By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 23 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.6 million of callable buffered monthly range accrual notes due Aug. 24, 2026 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

The interest rate is 5.2% per year multiplied by the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the barrier level, 70% of the initial index level. Interest is payable monthly.
