New Issue: GS Finance sells $4.72 million buffered digital notes tied to index basket

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., July 9 – GS Finance Corp. priced $4.72 million of 0% buffered digital notes due Aug. 10, 2022 linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

The basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 36% weight, the Topix index with a 27% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 19% weight, the Swiss Market index with a 10% weight and the S&P/ASX 200 index with an 8% weight.

If the final basket level is equal to or greater than the initial level, the payout at maturity will be the greater of the threshold settlement amount, $1,300 per $1,000 of notes, and par plus the return.

If the basket falls by up to 15%, the payout will be par.

Otherwise, investors will lose 1.1765% for every 1% that the basket has declined beyond the buffer level.
