By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Jan. 3 - Goldman Sachs Bank USA plans to price contingent coupon basket-linked certificates of deposit due Jan. 29, 2021 linked to a basket of common stocks, according to a term sheet.

The equally weighted basket includes AT&T Inc., Chevron Corp., Cisco Systems, Inc., Intel Corp., Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's Corp., Merck & Co., Inc., Pfizer Inc., Proctor & Gamble Co. and Verizon Communications Inc.

The CDs will pay a coupon each year equal to the average of the basket stocks' performances, subject to a minimum of zero.

If a basket stock's return is zero or positive, its performance will be equal to the maximum stock return of 5%. If a basket stock's return is negative, its performance will be zero.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent. Incapital LLC is distributor.

The CDs are expected to price Jan. 28 and settle Jan. 31.

The Cusip number is 38147JRV6.
