Columbus, Ohio, April 28 – GS Finance Corp. priced $950,000 of callable contingent coupon equity-linked securities due April 28, 2022 linked to the worst performing of the S&P 500 index, the Dow Jones industrial average and the Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 12.35% if each asset closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the valuation date for that period.
The notes will be callable in whole at par plus any coupon due on any quarterly valuation date.
If each asset finishes at or above its final barrier level, 70% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the coupon, if any. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing asset.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
