New Issue: GS Finance sells $8.93 million trigger phoenix callable optimization notes on indexes

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 1 – GS Finance Corp. priced $8.93 million of trigger phoenix callable optimization securities due March 31, 2026 linked to the S&P 500 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 will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.45% if each index closes at or above its barrier level, 50% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be callable at par of $10 plus the coupon on any interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon unless either index finishes below its barrier level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index.
