Recent Company History

Over recent months, Burford has focused on capital structure and shareholder returns. In January 2026, it announced and then upsized a private senior-notes offering intended to redeem its 5.000% bonds due 2026. Earlier, it maintained shareholder distributions via a 6.25 US cent interim dividend for 2025 and reported 3Q25 results featuring 61 assets generating proceeds. The current bond redemption pricing follows through on the stated plan to refinance and retire the 2026 bonds after closing the new 2034 notes.

Key Terms

redemption at the option of the issuer, isin, principal amount

3 terms

redemption at the option of the issuer financial

"pursuant to Condition 8.3 (Redemption at the Option of the Issuer), the Issuer intends"

A clause that lets the borrower (the company that issued a bond or preferred share) choose to pay back the security before its stated maturity date. It matters to investors because early repayment changes expected income and timing — like a loan being paid off ahead of schedule — which can lower total returns and force reinvestment at potentially lower interest rates; buyers often demand higher yields or call protection to compensate.

isin financial

"bonds due 2026 (the "Bonds")ISIN: XS1614096425Notice of Early Redemption"

A 12-character International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique code that acts like a passport for a specific stock, bond or other tradable security so it can be identified worldwide. Investors and systems use it to ensure they are buying, selling and tracking the exact same instrument across exchanges and data feeds, which prevents costly mix-ups and makes portfolio reporting, settlement and regulatory checks simpler and more reliable.

principal amount financial

"per cent. per £100 principal amount of the Bonds"

The principal amount is the original sum of money that is borrowed, lent, or invested before any interest, fees, or returns are added. It matters to investors because interest charges, scheduled repayments, and total return are calculated from that base amount — think of it as the price tag on which future costs or gains are built. Knowing the principal helps you compare deals and predict cash flows and risk.
