Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 11 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.68 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due May 7, 2021 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 6.9% if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.
After six months, the notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any coupon determination date other than the final one.
The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below its initial level and either index ever closes below its 70% trigger level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the least-performing index declines from its initial level.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is the underwriter.
