Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l. (the “Borrower”) and its subsidiary guarantors, have been in discussions with certain holders (the “Applicable Term Loan Lenders”) of term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) under its existing credit agreement, dated as of April 3, 2018, and amended as of February 14, 2023, among the Borrower, Altisource, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and the other parties thereto (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), concerning potential financing transactions involving the Company. On December 16, 2024, Altisource and the Borrower, the Applicable Term Loan Lenders and lenders holding approximately 99% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Term Loans entered into a transaction support agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, the “Agreement”) setting forth the principal terms of, among other things, a proposed exchange, amendment and maturity extension transaction of the Company’s Existing Term Loans, subject to certain terms and conditions, negotiation of, agreement upon and execution of definitive agreements, and necessary approvals by the Company’s Board of Directors and its shareholders.
In connection with entering into the Agreement, the Company also executed a commitment letter and term sheet for a $12.5 million super senior credit facility (the “Super Senior Facility”) to fund transaction costs and for general corporate purposes.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Credit Agreement and the Agreement and the commitment letter and term sheet related to the Super Senior Facility.
The Agreement contemplates certain actions, including, among other items:
•the reduction in the Company’s current outstanding debt obligations by an aggregate of $58 million, or 25%, to $172.5 million (upon closing of the Transactions), comprised of (i) an up to $110 million interest-bearing first lien loan (the “New Debt”), (ii) an up to $50 million non-interest-bearing exit fee (the “Exit Fee” and collectively with the New Debt, the “New Facility”) associated with the New Debt to be paid at maturity or any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the New Debt and (iii) the Super Senior Facility, any prepayments of the New Facility are applied on a pro rata basis to the New Debt and the Exit Fee;
•the reduction in the Company’s annual cash and paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest on outstanding debt obligations by approximately $18 million; cash interest reduced by approximately $9 million and PIK interest reduced by approximately $9 million;1
•the extension of maturity obligations by 5 years, with a maturity date under the New Facility of April 30, 2030 (compared to the April 30, 2025 maturity under the Existing Term Loans, with a possible extension by 12 months, subject to certain conditions);
•the interest rate of the New Debt will be the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) + 6.50% with a 3.50% SOFR floor, payable quarterly in cash;
•amortization of 1.0% of the New Debt per year;
•the issuance to lenders under the New Facility of approximately 57.9 million common shares of Altisource, representing 63.5% of the pro forma outstanding shares of Altisource immediately following the Transactions;
•the grant to pre-transaction Altisource shareholders, penny warrant holders and restricted stock unit holders, as of a defined record date preceding the closing of the transactions (the “Stakeholders”) of warrants to purchase approximately 115 million common shares of Altisource at an exercise price of $1.20 per share (the “Stakeholder Warrants”); Stakeholders are expected to receive warrants to purchase approximately 3.25 shares of Altisource common stock for each share of or right to common stock held; 50% of the Stakeholder Warrants shall expire on March 31, 2029 and shall be exercisable by cash settlement through the cash payment to the Company of the exercise price of such Stakeholder Warrant; 50% of the Stakeholder Warrants shall expire on April 30, 2032 and shall be exercisable by net settlement through the forfeiture of shares to the Company equal to the exercise price of such Stakeholder Warrant;
•a minimum of 95% of proceeds the Company receives from the exercise of cash exercise Stakeholder Warrants shall be used to prepay the New Facility; and
•beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the lesser of (a) 75% of the aggregate Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) for the most recently ended fiscal year of the Company for which financial statements have been delivered and (b) such amount which, immediately after giving effect to such repayment, would result in the Company having no less than $30 million of total cash on its balance sheet, shall be applied first to the prepayment of the Super Senior Facility and, second, to the prepayment of the New Facility
1.Reduction in annual cash interest is based on SOFR of 4.36% as of December 12, 2024 and the anticipated outstanding balance on the Existing Term Loans as of December 31, 2024. Reduction in annual PIK interest is based on anticipated PIK interest expense in 2025 under the Existing Term Loans, which includes quarterly compounding of PIK interest. Actual cash interest reduction versus existing loan terms will vary based on actual SOFR rate.
Certain terms of the contemplated Super Senior Facility include, among other things:
•proceeds are expected to be used to fund transaction costs and for general corporate purposes;
•an original issue discount of 10.0%;

•if the closing date of the Super Senior Facility does not occur prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 15, 2025 (the “Deadline”), the commitment letter and term sheet related to the Super Senior Facility will automatically terminate unless such date is extended by mutual written consent of the Company and the commitment parties; and

