How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Burford-only financial

"presented on a Burford-only basis"

capital provision assets financial

"fair value of capital provision assets"

discount rate financial

"Discount rate for fair value assets"

A discount rate is the percentage used to convert future cash flows or earnings into today’s dollars, reflecting how much less a future dollar is worth compared with a dollar now. Think of it like a “time penalty” or the interest rate you require to wait: higher discount rates shrink future values, lowering valuations and making investments look less attractive, so investors use it to compare and price companies and projects.

Return on invested capital (ROIC) financial

"Return on invested capital (ROIC) from a concluded asset"

Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how much profit a company generates from the money put into its business, including debt and equity. Think of it like the harvest you get from seeds you planted: higher ROIC means the company uses its resources more efficiently to grow earnings. Investors care because ROIC shows whether a business is creating value above its cost of financing and helps compare operational effectiveness across companies.

Burford Reports 3Q26 and YTD26 Financial Results

Burford Capital Limited (“Burford”), the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, announces its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 (“3Q26” and “YTD26”, respectively). The full detailed presentation of Burford’s 3Q26 and YTD26 financial results can be viewed at http://investors.burfordcapital.com.

Christopher Bogart, Burford Capital’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Burford had its strongest quarter this year, with robust portfolio activity and good cash generation. Total revenues of $135 million would have been well over $200 million1 if not for the non-cash increase in market discount rates. We also achieved $100 million of de-leveraging and retired our nearest-term debt maturity. We closed the quarter with more than a half-billion dollars of cash on hand.

“After the quarter ended, we also brought in a further $64 million in cash from the resolution of a 2015 vintage matter, generating a 12x return2.”

Burford will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 9.00am EST / 2.00pm GMT on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

The information provided in this press release is for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Forward-looking statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. In some cases, words such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “guidance”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “projected”, “should” or “will”, or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although Burford believes that the assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future results and events reflected in forward-looking statements have a reasonable basis and are expressed in good faith, forward-looking statements involve known and

unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause Burford’s actual results and events to differ materially from (and be more negative than) future results and events expressed, projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results and events to differ include, among others, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Burford’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2026 and in Burford’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements contained in the periodic and current reports that Burford files with or furnishes to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond Burford’s ability to control or predict, and new factors emerge from time to time. Furthermore, Burford cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results and events to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Burford’s forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Burford or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and, except as required by applicable law, Burford undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Burford uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted total revenues. Burford believes that adjusted total revenues are an important measure of Burford’s operating and financial performance and are useful to management and investors when assessing the performance of Burford-only capital provision assets. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP.

Key performance indicators

Burford uses certain unaudited key performance indicators (“KPIs”). The KPIs are presented because Burford uses them to monitor its financial condition and results of operations and/or Burford believes they are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. The presentation of the KPIs is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what Burford’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been, nor does it project its financial condition at any future date or its results of operations for any future period. The presentation of the KPIs is based on information available as of the date of this press release and certain assumptions and estimates that Burford believes are reasonable.

