and activity with respect thereto during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, is presented below.   Shares Available Under the 2005 Plan and 2008 Plan   The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other equity-based awards. Each stock unit granted under the 2005 Plan represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock, at no cost to the recipient. The fair value of such stock unit awards is determined based on the closing market price of Class A common stock at the date of grant.   In addition to the shares available under the 2005 Plan, additional shares of Class A common stock are available under the 2008 Plan. The maximum number of shares available under the 2008 Plan is based on a formula that limits the aggregate number of shares that may, at any time, be subject to awards that are considered "outstanding" under the 2008 Plan to 30% of the then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock (treating, for this purpose, the then-outstanding exchangeable interests of LAZ-MD Holdings on a "fully-exchanged" basis as described in the 2008 Plan).   Restricted and Deferred Stock Units   RSUs require future service as a condition for the delivery of the underlying shares of Class A common stock (unless the recipient is then eligible for retirement under the Company's retirement policy) and convert into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis after the stipulated vesting periods. The grant date fair value of the RSUs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, is amortized over the vesting periods or requisite service periods, and, for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share, are included in the diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding using the treasury stock method. Expense relating to RSUs was as follows within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations: <div class="MetaData"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0"

Such amendment served to modify the retirement eligibility vesting requirements of existing and future RSU awards, and, as noted above, Lazard accelerated the recognition of compensation expense for the affected RSU awards. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to "compensation and benefits" expense of $24,860 in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 relating to prior years' awards.   Non-Executive members of the Board of Directors receive approximately 55% of their annual compensation for service on the Board of Directors and its committees in the form of DSUs, which resulted in 26,859 and 31,588 DSUs granted during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Their remaining compensation is payable in cash, which they may elect to receive in the form of additional DSUs under the Directors' Fee Deferral Unit Plan described below. DSUs are convertible into Class A common stock at the time of cessation of service to the Board. The DSUs include a cash dividend participation right equivalent to any ordinary quarterly dividends paid on Class A common stock, and resulted in nominal cash payments for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.   On May 9, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the Directors' Fee Deferral Unit Plan, which allows the Company's Non-Executive Directors to elect to receive additional DSUs pursuant to the 2005 Plan in lieu of some or all of their cash fees. The number of DSUs that shall be granted to a Non-Executive Director pursuant to this election will equal the value of cash fees that the applicable Non-Executive Director has elected to forego pursuant to such election, divided by the market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date on which the foregone cash fees would otherwise have been paid. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 5,371 and 5,912 DSUs, respectively, had been granted pursuant to such Plan.   DSU awards are expensed at their fair value on their date of grant, which, inclusive of amounts related to the Directors' Fee Deferral Unit Plan, totaled $70 and $1,194 during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $58 and $1,173 during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively.   The following is a summary of activity relating to RSUs and DSUs during the nine month periods

The ultimate amount of such expense is dependent upon the actual number of RSUs that vest. The Company periodically assesses the forfeiture rates used for such estimates.

Company satisfied certain employees' tax obligations in lieu of delivering 68,866 shares of Class A common stock in connection with shares of restricted Class A common stock that vested during the period set forth in the table above. Accordingly, 258,372 shares of Class A common stock held by Lazard Group were delivered during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.   Expense relating to restricted stock awards is charged to "compensation and benefits" expense within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations, and amounted to $374 and $9,373 for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $483 and $643 for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The awards include a cash dividend participation right equivalent to any ordinary quarterly dividends paid on Class A common stock during the period, which will vest concurrently with the underlying restricted stock award. At September 30, 2011, unrecognized restricted stock expense was approximately $1,300, with such expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.0 years subsequent to September 30, 2011.   For purposes of calculating diluted net income per share, such awards are included in the diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding using the "treasury stock" method.   <div> Other Incentive Awards   As previously described, in February 2011, the Company granted to eligible employees Lazard Fund Interests. In connection with the Lazard Fund Interests and other similar arrangements, the Company recorded a prepaid compensation asset and a corresponding compensation liability at the grant date fair value. The prepaid asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting periods or requisite service periods. Lazard Fund Interests that do not require future service are expensed immediately.   The Lazard Fund Interests granted generally provide for one-third vesting on March 1, 2013 and two-thirds vesting on March 3, 2014. The amortization of the prepaid asset is charged to "compensation and benefits" expense within the Company's consolidated statement of operations, and amounted to $2,480 and $7,534 for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, unrecognized compensation expense for Lazard Fund Interests and other similar arrangements, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $21,000. Such compensation expense will generally be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years subsequent to September 30, 2011. The related compensation liability is accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability, and is adjusted for changes in the fair value of the underlying investments, with such changes in value directly offset by a corresponding amount recorded to "compensation and benefits" expense within the Company's consolidated statements of operations (see Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). </div></div> 51437000 -38000 7758000 -3000 -35000 -7793000 -57000 9140000 -3000 -54000 -9194000 244754 251146 21000000 309000000 1300000 2.0 1.5 1.0 50319000 12500000 84635000

