Notification of transactions by person discharging managerial responsibilities

 

Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance and asset
management firm focused on law, provides the following notification of
transactions by a person discharging managerial responsibilities (a "PDMR").

 

On August 22, 2022, Co-Chief Operating Officer David Perla used his cash
compensation to purchase 6,233 ordinary shares of nil par value of Burford
("Shares") through the Burford employee deferred compensation plan.

 

Further details about the Burford employee deferred compensation plan can be
found in Burford's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2021 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2022.
In essence, Burford employees may elect to defer cash compensation, without
incurring current taxes, into the Burford employee deferred compensation plan,
which in turn permits the full amount of such deferred compensation to be
allocated to the Shares (or for other investment options). This is a
tax-efficient way for employees to continue to accumulate exposure to the
Shares.

 

The Notification of Dealing Forms for the transactions set forth above are
included at the end of this announcement.

Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding
assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future

"anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect",
"forecast", "guidance", "intend", "may", "plan", "potential", "predict",
"projected", "should" or "will" or the negative of such terms or other
comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition,
we and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written
statements which are forward-looking statements, including in our periodic
reports that we file with, or furnish to, the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), other information sent to our security holders and
other written materials. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate

Commission from time to time. In addition, even if our results of operations,
including our financial position and liquidity, and the development of the
industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking
statements contained in this announcement, those results of operations or
developments may not be indicative of results of operations or developments in
