New Issue: Goldman prices $2.5 million buffered range accrual notes linked to Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 30 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $2.5 million of callable buffered monthly Russell 2000 index-linked range accrual notes due March 30, 2022, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate is 6.5% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index’s closing level is greater than or equal to 80% of the initial index level. Interest is payable monthly.

If the index return is greater than or equal to negative 20%, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the index declines beyond 20%.

Beginning Sept. 30, 2015, the notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date.
