Equity [Abstract] |
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Share Repurchase Program—The Board of Directors of Lazard authorized the repurchase of Lazard, Inc. common stock (“common stock”) as set forth in the table below as of June 30, 2024:
Date | Repurchase Authorization |  | Expiration
February 2022 | $ | 300,000 |  |  | December 31, 2024
July 2022 | $ | 500,000 |  |  | December 31, 2024
The Company’s purchases under the share repurchase program over time are used to offset dilution from the shares that have been or will be issued under Lazard’s 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”). Pursuant to the share repurchase program, purchases have been made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The rate at which the Company purchases shares in connection with the share repurchase program may vary from period to period due to a variety of factors. Purchases with respect to such program are set forth in the table below:
Six Months Ended June 30: | Number of Shares Purchased |  | Average Price Per Share
2023 | 2,697,627 |  | $ | 36.73 |
2024 | 1,055,913 |  | $ | 38.66 |
During the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, certain of our executive officers received common stock in connection with the vesting or settlement of previously-granted deferred equity incentive awards. The vesting or settlement of such equity awards gave rise to a tax payable by the executive officers, and, consistent with our past practice, the Company purchased shares of common stock from certain of our executive officers equal in value to all or a portion of the estimated amount of such tax. The aggregate value of all such purchases during the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $11,200 and $11,100, respectively. Such shares of common stock are reported at cost, and are included in “common stock held by subsidiaries” on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As of June 30, 2024, a total of $159,278 of share repurchase authorization remaining available under Lazard, Inc.’s share repurchase program will expire on December 31, 2024. In addition, on July 24, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200,000 of additional shares of common stock, which authorization will expire on December 31, 2026, bringing the total share repurchase authorization as of July 24, 2024 to approximately $360,000. During the six month period ended June 30, 2024, Lazard, Inc. had in place trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), pursuant to which it effected stock repurchases in the open market.
