Norfolk, Va., Dec. 29 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.49 million of callable contingent coupon notes due Dec. 30, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 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 will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.1% if each index closes at or above 60% of its initial level on the determination date for that quarter.
The notes are callable at par on any coupon payment date beginning in December 2017.
If each index finishes at or above its 60% trigger level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon
If either index finishes below its 60% trigger level but above 50%, the payout will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.
