TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES

 

Burford Capital Limited (the "Company"), the leading global finance and asset
management firm focused on law, today announces that, in accordance with the
terms of its programme announced on September 19, 2023 to purchase its
ordinary shares, no par value per share ("Ordinary Shares") up to a maximum
aggregate amount of £4.0 million (the "Programme") in connection with
forthcoming vesting of restricted stock units under the Burford Capital 2016
Long Term Incentive Plan, the Company purchased the following number of
Ordinary Shares through Numis Securities Limited ("Numis").

 

 Date of purchase:                                             September 22, 2023
 Aggregate number of Ordinary Shares purchased:                57,087
 Lowest price paid per Ordinary Share (GBp):                   1159.00
 Highest price paid per Ordinary Share (GBp):                  1178.00
 Volume weighted average price paid per Ordinary Share (GBp):  1167.7701

 

Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Programme will be initially held by
the Company in treasury. Following the purchase and settlement of these
Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued ordinary share capital is 219,049,877,
of which 276,574 Ordinary Shares are held in treasury and do not have any
voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company,
excluding treasury shares, will be 218,773,303 after giving effect to the
purchases described above. This figure for the total number of voting rights
may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the UK version of Regulation (EU) No.
596/2014 which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)

an offer to buy any ordinary shares or other securities of Burford.

 

This announcement does not constitute an offer of any Burford private fund.
Burford Capital Investment Management LLC, which acts as the fund manager of
all Burford private funds, is registered as an investment adviser with the
US Securities and Exchange Commission. The information provided in this
announcement is for informational purposes only. Past performance is not
indicative of future results. The information contained in this announcement

Forward-looking statements

This announcement contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding
assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future
events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking statements". In some
cases, predictive, future-tense or forward-looking words such as "aim",
"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,
Burford and its representatives may from time to time make other oral or
written statements that are forward-looking, including in its periodic reports
that Burford files with, or furnishes to, the US Securities and Exchange
Commission, other information made available to Burford's security holders and
other written materials. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate
to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.
Burford cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are based on numerous assumptions, expectations, projections,
intentions and beliefs and that Burford's actual results of operations,
including its financial position and liquidity, and the development of the
industry in which it operates, may differ materially from (and be more
negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements
contained in this announcement. Significant factors that may cause actual
results to differ from those Burford expects include, among others, those
discussed under "Risk Factors" in Burford's annual report on Form 20-F for the
year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 16, 2023 and other reports or documents that Burford files
with, or furnishes to, the US Securities and Exchange Commission from time to
time. In addition, even if Burford's results of operations, including its
financial position and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which
it operates 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 subsequent periods.

 

Except as required by law, Burford undertakes no obligation to update or
revise the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
