Columbus, Ohio, April 3 – GS Finance Corp. priced $32,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes due July 6, 2021 linked to the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annualized rate of 17.4% if each index closes at or above its trigger level, 75% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.
The notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any observation date after six months.
The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its initial level and any index ever closes below its 75% trigger level during the life of the notes,, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
