Company Moves Forward with Restructure of Lending Operations

Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AAMC) announces the resignation of Chief Executive Officer, Jason Kopcak.

“We remain committed to the mortgage space,” said Chairman of the Board Ricardo Byrd. “As the Board considers potential replacements, we have appointed Danya Sawyer, Chief Operating Officer of Alternative Lending Group, the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, to serve as Interim CEO of AAMC.”

Significant Progress on Cost Cutting Initiatives and Enhancing Liquidity

As announced during the Company’s recent Earnings Call, the Board mandated a comprehensive review of the Company’s mortgage platform to improve the performance of the business. This review involved assessments of operational efficiency and capacity issues, opportunities for cost reductions, strategies for improving liquidity, among other initiatives, all with a view toward enhancing financial performance. While improvements continue, this review is now completed. The Company has already made significant progress in reducing costs and streamlining operations, including the following (all amounts disclosed below are as of August 25, 2023):

  • An across-the-board employee right-sizing, considerably reducing annual payroll costs
  • Shuttering the Tampa facility and absorbing functions previously undertaken at that location into operating subsidiaries
  • Aggressively reducing expenditures for third-party professional services
  • Reducing reliance on short-term lines of credit
  • Cash and cash equivalents at the company are currently $16.5 million
  • Credit lines have been reduced to $20.2 million
  • The current loan portfolio consists of $37.1 million in unpaid principal balance

“Our restructuring and cost reduction efforts are well underway,” Chairman Byrd explained. “These are pivotal steps forward which we believe will facilitate a sustainable mortgage operation.”
