Buffalo, N.Y., March 25 – GS Finance Corp. priced $2 million of autocallable contingent coupon equity-linked notes due March 23, 2027 linked to the stocks of Albemarle Corp., Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and Tesla, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 12% if each stock closes at or above its coupon barrier price, 50% of its initial price, on a related determination date. Previously unpaid coupons, if any, will be automatically included whenever a coupon is paid.
The notes will be automatically called at par plus coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly observation date after one year.
If the notes are not called and the final share price of each stock is greater than or equal to the 50% final barrier, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon.
Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% that the worst performing stock declines beyond 50%.
