Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource”, or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l. (the “Borrower”), entered into that certain Transaction Support Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2024 (the “Transaction Support Agreement”), with certain holders of term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) under the existing credit agreement, dated as of April 3, 2018, and amended and restated as of February 9, 2023, among the Borrower, Altisource, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and the other parties thereto (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).
The transactions described below were conducted pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 16, 2024.
Exchange Agreement
On February 19, 2025, Altisource and the Borrower entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with 100% of the lenders under the Prior Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) pursuant to which each of the Lenders (i) contributed to Altisource all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under approximately $72.8 million of the obligations under the Existing Term Loans (“Equity Exchanged Existing Term Loan Obligations”) for its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Existing Term Loans as of February 19, 2025) of 58,167,018 shares of Altisource’s common stock (the “Debt Exchange Shares”), and (ii) contributed to the Borrower all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the obligations under Existing Term Loans other than Equity Exchanged Existing Term Loan Obligations for its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Existing Term Loans as of February 19, 2025) of (A) Exchange First Lien Loans (as defined below), which were issued by the Borrower to such Lenders (or their designated affiliates) on February 19, 2025, in accordance with the Exchange Credit Agreement (as defined below), and (B) $3,048,638.33 in cash on account of all accrued and unpaid cash interest under the Prior Credit Agreement (such transactions, the “Term Loan Exchange Transactions”).
Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, with limited exceptions, the Lenders may not, among other things, sell, offer to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any Debt Exchange Shares, without the prior written consent of Altisource, until the date that is the earlier of (i) September 17, 2025 or (ii) the date on which Altisource completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Altisource’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
The exchange of the Equity Exchanged Term Loan Obligations for the Debt Exchange Shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, as all the Lenders (or their designated affiliates) were “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act) and there was no general solicitation with respect to the Term Loan Exchange Transactions.
The Exchange Agreement also contains mutual releases and customary representations and warranties. In addition, Altisource is required to pay the fees and expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of Exchange Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Exchange First Lien Credit Agreement
As part of the Term Loan Exchange Transactions, on February 19, 2025, Altisource, the Borrower and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Altisource (Altisource and such subsidiaries, collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into an exchange first lien loan credit agreement (the “Exchange Credit Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the Lenders. Under the Exchange Credit Agreement, the Borrower borrowed first lien term loans (the “Exchange First Lien Facility”) comprised of a $110 million interest-bearing first lien loan (the “Exchange Term B Loans”) and a $50 million non-interest-bearing exit fee (the “Exit Fee”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Exchange Credit Agreement.
The following is a summary of certain key terms of the Exchange Credit Agreement:
•$158.6 million of the Exchange First Lien Facility matures on April 30, 2030 and $1.4 million of the Exchange First Lien Facility matures on January 15, 2029;
•The interest rate on the Exchange Term B Loans is Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 6.50% per annum with a 3.50% SOFR floor;
•The interest rate on the Exit Fee is 0%;

•All mandatory and voluntary prepayments under the Exchange Credit Agreement are allocated between the Exchange Term B Loans and the Exit Fee on a pro rata basis;
•The principal amortization of the Exchange First Lien Facility is 1.0% of the Exchange Term B Loans per year;

•Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the lesser of (a) 75% of the aggregate Excess Cash Flow for the most recently ended fiscal year of the Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered and (b) such amount which, immediately after giving effect to such repayment, would result in the Borrower and its subsidiaries having no less than $30 million of cash, shall be applied first to the prepayment of the Super Senior Facility and, second, to the prepayment of the Exchange First Lien Facility.
The payment of all amounts owing by the Borrower under the Exchange Credit Agreement is guaranteed by Altisource and the other Guarantors and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Altisource and the other Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The liens securing the Exchange First Lien Facility are junior to the liens securing the Super Senior Facility pursuant to, and as set forth in, the Super Senior Intercreditor Agreement.

The Exchange Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of the term loans, subject to customary exceptions, as follows: (i) 100% of the proceeds of any other debt not permitted by the Exchange Credit Agreement, (ii) 95% of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants, (iii) 100% of the proceeds of Asset Sales, subject to customary reinvestment rights for net proceeds of less than $3 million and certain exceptions, where applicable, (iv) 100% of insurance or condemnation proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all losses in any fiscal year, subject to customary reinvestment rights, where applicable, and (v) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the lesser of (a) 75% of the aggregate Excess Cash Flow for the most recently ended fiscal year of the Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered and (b) such amount which, immediately after giving effect to such repayment, would result in the Borrower and its subsidiaries having no less than $30 million of cash.

If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the Exchange Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Credit Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Exchange Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
