Buffalo, N.Y., Nov. 18 – GS Finance Corp. priced $2 million of callable contingent coupon equity-linked notes due Nov. 15, 2024 linked to the shares of Activision Blizzard, Inc., Electronic Arts Inc. and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Notes and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 19.2% if each stock closes at or above the coupon barrier price, 70% of the initial price, on the valuation date for that period.
The notes are callable at par plus any coupon due on any quarterly call valuation date.
If the notes are not called, and each stock’s final level is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to decline of the worst performer.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
