BURFORD CAPITAL EXPANDS AND FURTHER EXTENDS SOVEREIGN WEALTH
FUND ARRANGEMENT
Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance
and asset management firm focused on law, today announces the
expansion and further extension of its funding arrangement
("BOF-C") with its sovereign wealth fund strategic partner (the
"SWF").
At June 30, 2023, BOF-C had committed $872 million to capital
provision-direct assets, of which $435 million was undrawn. Burford
and the SWF have agreed that BOF-C is able to support commitments
incremental to those currently contracted. As a result, Burford and
the SWF have extended BOF-C's investment period by an additional
year until December 31, 2024 to permit that to occur.
In addition, Burford and the SWF have agreed to amend their
agreement to allow recycling of certain profit, in addition to
recycling of certain deployed capital. This amendment should have
the effect of increasing the total amount of capital that BOF-C is
able to deploy.
New commitments to capital provision-direct assets will continue
to be made as to an attribution ratio of 75% to Burford's balance
sheet and 25% to BOF-C.

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

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,

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

with the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement,

of results of operations or developments in subsequent periods.
