Rhea-AI Summary

Burford Capital is responding to an ISS recommendation against the re-election of two directors, Christopher Halmy and Robert Gillespie, to its Board of Directors. ISS based its recommendation on concerns about ineffective internal financial reporting controls since 2021. Burford argues that ISS has conflated two separate issues: the SEC-driven modifications to valuation approach and the current material weakness in financial controls.

The company emphasizes that Glass Lewis supports both directors' re-election and highlights their significant contributions, including overseeing Burford's NYSE listing in 2020 and the successful transition to US GAAP reporting. The company also addresses ISS's recommendation against executive compensation, defending its use of carried interest allocations as a method to align management and shareholder interests.
