New Issue: GS Finance sells $3.37 million autocallable contingent coupon notes on Amazon

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 21 – GS Finance Corp. priced $3.37 million of autocallable contingent coupon equity-linked notes due Dec. 20, 2018 linked to Amazon.com, Inc. common shares, 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 10.25% if Amazon stock closes at or above the barrier level, 75% of the initial price, on the valuation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if Amazon shares close at or above the initial share price on any quarterly valuation date from March 2017 through September 2018.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon unless the stock finishes below the 75% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline.

Goldman Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are the agents.
