LAZARD ANNOUNCES CASH TENDER OFFER FOR

7.125% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2015 OF LAZARD GROUP LLC

NEW YORK, November 6, 2013 – Lazard Ltd (NYSE: LAZ) announced today that its subsidiary Lazard Group LLC (“Lazard Group”) is commencing a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due May 15, 2015 (the 2015 “Notes”).

The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal dated November 6, 2013. The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on November 14, 2013, unless extended or terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Holders of the Notes are urged to carefully read the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer.

The following table summarizes certain material terms of the Tender Offer:

Holders must validly tender and not subsequently validly withdraw their Notes on or prior to the Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the “Total Consideration.” The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not subsequently withdrawn will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the UST Reference Security listed above, calculated by the Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer as of 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on November 14, 2013, the date on which the Tender Offer is currently scheduled to expire. In addition to the Total Consideration, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below) will be payable in cash on all validly tendered and accepted Notes. The Settlement Date is expected to occur on the next business day following the Expiration Time (the “Settlement Date”).

The closing of the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the completion by Lazard Group of an offering of at least $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. Lazard Group currently expects that it will exercise its right to optionally redeem any and all Notes not purchased by it in the Tender Offer at a make-whole redemption price, calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The Tender Offer is being made solely by means of the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal dated November 6, 2013. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require any tender offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer will be deemed to be 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 jurisdiction.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., and Lazard Frères & Co. LLC are acting as the dealer managers (the “Dealer Managers”) for the Tender Offer. Requests for documents may be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent (the “Information Agent”), by telephone at (800) 758-5378, or in writing at Attn: Elton Bagley, 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, New York, 10005.
