Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

From time to time, Legg Mason, Inc. may publish a non-GAAP measure “EBITDA, Bank Defined” in a public disclosure. EBITDA, Bank Defined, a liquidity measure, which is the measure of EBITDA that is used in the financial covenants of our bank credit agreement, is defined as Cash provided by operating activities plus (minus) (i) allocation of the repurchase prepayment of 2.5% convertible senior notes, (ii) interest expense, net of non-cash items, (iii) current income tax expense, (iv) gains/(losses) on investments and (v) net change of other assets and liabilities.

We believe that EBITDA, Bank Defined, is useful to investors as a refined liquidity measure that adds back certain cash items. This measure is provided in addition to Cash provided by operating activities and may not be comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, including measures of EBITDA or cash flow measures, of other companies. Further, EBITDA, Bank Defined is not to be confused with Net income, Cash provided by operating activities or other measures of earnings or cash flows under GAAP, and is provided as a supplement to, and not in replacement of, a GAAP measure.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a reconciliation of EBITDA, Bank Defined, to Cash provided by operating activities.

The information in this Section 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
