Olympia, Wash., Aug. 7 – GS Finance Corp. plans to price 0% capped buffer gears due Aug. 31, 2020 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.

If the index return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus double the index gain, subject to a maximum settlement amount that is expected to be $11.60 to $11.825 for each $10 face amount.

If the index finishes at or below the initial level but at or above the downside threshold, 90% of the initial level, the payout will be par.

Otherwise, investors will be exposed to losses beyond 10%.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent with UBS Financial Services Inc. as selling agent.

The notes will price on Aug. 28 and settle on Aug. 31.

The Cusip number is 36255U539.
