Columbus, Ohio, March 24 – GS Finance Corp. priced $560,000 of autocallable contingent coupon index-linked notes due Dec. 3, 2021 linked to the Nasdaq-100 index, the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 8.5% if each index closes at or above its trigger level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.
The notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly call date.
The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its initial level ad any index ever closes below its 70% trigger level, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
