New Issue: Goldman sells $275,000 callable CMS spread range accrual notes tied to indexes
By Susanna Moon
Chicago, March 9 – GS Finance Corp. priced $275,000 of callable CMS spread and index-linked range accrual notes due Feb. 28, 2027 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Interest will be 12% for the first year, payable quarterly. After that, it will accrue at 12 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate for each day that each index closes at or above the 75% coupon barrier, up to a maximum rate of 12%. Interest will be payable quarterly and cannot be less than zero.
The payout at maturity will be par unless either index falls by more than 50%, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.
The notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date after one year.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.
