New Issue: Goldman prices $4 million callable buffered monthly range accrual notes on S&P 500

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Sept. 27 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $4 million of callable buffered monthly S&P 500 index-linked range accrual notes due June 28, 2019, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate will be the 5.75% multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above 80% of the initial index level. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par if the final index level is at least 80% of the initial level. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% index decline beyond the 20% buffer level.

The notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date after one year.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
