Columbus, Ohio, May 18 – GS Finance Corp. priced $3.25 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due May 24, 2027 linked to the worse performing of the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.1% if each index closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any contingent coupon payment date from May 2018 through February 2027.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless either index finishes below 60% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worse performing index.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
