This Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) relates to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2009 as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on June 7, 2010, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on August 4, 2011, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on September 28, 2012 and Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed on December 2, 2014 (as amended, the “Statement”) relating to the Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Legg Mason, Inc. a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 100 International Drive, Baltimore, MD 21202.
Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Statement are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
Following discussions with the Filing Persons about their interest in potentially acquiring additional Shares because the Filing Persons believed the Shares were undervalued, on December 19, 2014 the Issuer advised the Filing Persons that the Issuer’s Board of Directors had taken action (“Board Action”) approving additional future purchases of Shares by Trian thereby extending certain existing waivers of the applicability to the Filing Persons of the Maryland Business Combination Act and Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, as long as the purchases do not result in the Filing Persons owning more than 13% of the outstanding Shares, although the Filing Persons percentage ownership may exceed 13% as a result of subsequent share repurchases and other similar activity by the Issuer. As a result of the Board Action and subject to the limitations thereof, the Filing Persons may acquire additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer or enter into financial instruments or other agreements which increase the Filing Persons economic exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Filing Persons will review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and there can be no assurance that the Filing Persons will acquire additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer or increase their economic exposure with respect to the Issuer. Subject to the limitations set forth as a result of the Board Action and depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets, other investment opportunities available to the Filing Persons and general economic and industry conditions, the Filing Persons may, from time to time and at any time, in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, but not limited to, purchasing additional securities of the Issuer, entering into financial instruments or other agreements which increase or decrease the Filing Persons economic exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer, the transfer or distribution of their holdings in the Issuer to investors in one or more of the Filing Persons, selling some or all of their holdings in the Issuer for portfolio management purposes and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) As of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 19, 2014, the Filing Persons beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 12,887,964 Shares, representing approximately 11.29% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (based upon 114,109,608 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2014, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 6, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”)).
(b) Each of Trian Management, Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, SPV V, Strategic Fund, Strategic Fund-A and Trian ERISA beneficially and directly owns and has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to: 21,224; 2,351,511; 5,972,630; 288,714; 1,848,068; 1,048,137; 1,043,382; and 314,298 Shares, respectively, except to the extent that other Filing Persons as described below may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares.
Each of Trian Management, Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden, by virtue of their relationships to Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, SPV V, Strategic Fund, Strategic Fund-A and Trian ERISA (discussed in Item 2), may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3), the Shares that Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, SPV V, Strategic Fund, Strategic Fund-A and Trian ERISA directly and beneficially own. Each of Trian Management, Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
Each of Mr. May, Mr. Garden, Trian Management and Trian Management GP, by virtue of an agreement with Mr. Peltz (discussed in Item 5), may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3), the Director Shares. Each of Mr. Peltz, Mr. May, Mr. Garden, Trian Management and Trian Management GP disclaims beneficial ownership of such Director Shares for all other purposes.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The first paragraph of Item 4 of Amendment No. 5 is hereby incorporated by reference.
