Notification of transactions by persons discharging managerial
responsibilities
Burford Capital Limited ("Burford"), the leading global finance
and investment management firm focused on law, has been notified of
certain estate planning and charitable giving transactions by
Christopher P. Bogart, Burford's Chief Executive Officer, and
Jonathan Molot, Burford's Chief Investment Officer.
Estate planning
As announced previously, Mr Molot transferred 4,000,000 ordinary
shares in Burford to Jonathan Molot LLC (the "LLC"), a company
which is controlled by Mr Molot. Ongoing annual movement of
ownership interests in the LLC back-and-forth between Mr Molot and
annual trusts established by Mr Molot of which he and his family
members are the beneficiaries is expected as a normal part of the
US estate planning undertaken. A further such movement occurred as
of 15 March 2019 with a 23.19796 % interest in the LLC being
returned to Mr Molot from the Jonathan T. Molot 2017 Trust.
These transfers do not affect the overall interest in shares in
Burford held by Mr Molot and the associated annual trusts.
Charitable giving
Messrs Bogart and Molot have each established US charitable
foundations and have each donated 250,000 ordinary shares in
Burford to their respective foundation; in Mr Bogart's case, those
shares were returned to Mr Bogart from Christopher Bogart LLC
before their gift to the foundation, and in Mr Molot's case, those
shares were held by him personally. The foundations intend to give
that donated stock to various charitable organizations over time,
with a multi-year giving horizon.
The Notification of Dealing Forms for each of the transfers
mentioned above are included at the end of this announcement. These
notifications are provided in accordance with the requirements of
the Market Abuse Regulation.
