Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 20 - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. priced $6.7 million of 0% currency-linked notes due Sept. 2, 2014 linked to the performance of the Brazilian real relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The issuer said that by purchasing this note, investors are taking the view that the currency return will be positive, which means that it will take fewer reais to purchase one dollar on the determination date than on the trade date.
If the currency return is positive or zero, the payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of the currency return and 8.95%.
If the currency return is negative but not less than negative 20%, the payout will be par plus 8.95%.
If the currency return is less than negative 20%, investors will be fully exposed to the decline.
Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as placement agent.
