BURFORD CAPITAL LIMITED
Notification of transactions by persons discharging managerial
responsibilities
Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance
and asset management firm focused on law, provides the following
notification of various PDMR transactions.
Burford has been notified of certain securities purchased on 5
October 2020 by Hugh Steven Wilson, Burford's Deputy Chairman. Mr
Wilson purchased 20,590 Bank of New York Mellon-sponsored American
Depository Receipts ( " ADR " ) representing Burford shares at a
price of $8.95 per ADR.
As announced in 2018 and earlier in 2020, Jonathan Molot,
Burford's Chief Investment Officer, transferred 6,000,000 ordinary
shares in Burford to Jonathan Molot LLC ("JM LLC"), a company
controlled by Mr Molot. 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. Certain further movement occurred on 7 October
2020, with a 5.569598% and a 25.284185% interest in JM LLC being
returned to Mr Molot from the Jonathan T. Molot 2018 Trust and the
Jonathan T. Molot 2019 Trust, respectively; those interests were in
turn transferred on 8 October 2020 to Jonathan T. Molot 2020 Trust
No. 2, of which Mr Molot is initially the sole beneficiary. These
transfers do not affect the overall interest in shares in Burford
held by Mr Molot and the associated annual trusts.
Additionally, Burford reports that on 5 October 2020 Burford's
Employees' Benefit Trust delivered shares to the following persons
discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") who had
previously been granted conditional share awards in prior years
pursuant to the Burford Capital 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan. The
vesting of the awards was subject to performance conditions, which
were satisfied.
