To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated July 25, 2019, and the related letter of transmittal (which together, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”), in connection with the offer by Lazard World Dividend & Income Fund, Inc., a diversified, closed-end management investment company incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland (the “Fund”), to purchase for cash up to 1,376,037 (approximately 20%) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a price per share equal to 98% of its net asset value (“NAV”) per share determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, the principal market on which the shares are traded, on the day the offer expires (such price, expressed as a percentage of NAV per share, the “Purchase Price”), in cash, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

All shares validly tendered before the Expiration Date (as specified in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase) and not properly withdrawn will be purchased by the Fund at the Purchase Price in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including the proration provisions thereof. All shares that the Fund does not accept for purchase because of proration will be returned at the Fund’s expense to the stockholders that tendered such shares promptly after the Expiration Date.

We are the owner of record of shares held for your account. As such, we are the only ones who can tender your shares, and then only pursuant to your instructions. We are sending you the letter of transmittal for your information only. You cannot use the letter of transmittal to tender shares we hold for your account.

Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, any or all of the shares we hold for your account, by completing and signing the Instruction Form enclosed herein.

Please note carefully the following:

1.    You should consult with your broker and/or tax advisor as to whether (and if so, in what manner) you should designate the priority in which you want your tendered shares to be purchased in the event of proration.

2.   The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of shares being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to other conditions set forth in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, which you should read carefully.

3.    The Offer and the withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2019, unless the Fund extends the Offer.

4.    The Offer is for up to 1,376,037 shares, constituting approximately 20% of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of July 15, 2019.

5.    No fees or commissions will be payable by you to the Fund in connection with the Offer. However, brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees who tender their shares of common stock pursuant to your instructions may charge you a fee for doing so. Any stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of shares of common stock to the Fund pursuant to the Offer will be paid by the Fund except as otherwise provided in the Offer to Purchase.

6.   The Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) has approved the Offer. However, none of the Fund, its Board, Lazard Asset Management LLC, the Fund’s investment manager, or Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the information agent for the Offer, makes any recommendation to any stockholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any shares. Stockholders should carefully evaluate all information in the Offer, should consult their own investment and tax advisors, and should make their own decisions about whether to tender shares, and, if so, how many shares to tender. The Fund has been advised that its Directors and Officers do not intend to tender any shares in the Offer.

The current NAV per share of the Fund will be calculated daily and may be obtained from the Fund by calling (800) 823-6300.

If you wish to have us tender any or all of your shares, please instruct us to that effect by completing, executing and returning to us the enclosed Instruction Form. If you authorize us to tender your shares, we will tender all of the shares that we hold beneficially for your account unless you specify otherwise on the enclosed Instruction Form.

Please forward your completed Instruction Form to us in a timely manner to give us ample time to permit us to submit the tender on your behalf before the Expiration Date of the Offer. The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2019, unless the Fund extends the Offer.

As described in the Offer to Purchase, if more than 1,376,037 shares, or such greater number of shares as the Fund may elect to purchase in accordance with applicable law, are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Date, then the Fund will purchase validly tendered shares on a pro rata basis with appropriate rounding adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares, as provided in the Offer to Purchase.
