By Wendy Van Sickle
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 17 – GS Finance Corp. priced $15.13 million of contingent income callable securities due Aug. 19, 2027 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7% if the index closes at or above its coupon threshold level, 75% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.
The notes are callable, in whole but not in part, at par plus any coupon due on any quarterly coupon payment date from Aug. 20, 2018 until May 20, 2027.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any, unless the index finishes below the 65% downside threshold level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management as dealer.