17.Acknowledgments; Obligations Several. Notwithstanding that this Agreement is being executed by multiple Consenting Term Lenders, the obligations of the Consenting Term Lenders under this Agreement are several and neither joint nor joint and several. No Consenting Term Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations or any breach of any other Consenting Term Lender under this Agreement, and nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Consenting Term Lender pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Consenting Term Lenders as a partnership, an association, or a joint venture of any kind, or create a presumption that the Consenting Term Lenders are in any way acting other than in their individual capacities. None of the Consenting Term Lenders shall have any fiduciary duty or other duties or responsibilities of any kind or form to each other, the Company Parties, or any of the Company’s other lenders or stakeholders as a result of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby. Each Consenting Term Lender acknowledges that no other Consenting Term Lender will be acting as an agent of such Consenting Term Lender in connection with monitoring such Consenting Term Lender’s investment or enforcing its rights under this Agreement, the Definitive Documents, or any other documents to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

Term Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the other Consenting Term Lenders, the Company, and the Company’s Affiliates or the Affiliates of the other Consenting Term Lenders, and the Consenting Term Lenders have no obligation to disclose any such interests to any other Consenting Term Lender, the Company, the Company’s Affiliates, or the Affiliates of any other Consenting Term Lender. Each Consenting Term Lender further acknowledges for the benefit of each of the Company Parties (including for the benefit of any Person acting on behalf of any of the Company Parties, including any financial, legal or other advisor of any of the foregoing) that it has, independently and without reliance upon any statement, representation or warranty made by any Party or Person (or any such other Party’s or Person’s financial, legal or other advisors or representatives), other than those expressly contained in this Agreement, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it has not relied on the credit analysis and decision or due diligence investigation of any other Party or Person (or any such other Party’s or Person’s financial, legal or other advisors or representatives). No securities of the Company are being offered or sold hereby, and this Agreement neither constitutes an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company. The Consenting Term Lenders are not intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be, a “Group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
18.Specific Performance; Damages. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages may be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such actual, alleged, or threatened breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, a court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Party or its representatives be liable to any other Party hereunder for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, including the loss of future revenue or income or opportunity, relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.
19.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law provision that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or proceeding may be brought in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto agrees not to challenge the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit, or proceeding.

EACH PARTY HERETO UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO ABOVE.

Amendment and Extension Term Sheet
This term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) summarizes certain key terms of a potential exchange, amendment, maturity extension and related transactions (the “Transactions”) in respect of Term Loans under the Credit Agreement.2
This term sheet is not intended to be and should not be construed as an offer, a commitment or an agreement to lend, but rather is intended only to be indicative of certain terms and conditions. All terms and conditions contained in this term sheet (including, but not limited to, all economic terms contained herein) are preliminary and are being shared subject to further diligence and internal approvals in all respects. No person or entity shall have any obligation to commence or thereafter continue any negotiations to enter into any definitive, binding agreement with respect to any extension of credit to, or other transaction with, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and no person or entity should rely on an eventual formation of any agreement. This term sheet is nonbinding and is being presented for discussion and settlement purposes and is entitled to protection from any use or disclosure pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and analogous state law. The Transactions are subject to approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., as applicable.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| General Terms |
| Existing Term Loan Lenders | The holders (together with their successors and assigns, the “Existing Term Loan Lenders”) of the outstanding Term Loans under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loans”) immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Date (as defined below). |
| Ad Hoc Group / SteerCo | The group of Existing Term Loan Lenders (or investment advisors or managers acting on behalf of lenders) (the “Ad Hoc Group”) each on behalf of themselves or certain funds, accounts, and other investment vehicles that hold Existing Term Loans. The Steering Committee negotiating this Term Sheet and other documents related hereto shall include UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS”); and Napier Park Global Capital (US) LLP (“Napier”); and Regatta Loan Management LLC (collectively, the “SteerCo”). |
2 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2023 (as amended, supplemented, restated and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Altisource S.À R.L. (the “Borrower”), as borrower, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.

| Consenting Rolling Lenders | The Existing Term Loan Lenders, as designated in the Transaction Support Agreement, that consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth herein (the “Credit Agreement Amendments”) and exchange their Existing Term Loans for extended maturity term loans and Altisource Shares (the “Consenting Rolling Lenders”). | |

