GS Finance eyes callable contingent coupon notes tied to Russell, S&P

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 19 – GS Finance Corp. plans to price callable contingent coupon notes due April 19, 2022 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 be guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

The notes will pay a contingent semiannual coupon at an annual rate of between 6% and 7% if both indexes close at or above 50% of their respective initial levels on the coupon determination date for that period. The exact coupon will be set at pricing.

Beginning on Oct. 19, 2018 and ending on Oct. 19, 2021, the notes are callable in whole but not in part at par plus any contingent coupon on any coupon payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless either index finishes below 50% of its initial level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performing index from its initial level.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.

The notes (Cusip: 40055AVF1) will price on April 20 and settle on April 27.
