Insights

Burford Capital's $400M senior notes offering aims to refinance existing debt, potentially improving maturity profile and demonstrating continued market access.

Burford Capital is pursuing a $400 million private offering of senior notes due 2033 through its subsidiary. This represents a significant debt issuance with an 8-year maturity, longer than typical corporate debt horizons. The primary purpose is refinancing, specifically to repay the 6.125% bonds maturing in 2025, with potential additional repayment of 5.000% bonds due 2026.

This refinancing strategy serves multiple objectives. First, it addresses near-term debt maturities, extending Burford's debt profile and reducing immediate refinancing pressures. Second, depending on the interest rate secured on these new notes (not disclosed in the release), this could potentially lower Burford's overall borrowing costs in the current rate environment.

For a litigation finance firm like Burford, maintaining access to capital markets is crucial given the capital-intensive nature of funding legal cases, which can have multi-year durations before producing returns. This successful debt issuance demonstrates continued investor confidence in Burford's business model and creditworthiness.

The private placement structure targeting Qualified Institutional Buyers and Qualified Purchasers indicates Burford is focusing on sophisticated institutional investors rather than retail markets. This approach often allows for more efficient execution and potentially better pricing for the issuer compared to public offerings with broader distribution requirements.

NEW YORK, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Burford Capital Limited ("Burford" or "Burford Capital"), the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, today announcesÌýthe planned private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2033 (the "Notes") by its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Burford Capital Global Finance LLC, subject to market and other conditions. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Burford Capital as well as Burford Capital Finance LLC and Burford Capital PLC, both indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Burford Capital (such guarantees, together with the Notes, the "Securities").

Burford Capital intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities to repay the 6.125% bonds due 2025 of Burford Capital Finance LLC (the "2025 Bonds") at their maturity date and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including the potential repayment or retirement of other existing indebtedness, which may include the 5.000% bonds of Burford Capital PLC due 2026. This release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to, or an offer to purchase, the 2025 Bonds or any other indebtedness.

The Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Securities will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "Qualified Institutional Buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or non-US persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, in each case, who are "Qualified Purchasers" as defined in Section (2)(a)(51)(A) under the US Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
