Columbus, Ohio, April 21 – GS Finance Corp. priced $2.96 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due April 6, 2026 linked to the lowest performing of 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.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon if each asset closes at or above its 70% coupon trigger level on the determination date for that period. The coupon will be at an annualized rate of 6.5%.
The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each asset closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date after one year.
The payout at maturity will be par plus any coupon due unless either asset finishes below 60% of its initial level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least performing asset.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
