Columbus, Ohio, April 6 – GS Finance Corp. priced $15.05 million of callable buffered contingent coupon notes due April 9, 2019 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will be guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 9.7% if each index’s closing level is greater than or equal to 90% of its initial level on the observation date for that quarter.
The payout at maturity will be par unless the return of either underlying is less than negative 10%, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing underlying declines beyond 10%.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. is the agent.
