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.
