    Notice & disclaimer 
This presentation (this “Presentation”) provides certain information to facilitate review and 
understanding of the business, financial condition and results of operations of Burford Capital 
Limited (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Burford”, “we”, “our” or “us”) as of 
and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and does not purport to be a complete 
description of the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 
2025.
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, 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 under the Company’s control 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) competitive factors and demand for the Company’s services and capital; 
(xi) failure of lawyers to prosecute and/or defend claims which the Company has financed 
with necessary skill and care or misalignment of their clients’ interests with the Company’s; 
(xii) poor performance by the commitments the Company makes on behalf of its private funds; 
(xiii) negative publicity or public perception of the legal finance industry or the Company; (xiv) 
valuation uncertainty with respect to the fair value of the Company’s capital provision assets; 
(xv) current and future legal, political and economic factors, including uncertainty surrounding 
the effects, severity and duration of public health threats and/or military actions; (xvi) 
developments in AI technologies and expectations relating to environmental, social and 
governance considerations; (xvii) potential liability from litigation and legal proceedings 
against the Company; (xviii) the Company’s ability to hire and retain key personnel; (xix) 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; (xx) 
exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; (xxi) uncertainty relating to the tax 
treatment of the Company’s financing arrangements; (xxii) cybersecurity risks and improper 
functioning of the Company’s information systems or those of its third-party service providers; 
(xxiii) failure of the Company’s third-party service providers to fulfill their obligations or 
misconduct by its third-party service providers; (xxiv) failure by the Company to maintain the 
privacy and security of personal information and comply with applicable data privacy and 
protection laws and regulations; (xxv) failure by the Company to maintain effective internal 
control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures; (xxvi) failure by 
the Company to comply with the requirements of being a US domestic public company and the 
costs associated therewith; and (xxvii) 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 forwardlooking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance 
on the Company’s forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forwardlooking 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 & disclaimer 
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 cash receipts, 
tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share (“TBVPS”) and 
various indebtedness leverage ratios. The Company believes that (i) 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 and (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. 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 nonGAAP 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 2Q25 
Financial Results
“Burford saw sharp increases in revenue and profitability in 
the second quarter and on a year-to-date basis. We also 
have written very substantial levels of new business so far 
this year, illustrating the ongoing strength of demand and 
our pipeline.
In July we raised a half billion dollars of new capital in two 
days, which reflects market confidence in our trajectory, 
and underscores Burford’s scale as a formidable competitive 
moat.”
Christopher Bogart

• Capital provision income was $155 
million in 2Q25 and $246 million in 
YTD25, up 79% from YTD24, driven 
by higher unrealized gains in the 
portfolio
• Asset management income was $7 
million in 2Q25 and $21 million in 
YTD25, up 15% from YTD24, 
primarily due to performance fees in 
the Advantage Fund recognized in 
1Q25 
• Operating expenses increased period-
over-period primarily due to variable 
non-cash drivers of compensation and 
benefits
• Net income was $88 million ($0.39 per 
diluted share) in 2Q25 and $119 
million ($0.53 per diluted share) in

1) “Duration impact (passage of time)“ represents the change in fair value on assets that were held in the portfolio as of the beginning of the measurement period and continue to be held in the portfolio as of the end of the 
measurement period assuming there was no change to discount rate or any other inputs during the measurement period.
2) “Change in discount rate” represents the difference in fair value between using the actual discount rates in effect as of the end of the measurement period applied to the portfolio as of the end of the measurement period versus 
using the discount rates that were in effect as of the start of the measurement period applied to the portfolio as of the end of the measurement period.
3) “Milestones and other model impacts” represent all other change in fair value during the measurement period (realized or unrealized) attributable to all other input and model updates including the impact of litigation milestone 
events, changes in expected proceeds and changes in expected duration.

    We remain well-positioned to monetize YPF-related assets
19
• We believe YPF-related assets will ultimately deliver a ten-figure recovery for Burford, but litigation risk remains
• Final judgment a complete win against Argentina of $16 billion, at the high end of the possible range of damages
• Argentina has appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals; oral argument has been tentatively set for the week of October 27, 2025
• Fair value of YPF-related assets of $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2025
• Among other enforcement actions globally, on June 30, 2025, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered 
Argentina to turn over its Class D shares of YPF to partially satisfy the judgment; that order is also currently under appeal to the Second 
Circuit Court of Appeals

