Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services and sales of short-term investments in real estate (wound down in 2019).services. Reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests are pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One. Lenders One is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. The Lenders One members’ earnings are included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource.

During the year ended December 31, 2020,2023, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 54%44% of our total revenue. Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services from us under the terms of services agreements and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ocwen Services Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025.2030. Certain of the Ocwen Services Agreements contain a “most favored nation” provision and also grant the parties the right to renegotiate pricing, among other things.

Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned from the loan portfolios serviced and subserviced by Ocwen when Ocwen engages us as the service provider, and revenue earned directly from Ocwen, pursuant to the Ocwen Services Agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 20192023 and 2018,2022, we recognized revenue from Ocwen of $197.8 million, $362.7$63.2 million and $437.4$63.5 million, respectively. Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of segment and consolidated revenue was 54%, 56% and 52% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.as follows:

We earn additional revenue related to the portfolios serviced and subserviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSRMSRs owner selects Altisource as the service provider. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 20192023 and 2018,2022, we recognized revenue of $23.8 million, $37.5$9.2 million and $47.1$9.5 million, respectively, related to the portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider.of such revenue. These amounts are not included in deriving revenue from Ocwen and revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue discussed above.

Our enterpriseWe believe our sales and marketing team has extensive relationship management and industry experience. These individuals cultivate and maintain relationships throughout the industry sectors we serve. We sell our suite of services to mortgage servicers, mortgage originators, GSEs, buyers and sellers of homes for investment use and financial services firms.

Our primary sales and marketing focus areas are to:

We rely on a combination of contractual restrictions, internal security practices, patents, trademarks and copyrights to establish and protect our trade secrets, intellectual property, software, technology and expertise. We also own or, as we deem necessary and appropriate, have obtained licenses from third parties to intellectual property relating to our services, processes and businesses. These intellectual property rights are important factors in the success of our businesses.

We actively protect our rights and intend to continue our policy of taking the measures we deem reasonable and necessary to develop and protect our patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.

In addition, we may make use of data in connection with certain of our services. This data generally relates to mortgage information, real property information and consumer information. We gather this data from a variety of third party sources, including from governmental entities and, subject to licensed usage rights, we use this data in connection with the delivery of

certain of our services, including combining it with proprietary data we generate to further enhance data and metrics in connection with our services.

We sell our suite of services to mortgage servicers, mortgage originators, GSEs, buyers and sellers of homes for investment use and financial services firms. The mortgage and real estate markets are very large and are influenced by macroeconomic factors such as credit availability, interest rates, home prices, inflation, unemployment rates, consumer confidence, natural disasters and in 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic.pandemics, and responses to such factors.

The markets to providefor services forprovided to mortgage servicers and mortgage originators are highly competitive and generally consist of national companies, in-house providers and a large number of regional and local providers. We typically compete based upon product and service awareness and offerings, product performance and service delivery, quality and control environment, technology integration and support, national coverage, price, financial strength, reputation and financial strength.customer service.

The markets to providefor services forprovided to buyers and sellers of homeshome for investment are highly competitive and generally consist of several national companies, a large number of regional and local providers and start-up companies. We typically compete based upon product and service awareness and offerings, product performance and service delivery, national coverage, ease of transacting, price, quality and control environment, technology integration and support, customer service and personal service.

Our competitors may have greater financial resources, brand recognition, alternative or disruptive products and technology and other competitive advantages. We cannot determine our market share with certainty, but believe for mortgage servicers we have a modest share of the market, and for the others we have a relatively small market share.

On February 9, 2023, we executed Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to our clients. We consider our diverse workforce as a key differentiator for our business. the Credit Agreement effective February 14, 2023 (as amended by the Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The following sections describe someis a summary of certain key terms of the key elementsSecond Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement.

On February 9, 2023, we employed 2,726 employees across four continents:

Certain of our revenues can be impacted by seasonality. More specifically, revenues from property sales, loan originations and certain property preservation services in Field Services typically tend to be at their lowest level during the fall and winter months and at their highest level during the spring and summer months.

Our business and the business of our customers are or may be subject to extensive scrutiny and regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities including the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”),CFPB, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), the Treasury Department, various federal and state banking, financial and consumer regulators and the state and local agencies that license or oversee certain of our auction, real estate brokerage, title insurance agency, appraisal management, valuation, property preservation and inspection, mortgage and debt collection, services, trustee, services, mortgage origination underwriter and broker, services, property and asset management, servicesinsurance and insurancecredit report reselling services. We also must comply with a number of federal, state and local laws, which may include, among others:

We are also subject to the requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and comparable foreign laws due to our activities in foreign jurisdictions.

