Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents an award of restricted share units ("RSUs") granted on March 22, 2023 that vested in full on August 12, 2025, due to the reporting person becoming retirement eligible under Burford Capital Limited's retirement policy in effect from time to time, with settlement to occur in the form of Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one-basis on the third anniversary of the grant date in accordance with the ordinary vesting schedule.

2. Represents Ordinary Shares held by Elizabeth O'Connell Revocable Trust, of which the reporting person serves as a sole trustee and is a beneficiary.

3. Represents vesting of an award of performance-based RSUs ("PSUs") granted on March 22, 2023 that vested at 77% of target level upon certification of achievement of the financial performance metrics. Each PSU converts into an Ordinary Share on a one-for-one basis.

4. Represents satisfaction of tax withholding obligations by net settlement of Ordinary Shares upon vesting of RSUs and PSUs.

5. The transactions reported in this Form 4 do not include transactions reported separately by Christopher Bogart, the reporting person's spouse, who is also an executive officer of Burford Capital Limited.

6. Represents one-third of an award of RSUs granted on March 13, 2025 that vested in full on August 12, 2025, due to the reporting person becoming retirement eligible under Burford Capital Limited's retirement policy in effect from time to time, with settlement to occur in the form of Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one-basis on March 22, 2026 in accordance with the ordinary vesting schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reporting person has elected to defer receipt of 100% of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon the scheduled vesting date of the RSUs pursuant to the Burford Capital Deferred Compensation Plan (the "NQDC Plan"), resulting in the reporting person's receipt of 3,791 phantom RSUs ("Phantom RSUs").

7. Represents the conversion of 3,791 RSUs into Phantom RSUs, on a one-for-one basis, under the NQDC Plan. Each Phantom RSU represents a contingent right to receive the economic equivalent of one Ordinary Share, which may be paid in cash or settled in an Ordinary Share in accordance with the terms of the NQDC Plan.
