New Issue: GS Finance sells $2 million capped in-gears notes on S&P, Russell

By Marisa Wong

Los Angeles, Jan. 7 – GS Finance Corp. priced $2 million of 0% capped in-gears due July 6, 2026 tied 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.

If each index finishes at or above 114% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus (i) 21.25% plus (ii) an additional 2.702% for each 1% by which the final level of the lesser performing index exceeds 114% of its initial level, subject to a maximum settlement amount of $18.88 per $10 note.

If any index finishes below 114% of its initial level but each index finishes at or above 89% of its initial level, the payout will be par plus 0.85% for each 1% by which the final level of the lesser performing index exceeds its 89% buffer level.

If any index finishes below its 89% buffer level but each index finishes at or above its 69% downside threshold, investors will lose 1.55% for every 1% decline in the lesser performing index beyond 11%.

If any index finishes below its 69% downside threshold, the payout will be par plus the return of the lesser performing index with full exposure to losses.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent with UBS Financial Services Inc. as selling agent.
