Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 2 – GS Finance Corp. priced $991,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes due May 4, 2018 linked to the S&P 500 index and 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 notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon of 5% if each index closes at or above its 70% barrier level on the determination date for that quarter.
Beginning in April 2017 and ending in January 2018, the notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly review date.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any, unless either index finishes below its 70% trigger level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worse performing index.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.
