### USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate purposes, which may include additions to working capital, repayment of indebtedness, the financing of possible acquisitions and investments, stock repurchases, or for such other purposes as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, we will not receive any proceeds from any sales of our securities by any selling security holder to be named in a prospectus supplement.

### GUARANTOR DISCLOSURES
Lazard will guarantee the debt securities of Lazard Group, as described in “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer” in this prospectus, and as may be further described in an applicable prospectus supplement. Any such guarantees by Lazard will be full and unconditional guarantees to the holders of each series of such guaranteed debt securities. Lazard Group is consolidated into the financial statements of Lazard.

Lazard and Lazard Group have filed this prospectus with the Commission registering, among other securities, debt securities of Lazard Group, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Lazard. As such debt securities will be guaranteed by Lazard, pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, separate consolidated financial statements of Lazard Group have not been presented. As permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have excluded the summarized financial information for Lazard Group because the combined assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Lazard and Lazard Group are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in Lazard’s consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.