$4,861, respectively, held in order to satisfy the Company's liability upon vesting of previously granted Lazard Fund Interest awards ("Lazard Fund Interests") and other similar arrangements. Lazard Fund Interests represent grants by the Company to eligible employees of actual or notional interests in several Lazard-managed funds (see Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). </td></tr></table></div>   The Company's debt securities included in the table above are categorized as trading securities. Fixed income funds primarily consist of amounts seeding products of our Asset Management segment. Corporate and other debt primarily consist of United Kingdom (the "U.K.") government and U.S. state and municipal debt securities.   Equities principally represent the Company's investments in marketable equity securities of large-, mid- and small-cap domestic, international and global companies to seed new Asset Management products and includes investments in public and private asset management funds managed both by LAM and third-party asset managers.   Interests in alternative asset management funds represent (i) GP interests owned by Lazard in various Lazard-managed alternative asset management funds and (ii) GP interests consolidated by the Company pertaining to noncontrolling interests in such alternative asset management funds, the latter of which aggregated $7,037 and $8,219 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Such noncontrolling interests, which represent GP interests held directly by certain of our asset management managing directors or employees of the Company, are deemed to be controlled by, and therefore consolidated by, the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Noncontrolling interests are presented within "stockholders' equity" on the consolidated statements of financial condition (see Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).   Private equity investments include those owned by Lazard and those consolidated but not owned by Lazard. Private equity investments owned by Lazard are primarily comprised of investments in private equity funds and direct private equity interests. Such investments primarily include (i) a mezzanine fund, which invests in mezzanine debt of a diversified selection of small- to mid-cap European companies and (ii) Corporate Partners II Limited ("CP II"), a private equity fund targeting significant noncontrolling-stake investments in established public and private companies. Private equity investments also include investments consolidated but not owned by Lazard which relate solely to Lazard's establishment of a private equity business with the Edgewater Funds ("Edgewater"), a Chicago-based private equity firm, through the acquisition of Edgewater's management vehicles on July 15, 2009, and aggregated $37,610 and $67,206 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The economic interests that the Company does not own are owned by the leadership team and other investors in the Edgewater management vehicles (see Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).   On January 24, 2008, Sapphire Industrials Corp. ("Sapphire"), a then newly-organized special purpose acquisition company formed by the Company, completed an initial public offering (the "Sapphire IPO"). Sapphire had been included in equity method investments prior to its dissolution discussed below. Sapphire was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination within a 24-month period (the "Business Combination") and net proceeds from the Sapphire IPO were placed in a trust account by Sapphire (the "Trust Account") pending consummation of the Business Combination. In connection with the Sapphire IPO, the Company purchased warrants from Sapphire for a total purchase price of $12,500 and Sapphire common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The Company's investment in Sapphire had been accounted for using the equity method of accounting. On January 6, 2010, Sapphire announced it had not completed the Business Combination and it would dissolve and distribute the funds in the Trust Account to all of its public shareholders, to the extent they were holders of shares issued in the Sapphire IPO. Pursuant to such dissolution, on January 26, 2010, Sapphire made an initial distribution to the Company aggregating $50,319. All Sapphire warrants expired without value.   During the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized gross investment gains and losses in "revenue-other" on its condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows: <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center">

With respect to adjustments for items reclassified to earnings, the average cost basis was utilized for purposes of calculating realized investment gains and losses. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges recognized during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.   During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company sold its remaining "available-for-sale" debt securities.

LAM (the "LAM Merger"). Prior to the LAM Merger, the common equity interests of LAM were held by LFNY, and certain other equity interests of LAM, representing contingent payments should certain specified fundamental transactions occur, were held by present and former employees of LAM. Following the LAM Merger, all equity interests of LAM are owned directly or indirectly by LFNY.   The aggregate non-contingent consideration relating to the equity interests of LAM held by present and former employees of LAM and its subsidiaries (the "Transaction Consideration") consists of (i) cash payments made from the closing of the LAM Merger through January 2, 2009 of approximately $60,100, (ii) a cash payment on October 31, 2011 of approximately $90,300 and (iii) an issuance on October 31, 2011 of 2,201,457 shares of Class A common stock (plus additional shares of Class A common stock in an amount determined by reference to the cash dividends paid on Class A common stock since the closing of the LAM Merger), subject, in the case of clause (ii) and (iii) and, with respect to certain present employees of LAM and its subsidiaries, to delayed payment/issuance until the eighth anniversary of the closing of the LAM Merger if the applicable employee is no longer employed by Lazard or its affiliates on October 31, 2011, subject to certain exceptions. The related liabilities for the present value of the unpaid cash consideration have been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition in "accrued compensation and benefits" and "other liabilities", and amounted to $15,649 and $74,930, respectively, as of September 30, 2011, and $15,152 and $71,394, respectively, as of December 31, 2010. 4186000 2064000 3000 2119000 2067000 44803000 41688000 3115000 41688000 2631570 0 0 0 0.85 53552000 18904000 60566000 20417000 250000000 -48013000 -60085000 -46158000 -57712000 95544000 29693000 33951000 31900000 58988000 21874000 36097000 1017000 322000000 65000000 100000000 2861665 2756633 3559705 3244474 98579076 108302438 114026323 115071470 1602999 68866 2302798

