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 is not, and should not be construed
as, an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities (including, without limitation, interests or shares in
any of Burford private funds). Any such offer or solicitation may
be made only by means of a final confidential private placement

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, 2022 filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2023 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.
