New Issue: Goldman sells $2.64 million of 7.7% contingent coupon callables tied to two indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 8 – GS Finance Corp. priced $2.64 million of callable contingent coupon notes due Feb. 24, 2023 linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.7% if each index closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes are callable at par on any quarterly determination date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 60% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The guarantor is Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
