Preferred stock may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to or separate from the securities.  Pursuant to Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation, and our By-laws, our board of directors by resolution may establish one or more series of preferred stock having such number of shares, 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 preferred stock that may be issued from time to time.  Such rights, preferences, powers, and limitations as may be established could also have the effect of discouraging an attempt to obtain control of the Company.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Board of Directors</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Under Delaware law, directors of a Delaware corporation may, by the certificate of incorporation or by an initial by-law, or by a by-law 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 one-third 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 By-laws 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.</font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">14</font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:72pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Additionally, our By-laws provide that any stockholder entitled to vote thereat generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at an annual meeting (but not a special meeting) only if written notice of such stockholder&#8217;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&#160;days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year&#8217;s annual meeting.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the applicable depositary (&#8220;participants&#8221;) or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable depositary or its nominee with respect to interests of participants and the records of participants with respect to interests of persons other than participants.

Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have any of the individual debt securities of the series represented by that global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any debt securities of such series in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture governing such debt securities.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on individual debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security representing the debt securities. None of Lazard Group, the trustee for the debt securities, any paying agent, or the registrar for the debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made by the depositary or any participants on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security for the debt securities or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">It is expected that the depositary for a series of debt securities issued by Lazard Group or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, or interest in respect of a permanent global security representing the debt securities, will immediately credit participants&#8217; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security for the debt securities as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee.

In addition, Lazard Group may at any time and in its sole discretion, subject to any limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities, determine not to have any debt securities of a series represented by one or more global securities, and, in such event, will issue definitive debt securities of that series in exchange for the global security or securities representing that series of debt securities.
