At the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on July 19, 2007, Legg Mason's stockholders will be asked to consider a proposal approving an amendment to the Legg Mason, Inc. 1996 Equity Incentive Plan that would make an additional 5 million shares of Legg Mason common stock available for issuance under the plan. Upon further consideration, and assuming stockholders approve the proposal, Legg Mason has determined that, in light of the voting guidelines of certain market participants, it will not issue more than 4 million of the 5 million additional shares under the plan without receiving further approval from its stockholders.