The information contained in this Presentation is provided as of the dates and for the periods indicated in this Presentation and is subject to change without notice. The financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. Forward-looking statements. This Presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements with respect to the Company’s expectations regarding the performance of its business and legal finance assets and other nonhistorical statements, as well as the Company’s target metrics and projections, such as modeled realizations and modeled return on invested capital (“ROIC”), that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. In some cases, words such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “guidance”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “projected”, “should” or “will”, or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future results and events reflected in forward-looking statements have a reasonable basis and are expressed in good faith, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause the Company’s actual results and events to differ materially from (and be more negative than) future results and events expressed, targeted, projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results and events to differ include, among others, the following: (i) adverse litigation outcomes and timing of resolution of litigation matters; (ii) the Company’s ability to identify and select suitable legal finance assets; (iii) improper use or disclosure of, or access to, privileged information, intellectual property or litigation or business strategy due to cybersecurity breaches, unauthorized use or theft; (iv) inaccuracy or failure of the probabilistic model and decision science tools, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence (collectively, “AI technologies”), the Company uses to predict the returns on its legal finance assets and in its operations; (v) changes and uncertainty in laws, regulations and rules relating to the legal finance industry, including those relating to privileged information and/or disclosure and enforceability of legal finance arrangements; (vi) inadequacies in the Company’s due diligence process or unforeseen developments; (vii) credit risk and concentration risk relating to the Company’s legal finance assets; (viii) lack of liquidity of the Company’s legal finance assets and commitments in excess of its available capital; (ix) the Company’s ability to obtain attractive external capital, refinance its outstanding indebtedness or raise capital to meet its liquidity needs; (x) the Company’s ability to comply with the covenants in its indentures governing its outstanding debt securities and changes in its credit ratings; (xi) competitive factors and demand for the Company’s services and capital; (xii) failure of lawyers who prosecute and/or defend claims that the Company has financed to exercise due skill and care or the misalignment of their interests or those of their clients with the Company’s; (xiii) poor performance by the commitments the Company makes on behalf of its private funds; (xiv) negative publicity about or public perception of the legal finance industry or the Company; (xv) valuation uncertainty with respect to the fair value of the Company’s capital provision assets; (xvi) current and future legal, political and economic factors, including uncertainty surrounding the effects, severity and duration of public health threats and/or military actions; (xvii) developments in AI technologies and expectations relating to environmental, social and governance considerations; (xviii) potential liability from litigation and legal proceedings against the Company; (xix) the Company’s ability to hire and retain key personnel; (xx) risks relating to the Company’s international operations as a result of differing legal and regulatory requirements, political, social and economic conditions and unforeseeable developments; (xxi) exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; (xxii) uncertainty relating to the tax treatment of the Company’s financing arrangements; (xxiii) information systems risks or improper functioning of the Company’s information systems or those of its third-party service providers; (xxiv) failure of the Company’s third-party service providers to fulfill their obligations or misconduct by its third-party service providers; (xxv) failure by the Company to maintain the privacy and security of personal information and comply with applicable data privacy and protection laws and regulations; (xxvi) failure by the Company to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures; (xxvii) failure by the Company to comply with the requirements of being a US domestic public company and the costs associated therewith; and (xxviii) certain risks relating to the Company’s incorporation in Guernsey. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements contained in the Company’s periodic and current reports that it files with or furnishes to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict, and new factors emerge from time to time. Furthermore, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results and events to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Presentation and, except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition to forward-looking statements, this Presentation includes certain data based on calculations derived from the Company’s probabilistic modeling of individual matters and its portfolio as a whole. This data is not a forecast of future results, and past performance is not a guide to future performance. The inherent volatility and unpredictability of legal finance assets precludes forecasting and limits the predictive nature of the Company’s probabilistic model. Furthermore, the inherent nature of the probabilistic model is that actual results will differ from the modeled results, and such differences could be material. The data based on calculations derived from the Company’s probabilistic model contained in this Presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a profit forecast or be relied upon as a guide to future performance.

