New Issue: Goldman prices $2.12 million range accrual notes linked to Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 27 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $2.12 million of callable monthly Russell 2000 index-linked range accrual notes due May 29, 2029, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate is equal to the interest factor multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the barrier level, 75% of the initial index level. The interest factor is 7% per year for the first 96 monthly interest payment dates, 10% per year for the next 36 monthly interest payment dates and 13% per year for the final 48 monthly interest payment dates.

The payout at maturity will be par if the final index level is at least 50% of the initial level. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the index decline from the initial level.

Beginning May 29, 2015, the notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
