Person may change his or her plans
and intentions at any time and from time to time. In particular, each Covered
Person or Reporting Entity may at any time and from time to time acquire or
dispose of shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) Rows (11) and (13) of the cover page to this Schedule and Appendix
A are hereby incorporated by reference. Each Covered Person hereby disclaims
beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held by any other Covered
Person. Except as described in Annex D, none of the shares of Common Stock
reported in rows (11) and (13) of the cover page to this Schedule and Appendix
A are shares as to which there is a right to acquire exercisable within 60 days.

(b) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover page to this Schedule set forth
for each Covered Person and Reporting Entity: the percentage range of Voting
Shares, Shared Ownership Shares, Sixty Day Shares and Other Shares (each as
defined on the cover page hereof) as to which there is sole power to vote or
direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition or shared power to vote
or direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition. The power to vote
Voting Shares by Covered Persons is shared with each other Covered Person, as
described below in response to Item 6. Each Covered Person hereby disclaims
beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held by any other Covered
Person.

(c) Except as described in Annex E or previously reported on Schedule
13D, no Covered Person or Reporting Entity has effected any transactions in
Common Stock in the 60 days preceding October 1, 2015.

(d), (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer

Each Covered Person listed on the cover page to this Schedule and
Appendix A hereto is a party to the Shareholders' Agreement. The Shareholders'
Agreement and forms of the Counterparts to the Shareholders' Agreement are
filed as Exhibits to this Schedule, and the following summary of the terms of
the Shareholders' Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
References to the "board of directors" are to the board of directors of GS Inc.

The Covered Persons under the Shareholders' Agreement include all
Managing Directors of GS Inc. who participate in the GS Inc. Partner
Compensation Plan or Restricted Partner Compensation Plan (each as defined in
the Shareholders' Agreement) or any other employee benefit plan specified by
the Shareholders' Committee

-10-

<PAGE>

described below under "Information Regarding the Shareholders' Committee" (the
"Participating Managing Directors").

The "Voting Shares" include all of the shares of Common Stock of which
a Covered Person (or, in approved cases, his or her spouse or domestic partner)
is the sole beneficial owner (excluding shares of Common Stock held by the
trust underlying The Goldman Sachs 401(k) Plan). The interest of a spouse or
domestic partner in a joint account, an economic interest of GS Inc. as
pledgee, and the interest of certain persons in the Reporting Entities and
other approved estate planning vehicles will be disregarded for the purposes of
determining whether a Covered Person is the sole beneficial owner of shares of
Common Stock.

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

Each Covered Person has agreed in the Shareholders' Agreement, among
other things, to retain sole beneficial ownership of a number of shares of
Common Stock at least equal to 25% of such Covered Person's Covered Shares (as
defined below); provided, that with respect to 2009 year-end equity awards
granted in accordance with the equity deferral table approved by the board of
directors or its Compensation Committee, such number shall equal 30% of the
Covered Shares relating thereto (the "General Transfer Restrictions").
Effective January 15, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), in connection with GS Inc.'s
implementation of stock ownership guidelines (the "Guidelines") for its senior
executive officers, the transfer restrictions in the Shareholders' Agreement
applicable to certain senior officers designated by the Shareholders' Committee
(the "Special Transfer Restrictions" and, together with the General Transfer
Restrictions, the "Transfer Restrictions") were amended to require such
officers to retain sole beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common
Stock at least equal to 50% of the increase (or, if such Covered Person is then
the chief executive officer of GS Inc., 75% of the increase) in Covered Shares
received by or delivered to such Covered Person following the Effective Date.
The prior Special Transfer Restrictions, which required each senior officer to
retain 75% of his or her Covered Shares, will continue to apply to deliveries
made prior to the Effective Date. The Guidelines require that the Corporation's
chief executive officer hold shares of common stock equal to 10 times his or
her base salary and each other senior executive officer hold shares of common
stock equal to 6 times his or her base salary. The same shares may be used to
satisfy the Guidelines, the Special Transfer Restrictions and the General
Transfer Restrictions. The Transfer Restrictions applicable to a Covered Person
terminate upon the death of the Covered Person. Shares beneficially owned by a
Covered Person through a Reporting Entity or certain other approved estate
planning vehicles established by Covered Persons or, as applicable, by the
Covered Person's spouse or domestic partner are generally deemed to count
toward the satisfaction of the Transfer Restrictions.

For these purposes, "Covered Shares," with respect to a Covered
Person, will be recalculated each time the Covered Person receives Common Stock
underlying an award of restricted stock units, exercises a stock option (not
including, in each case, awards in connection with GS Inc.'s initial public
offering) or receives an award of restricted stock. The calculation of Covered
Shares will include the gross number of shares underlying such restricted stock
units or stock options or the gross number of shares of restricted stock, in
each case less (i) a number of shares determined by reference to tax rates
specified by the Shareholders' Committee and (ii) the number of shares
necessary to cover the option exercise price, if applicable (all as calculated
pursuant to a formula set out in the Shareholders' Agreement). The calculation
of Covered Shares will only take into account awards that occurred after the
Covered Person became a Participating Managing Director. The Shareholders'
Committee has the power to determine, and has determined from time to time in
particular situations, whether restricted stock or shares of Common Stock
delivered pursuant to restricted stock units or stock options are deemed
"Covered Shares."

