FAQ

What insider transactions did Burford Capital (BUR) report for its CFO?

Burford Capital’s CFO Jordan David Licht reported vesting of RSUs and performance-based RSUs into Ordinary Shares, plus share withholding for taxes. These were compensation-related equity settlements, not open-market stock purchases or sales, reflecting routine conversion of prior awards into common shares.

How many Burford Capital shares vested for the CFO in this Form 4?

A total of 36,425 Ordinary Shares vested for the CFO through RSU and PSU awards. This came from time-based RSUs granted in 2023 and 2025 and performance-based RSUs granted in 2023, all converting into Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.

What does the 77% PSU vesting level mean for Burford Capital’s CFO?

The CFO’s performance-based RSUs vested at 77% of their target level after certification of financial performance metrics. This means only 77% of the original target PSU award converted into Ordinary Shares, directly linking realized equity compensation to measured company performance outcomes.

How many Burford Capital shares were withheld for the CFO’s taxes?

The CFO had 18,597 Ordinary Shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations on RSU and PSU vesting. These shares were effectively surrendered at a value of $7.70 per share, representing a non-market, tax-withholding disposition rather than an elective sale into the open market.

What are the CFO’s Burford Capital share holdings after these transactions?

After the reported vesting and tax withholding, the CFO directly holds 68,350 Ordinary Shares. He also retains significant outstanding RSU and PSU positions, with more than 200,000 units shown in each category, which may convert into additional Ordinary Shares in future if vesting conditions are met.

Are these Burford Capital CFO transactions considered insider buying or selling?

These transactions are primarily equity award vesting and related tax withholding, not classic insider buying or selling. Shares were acquired through derivative exercises of RSUs and PSUs, while a portion was disposed of automatically to cover tax liabilities via net settlement, a routine compensation mechanism.
