<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Post-Effective Amendment No.&nbsp;1 (this &#147;Amendment&#148;) to Registration Statement <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-275510</FONT>
(the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) is being filed pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), by Lazard, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), as the successor to
Lazard Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company. Effective January&nbsp;1, 2024, Lazard Ltd changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to the State of Delaware (the &#147;Domestication&#148;) and changed its legal name to Lazard, Inc. The Company
expressly adopts the Registration Statement, as modified by this Amendment, as its own registration statement for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the purposes of this Amendment and the Registration Statement, references to the &#147;Company,&#148; &#147;Lazard,&#148; the &#147;Registrant,&#148;
&#147;we,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and similar terms mean, as of any time prior to the Domestication, Lazard Ltd and, as of any time after the Domestication, Lazard, Inc. The information contained in this Amendment sets forth additional
information to reflect the Domestication. All documents filed by the Company under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act before the effective date of the Domestication will not reflect the change in our name, jurisdiction of
incorporation or capital structure. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Domestication was effected in the manner described in the section of the Registration Statement entitled
&#147;The Domestication.&#148; In the Domestication, Lazard Ltd discontinued its existence as a Bermuda exempted company as provided under Sections 132G and 132H of The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda and, pursuant to Section&nbsp;388 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. Our consolidated business, operations, assets and liabilities, as well as our principal
locations (other than our registered office in Bermuda) and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. In addition, the directors and executive officers of the Company
immediately after the Domestication were the same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of Lazard Ltd immediately prior to the Domestication. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s common stock continues to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol &#147;LAZ.&#148; Upon effectiveness
of the Domestication, the Company&#146;s CUSIP number relating to its common stock changed to 52110M 109. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Domestication, the
outstanding Class&nbsp;A common shares of Lazard Ltd, par value $0.01 per share, including fractions of common shares, converted by operation of law into an equivalent number of shares (or fractions thereof) of shares of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company. The number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding immediately after the Domestication was the same as the number of common shares of Lazard Ltd outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication.
Consequently, each holder of a common share (or fraction thereof) of Lazard Ltd immediately prior to the Domestication held, immediately thereafter, a share of common stock (or fraction thereof) of the Company representing the same proportional
equity interest in the Company as that shareholder held in Lazard Ltd and representing the same class of shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The rights of holders of the
Company&#146;s common stock are now governed by the Company&#146;s Delaware certificate of incorporation, its Delaware <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> and the DGCL, each of which is described in Lazard Ltd&#146;s final prospectus
relating to the Domestication, which was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on November&nbsp;29, 2023 (the &#147;Final Prospectus&#148;). The Final Prospectus is part of the Registration Statement. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or

opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be
made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court will deem proper. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,

asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section&nbsp;145 of
the DGCL. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director or officer of Lazard, Inc. shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer (including with regard to any actions taken or omitted as a director or officer of Lazard Ltd, whether taken or omitted prior to the effective time of the Domestication, in
connection with the discontinuance of Lazard Ltd in Bermuda or the continuance of Lazard Ltd in the State of Delaware or otherwise) except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as
currently in effect or as the same may be amended. This provision in the<B> </B>certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the directors&#146; or officers&#146; fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as
injunctive or other forms of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-monetary</FONT> relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director or officer will be subject to liability for breach of the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s
duty of loyalty to the Company, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director or officer, and for payment of dividends or
approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director&#146;s or officer&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws. </P>

incorporated in Bermuda that effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2024 discontinued its existence under Bermuda law and continued its existence pursuant to Section&nbsp;388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the

duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Bermuda, and had the full power, authority and legal right to domesticate in the State of Delaware pursuant to Section&nbsp;388 of the DGCL; (ii)&nbsp;that, at all times
relevant for purposes of rendering our opinion as expressed herein, the laws of Bermuda permitted Lazard Ltd to domesticate in the State of Delaware pursuant to Section&nbsp;388 of the DGCL; (iii)&nbsp;that the discontinuance of Lazard Ltd in
Bermuda and the domestication of Lazard Ltd in the State of Delaware pursuant to Section&nbsp;388 of the DGCL was duly authorized and duly effected by Lazard Ltd in accordance with the laws of Bermuda; (iv)&nbsp;that all necessary action was taken
