NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lazard, Inc. (NYSE: LAZ) announced today the Total Consideration as set forth in the table below in respect of the previously announced cash tender offer (the 'Tender Offer') of its subsidiary Lazard Group LLC ('Lazard Group') for any and all of its outstanding 3.625% Senior Notes due March 1, 2027 (the 'Notes'). The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase dated July 28, 2025. The Tender Offer will expire today at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), unless extended or terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the 'Expiration Time').

The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread over the yield to maturity based on the bid side price of the UST Reference Security listed below, calculated by the Dealer Managers (as defined below) for the Tender Offer as of 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) today, the date on which the Tender Offer is currently scheduled to expire, and is set forth in the table below.

Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, including any such Notes tendered through guaranteed delivery procedures.

Android TV is getting ready to kill off the Discover tab... last month? (APK teardown)
Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV currently offers a Discover tab for getting recommendations and building your watchlist. A new update to the system launcher suggests that Google's planning to drop Discover and move your watchlist to the Home tab. Confusingly, Google's messaging in the app suggest that this change was supposed to take place in July. What does your usage of Android TV look like? Google's big-screen entertainment platform certainly tries to act as a hub that not just organizes all your streaming options in one place, but helps steer you in the direction of what you might want to check out next. Are you taking advantage of that, though, checking in on the Discover tab to get some recommendations from Google? Or are you more likely to dive right in to your favorite streaming app itself, and learn about what's new on a service-by-service basis? We wonder just how many users fall into that latter camp — and Google probably has been too, as the company seems to be getting ready to kill off Discover as we know it. ⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. At least, Google sure looks like it was getting ready to put an end to the Discover tab in Android TV. We're just a little less than sure if that plan is still in motion. Looking over the changes in Google's 7.1.7-787904429-f update for the Android TV Home app — basically the Android TV launcher that provides the base UI — we've identified some new text strings that reference plans to remove Discover: Code Copy Text Your recommendations and watchlist will move to the 'Home' tab. The Discover tab is going away soon The Home tab can already function as a reasonable enough tool for finding new content, especially when you add a few channel rows for your favorite apps. Consolidating Discover recommendations there makes enough sense if Google's looking to clean up some of Android TV's sprawl, and bringing the watchlist along sounds just fine. Considering how straightforward those strings read, where's our confusion coming from? Well, we also found these new strings: Code Copy Text The Discover tab was removed in July 2025. Also, customise your recommendation is on Home tab Your watchlist have moved to Home tab Today marks the start of August, and we're still seeing the Discover tab on all the Android TV devices we checked. More than that, we haven't yet seen the 'going away soon' message displayed, which sure seems intended to give users a bit of a heads-up in advance of the removal. For the moment, color us a little confused about Google's intentions here. Perhaps plans to kill Discover have already been canceled, but this unused code still managed to sneak in to a public build. Or maybe Discover really will be going away, but Google's had to push its timetable back a little. We'll keep an eye out for any further Android TV updates that might shed more light on the company's plans. Follow

Some Silicon Valley AI startups are asking employees to adopt China's outlawed ‘996' work model
Some Silicon Valley startups are embracing China's outlawed '996' work culture, expecting employees to work 12-hour days, six days a week, in pursuit of hyper-productivity and global AI dominance. The trend has sparked debate across the U.S. and Europe, with some tech leaders endorsing the pace while others warn it risks mass burnout and startup failure. Silicon Valley's startup hustle culture is starting to look more and more like an outlawed Chinese working schedule. According to a new report from Wired, Bay Area startups are increasingly leaning into models resembling China's 996 working culture, where employees are expected to work from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., six days a week, totaling 72 hours per week. Startups, especially in the AI space, are openly asking new starts to accept the longer working hours. For example, AI start-up Rilla tells prospective employees in current job listings not to even bother applying unless they are excited about 'working ~70 hrs/week in person with some of the most ambitious people in NYC.' The company's head of growth, Will Gao, told Wired there was a growing Gen-Z subculture 'who grew up listening to stories of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, entrepreneurs who dedicated their lives to building life-changing companies.' He said nearly all of Rilla's 80-person workforce works on a 996 schedule. The rise of the controversial work culture appears to have been born out of the current efficiency squeeze in Silicon Valley. Rounds of mass layoffs and the rise of AI have put pressure and turned up the heat on tech employees who managed to keep their jobs. For example, in February, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told employees who work on Gemini that he recommended being in the office at least every weekday and said 60 hours is the 'sweet spot' for productivity. Other tech CEOs, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have stressed that productivity among workers is king, even if that means working hours or days of overtime. In November 2022, Musk infamously told remaining X, then Twitter, employees to commit to a new and 'extremely hardcore' culture or leave the company with severance pay. Part of the reasoning for the intense work schedules is a desire to compete with China amid a global AI race. Especially after Chinese startup DeepSeek released an AI model on par with some of the top U.S. offerings, rocking leading AI labs. China has actually been trying to clamp down on the 996 culture at home. In 2021, China's top court, the Supreme People's Court, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly declared China's '996' working culture was illegal. At the time, the move was part of the Chinese Communist Party's broader campaign to reduce inequality in Chinese society and limit the power of the nation's largest tech companies. But the practice has already spilled over to other countries. Earlier this summer, the European tech sector also found itself in a heated debate over the working culture. Partly exacerbated by an ongoing debate about Europe's competitiveness in the technology and AI space, some European VCs warned that more work and longer hours may be needed to effectively compete. Harry Stebbings, founder of the 20VC fund, said on LinkedIn in June that Silicon Valley had 'turned up the intensity,' and European founders needed to take notice. '[Seven] days a week is the required velocity to win right now. There is no room for slip up,' Stebbings said in the post. 'You aren't competing against random company in Germany etc but the best in the world.' Some other founders weighed in, criticizing the rise of the 996 working culture and warning that it could quickly lead to burnout culture. Among them was Ivee Miller, a general partner at Balderton Capital. 'Burnout [is] one of the top 3 reasons early-stage ventures fail. It is literally a bad reason to invest,' Miller said on LinkedIn.