Notice and disclaimer (continued) Estimates and Assumptions. This Presentation includes certain unaudited financial and business projections, targets and goals with respect to the Company’s future outlook (collectively, the “Estimates”). The Estimates reflect subjective judgment in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, the Estimates constitute forward-looking information and are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results forecasted in these projections, targets or goals. There can be no assurance that the Estimates will be realized or that actual results will not be materially higher or lower than forecast. The Estimates cannot, therefore, be considered a guarantee of future results of operations, and this information should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives considered or considers the Estimates to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the Estimates should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by the Company that its management views the Estimates as material information. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives has made or makes any representation to any of the Company’s shareholders or any other person regarding the ultimate performance of the Company compared to the information contained in the Estimates or can give any assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Estimates. Certain of the projected financial information in this Presentation may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP (as defined below), and non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. No reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the Estimates to measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP was created or used in connection with preparing the Estimates. In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the Estimates, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Estimates. THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE OR RECONCILE THE ESTIMATES TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AFTER THE DATE THE ESTIMATES WERE GENERATED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE ESTIMATES ARE NO LONGER APPROPRIATE OR ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Basis of presentation; non-GAAP financial measures; key performance indicators; definitions. The Company reports its financial results in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). US GAAP requires the Company to present financial statements that consolidate some of the limited partner interests in private funds the Company manages as well as assets held on the Company’s balance sheet where it has a partner or minority investor. As a result, the Company uses various measures, including Burford-only and adjusted Burford-only financial measures, which are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with US GAAP, to supplement analysis and discussion of its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of Burford-only financial measures is consistent with how management measures and assesses the performance of the Company’s reporting segments, which are evaluated by management on a Burford-only basis, and that the presentation of Burford-only and adjusted Burford-only financial measures provides valuable and useful information to investors to aid in understanding the Company’s performance in addition to its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP by eliminating the effect of the consolidation. In addition, the Company’s segment reporting, which conveys the performance of its business across two reportable segments—Principal Finance and Asset Management and Other Services—is presented on a Burford-only basis. The Company refers to its segment reporting in the aggregate as “total segments”. The Company also uses additional non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted total revenues, adjusted capital provision income/(loss), cash receipts, tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share (“TBVPS”), return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) and various indebtedness leverage ratios. The Company believes that (i) adjusted total revenues, adjusted capital provision income/(loss) and cash receipts are an important measure of the Company’s operating and financial performance and are useful to management and investors when assessing the performance of Burford-only capital provision assets, (ii) TBVPS is an important measure of the Company’s financial condition and is useful to management and investors when assessing capital adequacy and the Company’s ability to generate earnings on tangible equity invested by its shareholders and (iii) ROTCE is an important measure of the Company’s operating and financial performance and is useful to management and investors when assessing the performance of Burford-only capital provision assets. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, the Company uses certain unaudited key performance indicators (“KPIs”). The KPIs are presented because the Company uses them to monitor its financial condition and results of operations and/or the Company believes they are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. The presentation of the KPIs is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what the Company’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been, nor does it project its financial condition at any future date or its results of operations for any future period. The presentation of the KPIs is based on information available as of the date of this Presentation and certain assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable. Additional information with respect to these non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs, their respective definitions and calculations and related reconciliations are provided in “Other Reconciliations” and “Glossary” sections of this Presentation. * * * * *

Burford Reports 3Q26 Financial Results “Burford had its strongest quarter this year, with robust portfolio activity and good cash generation. Total revenues of $135 million would have been well over $200 million if not for the non-cash increase in market discount rates. We also achieved $100 million of de-leveraging and retired our nearest-term debt maturity. We closed the quarter with more than a half-billion dollars of cash on hand. “After the quarter ended, we also brought in a further $64 million in cash from the resolution of a 2015 vintage matter, generating a 12x return.” Christopher Bogart Chief Executive Officer Conference Call Burford will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 9.00am EST / 2.00pm GMT on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

Key Messages

Key Messages 8 • Strongest quarter YTD, with 3Q26 total revenues of $135 million, roughly double that of 3Q25 • Adverse non-cash rate movement in 3Q26 generated $94 million of portfolio fair value losses as average discount rate rose ~90 basis points - Without rate movements, 3Q26 capital provision income of $116 million would have been $210 million • Solid 3Q26 cash receipts of $89 million, with YTD26 cash receipts of $336 million ― and $64 million in further cash from a single case success in October already received • Debt reduced by $100 million, taking one-third of a turn off our debt/equity ratio, and around 10x oversubscribed debt offering shows capital markets access • Achieved a 13.4% annualized return on tangible equity1 in 3Q26, despite headwind of market interest rates 1 Annualized return on tangible equity is calculated as the annualized net income/(loss) attributable to Burford Capital Limited shareholders in 3Q26 divided by the average of the tangible common equity as of the end of 3Q26 and as of the end of 2Q26.

Case held at cost until motion to dismiss denied in part. 2017: Further deployments of $3.9 million as case proceeds into discovery. 2018 - 2019: Court grants summary judgment for defendant causing a $2.2 million write-down. 2020: Appellate court reverses district court’s grant of summary judgment, reinstating the claims, leading to a fair value gain of $11.4 million due primarily to the case milestone. 2021 - 2025: Parties complete additional discovery following appeal. Case delayed due to Covid-19 pandemic backlog and reasons beyond the parties’ control. 2026: Further developments as trial nears give rise in 3Q26 to $12.2 million of fair value gain. Early in 4Q26, parties agree settlement to which Burford’s entitlement is $63.7 million, generating a realized gain above cost of $58.8 million. Cash received on October 28, 2026.

