Lazard IPO may come by 2006 as leaders near a compromise
Article Abstract:
Michel David-Weill and Bruce Wasserstein are said to be approaching a compromise on Wasserstein's plan to float the historically private investment firm on the New York Stock Exchange. David-Weill, the chairman of the firm, approved the initial public offering in October, but only under the condition that Wasserstein, Lazard's operational head, should resign if the offer had not been made by the end of June 2005. It is expected that David-Weill is now readying to alter those conditions, pushing back the deadline to the end of March 2006.
