Lazard Announces Closing of Senior Notes Offering by Lazard Group LLC

Lazard, Inc. (NYSE: LAZ) announced today that its subsidiary Lazard Group LLC (“Lazard Group”) has completed its previously announced offering (the “Offering”) of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued by Lazard Group and were offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Lazard Group.

Lazard Group previously announced its intention to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repurchase all of its outstanding 3.750% Senior Notes due February 13, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (as defined below), and to pay fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer, and to use the remaining amount for general corporate purposes. In that regard, Lazard, Inc. previously announced the commencement of a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) by Lazard Group for any and all of the 2025 Notes. The Tender Offer expires today at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), unless extended or terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the securities described herein. The Tender Offer was made solely by means of the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery dated March 6, 2024. The Tender Offer is void in all jurisdictions where it is prohibited. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer was deemed to have been made on behalf of Lazard Group by the dealer managers for the Tender Offer or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdictions.
