New Issue: Goldman prices $6.91 million range accrual notes linked to Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 26 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $6.91 million of callable monthly Russell 2000 index-linked range accrual notes due June 27, 2029, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest will accrue at the applicable rate multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the barrier level, 75% of the initial index level. The applicable rate is 7% per year for the first 60 months, 8% per year for the next 60 months and 9% per year for the final 60 months. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par if the final index level is at least 50% of the initial level. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the index’s decline from its initial level.

Beginning Sept. 27, the notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
