Burford Capital's Recent Private Offering of Senior Secured Notes: Key Highlights
Burford Capital Announces Key Financial Move
Burford Capital Limited, a prominent player in global finance and asset management within the legal sector, has revealed the pricing of its private offering of senior secured notes. This offering amounts to an aggregate principal of $300 million with an interest rate of 8.000% and a due date set for 2029.
The notes will be issued by Burford Capital Global Finance LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Burford Capital. These securities are set to be guaranteed by Burford Capital itself and will be secured by a senior lien against nearly all assets of the subsidiary. This includes the capital stocks of certain Burford Capital subsidiaries, although certain exceptions will apply. The closing of this offering is anticipated on September 17, 2026, pending standard closing conditions.
The decisions behind this financial strategy are significant. With the net proceeds from this offering, along with available cash, Burford Capital plans to redeem its existing 6.250% senior notes due in 2028 immediately following the closure of this recent venture. It's important to note that this announcement does not serve as a notice to redeem or an offer to purchase the 2028 notes or any other form of indebtedness.