The purchase price for such “cash-out” option shall be capped at 30% of the par value of the “cashed-out” Existing Term Loans. If the Company is not able to identify and procure any such third-party new money financing described above (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a New Super Senior Facility) or is unable to reach agreement on terms of a cash out option with the Required Consenting Lenders, then any Consenting Selling Lender shall automatically be deemed to be Consenting Rolling Lenders that are to receive Exchange First Lien Loans on account of their Existing Term Loans as more fully set forth below. | |

| | | | | |
| New Credit Facility |
| Exchange First Lien Loans | On the Transaction Effective Date, the Consenting Rolling Lenders will tender their Existing Term Loans to the Borrower (or any other Company entity as mutually agreed by the Company and the Required Consenting Lenders) in exchange for their pro rata share of (i) new first lien loans (the “Exchange First Lien Loans”) under a new credit agreement (the “Exchange First Lien Loan Credit Agreement”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $110 million (the “Par Value of Exchange First Lien Loans”) and (ii) common stock of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (the “Altisource Shares”) that, in the aggregate, will equal up to 63.50% of the common stock outstanding immediately following the Transaction Effective Date (pro forma for such issuance to Existing Term Loan Lenders and for Management RSUs (as defined below) and assuming the full exercise of the Outstanding Lender Warrants, but excluding any shares of common stock issued prior to the Transaction Effective Date pursuant to a capital raising transaction). The pro rata share of each Consenting Rolling Lender will be calculated as a percentage equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans owned by such Consenting Rolling Lender on the Transaction Effective Date (giving effect to any pending assignments as if such assignments have settled), divided by (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans on the Transaction Effective Date. All accrued and unpaid cash interest on Existing Term Loans that are exchanged shall be paid in full in cash on the Transaction Effective Date. |

| | | | | |
| Exit Premium | The New Credit Agreement shall provide for an Exit Premium (which shall be non-interest-bearing) in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (the “Exit Premium”). The Exit Premium shall be payable (on a ratable basis based on principal amounts of Exchange First Lien Loans prepaid, repaid or accelerated) upon any voluntary or mandatory prepayment (including on the Maturity Date or in connection with any refinancing, exchange, redemption or discharge of the Exchange First Lien Loans) or if all or a portion of the Exchange First Lien Loans are accelerated (or deemed accelerated) for any reason, including because of the occurrence and continuance of any event of default, the commencement of any bankruptcy, examinership, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceeding pursuant to any applicable debtor relief law or in connection with any sale, disposition or encumbrance. Any payment of the Exchange First Lien Loans will first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest and then be applied on a pro rata basis to the Par Value of Exchange First Lien Loans and the Exit Premium (i.e., for each $1.00 prepaid, $0.6875 shall be applied to Par Value of Exchange First Lien Loans and $0.3125 shall be applied to Exit Premium). |
| Ratings | Exchange First Lien Loan Credit Agreement to include covenant that the Company use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain within 30 days from the date of closing of the Transactions (the “Closing Date”), as may be extended subject to the reasonable consent of the Required Consenting Lenders (i) a public corporate family rating issued by Moody’s and a public corporate credit rating issued by S&P and (ii) a public credit rating from each of Moody’s and S&P with respect to the Exchange First Lien Loans. |

The Exchange First Lien Loan Credit Agreement will include a cross-default provision for any failure by the Company to comply in any material respect with any of the material terms of the RRA. The Altisource Shares will be subject to a standard lock-up agreement, subject to customary exceptions, including, but not limited to, for liquidating funds/counts, ending 210 calendar days after the Transaction Effective Date. Lenders holding Altisource Shares shall be required to hold such shares in a manner to not result in Altisource being treated as a “controlled foreign corporation.” |
| Cash Received from the Exercise of Cash Exercise Shareholder Warrants | A minimum of 95% of proceeds the Company receives in connection with the exercise of Cash Exercise Shareholder Warrants shall be used to prepay the Exchange First Lien Loans. |

