New Issue: Goldman prices $2.72 million range accrual notes linked to Russell, S&P

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 21 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $2.72 million of callable monthly range accrual notes due May 22, 2030 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate equals the applicable rate multiplied by the proportion of days on which each index closes at or above its trigger level, 50% of its initial level. The applicable rate is 7% for the first five years, 8% for the next five years and 9% for the final five years. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par if the return of each index is at least negative 50%. If the return of either index is less than negative 50%, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index.

Beginning May 22, 2016, the notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
