New Issue: Goldman sells $175,000 contingent coupon autocallables tied to S&P 500, Russell

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Oct. 3 – GS Finance Corp. priced $175,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes due Oct. 3, 2019 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 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 5% if each index closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the review date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any interest payment date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 70% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
