Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 7 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.36 million of 0% autocallable underlier-linked notes due Dec. 8, 2022 based on the performance of the S&P 500 index and the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The notes will be automatically called at par plus an 11.1% annualized call premium if both components close at or above their initial levels on any annual call observation date.
If the notes are not called and both components finish at or above their initial levels, the payout at maturity will be $1,555 per $1,000 principal amount.
If both components finish below their initial levels but the return of each component is at least negative 40%, the payout will be $1,100 per $1,000 note.
If the return of either component is less than negative 40%, the payout will be par plus the return of the lesser performing component, with full exposure to losses.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. is the agent.
