New Issue: Goldman prices $1.61 million contingent coupon autocallables tied to indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 26 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.61 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due Jan. 31, 2022 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 at an annual rate of 6.1% if each index closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier level on the determination date for that quarter.

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 after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any, unless either index finishes below its 60% trigger level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worse performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.
