New Issue: GS Finance sells $1.25 million callable CMS spread notes on Nasdaq, Stoxx Banks

By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., April 4 – GS Finance Corp. priced $1.25 million of callable CMS spread and index-linked range accrual notes due May 4, 2036 linked to the Euro Stoxx Banks index and the Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest will be fixed at 9% for the first year. After that, it will accrue at an annual rate equal to the interest factor, which is the product of 9.8 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate minus the two-year Constant Maturity Swap rate on the related observation date, subject to a maximum interest factor of 10% and a minimum interest factor of 0%.

Interest will be paid quarterly after the first year based on the calculated interest rate detailed above multiplied by the number of days each quarter that each index has closed above 70% of its initial level divided by the number of days in the interest accrual period.

The notes are callable at par quarterly after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par if each index finishes above 65% of its initial level.

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. LLC is the agent.
