Key Terms
Schedule 13G/A, Beneficially owned, Sole dispositive power
3 terms
Schedule 13G/Aregulatory
"Amendment No. 6; reporting beneficial ownership of more than 5 percent"
A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.
Beneficially ownedfinancial
"Item 4(a) Amount beneficially owned: 18,796,436"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Sole dispositive powerregulatory
"Item 4(c)(iii) Sole power to dispose: Orbis 18,609,387"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.
What stake do Orbis and Allan Gray report in Burford Capital (BUR)?

Does this Schedule 13G/A indicate a coordinated group between the filers?
No, the filing states the Reporting Persons do not represent they are a group under Section 13(d)(3). Each disclaims beneficial ownership of the other’s holdings and provides information separately as non-U.S. institutions.
What voting and dispositive powers are disclosed for the reported holdings?
Orbis is shown with sole voting and sole dispositive power over 18,609,387 shares; Allan Gray has both over 187,049 shares. Shared voting and dispositive powers are reported as 0 for each.
When was the ownership information certified in this amendment?
The signature block shows certification by an attorney-in-fact dated 05/15/2026. That date anchors the ownership snapshot disclosed in the amendment.
How are the Reporting Persons classified in the filing?
They are classified as Non-U.S. Institutions (FI) equivalent to an Investment Adviser (IA). The filing states the foreign regulatory scheme is substantially comparable to the U.S. scheme and offers to furnish additional information if requested.