Principal Finance Segment
1) While Burford offers in this Presentation its views and interpretation of the ruling, those are qualified in their entirety by the actual text of the ruling, and we caution that investors cannot rely on Burford’s statements in preference to the 
actual ruling. In the event of any inconsistency between this Presentation and the text of the actual ruling, the text of the actual ruling will prevail and be dispositive. Burford disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any 
obligation to update its views and interpretation as the litigation proceeds. Moreover, the case remains in active litigation, and the Republic of Argentina filed a notice of appeal in October 2023 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 
Second Circuit; all litigation carries significant risks of uncertainty and unpredictability until final resolution, including the risk of total loss. Finally, Burford is and will continue to be constrained by legal privilege and client confidences in 
terms of the scope of its ability to speak publicly about the case or the ruling. Burford also cautions that there are meaningful remaining risks in the case, including appeals, enforcement and collateral litigation in other jurisdictions. 
Moreover, litigation matters often resolve for considerably less than the amount of any judgment rendered by the courts and to the extent that any settlement or resolution discussions occur in this case no public communication about 
those discussions will be possible until their conclusion.
2) In both Petersen and Eton Park, these numbers are approximations and will vary somewhat depending on the ultimate level of case costs by the end of the case, as we expect continued significant spending on the case.

Operating expense detail
Total Segments (Burford-only)
($ in millions)
• The quarter and YTD increases in 
operating expenses are predominantly 
attributable to variable non-cash 
drivers of compensation and benefits
• In 2Q25, the impact of the increase in 
Burford’s share price and other 
market indices on the deferred 
compensation plan, which is hedged 
elsewhere, drove most of the $8 
million increase in compensation and 
benefits compared to 2Q24
• In YTD25, higher capital provision 
income also drove an increase of $5 
million in long-term incentive 
compensation accrual compared to 
YTD24, which will only be paid when 
the associated revenue is realized
• G&A expenses have normalized 
downward in 2Q25, following some 
non-recurring impact in 1Q25, to align 
with the $7-8 million quarterly 
average incurred in 2024

as of December 31, 2024
• Balance sheet results as of June 30, 
2025 do not include the impact of two 
key items which are highlighted on a 
pro forma basis:
− Issuance of $500 million of 7.50% Senior 
Notes due 2033 in July 2025
− Scheduled redemption at scheduled 
maturity of bonds due August 2025
• WAL of outstanding debt is 5.2 years 
on a pro forma basis, compared to 2.6 
years for our concluded and partially 
concluded portfolio track record, and 
3.3 years for active deployments as of 
June 30, 2025 
• Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to 
net tangible equity remains consistent 
and well within our covenant 
thresholds on an actual basis and pro 
forma basis for the new issuance and 
scheduled redemption 26
NOTE: Pro forma figures shown for June 30, 2025 adjusted to reflect the new issuance of $500 million of 7.50% Senior Notes due 2033 completed on July 11, 2025, as well as the redemption 
at scheduled maturity of the bonds due 2025 expected to be completed on August 12, 2025.
1) Weighted by realizations as of June 30, 2025.
2) Redemption at scheduled maturity of the bonds due 2025 is expected to be completed on August 12, 2025, using proceeds raised in July 2025 from the offering of the 7.50% Senior Notes 
due 2033.
3) Sterling denominated debt converted to US Dollars using exchange rate of $1.3717 as of June 30, 2025.
4) Issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.50% Senior Notes due 2033 was completed on July 11, 2025 and shown here on a pro forma basis.

portfolio

There is tangible progress in the legal process around YPF-related assets 
• Oral argument for the main appeal tentatively set for week of October 27, 2025

Our ready access to capital is a strong competitive moat that positions 
Burford for success

    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.
* 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. Cash receipts are a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP. The most directly 
comparable measure calculated in accordance with US GAAP is proceeds from capital provision assets as set forth in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

* Tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited is calculated by subtracting intangible assets (such as goodwill) from total Burford Capital Limited equity. Tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited 
per ordinary share is calculated by dividing tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited by the total number of outstanding ordinary shares. Each of tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited and 
tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in

    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 funded 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 includes the management of 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, which adds to our deployed cost in such asset.

    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 which refers to the totality of assets managed by us, which includes assets financed by our balance sheet through our Principal Finance segment and assets financed by third-party capital 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 values of capital provision assets and the undrawn commitments.
Principal Finance segment
One of our two reportable segments. Principal Finance 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 Burford.
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.

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.

