New Issue: GS Finance prices $10 million contingent coupon autocallables linked to three indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 13 – GS Finance Corp. priced $10 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due Aug. 13, 2029 linked to the Russell 2000 index, the S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each month, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.2504% if each index closes at or above its coupon trigger level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that month and, in the case of the first 12 months, below 105% of its initial level.

Beginning in August 2020, the notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any coupon determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus any coupon due, unless any index finishes below its trigger level, 80% of its initial level, in which case investors will be exposed to the decline of the least-performing index but will still receive a coupon if no index finishes below 75% of initial level.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
