The Company’s senior debt at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is carried at their principal balances outstanding, net of unamortized debt costs. At those dates, the fair value of such senior debt was approximately $1,626,000 and $1,602,000, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s senior debt is based on market quotations. The Company’s senior debt would be categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy of fair value measurements if carried at fair value. On July 22, 2020, Lazard Group entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a group of lenders for a three-year, $200,000 senior revolving credit facility expiring in July 2023 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement generally will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin for specific interest periods determined based on Lazard Group’s highest credit rating from an internationally recognized credit agency. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions, including customary LIBOR-replacement mechanics. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $209,200 in unused lines of credit available to it, including the credit facility provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the indenture and the supplemental indentures relating to Lazard Group’s senior notes contain certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions, including a customary make-whole provision in the event of early redemption, where applicable. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with such provisions. All of the Company’s senior debt obligations are unsecured.
