New Issue: GS Finance prices $12.82 million trigger autocallable contingent yield notes on Russell, MSCI EAFE
By Wendy Van Sickle
Columbus, Ohio, April 18 – GS Finance Corp. priced $12.82 million of trigger autocallable contingent yield notes due April 17, 2020 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the MSCI EAFE index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.15% if each index closes at or above its trigger, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.
Beginning in October, the notes will be automatically called at par of $10 if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.
The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
