<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 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 Commission 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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">The rights of holders of the Company&#146;s common stock are
now governed by the Company&#146;s Delaware certificate of incorporation (&#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;), its Delaware <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(&#147;By-laws&#148;)</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

other plan of distribution as set forth in a prospectus supplement. See &#147;Plan of Distribution.&#148; Selling security holders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of some or all of their securities in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. We may pay all expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the securities owned by the selling security holders, other than underwriting fees, discounts or commissions, which will be borne
by the selling security holders. We will provide you with a prospectus supplement naming the selling security holders, the amount of securities to be registered and sold and other terms of the securities being sold by a selling security holder. </P>

certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, the number of authorized shares of any class or series of preferred stock may be
increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series, voting together as a single class. As such, the holders of

affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other series of preferred stock, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to Delaware law as then in effect. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue preferred stock. Preferred stock may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to or separate from the

designations, dividend rates, relative voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights, liquidation rights and other relative participation, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be
fixed by the board of directors without any stockholder approval. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of our

of a Delaware corporation may, by the certificate of incorporation or by an initial <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-law,</FONT> or by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-law</FONT> adopted by a vote of the stockholders, be divided into one,
two or three classes (the term of office of those of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting held after such classification becomes effective, the second class one year thereafter, and the third class two years thereafter). At each
annual election held after such classification becomes effective, directors shall be chosen for a full term, as the case may be, to succeed those whose terms expire. Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered
three-year terms. As a result, approximately <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT> of the board of directors will be elected each year. The existence of a classified board of directors may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent
directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling vacancies with its own nominees. Furthermore, our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-laws</FONT> provide that vacancies may only be filled by a majority of the
directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, our

such stockholder&#146;s intent to make such nomination(s) has been received by the Secretary of the Company, generally, not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year&#146;s annual meeting. Under our <FONT

directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>

currency unit in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in United States dollars. The date used to determine the rate of conversion of the foreign currency or currency unit in which a
particular Security is denominated into United States dollars will depend on various factors, including which court renders the judgment. In the case of a Security denominated in a foreign currency, a state court in the State of New York rendering a
judgment on such Security would be required under Section&nbsp;27 of the New York Judiciary Law to render such judgment in the foreign currency in which the Security is denominated, and such judgment would be converted into United States dollars at
the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In rendering the foregoing opinion, we are not passing upon, and