The Transactions Contemplated by the Agreement Would (a) Reduce the Company’s Current Outstanding Debt Obligations from an aggregate principal amount of $231 Million to, collectively, (i) an up to $110 Million Term Loan, (ii) an up to $50 Million Non-Interest Bearing Exit Fee and (iii) a $12.5 Million Super Senior Credit Facility, (b) Decrease the Company’s Annual Cash and PIK Interest by Approximately $18 million1, (c) Extend the Maturity Date of the Term Loan by Five Years, (d) Grant Equity to Lenders, and (e) Grant Warrants to Shareholders
Luxembourg, December 16, 2024 - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries, today announced that it entered into a binding transaction support agreement (the “Agreement”) with lenders holding approximately 99% of the Company’s term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) that set forth the principal terms of, among other things, a proposed exchange, amendment and maturity extension transaction of the Company’s Existing Term Loans. The Company also executed a commitment letter and term sheet for a $12.5 million super senior credit facility to fund transaction costs and for general corporate purposes. The Company is engaged in outreach with the remaining lenders seeking to obtain their consent to the Agreement.
The key anticipated benefits of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement would be as follows:
•Reduces the Company’s current outstanding debt obligations by an aggregate of $58 million, or 25%, to $172.5 million (at transaction closing), comprised of (i) an up to $110 million interest-bearing first lien loan (the “New Debt”), (ii) an up to $50 million non-interest-bearing exit fee associated with the New Debt to be paid at maturity or any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the New Debt (the “Exit Fee” and collectively with the New Debt, “New Facility”) and (iii) a $12.5 million super senior credit facility (the “Super Senior Facility”); any prepayments of the New Facility are applied on a pro rata basis to the New Debt and the Exit Fee
•Reduces the Company’s annual cash and paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest on outstanding debt obligations by approximately $18 million1; cash interest reduced by approximately $9 million and PIK interest reduced by approximately $9 million1; the interest rate on the New Debt and the Super Senior Facility is SOFR + 6.50% (approximately 10.9% today2); the interest rate on the Existing Term Loans is SOFR + 8.75%
•Extends the maturity date under the New Facility by five years to April 30, 2030 (compared to the April 30, 2025 maturity date under the Existing Term Loans, with a possible extension by 12 months, subject to certain conditions)
•Provides lenders under the New Facility with approximately 57.9 million common shares of Altisource, representing 63.5% of the pro forma outstanding shares of Altisource immediately following the transaction
•Grants pre-transaction Altisource shareholders, penny warrant holders, and restricted stock unit holders, as of a defined record date preceding the closing of the transactions, (the “Stakeholders”) warrants to purchase approximately 115 million common shares of Altisource at an exercise price of $1.20 per share (the “Stakeholder Warrants”), potentially reducing dilution from the common shares to be granted to the lenders under the Agreement; Stakeholders are expected to receive warrants to purchase approximately 3.25 shares of Altisource common stock for each share of or right to common stock held
“I am pleased that we executed the Transaction Support Agreement to exchange, amend and extend our senior secured term loan facility. We have improved Altisource’s Net Cash Used in Operating Activities by more than $55 million since 20213. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement would significantly strengthen Altisource’s balance sheet which, combined with the Company’s improving financial performance, is aimed to stabilize the Company and position it for sustainable long-term growth and value creation,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William B. Shepro.
The transactions described in this press release and contemplated by the Agreement and the Super Senior Facility remain subject to certain terms and conditions, negotiation of, agreement upon and execution of definitive agreements, and Company Board of Directors and shareholder approvals, as necessary.
The Company has also posted a presentation to the Investor Relations section of its website providing additional information.

© 2024 Altisource All Rights Reserved. NON-GAAP MEASURES Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Interest-bearing Net Debt, which are presented elsewhere in this presentation, are non-GAAP measures used by management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information to measure Altisource’s performance and do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) attributable to Altisource and long-term debt as measures of Altisource’s performance. We believe these measures are useful to management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability and cash flow generation more on the basis of continuing cost and cash flows as they exclude amortization expense related to acquisitions that occurred in prior periods and non-cash share-based compensation, as well as the effect of more significant non-operational items from earnings, and cash flows from operating activities. We believe these measures are also useful in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. Furthermore, we believe the exclusion of more significant non-operational items enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis. It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of Altisource’s GAAP financial information, and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. The non-GAAP financial information presented should not be unduly relied upon. These non-GAAP measures are presented as supplemental information and reconciled to the appropriate GAAP measures in the Appendix. 3

ILLUSTRATION – EXERCISE OF STAKEHOLDER WARRANTS1 11 1 The information presented is for illustration purposes only and is based upon certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable as of the date of this presentation. However, these assumptions are inherently subject to change, risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those shown here. The actual performance could be influenced by a variety of factors including, among others, market conditions, operational performance, regulatory changes and unforeseen events. At each Adjusted EBITDA level in each column, it is assumed that the Stakeholder Warrants are exercised at that point in time.
