By Wendy Van Sickle
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 10 – GS Finance Corp. priced $935,000 of callable contingent coupon notes due April 4, 2022 linked to the Nasdaq-100 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 pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.55% if each index’s closing level is greater than or equal to 80% of its initial level on the observation date for that quarter.
Beginning in October 2018, the notes are callable at par on any coupon payment date.
If each index’s final level is at least 80% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. If either index declines by more than 20%, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the lesser-performing index declines beyond 20%.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
