By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 1 – GS Finance Corp. plans to price contingent income autocallable securities due March 8, 2018 linked to Amazon.com, Inc. stock, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 8% if the shares close at or above the 80% downside threshold on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par plus the contingent coupon if Amazon.com shares close at or above the initial level on any of the first three coupon determination dates.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon unless the shares finish below the 80% downside threshold, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is the underwriter, with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management as dealer.

The notes will price on March 3.

The Cusip number is 36251V184.
