New Issue: Goldman prices $3.57 million contingent coupon autocallables linked to indexes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 21 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $3.57 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due Sept. 22, 2025 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a coupon at the rate of 9% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon trigger level, 70% of its initial level, on the review date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly determination date.

If the notes have not been called and the return of each index is negative 30% or greater, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon.

If the return of each index is greater than or equal to negative 50% but the return of either index is less than negative 30%, the payout will be par.

If the return of either index is less than negative 50%, investors will share fully in the losses of the lesser-performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
