 net proceeds to Lazard, Inc. or Lazard Group LLC, as applicable, the manner of distribution, any underwriting compensation, and the other specific material terms related to the offering of the securities. For more detail on the terms of the securities, you should read the exhibits filed with or incorporated by reference in our registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

On January 1, 2024, we completed our conversion (the “Conversion”) from an exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda named Lazard Ltd to a U.S. C-Corporation named Lazard, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Conversion, each share of Lazard Ltd common stock was converted into one share of Lazard, Inc. common stock.

In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms:

• “Lazard,” “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” and similar terms mean (i) Lazard, Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Conversion and (ii) Lazard Ltd and its subsidiaries prior to the Conversion.

• “Lazard Group” refers to Lazard Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the current holding company for substantially all of the subsidiaries that conduct Lazard’s business (which we refer to in this prospectus as “our business”).

References to “securities” include any security that we might sell under this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

We prepare our financial statements in U.S. dollars and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “U.S. GAAP,” including all of the financial statements incorporated by reference or included in this prospectus. Our fiscal year ends on December 31. In this prospectus, except where otherwise indicated, references to “$” or “dollars” are to the lawful currency of the United States.
