New Issue: Goldman prices $500,000 9.25% contingent coupon autocalls on two funds

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, June 25 – GS Finance Corp. priced $500,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes due June 22, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF and Invesco QQQ Trust, series 1, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.25% if each underlying fund closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

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

The payout at maturity will be par unless either fund ever closes below its 60% trigger level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing fund.

The guarantor is Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the agent.
