New Issue: Goldman Sachs prices $3.2 million trigger notes linked to S&P 500

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, March 17 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $3,195,000 of 0% index-linked trigger notes due Sept. 21, 2016 tied to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index finishes at or above 77.5% of the initial level on every day during the life of the notes and the final index level is at least 77.5% of the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of zero and the index return.

If the index closes below the 77.5% trigger level on any day during the life of the notes or the final index level is less than 77.5% of the initial level, investors will receive par plus the index return, with full exposure to losses.

The final index level will be the average of the closing index levels on the five trading dates ending Sept. 16, 2016.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the placement agent.
