GS Finance plans trigger autocallable contingent notes on Stoxx, S&P

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 8 – GS Finance Corp. plans to price trigger autocallable contingent yield notes due Sept. 21, 2026 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7% to 8% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning Sept. 18, 2017, the notes will be automatically called at par of $10 if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon, if applicable, unless either index finishes below its downside threshold level, 50% of its initial level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.

The notes will price on Sept. 16.

The Cusip number is 36250Y635.
