Insights
TL;DR: Routine director deferred-compensation award; aligns director payout with future share issuance upon board exit.
The filing documents a standard grant of 2,126 Deferred Stock Units to a non-executive director under the firm's 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan. DSUs convert to common shares one-for-one only upon the directors departure from the board, which preserves current share count until conversion and ties the directors economic outcome to long-term share performance. This is a customary governance practice for non-executive directors and does not itself change board composition or current outstanding share counts.
TL;DR: Transaction is a non-cash, deferred award with no immediate cash proceeds or exercised options.
The Form 4 reports an award of 2,126 DSUs at $0 price, indicating no sale or purchase of shares occurred at grant. Because conversion to common stock is contingent on cessation of board service, there is no immediate change in Lazards public float. For investors, this is a disclosure of insider compensation rather than a liquidity or financing event.
