By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., June 3 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.07 million of callable buffered monthly range accrual notes due May 31, 2021 linked to 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 interest rate is 5% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the barrier level, 80% of the initial index level. Interest is payable monthly.
