BURFORD CAPITAL LIMITED
Notification of transactions by persons discharging managerial
responsibilities
Burford Capital Limited, the leading global finance and asset
management firm focused on law, provides the following
notifications of transactions by persons discharging managerial
responsibilities (each, a "PDMR" and, collectively, "PDMRs").
Investment in Shares through Burford employee deferred
compensation plan
On November 20, 2023, David Perla, Co-Chief Operating Officer,
used his deferred cash compensation to purchase 1,330 ordinary
shares of nil par value of Burford Capital Limited (the "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, 2022 filed with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 16, 2023. In essence, Burford employees
are able to elect to defer cash compensation, without incurring
current taxes, into the Burford employee deferred compensation
plan, which in turn permits the full amount of that 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.
Estate planning by Mr. Molot
On November 20, 2023, a 4.918453% interest in Jonathan Molot LLC
("JM LLC"), a company which is controlled by Chief Investment
Officer Jonathan Molot and which holds 6,000,000 Shares, was
transferred from Jonathan T. Molot August 2022 Trust to Mr. Molot,
and Mr. Molot transferred a 4.918453% interest in JM LLC to
Jonathan T. Molot November 2023 Trust. Ongoing annual movement of
ownership interests in JM LLC back-and-forth between Mr. Molot and
annual trusts established by Mr. Molot, of which he and his family
members are the beneficiaries, is expected as a normal part of the
US estate planning undertaken.
The Notification of Dealing Forms for these transactions set
forth above are included at the end of this announcement.
