Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 24 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $15.09 million of 0% leveraged buffered basket-linked notes due Sept. 5, 2012 linked to five Asian indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The basket includes the Hang Seng China Enterprises index with a 30% weight, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index 200 with a 27% weight, the MSCI Taiwan index with a 20% weight, the Hang Seng index with a 14% weight and the MSCI Singapore Free index with a 9% weight.
The initial level of each index has been converted into dollars. The issuer will convert the level of each index into dollars on each of the five trading days ending Aug. 31, 2012. The average of these five levels will be the final level for that index.
The payout at maturity will be par plus double any basket gain, subject to a maximum payout of $1,132 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Investors will receive par if the basket declines by 10% or less and will lose 1.1111% for every 1% that it declines beyond 10%.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as dealer.
