New Issue: GS Finance sells $2 million contingent coupon equity autocalls on three tech stocks

By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Dec. 23 – GS Finance Corp. priced $2.52 million of autocallable contingent coupon equity-linked notes due Dec. 3, 2027 linked to the stocks of Meta Platforms, Inc., Splunk Inc. and Nvidia Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 17.75% if each stock closes above its coupon barrier price, 60% of its initial price, on a related determination date.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any monthly call observation date after three months.

If the notes are not called and the final share price of each stock is greater than or equal to its coupon barrier price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon.

If the worst performer finishes below its coupon barrier but at or above its 55% final barrier, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the share price of the least performing stock from its initial level.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
