New Issue: GS Finance prices $4.25 million trigger autocallable contingent yield notes on S&P, Stoxx

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 3– GS Finance Corp. priced $4.25 million of trigger autocallable contingent yield notes due March 3, 2020 linked to the S&P 500 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.

Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7% if each index closes at or above its trigger, 71.5% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning in February 2018, the notes will be automatically called at par of $10 if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