8.    BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS   On July 15, 2009, the Company established a private equity business with Edgewater. Edgewater manages funds primarily focused on buy-out and growth equity investments in middle market companies. The acquisition was structured as a purchase by Lazard Group of interests in a holding company that in turn owns interests in the general partner and management company entities of the current Edgewater private equity funds (the "Edgewater Acquisition"). Following the Edgewater Acquisition, Edgewater's current leadership team retained a substantial economic interest in such entities.   The aggregate fair value of the consideration recognized by the Company at the acquisition date was $61,624. Such consideration consisted of (i) a one-time cash payment, (ii) 1,142,857 shares of Class A common stock (the "Initial Shares") and (iii) up to 1,142,857 additional shares of Class A common stock subject to earnout criteria and payable over time (the "Earnout Shares"). The Initial Shares are subject to forfeiture provisions that lapse only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds and transfer restrictions during the four year period ending December 2014. The Earnout Shares will be issued only if certain performance thresholds are met.   In prior years, the Company made certain other business acquisitions. These purchases were affected through an exchange of a combination of cash, Class A common stock, and by Lazard Ltd issuing shares of non-participating convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock, which are or were each convertible into Class A common stock. In connection with such acquisitions, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 47,474 and 1,295,029 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, were issuable on a non-contingent basis. Additionally, at December 31, 2010, 4,862 shares of Series A preferred stock were convertible into Class A common shares on a non-contingent basis, with the number of Class A common shares dependent on certain variables (see Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, an additional 9,238 shares became convertible, with the total of 14,100 shares of Series A preferred stock converting into 2,434,561 shares of Class A common stock during the period. Depending upon the future performance of such businesses acquired, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 7,921 and 17,159 shares of Series A preferred stock were contingently convertible into shares of Class A common stock.

At September 30, 2011, minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases, net of sublease income, are approximately as follows: <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="80%" align="center"> <tr><td width="85%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> Year Ending December 31,</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" colspan="2"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> 2011 (October 1 through December 31)</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">18,170</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> 2012</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">57,491</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> 2013</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">65,469</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> 2014</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">67,957</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> 2015</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">63,818</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Thereafter</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">807,230</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Total minimum lease payments</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,080,135</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td height="8"> </td> <td height="8" colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Sublease proceeds</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">180,647</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Net lease payments</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">899,488</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">    </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table>   Guarantees— In the normal course of business, LFB provides indemnifications to third parties to protect them in the event of non-performance by its clients. At September 30, 2011, LFB had $4,143 of such indemnifications and held $2,828 of collateral/counter-guarantees to secure these commitments. The Company believes the likelihood of loss with respect to these indemnities is remote. Accordingly, no liability is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial condition.   Investment Capital Funding Commitments—At September 30, 2011, the maximum principal unfunded commitments by the Company for capital contributions to investment funds related to (i) CP II, amounting to $2,692 for potential "follow-on investments" and/or for CP II expenses through the earlier of February 25, 2017 or the liquidation of the fund, (ii) Edgewater Growth Capital Partners III, L.P. ("EGCP III"), an Edgewater private equity fund, amounting to $41,753, through the earlier of October 12, 2016 (i.e., the end of the investment period) for investments and/or expenses (with a portion of the undrawn amount of such commitment as of that date remaining committed until October 12, 2023 in respect of "follow-on investments" and/or EGCP III expenses) or the liquidation of the fund and (iii) a $25,000 investment commitment to develop certain real estate investment funds until the earliest of (a) the date on which third-party assets under management in such funds reach $250,000, (b) December 31, 2013 or (c) the date on which the principal manager of such funds is no longer employed by Lazard.   Other Commitments—In the normal course of business, LFB enters into commitments to extend credit, predominately at variable interest rates. Such commitments at September 30, 2011 aggregated $16,718. These commitments have varying expiration dates and are fully collateralized and generally contain requirements for the counterparty to maintain a minimum collateral level. These commitments may not represent future cash requirements as they may expire without being drawn upon.   See Notes 7, 8 and 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding commitments relating to the LAM Merger, business acquisitions and obligations to fund our pension plans, respectively.   The Company has various other contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, from time to time, LFB enters into underwriting commitments in which it participates as a joint underwriter. The settlement of such transactions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.   In the opinion of management, the fulfillment of the commitments described herein will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.   Legal—The Company is involved from time to time in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings and inquiries concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses, including proceedings initiated by former employees alleging wrongful termination. The Company reviews such matters on a case-by-case basis and establishes any required accrual if a loss is probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does experience significant variation in its revenue and earnings on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, the results of any pending matter or matters could be significant when compared to the Company's earnings in any particular fiscal quarter. The Company believes, however, based on currently available information, that the results of any pending matters, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on its business or financial condition.

