BURFORD CAPITAL ANNOUNCES MOVE TO ELECTRONIC SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

 

Burford Capital Limited, the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, announces that it is writing to all registered shareholders regarding its intention to adopt electronic communication methods for shareholder documents.

 

Communicating with shareholders electronically is consistent with Burford's commitment to protecting the environment by reducing waste and pollution, cutting production and distribution costs, and enabling the Company to deliver information to shareholders in a timely, convenient and cost-effective form.

 

Shareholders will soon receive a letter from the Company's registrar in the United Kingdom and the United States, Computershare, setting out the options available to them. Copies are available at https://www.burfordcapital.com/shareholders/governance/#documentcentre.

 

Shareholders wishing to continue to receive shareholder documents in printed form will need to notify Computershare no later than 4 March 2021 by completing and returning the response form in the letter or updating their email addresses on Computershare's website as set out in the notice.

 

Those shareholders who do not return the response form will be deemed to have consented to receiving shareholder documents or information (including the annual report and notices of Company meetings) by means of Burford's website www.burfordcapital.com.

 

Burford will either send a notice via email or mail to shareholders when new materials are available online including the annual report. Shareholders are entitled to change their preference at any time in the future.

This announcement contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking statements". In some cases, predictive, future-tense or forward-looking 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, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, we and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements which are forward-looking statements, including in our periodic reports that we file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, other information sent to our security holders, and other written materials. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on  numerous assumptions and that our actual results of operations, including our financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate, may differ materially from (and be more negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this report. In addition, even if our results of operations, including our financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

 

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in our views or expectations or otherwise.
