Distribution to holders of the PPLUS Trust Certificates Series GSC-2 on May 16, 2011.

     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.