facility with a group of lenders (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility, as amended, replaced the prior revolving credit facility, which was terminated as a condition to effectiveness of the Credit Facility. Interest rates under the Credit Facility vary and are based on either a Federal Funds rate or a Eurodollar rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2011, the annual interest rate for a loan accruing interest (based on the Federal Funds overnight rate), including the applicable margin, was 1.90%. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.   The Credit Facility contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants. In addition, the Credit Facility, the indenture and supplemental indentures relating to Lazard Group's senior notes, contain certain covenants (none of which relate to financial condition), events of default and other customary provisions, including a customary make-whole provision in the event of early redemption where applicable. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of these provisions. All of the Company's senior debt obligations are unsecured.   As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $322,000 in unused lines of credit available to it, including the Credit Facility, and unused lines of credit available to LFB of approximately $100,000 (at September 30, 2011 exchange rates) and Edgewater of $65,000. In addition, LFB has access to the Eurosystem Covered Bond Purchase Program of the Banque de France. <div> Subordinated Debt— Subordinated debt at December 31, 2010 represented a promissory note amounting to $150,000. The note had a maturity date of September 30, 2016 and had a fixed interest rate of 3.25% per annum. Until June 30, 2011, the note had a conversion feature which permitted the holder to convert the note into a maximum of 2,631,570 shares of Class A common stock at an effective conversion price of $57 per share. No conversions had occurred through that date and the note was no longer convertible. On July 22, 2011, the Company repurchased its outstanding subordinated promissory note, at a cost, excluding accrued interest, of $131,829. Such repurchase resulted in a pre-tax gain of $18,171, which was recognized by the Company in the third quarter of 2011 and included in "revenue-other" on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's debt at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are recorded at historical amounts. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the Company's senior and subordinated debt outstanding was approximately $1,174,000 and $1,271,000, respectively, and exceeded the aggregate carrying value by approximately $97,000 and $44,000, respectively. The fair value of the Company's debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements or based on market quotations, where available.  </div></div></div>

6.     DERIVATIVES   The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange rate contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate futures, equity and fixed income swaps and other derivative contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, currency exchange rates and equity and debt markets. The Company reports its derivative instruments separately as assets and liabilities unless a legal right of set-off exists under a master netting agreement enforceable by law. The Company's derivative instruments are recorded at their fair value, and are included in "other assets" and "other liabilities" on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Except for derivatives hedging "available-for-sale" debt securities, which were sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 (see Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company elected to not apply hedge accounting to its other derivative instruments held. Gains and losses on the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, as well as gains and losses on derivatives then accounted for as fair value hedges, are included in "interest income" and "interest expense", respectively, or "revenue-other", depending on the nature of the underlying item, on the consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, with respect to derivatives then designated as fair value hedges, the hedged item was required to be adjusted for changes in fair value of the risk being hedged, with such adjustment accounted for in the consolidated statements of operations.   In addition to the derivative instruments above, the Company has recognized a derivative liability relating to its obligation pertaining to Lazard Fund Interests and other similar arrangements, the fair value of which is based on the value of the underlying investments and is included in "accrued compensation and benefits" on the consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2011. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are included in "compensation and benefits" expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the impact of which directly offsets the changes in the fair value of the underlying investments owned and is reported in "revenue-other" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.   As a result of the sale of the Company's "available-for-sale" debt securities during the fourth quarter of 2010 as discussed above, there were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. During the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized pre-tax losses pertaining to interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of $332 and $4,088, respectively. These losses were substantially offset by gains recognized on the hedged risk portion of such "available-for-sale" securities.   The table below represents the fair values of the Company's derivative instruments reported within "other assets" and "other liabilities" and the Company's derivative liability relating to its obligation pertaining to Lazard Fund Interests and other similar arrangements reported within "accrued compensation and benefits" on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010: <div> </div> <div>

17.    NET INCOME PER SHARE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK   The Company's basic and diluted net income per share calculations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are computed as described below.   Basic Net Income Per Share   Numerator—utilizes net income attributable to Lazard Ltd for the respective periods, plus applicable adjustments to such net income associated with the inclusion of shares of Class A common stock issuable on a non-contingent basis.   Denominator—utilizes the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the respective periods, plus applicable adjustments to such shares associated with shares of Class A common stock issuable on a non-contingent basis.   Diluted Net Income Per Share   Numerator—utilizes net income attributable to Lazard Ltd for the respective periods as in the basic net income per share calculation described above, plus, to the extent applicable and dilutive, (i) interest expense on convertible debt, (ii) changes in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests resulting from assumed Class A common stock issuances in connection with share-based incentive compensation, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock and, on an "as-if-exchanged" basis, amounts applicable to LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests and (iii) income tax related to (i) and (ii) above.   Denominator—utilizes the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the respective periods as in the basic net income per share calculation described above, plus, to the extent applicable and dilutive, the incremental number of shares of Class A common stock to settle share-based incentive compensation, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests, using the "treasury stock" method, the "if converted" method or the "as-if-exchanged" basis, as applicable.   The calculations of the Company's basic and diluted net income per share and weighted average shares outstanding for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are presented below: <table style="border-collapse:

These inputs reflect management's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Items included in Level 3 include securities or other financial assets whose volume and level of activity have significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity and there is no longer sufficient frequency or volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, as well as assets valued based on NAV not redeemable within the near term.</td></tr></table></div>   The Company's investments in U.S. Government and agency debt securities as well as its corporate and other debt securities are considered Level 1 assets with the respective fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. The Company's investments in fixed income funds are considered Level 1 assets when their fair values are based on the reported closing price for the fund or Level 2 assets when their fair values are primarily based on broker quotes as provided by external pricing services.   The fair value of equities is principally classified as Level 1 or Level 2 as follows: marketable equity securities are classified as Level 1 and are valued based on the last trade price on the primary exchange for that security; public asset management funds are classified as Level 1 and are valued based on the reported closing price for the fund; and investments in private asset management funds are classified as Level 2 and are primarily valued based on information provided by fund managers and, secondarily, from external pricing services to the extent managed by LAM.   The fair value of interests in alternative asset management funds is classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the time frame of any applicable redemption restrictions, and is based on information provided by external pricing services.   The fair value of private equity investments is classified as Level 3, and is based on the financial statements of the underlying fund provided by fund managers, appraisals and internal valuations.   Where information reported is based on broker quotes, the Company generally obtains one quote/price per instrument. In some cases, quotes related to corporate bonds obtained through external pricing services represent the average of several broker quotes. Where information reported is based on data received from fund managers or from external pricing services, the Company reviews such information to ascertain at which level within the fair value hierarchy to classify the investment.   The following tables present the categorization of investments and certain other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 into the three-level fair value hierarchy in accordance with fair value measurement disclosure requirements: <div class="MetaData"> <div> <table

16.    INCOME TAXES   As a result of its indirect investments in Lazard Group, Lazard Ltd is subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its portion of Lazard Group's operating income. Although a portion of Lazard Group's income is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, Lazard Group primarily operates in the U.S. as a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, Lazard Group's income from its U.S. operations is generally not subject to U.S. federal income taxes because such income is attributable to the partners. In addition, Lazard Group is subject to New York City Unincorporated Business Tax ("UBT"), which is attributable to Lazard Group's operations apportioned to New York City. UBT is incremental to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. Outside the U.S., Lazard Group operates principally through subsidiary corporations that are subject to local income taxes.   The Company recorded income tax provisions of $20,605 and $51,704 for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $9,113 and $29,049 for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 23.5%, 20.6%, 11.5% and 25.9%, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% and the effective tax rates described above principally relates to (i) Lazard Group primarily operating as a limited liability company in the U.S., (ii) foreign source income (loss) not subject to U.S. income taxes, (iii) Lazard Group's income from U.S. operations attributable to noncontrolling interests, (iv) changes in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets affecting the provision for income taxes and (v) U.S. state and local taxes (primarily UBT), which are incremental to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.   Substantially all of Lazard's foreign operations are conducted in "pass-through" entities for U.S. income tax purposes and the Company provides for U.S. income taxes on a current basis for substantially all of those earnings. The repatriation of prior earnings attributable to "non-pass-through" entities would not result in the recognition of a material amount of additional U.S. income taxes.   Tax Receivable Agreement   The redemption of historical partner interests in connection with the Company's separation and recapitalization that occurred in May 2005 and subsequent exchanges of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests for shares of Class A common stock have resulted, and future exchanges of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests for shares of Class A common stock may result, in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and/or intangible assets of Lazard Group. The tax receivable agreement dated as of May 10, 2005 with LFCM Holdings requires the Company to pay LFCM Holdings 85% of the cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of the above-mentioned increases in tax basis. The Company calculates this provision annually and includes such amounts in operating expenses on its consolidated statements of operations once the results of operations for the full year are known. As a result, there is no provision for such payments in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. If any provision is required pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, such amount would be fully offset by a reduction in the Company's income tax expense.