WAIVERS

The Shareholders' Committee has the power to waive, and has waived,
the Transfer Restrictions from time to time to permit Covered Persons to
transfer Common Stock in particular situations (such as transfers to family
members, partnerships or trusts), but not generally. The Shareholders'
Committee also has the power to waive the Transfer Restriction to permit
Covered Persons to: participate as sellers in underwritten public offerings of,
and stock repurchase programs and tender and exchange offers by GS Inc. for,
Common Stock; transfer Common Stock to charities, including charitable
foundations; and transfer Common Stock held in employee benefit plans. Taking

Covered Shares to date, 7,567,603 shares of Common Stock are subject to the
Transfer Restrictions as of October 1, 2015.

<PAGE>

In the case of a third-party tender or exchange offer, the Transfer
Restrictions may be waived or terminated: if the board of directors is
recommending acceptance or is not making any recommendation with respect to
acceptance of the tender or exchange offer, by a majority of the outstanding
Covered Shares; or if the board of directors is recommending rejection of the
tender or exchange offer, by 66 2/3% of the outstanding Covered Shares.

In the case of a tender or exchange offer by GS Inc., a majority of
the outstanding Covered Shares may also waive or terminate the Transfer
Restrictions.

VOTING

Prior to any vote of the shareholders of GS Inc., the Shareholders'
Agreement requires a separate, preliminary vote of substantially all Voting
Shares on each matter upon which a vote of the shareholders is proposed to be
taken (the "Preliminary Vote"). Each Voting Share will be voted in accordance
with the majority of the votes cast by the Voting Shares in the Preliminary
Vote. In elections of directors, each Voting Share will be voted in favor of
the election of those persons, equal in number to the number of such positions
to be filled, receiving the highest numbers of votes cast by the Voting Shares
in the Preliminary Vote.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS

The Shareholders' Agreement also prohibits Covered Persons from
engaging in certain activities relating to any securities of GS Inc. with any
person who is not a Covered Person or a director, officer or employee of GS
Inc. ("Restricted Persons"). Among other things, a Covered Person may not:
participate in a proxy solicitation to or with a Restricted Person; deposit any
shares of Common Stock in a voting trust or subject any shares of Common Stock
to any voting agreement or arrangement that includes any Restricted Person;
form, join or in any way participate in a "group" with any Restricted Person;
or together with any Restricted Person, propose certain transactions with GS
Inc. or seek the removal of any directors of GS Inc. or any change in the
composition of the board of directors.

TERM, AMENDMENT AND CONTINUATION

The Shareholders' Agreement is to continue in effect until the earlier
of January 1, 2050 and the time it is terminated by the vote of 66 2/3% of the
outstanding Covered Shares. The Shareholders' Agreement may generally be
amended at any time by a majority of the outstanding Covered Shares.

Unless otherwise terminated, in the event of any transaction in which
a third party succeeds to the business of GS Inc. and in which Covered Persons
hold securities of the third party, the Shareholders' Agreement will remain in
full force and effect as to the securities of the third party, and the third
party shall succeed to the rights and obligations of GS Inc. under the
Shareholders' Agreement.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE SHAREHOLDERS' COMMITTEE

The Shareholders' Committee constituted pursuant to the Shareholders'
Agreement (the "Shareholders' Committee") shall at any time consist of each of
those individuals who are both Covered Persons and members of the board of
directors and who agree to serve as members of the Shareholders' Committee. If
there are less than three individuals who are both Covered Persons and members
of the board of directors and who agree to serve as members of the
Shareholders' Committee, the Shareholders' Committee shall consist of each such
individual plus such additional individuals who are Covered Persons and who are
selected pursuant to procedures established by the Shareholders' Committee as

ANNEX D

ITEM 5(A). DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AS TO WHICH THERE IS A RIGHT TO ACQUIRE
EXERCISABLE WITHIN 60 DAYS.

An aggregate of 8,339,369 shares of Common Stock are deliverable to Covered
Persons upon the exercise of stock options that have vested and are
exercisable. This share amount includes the gross number of shares of Common
Stock underlying these options, and these shares are included in the aggregate
number of shares beneficially owned by the Covered Persons under Rule
13d-3(d)(1) because they represent a right to acquire beneficial ownership
within 60 days of October 1, 2015. Upon exercise of stock options, a net amount
of shares will be actually delivered to the Covered Person, with some shares
withheld for tax payments, to fund the option strike price or for other
reasons. The net shares delivered to the Covered Person will continue to be
included in the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the Covered
Persons. The withheld shares will cease to be beneficially owned by any Covered
Person, and will no longer be included in the aggregate number of shares
beneficially owned by Covered Persons.

Prior to delivery, the shares are included in Sixty Day Shares because the
Covered Persons do not have the right to vote the shares. Upon delivery, the
shares become Voting Shares.
