GS Finance plans callable contingent coupon notes on Russell, S&P 500

By Tali Rackner

Norfolk, Va., June 20 – GS Finance Corp. plans to price callable contingent coupon notes due July 2, 2019 linked to the worse performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.75% if each index closes at or above 65% of its initial level on every trading day during that quarter.

Beginning in September, the notes are callable at par plus the contingent coupon, if any, on any quarterly payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if applicable, unless either index finishes below its 65% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.

The notes will price on June 27 and settle on June 30.

The Cusip number is 40054KDS2.