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION   Organization   Lazard Ltd, a Bermuda holding company, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Lazard Ltd", "Lazard", "we" or the "Company"), including Lazard Ltd's indirect investment in Lazard Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively referred to, together with its subsidiaries, as "Lazard Group"), is one of the world's preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms and has long specialized in crafting solutions to the complex financial and strategic challenges of our clients. We serve a diverse set of clients around the world, including corporations, partnerships, institutions, governments and high net worth individuals.   Lazard Ltd indirectly held approximately 94.7% and 94.0% of all outstanding Lazard Group common membership interests as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Lazard Ltd, through its control of the managing members of Lazard Group, controls Lazard Group. LAZ-MD Holdings LLC ("LAZ-MD Holdings"), an entity owned by Lazard Group's current and former managing directors, held approximately 5.3% and 6.0% of the outstanding Lazard Group common membership interests as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Additionally, LAZ-MD Holdings was the sole owner of the one issued and outstanding share of Lazard Ltd's Class B common stock (the "Class B common stock") which provided LAZ-MD Holdings with approximately 5.3% and 6.0% of the voting power but no economic rights in the Company as of such respective dates. Subject to certain limitations, LAZ-MD Holdings' interests in Lazard Group are exchangeable for Lazard Ltd Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A common stock"). Lazard Group is governed by an Operating Agreement dated as of May 10, 2005, as amended (the "Operating Agreement").   The Company's sole operating asset is its indirect ownership of common membership interests of Lazard Group and its managing member interest of Lazard Group, whose principal operating activities are included in two business segments:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"></td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Financial Advisory, which includes providing general strategic and transaction-specific advice on mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") and other strategic matters, restructurings, capital structure, capital raising and various other corporate finance matters, and  </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"></td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Asset Management, which includes strategies for the management of equity and fixed income securities and alternative investment and private equity funds, as well as wealth management. </td></tr></table>   In addition, the Company records selected other activities in its Corporate segment, including management of cash, certain investments and the commercial banking activities of Lazard Group's Paris-based Lazard Frères Banque SA ("LFB"). The Company also allocates outstanding indebtedness to its Corporate segment.   LFB is a registered bank regulated by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel. It is engaged primarily in commercial and private banking services for clients and funds managed by Lazard Frères Gestion SAS ("LFG") and other clients, investment banking activities, including participation in underwritten offerings of securities in France, asset-liability management and limited trading in securities and foreign exchange. LFB also provides support services for certain European subsidiaries of Lazard Group.   Basis of Presentation   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Lazard Ltd have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Lazard Ltd's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "Form 10-K"). The accompanying December 31, 2010 unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statement purposes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the financial statements and the accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions that Lazard may undertake in the future, actual results may differ materially from the estimates. The consolidated results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future interim or annual period.   The condensed consolidated financial statements include Lazard Ltd, Lazard Group and Lazard Group's principal operating subsidiaries: Lazard Frères & Co. LLC ("LFNY"), a New York limited liability company, along with its subsidiaries, including Lazard Asset Management LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "LAM"); its French limited liability companies Compagnie Financière Lazard Frères SAS ("CFLF") along with its subsidiaries, LFB and LFG, and Maison Lazard SAS and its subsidiaries; and Lazard & Co., Limited ("LCL"), through Lazard & Co., Holdings Limited, an English private limited company ("LCH"), together with their jointly owned affiliates and subsidiaries.   The Company's policy is to consolidate (i) entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, (ii) variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company has a variable interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (iii) limited partnerships where the Company is the general partner, unless the presumption of control is overcome. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts significant influence over the entity's operating and financial decisions, the Company applies the equity method of accounting in which it records in earnings its share of earnings or losses of the entity. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.   Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period.

14.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS   The Company provides retirement and other post-retirement benefits to certain of its employees through defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans. These plans generally provide benefits to participants based on average levels of compensation. Expenses related to the Company's employee benefit plans are included in "compensation and benefits" expense on the consolidated statements of operations.   Employer Contributions to Pension Plans— In accordance with agreements reached with the Trustees of certain U.K. pension plans in 2005, the Company was obligated to make further contributions to such pension plans based upon the cumulative performance of the plans' assets against specific benchmarks as measured on June 1, 2009 and subsequently remeasured on June 1, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the obligation related to the cumulative underperformance of the plans' assets (the "underperformance obligation") was payable in equal monthly installments through May 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company contributed approximately $8,600 to settle the plans' underperformance obligation in full.   In addition, on June 30, 2009 the Company and Trustees concluded the December 31, 2007 triennial valuation of the U.K. pension plans discussed above, pursuant to which: (i) the Company agreed to contribute, in addition to amounts to cover administrative expenses under the plans, 2.3 million British pounds ($3,584 at September 30, 2011 exchange rates), during each year from 2011 to 2018 inclusive, subject to adjustment resulting from the December 31, 2010 triennial valuation, which the Company expects to have concluded prior to the contribution payment scheduled for 2011, and (ii) to secure the Company's obligations thereunder, on July 15, 2009 the Company placed in escrow 12.5 million British pounds, with a final redemption date of December 31, 2018. This amount is subject to adjustment based on the results of the December 31, 2010 triennial valuation and subsequent triennial valuations. The aggregate escrow balance has been recorded in "cash deposited with clearing organizations and other segregated cash" and "investments", respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Income on the escrow balance accretes to the Company and is recorded in interest income.   During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, no contribution to these U.K. pension plans was required, and no contributions were required to be made to other pension plans.   The following tables summarize the components of total benefit cost (credit) for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010: <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="68%"> </td> <td

