New Issue: GS Finance prices $16.36 million trigger autocallables linked to Euro Stoxx, S&P
By Angela McDaniels
Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 20 – GS Finance Corp. priced $16.36 million of trigger autocallable contingent yield notes due Sept. 21, 2026 linked to the lesser performing of the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will be guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 8.05% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.
After one year, the notes will be automatically called at par of $10 if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.
If the notes are not called and the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than or equal to its downside threshold, 50% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index’s final level is less than its initial level.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
