Buffalo, N.Y., Jan. 31 – GS Finance Corp. priced $3.62 million of callable contingent coupon index-linked notes due Oct. 26, 2026 tied to the S&P 500 Futures Volatility Plus Daily Risk Control index, 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 monthly coupon at an annual rate of 12% if the index closes at or above the coupon trigger level, 80% of the initial level, on the valuation date for that period.
After six months, the notes will be callable at the option of the issuer on any monthly valuation date at par plus any coupon otherwise due.
If the notes are not called and the index finishes at or above 80% of initial value, the payout will be par plus the final coupon.
Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond 20%.
