Columbus, Ohio, May 31 – GS Finance Corp. priced $20 million of trigger callable contingent yield notes due May 30, 2028 linked to the least performing of the MSCI Emerging Markets index, 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 if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date that quarter. The contingent coupon rate is 10.05% per year.
After six months, the notes are callable at par of $10 on each quarterly observation date other than the final one.
If the notes are not called and each index finishes at or above its coupon barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon.
The payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon, if any, unless any index finishes below 50% of its initial level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the loss of the least performing index.
The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
UBS Financial Services Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are the agents.
