Minneapolis, April 30 – GS Finance Corp. priced $102,000 of 9% autocallable fixed-coupon notes due July 22, 2019 linked to the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

If each index closes above its initial level on any call observation date, the notes will be automatically called at par plus the coupon.
