Notice and 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 months ended March 31, 2026 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 months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. 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, including statements with respect to the Company’s expectations regarding the performance of its business and legal finance assets and other nonhistorical statements, as well as the Company’s target metrics and projections, such as modeled realizations and modeled return on invested capital (“ROIC”), 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, intellectual property or litigation or business strategy 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 who prosecute and/or defend claims that the Company has financed to exercise due skill and care or the misalignment of their interests or those of their clients with the Company’s; (xii) poor performance by the commitments the Company makes on behalf of its private funds; (xiii) negative publicity about 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) information systems risks or 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 forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking 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, such as modeled realizations and modeled ROIC, 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 and disclaimer (continued) Estimates and Assumptions. This Presentation includes certain unaudited financial and business projections, targets and goals with respect to the Company’s future outlook (collectively, the “Estimates”). The Estimates reflect subjective judgment in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, the Estimates constitute forward-looking information and are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results forecasted in these projections, targets or goals. There can be no assurance that the Estimates will be realized or that actual results will not be materially higher or lower than forecast. The Estimates cannot, therefore, be considered a guarantee of future results of operations, and this information should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives considered or considers the Estimates to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the Estimates should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by the Company that its management views the Estimates as material information. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives has made or makes any representation to any of the Company’s shareholders or any other person regarding the ultimate performance of the Company compared to the information contained in the Estimates or can give any assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Estimates. Certain of the projected financial information in this Presentation may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. 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 (as defined below), and non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. No reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the Estimates to measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP was created or used in connection with preparing the Estimates. In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the Estimates, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Estimates. THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE OR RECONCILE THE ESTIMATES TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AFTER THE DATE THE ESTIMATES WERE GENERATED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE ESTIMATES ARE NO LONGER APPROPRIATE OR ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 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 non-GAAP 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 1Q26 Financial Results “Burford has a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of litigation assets delivering substantial cash returns and the market- leading origination engine. Burford’s business is robust. We have ample liquidity, with more than $700 million of cash on hand, and have sight of around $280 million1 in cash so far this year from the portfolio. While the YPF loss was disappointing and caused a very large non-cash charge to our quarterly earnings, there is no cash impact from that loss. Indeed, if YPF never pays another cent, we will still have generated $236 million in cash proceeds and more than $100 million in profit from the case – and we are optimistic about a positive arbitration outcome.” Christopher Bogart Chief Executive Officer Conference Call Burford will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 8.00am EDT / 1.00pm BST on Friday, May 8, 2026.

Key messages 8 We will continue to pursue a recovery for claimants from the YPF-related assets and we believe these assets retain meaningful option value to Burford, but a substantial write-down following the appeal ruling is the dominant driver of 1Q26 results 1 2 3 4 5 The current portfolio is positioned for higher levels of cash generation in the coming years Burford has a powerful core business model driven by a large and diversified existing portfolio and market-leading origination engine Liquidity is healthy and strong cash generation positions us to operate normally at these higher levels of leverage Our growth ambitions to double the portfolio base by 2030 are unchanged, and we believe we can achieve this as we reduce leverage over time