Cash realizations unimpacted by rates, only GAAP income 10 Key Messages • Ultimate cash realizations tied to litigation outcomes, not changes in market interest rates • Capital provision assets valued for GAAP purposes using set of cash flows adjusted for litigation risk and duration - Discount rate for fair value assets in net present value calculation is market-based - Changes in market interest rates cause discount rate to fluctuate, creating volatility from period to period • In 3Q26, rate changes caused $94 million of fair value losses arising from ~90 basis point quarter-on-quarter increase • Burford employs multiple tools to offset impact of inflation, including time-based multiples, back-end interest rate protections, minimum IRR thresholds and percentages of total proceeds - Court-imposed interest rates are also impacted by changes in market interest rates, meaning that rate increases can drive increases in post-judgment interest Changes in portfolio fair value average discount rate (bps) Quarter-on-quarter variance in approximate basis points and average discount rate as of period end -30 80 10 -90 20 10 -90 50 -20 -20 -10 -30 50 10 90 1Q23 2Q23 3Q23 4Q23 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 2Q25 3Q25 4Q25 1Q26 2Q26 3Q26 7.0% 7.8% 7.9% 7.0% 7.2% 7.3% 6.4% 6.9% 6.7% 6.5% 6.4% 6.1% 6.6% 6.7% 7.6%

Cash Receipts 1) Adjustments for the change in asset management receivables accrued during the applicable period but not yet received as of the end of such period. NOTE: Cash receipts provide a measure of the cash that our capital provision and other assets generate during a given period as well as cash from certain other fees and income.

Advantage Fund Burford Advantage Master Fund LP, a private fund focused on pre-settlement litigation strategies where litigation risk remains, but where the overall risk return profile is generally lower than assets financed directly by our balance sheet. Investors in the Advantage Fund include third parties as well as Burford’s balance sheet. Assets held by the Advantage Fund are recorded as capital provision assets. Asset Management and Other Services segment One of our two reportable segments. Asset Management and Other Services segment manages legal finance assets on behalf of third-party investors through private funds and provides other services to the legal industry. BOF-C Burford Opportunity Fund C LP, a private fund through which a sovereign wealth fund invests in pre-settlement legal finance matters under the sovereign wealth fund arrangement. Burford-only (non-GAAP) A basis of presentation that refers to assets, liabilities and activities that pertain only to Burford on a proprietary basis, excluding any third-party interests and the portions of jointly owned entities owned by others. Capital provision assets Financial instruments that relate to the provision of capital in connection with legal finance. Cash receipts Cash receipts provide a measure of the cash that our capital provision and other assets generate during a given period as well as cash from certain other fees and income. In particular, cash receipts represent the cash generated from capital provision and other assets, including cash proceeds from realized or concluded assets and any related hedging assets, and cash received from asset management income, services and/or other income, before any deployments into financing existing or new assets. Commitment A commitment is the amount of financing we agree to provide for a legal finance asset. Commitments can be definitive (requiring us to provide financing on a schedule or, more often, when certain expenses are incurred) or discretionary (allowing us to provide financing after reviewing and approving a future matter). Commitments for which we have not yet provided financing are unfunded commitments. Concluded and partially concluded assets A legal finance asset is “concluded” for our purposes when there is no longer any litigation risk remaining. We use the term to encompass (i) entirely concluded legal finance assets where we have received all proceeds to which we are entitled (net of any entirely concluded losses), (ii) partially concluded legal finance assets where we have received some proceeds (for example, from a settlement with one party in a multi-party case) but where the case is continuing with the possibility of receiving additional proceeds and (iii) legal finance assets where the underlying litigation has been resolved and there is a promise to pay proceeds in the future (for example, in a settlement that is to be paid over time). Consolidated funds Certain of our private funds in which, because of our investment in and/or control of such private funds, we are required under the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) to consolidate the minority limited partner’s interests in such private funds and include the full financial results of such private funds within our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of this Presentation, BOF-C and the Advantage Fund are consolidated funds. Definitive commitments Commitments where we are contractually obligated to advance incremental capital and failure to do so would typically result in adverse contractual consequences (such as a dilution in our returns or the loss of our deployed capital in a case). Deployment Financing provided for an asset or other additions on consolidation, which add to our deployed cost in such asset. Glossary 49

