FAQ
What insider transactions did Burford Capital (BUR) report for its CFO?
Burford Capital’s CFO Jordan David Licht reported vesting of RSUs and performance-based RSUs into Ordinary Shares, plus share withholding for taxes. These were compensation-related equity settlements, not open-market stock purchases or sales, reflecting routine conversion of prior awards into common shares.
What does the 77% PSU vesting level mean for Burford Capital’s CFO?
The CFO’s performance-based RSUs vested at 77% of their target level after certification of financial performance metrics. This means only 77% of the original target PSU award converted into Ordinary Shares, directly linking realized equity compensation to measured company performance outcomes.
Are these Burford Capital CFO transactions considered insider buying or selling?
These transactions are primarily equity award vesting and related tax withholding, not classic insider buying or selling. Shares were acquired through derivative exercises of RSUs and PSUs, while a portion was disposed of automatically to cover tax liabilities via net settlement, a routine compensation mechanism.
