Buffalo, N.Y., Aug. 17 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.06 million of autocallable contingent coupon ETF-linked notes due Aug. 14, 2025 tied to the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 10.85% if each ETF closes at or above the coupon trigger level, 60% of the initial level, on the valuation date for that period. Previously unpaid coupons, if any, will be automatically included whenever a coupon is paid.
The notes will be called at par plus a coupon if each ETF closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly call observation date.
If the notes are not called and each ETF finishes at or above 60% of initial value, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon.
Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the laggard ETF from its initial level.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are the agents.