Deployed cost Deployed cost is the amount of financing we have provided for an asset at the applicable point in time. For purposes of calculating returns, we must consider how to allocate the costs associated with an asset in the event of a partial conclusion. Our approach to cost allocation depends on the type of asset: When single case assets have partial resolutions along the way without the entire case being resolved, most commonly because one party settles and the remaining part(y)/(ies) continue to litigate, we report the partial resolution when agreed as a partial realization and allocate a portion of the deployed cost to the partial resolution depending on the significance of the settling party to the overall claim. In portfolio assets when a case (or part of a case) resolves or generates cash proceeds, we report the partial resolution when agreed as a partial realization and allocate a portion of the deployed cost to the resolution. The allocation depends on the structure of the individual portfolio arrangement and the significance of the resolution to the overall portfolio, but it is in essence a method that mimics the way an investor would allocate cost basis across a portfolio of security purchases. Discretionary commitments Commitments where we are not contractually obligated to advance capital and generally would not suffer adverse financial consequences from not doing so. Group-wide A basis of presentation that refers to the totality of assets managed by us, which includes assets financed by our balance sheet through our Principal Finance segment and assets funded by third parties through our Asset Management and Other Services segment. Internal rate of return (IRR) Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is a discount rate that makes the net present value of a series of cash flows equal to zero and is expressed as a percentage figure. We compute IRR on concluded (including partially concluded) legal finance assets by treating that entire portfolio (or, when noted, a subset thereof) as one undifferentiated pool of capital and measuring actual and, if necessary, estimated inflows and outflows from that pool, allocating costs appropriately. IRRs do not include unrealized gains or losses. Monetization The acceleration of a portion of the expected value of a litigation or arbitration matter prior to resolution of such matter, which permits a client to convert an intangible claim or award into tangible cash on a non-recourse basis. Portfolio The sum of the fair value of capital provision assets and the undrawn commitments. Principal Finance segment One of our two reportable segments. Principal Finance segment includes the allocation of capital to legal finance assets from our balance sheet, primarily as capital provision assets, and in limited scope through interests in private funds managed by us. Realization A legal finance asset is realized when the asset is concluded (i.e., when litigation risk has been resolved). A realization will result in us receiving cash or, occasionally, non-cash assets, or recognizing a due from settlement receivable, reflecting what we are owed on the asset. Realized gain or loss Reflects the total amount of gain or loss, relative to cost, generated by a legal finance asset when it is realized, calculated as realized proceeds less deployed cost, without regard for any previously recognized fair value adjustment. Return on invested capital (ROIC) Return on invested capital (“ROIC”) from a concluded asset is the absolute amount of realizations from such asset in excess of the amount of expenditure incurred in financing such asset divided by the amount of expenditure incurred, expressed as a percentage figure. ROIC is a measure of our ability to generate absolute returns on our assets. Some industry participants express returns on a multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) instead of a ROIC basis. MOIC includes the return of capital and, therefore, is 1x higher than ROIC. In other words, 70% ROIC is the same as 1.70x MOIC. Glossary (continued) 50

Glossary (continued) 51 Total segments Refers to the sum of our two reportable segments, (i) Principal Finance and (ii) Asset Management and Other Services, and is presented on a Burford-only basis. Unrealized gain or loss Represents the fair value of our legal finance assets over or under their deployed cost, as determined in accordance with the requirements of the applicable US GAAP standards, for the relevant financial reporting period (unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations) or cumulatively (unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition). Vintage Refers to the calendar year in which a legal finance commitment is initially made. YPF-related assets Refers to our Petersen and Eton Park legal finance assets, which are two claims relating to the Republic of Argentina’s nationalization of YPF S.A., the Argentine energy company.
