New Issue: Goldman Sachs Group prices upsized $1.75 billion of fixed- and floating-rate notes

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Nov. 15 - Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was in the market Thursday with an upsized $1.75 billion sale of notes (A3/A-/A) in two tranches, a source away from the trade said.

The size was talked in the $1 billion area, with a tranche of two-year floating-rate notes added prior to the launch.

That $500 million of two-year floaters priced at par to yield Libor plus 100 basis points.

A $1.25 billion tranche of 1.6% three-year notes sold at 99.918 to yield 1.628% with a spread of Treasuries plus 130 bps. The notes priced in line with talk in the 130 bps area.

Goldman Sachs & Co. was the bookrunner.

The financial services company is based in New York City.
