The debt will mature no later than June 30, 2012, Reuters reports, citing a market source familiar with the sale. The new debt is expected to price at 85 basis points over midswaps, plus or minus 3 basis points, the source said.
The debt is guaranteed under the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, and investors are watching the deal as a test case for demand under the new program, according to Reuters

Goldman is expected to be the first firm to tap the FDIC's new program. The FDIC on Friday approved a program to guarantee to banks' new senior unsecured debt, potentially allowing the firms to issue debt with top "AAA" ratings.
