Olympia, Wash., Dec. 28 – GS Finance Corp. priced $968,000 of callable contingent coupon notes due Dec. 3, 2023 linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 index, the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 8% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 63% of its initial level, on the observation date for that period.
At Barclays’ option, the notes will be callable in whole at par on any coupon payment date beginning June 2019.
If each index finishes at or above its barrier level, 60% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus any coupon.
Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the least-performing index.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the agent.
