New Issue: Goldman prices $1.51 million range accrual notes linked to Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., July 31 – Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $1.51 million of callable monthly Russell 2000 index-linked range accrual notes due July 31, 2029, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interest rate is the applicable rate multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index’s closing level is greater than or equal to 75% of the initial index level. The applicable rate is 7% per year for the first 60 interest payment dates, 8% per year for the next 60 interest payment dates and 9% per year for the final 60 interest payment dates. Interest is payable monthly.

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’s decline from its initial level.

Beginning Oct. 31, the notes will be callable at par on any interest payment date.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