19.    REGULATORY AUTHORITIES <div>   LFNY is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the basic method permitted by this rule, the minimum required net capital, as defined, is a specified fixed percentage 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 $100, whichever is greater. At September 30, 2011, LFNY's regulatory net capital was $167,157, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $161,116.   Certain U.K. subsidiaries of the Company, including LCL, Lazard Fund Managers Limited and Lazard Asset Management Limited (the "U.K. Subsidiaries"), are regulated by the Financial Services Authority. At September 30, 2011, the aggregate regulatory net capital of the U.K. Subsidiaries was $152,947, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $108,653.   CFLF, through which non-corporate finance advisory activities are carried out in France, is subject to regulation by the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel for its banking activities conducted through its subsidiary, LFB. In addition, the investment services activities of the Paris group, exercised through LFB and other subsidiaries of CFLF, primarily LFG (asset management), are subject to regulation and supervision by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers. At September 30, 2011, the consolidated regulatory net capital of CFLF was $183,444, which exceeded the minimum requirement set for regulatory capital levels by $84,635.   Certain other U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various capital adequacy requirements promulgated by various regulatory and exchange authorities in the countries in which they operate. At September 30, 2011, for those subsidiaries with regulatory capital requirements, their aggregate net capital was $82,336, which exceeded the minimum required capital by $60,121.   At September 30, 2011, each of these subsidiaries individually was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.   Lazard Ltd has been subject to supervision by the SEC as a Supervised Investment Bank Holding Company ("SIBHC"). As a SIBHC, Lazard Ltd was subject to group-wide supervision, which required it to compute allowable capital and risk allowances on a consolidated basis. However, pursuant to Section 617 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), the SEC's SIBHC program was eliminated on July 21, 2011. Pursuant to relevant rules in Europe, Lazard Ltd is required to be supervised by another regulatory body, either in the U.S. or Europe. The Dodd-Frank Act allows certain securities holding companies seeking consolidated supervision, including Lazard Ltd, to elect to be supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. Lazard Ltd anticipates that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve will adopt regulations pursuant to Section 618 of the Dodd-Frank Act in the near future for companies that seek to come under their consolidated supervision. Once we understand the final scope of such regulations, Lazard Ltd will determine whether it will elect to comply with such regulations and register to come under the consolidated supervision of the Federal Reserve. Until such regulations are adopted, however, we cannot determine the full impact of such regulations on us. The Dodd-Frank Act and the rules and regulations that may be adopted thereunder (including regulations that have not yet been proposed) could have other effects on us. We continue to monitor the process as such rules are proposed and adopted. </div>

In addition to the master separation agreement, which effected the separation and recapitalization that occurred in May 2005, LFCM Holdings entered into certain agreements that addressed various business matters associated with the separation, including agreements related to administrative and support services (the "administrative services agreement"), employee benefits, insurance matters and licensing. In addition, LFCM Holdings and Lazard Group entered into a business alliance agreement. Certain of these agreements are described in more detail in the Company's Form 10-K.   For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, amounts recorded by Lazard Group relating to the administrative services agreement amounted to $596 and $1,788, respectively, and net referral fees for underwriting, private placement, M&A and restructuring transactions under the business alliance agreement amounted to $5,927 and $19,074, respectively.

2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS   On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the fair value measurement disclosure guidance regarding presenting purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the roll forward of activities in Level 3 of the hierarchy of fair value measurements, which did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.   During May 2011, the FASB amended its fair value measurement guidance, which it states was designed to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Although many of the changes for U.S. GAAP purposes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes to align with IFRS, additional disclosures about fair value measurements would be required, including (i) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (ii) the valuation processes used and the sensitivity of fair value measurements related to investments categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any, and (iii) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial condition but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. The amended fair value measurement guidance will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the amended fair value measurement guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.   During June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income, which it states was designed to improve comparability, consistency and transparency. The amendment requires that all changes in comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the one-statement approach, the Company would present total net income, including its components, followed by other comprehensive income, including its components, and a total of comprehensive income. In the two-statement approach, the first statement would present total net income and its components as currently presented by the Company in its consolidated statement of operations, followed consecutively by a second statement that would present the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively and is effective with interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined whether it will adopt the amendment prior to its effective date.   During September 2011, the FASB amended its guidance regarding goodwill impairment testing and the amount of impairment loss, if any, by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount in lieu of actually calculating the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendment is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined whether it will adopt the amendment prior to its effective date. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the amended guidance regarding goodwill impairment testing will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

