<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 the Registration Statements (as defined below) 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. Except as modified by this Amendment, this Post-Effective Amendment No.&nbsp;1 pertains to the
adoption by the Company of the following registration statements on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> (collectively, the &#147;Registration Statements&#148;): (i)&nbsp;Registration
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-154977;&nbsp;(ii)</FONT> Registration <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-193845;</FONT> (iii)&nbsp;Registration <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-217597;</FONT>

registration statement for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). This Post-Effective Amendment No.&nbsp;1 does not reflect any increase in the number of shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;common stock&#148;), issuable pursuant to the plans listed on the cover page hereof above the numbers previously approved and disclosed. </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 Statements, 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 Lazard Ltd&#146;s registration statement on Form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-4</FONT> (the &#147;Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-4&#148;),</FONT> which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) on November&nbsp;13, 2023 (File <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-275510).</FONT> 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 common stock of the Company, par value
$0.01 per share. 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">In connection with the Domestication, Lazard, Inc. has amended
the (i) Lazard Ltd 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan by adopting the First Amendment to the Lazard Ltd 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the &#147;2008 Plan Amendment&#148;) and (ii) Lazard Ltd 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan by adopting the Second
Amendment to the Lazard Ltd 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan (the &#147;2018 Plan Amendment&#148;, and together with the 2008 Plan Amendment, the &#147;Plan Amendments&#148;). The Plan Amendments are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this
Amendment, respectively, and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment. </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 Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-4.</FONT> </P>
