Notification of Transaction by Person Discharging
Managerial Responsibilities
Burford Capital Limited, the leading global finance
and asset management firm focused on law, provides the following notification of a transaction by a person discharging managerial responsibilities.
On May 28, 2024, Chris Halmy, Vice Chair and Non-Executive Director, used his deferred cash compensation to purchase 712 ordinary shares
of nil par value of Burford Capital Limited (the "Shares") through the Burford employee deferred compensation plan.
Further details
about the Burford employee deferred compensation plan can be found in Burford's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December
31, 2023 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024. In essence, Burford employees and non-executive
directors are able to elect to defer cash compensation, without incurring current taxes, into the Burford employee deferred compensation
plan, which in turn permits the full amount of that deferred compensation to be allocated to the Shares (or for other investment options).
This is a tax-efficient way for employees and non-executive directors to continue to accumulate exposure to the Shares.

This announcement does not constitute an offer
of any Burford private fund. Burford Capital Investment Management LLC, which acts as the fund manager of all Burford private funds,
is registered as an investment adviser with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The information provided in this announcement
is for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The information contained in this announcement

Forward-looking statements
This announcement
contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
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, Burford and its representatives may from time
to time make other oral or written statements that are forward-looking, including in its periodic reports that Burford files with, or
furnishes to, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, other information made available to Burford’s 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. Burford cautions that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on numerous assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs
and that Burford’s actual results of operations, including its financial position and liquidity, and the development of the industry
in which it operates, may differ materially from (and be more negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements
contained in this announcement. Significant factors that may cause actual results to differ from those Burford expects include, among
others, those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Burford’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2023 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024 and other reports or documents that Burford files with,
or furnishes to, the US Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. In addition, even if Burford’s results of operations,
including its financial position and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking
statements contained in this announcement, those results of operations or developments may not be indicative of results of operations
or developments in subsequent periods.
Except as required by law, Burford undertakes
no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
