By Marisa Wong
Madison, Wis., Aug. 3 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $5 million of 0% autocallable buffered index-linked notes due Aug. 15, 2011 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If the index closes at or above the initial index level on any of 12 monthly call observation dates, the notes will be automatically called at par plus an applicable call premium. The call premium will be 1.05% if the notes are called on the first observation date and will increase 1.05% on each subsequent observation date.
The call observation dates are Sept. 7, Oct. 6, Nov. 8, Dec. 6, Jan. 6, Feb. 7, 2011, March 7, 2011, April 6, 2011, May 6, 2011, June 6, 2011, July 6, 2011 and Aug. 8, 2011.
If the notes are not called and the final index level is at least 80% of the initial level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1.25% for every 1% that the index declines beyond 20%.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
