New Issue: GS prices $9.29 million trigger autocallables linked to index basket

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 2 – GS Finance Corp. priced $9.29 million of 0% trigger autocallable notes due Nov. 27, 2024 linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 40% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 20% weight, the Nikkei 225 index with a 20% weight, the Swiss Market index with a 7.5% weight, the S&P/ASX 200 index with a 7.5% weight and the Hang Seng index with a 5% weight.

Beginning one year after issuance, the notes will be automatically called at par of $10 plus 9.26% per year if the basket closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly valuation date.

If the notes are not called and the final basket level is greater than or equal to the initial basket level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 46.3%.

If the final basket level is less than the initial basket level but greater than or equal to the downside threshold, 70% of the initial basket level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final basket level is below the initial basket level.
