CONSOLIDATED VIEs

The Company’s consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include LGAC (see Note 1) and certain funds (“LFI Consolidated Funds”) that were established for the benefit of employees participating in the Company’s existing LFI deferred compensation arrangement.  Lazard invests in these funds and is the investment manager and is therefore deemed to have both the power to direct the most significant activities of the funds and the right to receive benefits (or the obligation to absorb losses) that could potentially be significant to these funds.  The assets of LFI Consolidated Funds, except as it relates to $138,741 and $140,371 of LFI held by Lazard Group as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, can only be used to settle the obligations of LFI Consolidated Funds. The Company’s consolidated VIE assets and liabilities for LFI Consolidated Funds as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition consist of the following at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
