Notice of EGM

Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, today announces the date of its extraordinary general meeting (the "EGM") and the distribution of the notice of the EGM (the "Notice of EGM") to registered shareholders. In addition to the approval of KPMG LLP's appointment as Burford's independent registered public accounting firm and the authorization of the board of directors to agree upon KPMG LLP's remuneration, Burford is taking the opportunity, in anticipation of a change to full US issuer status this year, to propose a series of amendments to Burford's articles of incorporation to bring them more in keeping with typical US market norms and to adopt current best practices as advised by US counsel.

The EGM will be held at 1:30 p.m. BST on August 20, 2024 at Oak House, Hirzel Street, St. Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 2NP. Details of the proposed resolutions, as well as the procedure for voting by proxy and shareholder attendance, are set out in the Notice of EGM.

As a result of Burford's ordinary shares trading on both the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange and Burford's incorporation in Guernsey, additional time is required for Broadridge's tabulation of final votes on the resolutions proposed at the EGM. Consequently, Burford expects that the final results of the voting at the EGM will be announced on August 23, 2024.

The principal amendments made to Burford's articles of incorporation are summarized in the "Explanatory Notes" section of the Notice of EGM.
