By Toni Weeks
San Luis Obispo, Calif., Jan. 22 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $6.28 million of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Jan. 27, 2025 linked to the worst 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 7.1% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on an observation date for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date after one year.
If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its 50% trigger level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any.
Otherwise, investors will be exposed to any losses of the worst-performing index.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
