New York, Dec. 21 – GS Finance Corp. priced $7.96 million of autocallable contingent coupon index-linked notes due Dec. 22, 2027 tied to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 technology sector index, the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 6% if each index closes above its 70% coupon barrier on the related observation date.
The notes will be called at par plus a contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly call observation date after one year.
If all indexes finish above 70% of their initial levels, the payout at maturity will be par.
Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the losses of the worst performer.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
