Buffalo, N.Y., Sept. 27 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.75 million of autocallable contingent coupon ETF-linked notes due Sept. 29, 2026 tied to the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, the iShares Silver Trust and the SPDR Gold Trust, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 11% if each ETF closes at or above the coupon trigger level, 70% of the initial level, on the valuation date for that period.
The notes will be called at par plus a coupon if each ETF closes at or above its initial level on any monthly call observation date after six months.
If the notes are not called and each ETF finishes at or above its coupon trigger, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon.
If the worst performer finishes below its coupon trigger but at or above 70% of initial value, the payout will be par.
Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performer from its initial level.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
