New Issue: Goldman prices $3.89 million 7% contingent coupon autocalls tied to fund, index

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 1 – GS Finance Corp. priced $3.89 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due July 31, 2025 linked to the least performing of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 7% if each underlying component closes at or above its 80% coupon barrier on the review date for that month.

The notes will be called at par if each component closes at or above its initial level on any call observation date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either component falls by more than 20%, in which case investors will be exposed to any losses of the worse performing index or fund beyond 20%.

The guarantor is Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
