New Issue: Goldman sells $5.71 million 7.25% contingent income autocalls tied to indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 16 – GS Finance Corp. priced $5.71 million of contingent income autocallable securities due March 3, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7.25% if each index closes at or above its 75% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any review date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its 75% downside threshold, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The guarantor is Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management as the dealer.
