Burford Capital Updates Taction Case, Potential Damages of $5.7 Billion

Burford Capital (BUR) provides an update on a portfolio matter. "After the market close on Friday, September 25, 2026, a jury in a case in which Burford has a financial entitlement awarded $5.7 billion in damages to the plaintiff. That amount is likely to be altered in post-trial and/or appellate proceedings, but if the verdict amount were paid, as is, Burford's entitlement would be $1.4 billion, split roughly equally between Burford's balance sheet and its investment funds. Burford has elected to issue this release given media coverage of this matter that has already occurred. Investors should not view this release as altering Burford's general approach to public disclosure of individual matters. It has been publicly reported that the verdict, in a case captioned Taction Technology, Inc. v. Apple Inc. (AAPL), represents one of the largest patent verdicts in U.S. history. It is important to view the verdict through the lens of the patent litigation process. This includes post-trial proceedings that have yet to occur (including a motion by Apple for judgment as a matter of law-in other words, asking the trial court to set aside the jury's verdict) and significant appellate scrutiny of large verdicts by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Indeed, very few large patent verdicts survive the post-verdict process intact, and that process will unfold over a considerable period of time. The issuance of the jury verdict does not represent a final judgment or cash proceeds received by Burford. The case remains subject to significant litigation and collection risks, including potential post-trial and appellate proceedings, as well as enforcement, collection and collateral litigation in other jurisdictions. As with all litigation, the outcome remains uncertain until final resolution, and there can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any ultimate recovery. Depending on the outcome of such proceedings, Burford could recover substantially less than the amount set forth above or, in certain circumstances, incur a total loss. Litigation matters also frequently resolve for amounts materially below the amount of a verdict or judgment, and the parties could agree to resolve this matter for considerably less than the amount of the verdict. Burford's ultimate entitlement, if any, will also depend on the terms of its financing agreement and applicable fees, expenses, taxes and other deductions. In addition, if settlement or other resolution discussions occur, Burford may be unable to comment publicly on those discussions until their conclusion. Burford disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any obligation to update its statements regarding this matter as the proceedings continue."
