New Issue: GS Finance prices $5 million callable contingent coupon notes on Russell, S&P 500

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., July 8 – GS Finance Corp. priced $5 million of callable contingent coupon notes due July 7, 2017 linked to the worse performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 5.35% if each index closes at or above 65% of its initial level on the determination date for that quarter.

Beginning in January, the notes are callable at par plus the contingent coupon, if any, on any quarterly payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, unless either index finishes below its 65% trigger level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.
