Olympia, Wash., Aug. 20 – GS Finance Corp. priced $261,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes due May 24, 2021 linked to the worst performing of the Russell 2000 index, the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.5% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 60% 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 quarterly review date starting on Nov. 17.
If the notes are not called, the payout will be par unless any index closes below its coupon barrier on any day during the life of the notes and any index finishes below its initial level, in which case investors will be exposed to the decline of the least performing index.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