20.    SEGMENT INFORMATION   The Company's reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed separately as different levels and types of expertise are required to effectively manage the segments' transactions. Each segment is reviewed to determine the allocation of resources and to assess its performance. The Company's principal operating activities are included in the two business segments as described in Note 1 above – Financial Advisory and Asset Management. In addition, as described in Note 1 above, the Company records selected other activities in its Corporate segment.   The Company's segment information for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is prepared using the following methodology:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"></td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> Revenue and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining operating income. </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">   </td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left">   Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount, square footage and other factors. </td></tr></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">   </td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left">   Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment, and include an allocation of certain assets relating to various segments, based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount, square footage and other factors. </td></tr></table>   The Company allocates investment gains and losses, interest income and interest expense among the various segments based on the segment in which the underlying asset or liability is reported.   Each segment's operating expenses include (i) compensation and benefits expenses incurred directly in support of the businesses and (ii) other operating expenses, which include directly incurred expenses for occupancy and equipment, marketing and business development, technology and information services, professional services, fund administration and outsourced services and indirect support costs (including compensation and other operating expenses related thereto) for administrative services. Such administrative services include, but are not limited to, accounting, tax, legal, facilities management and senior management activities.   Management evaluates segment results based on net revenue and operating income and believes that the following information provides a reasonable representation of each segment's contribution with respect to net revenue, operating income (loss) and

Such shares were authorized as part of the 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the Lazard Ltd 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"). In addition, during the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,682,116 shares (including 1,247,555 shares delivered from Class A common stock held by a subsidiary) and 888,605 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, in connection with certain prior year business acquisitions (see Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).   Secondary Offerings—Pursuant to the applicable Prospectus Supplements, certain selling shareholders of Lazard Ltd (which include current and former managing directors of Lazard (and, from time to time, certain of our directors, executive officers or former executive officers) and their permitted transferees (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders") who hold LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests and/or Class A common stock), may offer to sell shares of Class A common stock pursuant to applicable underwriting and pricing agreements. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 two such secondary offerings occurred, which are described below (no secondary offerings occurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011).   In March 2010, certain Selling Shareholders sold 7,869,311 shares of Class A common stock (including (i) 7,262 shares of Class A common stock previously received upon the exchange of a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests, (ii) 6,180,639 shares of Class A common stock received upon a simultaneous exchange of a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests (including 5,958,000 shares held by the Estate of Lazard's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and related trusts (collectively, the "Estate") and (iii) 1,681,410 shares held by the Estate) at a price of $35.90 per share (collectively, the "March 2010 Secondary Offering").   In August 2010, certain Selling Shareholders (the "August 2010 Selling Shareholders") sold 7,397,837 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $30.32 per share (the "August 2010 Secondary Offering", and together with the March 2010 Secondary Offering, the "2010 Secondary Offerings").

In the aggregate, the August 2010 Selling Shareholders sold a total of 9,897,837 shares of Class A common stock (including 7,194,144 shares of Class A common stock previously received upon the exchange of a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests and 2,703,693 shares of Class A common stock received upon a simultaneous exchange of a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests).   Lazard Ltd did not receive any net proceeds from the sales of Class A common stock from the 2010 Secondary Offerings.   Lazard Group Distributions— As previously described, Lazard Group's common membership interests are held by subsidiaries of Lazard Ltd and by LAZ-MD Holdings. Pursuant to provisions of the Operating Agreement, Lazard Group distributions in respect of its common membership interests are allocated to the holders of such interests on a pro rata basis. Such distributions represent amounts necessary to fund (i) any dividends Lazard Ltd may declare on its Class A common stock and (ii) tax distributions in respect of income taxes that Lazard Ltd's subsidiaries and the members of LAZ-MD Holdings incur as a result of holding Lazard Group common membership interests.   During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Lazard Group distributed the following amounts to LAZ-MD Holdings and the subsidiaries of Lazard Ltd (none of which related to tax distributions): <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="84%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="6" align="center">Nine Months Ended September 30,</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> LAZ-MD Holdings</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,280</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">8,453</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Subsidiaries of Lazard Ltd</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">51,409</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">36,714</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">54,689</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">45,167</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table>   Pursuant to Lazard Group's Operating Agreement, Lazard Group allocates and distributes to its members a substantial portion of its distributable profits in installments, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year. Such installment distributions usually begin in February.   Exchange of Lazard Group Common Membership Interests—In addition to the simultaneous exchanges that occurred in connection with the 2010 Secondary Offerings discussed above, during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Lazard Ltd issued 738,655 and 11,665,618 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, in connection with the exchange of a like number of Lazard Group common membership interests (received from members of LAZ-MD Holdings in exchange for a like number of LAZ-MD Holdings exchangeable interests).   See "Noncontrolling Interests" below for additional information regarding Lazard Ltd's and LAZ-MD Holdings' ownership interests in Lazard Group.   Share Repurchase Program— In January 2010, the Board of Directors of Lazard Ltd authorized, on a cumulative basis, the repurchase of up to $200,000 in aggregate cost of its Class A common stock and Lazard Group common membership interests through December 31, 2011.
