By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 14 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Oct. 22, 2020 linked to the common stock of CME Group Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a coupon at the rate of 8% per year if CME Group stock closes at or above the trigger price, 71.5% to 76.5% of the initial share price, on the observation date for that month. The exact trigger price will be set at pricing.

Beginning in October 2016, the notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if the shares close at or above the initial price on any monthly observation date.

If the notes are not called and CME Group shares finish at or above the trigger price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will be exposed to the share price decline from the initial price.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.

The notes are expected to price Oct. 16 and settle Oct. 21.

The Cusip number is 38148X449.