    • 2. Notice & disclaimer This presentation (this “Presentation”) provides certain information to facilitate review and understanding of the business, financial condition and results of operations of Burford Capital Limited (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Burford”, “we”, “our” or “us”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and does not purport to be a complete description of the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025. 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, 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 under the Company’s control 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) competitive factors and demand for the Company’s services and capital; (xi) failure of lawyers to prosecute and/or defend claims which the Company has financed with necessary skill and care or misalignment of their clients’ interests with the Company’s; (xii) poor performance by the commitments the Company makes on behalf of its private funds; (xiii) negative publicity or public perception of the legal finance industry or the Company; (xiv) valuation uncertainty with respect to the fair value of the Company’s capital provision assets; (xv) current and future legal, political and economic factors, including uncertainty surrounding the effects, severity and duration of public health threats and/or military actions; (xvi) developments in AI technologies and expectations relating to environmental, social and governance considerations; (xvii) potential liability from litigation and legal proceedings against the Company; (xviii) the Company’s ability to hire and retain key personnel; (xix) 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; (xx) exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; (xxi) uncertainty relating to the tax treatment of the Company’s financing arrangements; (xxii) cybersecurity risks and improper functioning of the Company’s information systems or those of its third-party service providers; (xxiii) failure of the Company’s third-party service providers to fulfill their obligations or misconduct by its third-party service providers; (xxiv) failure by the Company to maintain the privacy and security of personal information and comply with applicable data privacy and protection laws and regulations; (xxv) failure by the Company to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures; (xxvi) failure by the Company to comply with the requirements of being a US domestic public company and the costs associated therewith; and (xxvii) 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 forwardlooking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forwardlooking 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.
    • 3. Notice & disclaimer 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 cash receipts, tangible book value attributable to Burford Capital Limited per ordinary share (“TBVPS”) and various indebtedness leverage ratios. The Company believes that (i) 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 and (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. 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 nonGAAP financial measures and KPIs, their respective definitions and calculations and related reconciliations are provided in “Other Reconciliations” and “Glossary” sections of this Presentation. * * * * * The Company makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the fairness, accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of the information contained in this Presentation, including information obtained from third parties. Unless otherwise specified, information contained in this Presentation is sourced from and reflects the views and opinions of the Company.

We remain well-positioned to monetize YPF-related assets 19 • We believe YPF-related assets will ultimately deliver a ten-figure recovery for Burford, but litigation risk remains • Final judgment a complete win against Argentina of $16 billion, at the high end of the possible range of damages • Argentina has appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals; oral argument has been tentatively set for the week of October 27, 2025 • Fair value of YPF-related assets of $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2025 • Among other enforcement actions globally, on June 30, 2025, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered Argentina to turn over its Class D shares of YPF to partially satisfy the judgment; that order is also currently under appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals YPF CASES’ PROCESS 1 Expected Burford-only net entitlement2 Around 35% of proceeds from Petersen case Around 82% of proceeds from Eton Park case ENFORCEMENT PROCESS September 15, 2023 FINAL JUDGMENT APPEAL BY ARGENTINA Principal Finance Segment 1) While Burford offers in this Presentation its views and interpretation of the ruling, those are qualified in their entirety by the actual text of the ruling, and we caution that investors cannot rely on Burford’s statements in preference to the actual ruling. In the event of any inconsistency between this Presentation and the text of the actual ruling, the text of the actual ruling will prevail and be dispositive. Burford disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any obligation to update its views and interpretation as the litigation proceeds. Moreover, the case remains in active litigation, and the Republic of Argentina filed a notice of appeal in October 2023 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; all litigation carries significant risks of uncertainty and unpredictability until final resolution, including the risk of total loss. Finally, Burford is and will continue to be constrained by legal privilege and client confidences in terms of the scope of its ability to speak publicly about the case or the ruling. Burford also cautions that there are meaningful remaining risks in the case, including appeals, enforcement and collateral litigation in other jurisdictions. Moreover, litigation matters often resolve for considerably less than the amount of any judgment rendered by the courts and to the extent that any settlement or resolution discussions occur in this case no public communication about those discussions will be possible until their conclusion. 2) In both Petersen and Eton Park, these numbers are approximations and will vary somewhat depending on the ultimate level of case costs by the end of the case, as we expect continued significant spending on the case.

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. Cash receipts are a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP.

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, which adds to our deployed cost in such asset. Glossary 44
    • 45. 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 which refers to the totality of assets managed by us, which includes assets financed by our balance sheet through our Principal Finance segment and assets financed by third-party capital 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 values of capital provision assets and the undrawn commitments. Principal Finance segment One of our two reportable segments. Principal Finance 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 Burford. 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) 45
    • 46. Glossary (continued) 46 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.
