Under the basic method permitted by this rule, the minimum required net capital, as defined, is a specified fixed percentage (6 2/3%) of total aggregate indebtedness recorded in LFNY’s Financial and Operational Combined Uniform Single (“FOCUS”) report filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or $5, whichever is greater. In addition, the ratio of aggregate indebtedness (as defined) to net capital may not exceed 15:1. At September 30, 2025, LFNY’s regulatory net capital was $103,208, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $96,881. LFNY’s aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 0.92:1 as of September 30, 2025. Certain U.K. subsidiaries of the Company, including LCL, Lazard Fund Managers Limited and Lazard Asset Management Limited (collectively, the “U.K. Subsidiaries”) are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. At September 30, 2025, the aggregate regulatory net capital of the U.K. Subsidiaries was $113,537, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $38,431.
