Goldman Sachs to price leveraged buffered notes tied to fund, indexes

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, Feb. 24 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. plans to price 0% leveraged buffered basket-linked notes tied to a basket of two indexes and one fund, unequally weighted, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are expected to mature four years after issue.

The basket consists of the S&P MidCap 400 index with a 50% weight, the Russell 2000 index with a 25% weight and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index fund with a 25% weight.

If the basket gains, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.5 times the basket return, subject to a maximum payment of $1,600 to $1,705 per $1,000 principal amount. The exact maximum payment will be set at pricing.

Investors will receive par if the basket falls by up to 30% and will lose 1.4286% for every 1% decline in the index beyond 30%.

The Cusip is 38143US28.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
