New Issue: GS Finance prices $776,000 callable contingent coupon notes linked to S&P, Russell

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 28 – GS Finance Corp. priced $776,000 of callable contingent coupon notes due Sept. 25, 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.

Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 6% if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 62.5% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning in September 2018, the notes are callable at par on any coupon payment date.

If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. If either index finishes below its barrier level, but neither falls by more than 50%, investors will receive par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index declines from its initial level.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
