New Issue: Goldman prices $913,000 5.5% contingent coupon autocalls on two indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 8 – GS Finance Corp. priced $913,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes due Aug. 2, 2019 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 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 5.5% 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 call observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its initial level and ever closes below its 70% trigger level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will be exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The guarantor is Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
