New Issue: GS Finance prices $25,000 leveraged buffered digital notes on indexes

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Sept. 6 – GS Finance Corp. priced $25,000 of 0% leveraged buffered digital notes due Sept. 9, 2024 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

If each index finishes at or above its initial level, the payout at maturity will be the greater of the threshold settlement amount, $1,250 per $1,000 principal amount, and par plus 1.2 times the return of the lesser performing index.

If either index falls but neither falls by more than 30%, the payout will be par.

Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worse performing index beyond 30%.
