HOW OFTEN DOES BURFORD CAPITAL REPORT RESULTS?

The annual report and accounts covering the year ended 31 December each year are made available within four months of that date. In addition, the unaudited interim report and accounts covering the six-month period ended 30 June each year are made available within three months of that date. Burford’s reporting currency is US dollars.

WHAT IS BURFORD CAPITAL’S DIVIDEND POLICY?

The Board recommended that shareholders approve at the annual general meeting a final dividend for 2021 of 6.25¢ per share, payable on June 17, 2022, to shareholders of record on May 27, 2022. Shareholders approved this dividend, and so the total annual dividend for 2021 is 12.5¢ per share. Burford expects to maintain this dividend level going forward and plans to pay one-half of this annual dividend as an interim dividend and one-half as a final dividend. Given the demand for our capital in the legal finance marketplace and the tax inefficiency of dividend payments to US investors, we do not anticipate regular increases in our dividend level, but rather will review dividend levels with shareholders and the Board from time to time.

DOES THE COMPANY HAVE AN EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN?

Yes, the company has a long-term incentive plan designed to align employee incentives with those of shareholders. Details about the plan can be found here. The Compensation Committee determines eligibility for awards and oversees the operation and administration of the plan.