In addition to federal and state laws regarding privacy and data security, we are also subject to data protection laws in the countries in which we operate. Additionally, certain of our entities are or may be subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Legal requirements can and do change as statutes and regulations are enacted, promulgated or amended. One such enacted regulation is the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act is extensive and includes reform of the regulation and supervision of financial institutions, as well as the regulation of derivatives, capital market activities and consumer financial services. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, created the CFPB, a

federal entity responsible for regulating consumer financial services and products. Title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Act contains the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (“Mortgage Act”). The Mortgage Act imposes a number of additional requirements on lenders and servicers of residential mortgage loans by amending and expanding certain existing regulations. The interpretation or enforcement by regulatory authorities of applicable laws and regulations also may change over time. In addition, the creation of new regulatory authorities or changes in the regulatory authorities overseeing applicable laws and regulations may also result in changing interpretation or enforcement of such laws or regulations.

Our failure or the failure of our customers or vendors to comply with applicable laws or regulations or changing interpretation of such laws or regulations could subject the Company to criminal or civil liability, significant penalties, fines, settlements, costs and consent orders affecting us or our customers that may curtail or restrict the business as it is currently conducted and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

We may beare subject to licensing and regulation as a provider of certain services including, among others, services as aauction, real estate brokerage, title insurance agency, appraisal management, valuation, property preservation and inspection, mortgage and debt collection, trustee, mortgage origination underwriter mortgageand broker, valuation provider, appraisalproperty and asset management, company, asset manager, property inspectioninsurance and preservation provider, title insurance agent, insurance broker and underwriter, real estate broker, auctioneer and foreclosure trusteecredit report reselling services in a number of jurisdictions. Our employees and subsidiaries may be required to be licensed by or registered with various jurisdictions for the particular type of service sold or provided and to participate in regular continuing education programs. Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by federal, state and local governmental authorities and receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from such governmental authorities in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. Due to the inherent uncertainty of such actions, it is often difficult to predict the potential outcome or estimate any potential financial impact in connection with any such inquiries.

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below address the most materials risks, of which we are currently aware but are not the only ones we face. Therefore, the following risk factors should not be considered a complete list of potential risks that we may face.

Any risk factor described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any of our other SEC filings, or any risk not currently known to us or that we currently anticipate to be immaterial may, by itself, or together with other factors, materially adversely affect our business, reputation, prospects, competitive position, liquidity, results of operations, capital position or financial condition, including by materially increasing our expenses or decreasing our revenues or profits, which could result in material losses. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

While insurance coverage may be applicable to help address certain risks that may crystalize,result in losses, recovery pursuant to our insurance policies may not be available, and available insurance may be insufficient to compensate for damages, expenses, fines, penalties, and other losses we may incur as a result of these and other risks.

In this ITEM 1A, unless the context otherwise clearly indicates, references to our “services” include any services, products or solutions provided, or made available, by us.

Actions taken by federal, state and local governments, GSEs and mortgage servicers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to prevent its spread. The COVID-19 pandemic continuescontinue to have a profound impact on our business, our customers, and the industries in which we operate,operate. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020, various governmental entities and servicers implemented unprecedented foreclosure and eviction moratoriums, forbearance programs and loss mitigation measures to help mitigate the impact to borrowers and renters (collectively, “Relief Measures”). The Federal government’s foreclosure moratorium expired on July 1, 2021 and the societiesCFPB’s temporary loss mitigation measures expired on December 31, 2021. Despite the expiration of

these and economiescertain other governmental measures, we believe servicers are proceeding slowly with foreclosure initiations for borrowers in which we conductdefault. Industrywide foreclosure starts were 4% lower in 2023 compared to 2022, and 31% lower than the same pre-COVID-19 period in 2019. The average length of time loans in foreclosure have been delinquent extended to 34 months in 2023 from 29 months in 2019.

Industrywide foreclosure sales were 8% higher in 2023 compared to 2022, and 46% lower than the same pre-COVID-19 period in 2019. Foreclosure sales as a percentage of foreclosure inventory has declined to 37% in 2023 from 51% in 2019. The decline in foreclosure initiations and foreclosure sales throughout the pandemic, partially offset by the restart of the default market, significantly decreased default related referrals to us and continues to negatively impact virtually all of our business and operations. default related services revenue.

We anticipate that we will continue to experience thesignificant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through at leastRelief Measures and cannot predict when those impacts may begin to abate. Based on the 2021 calendar yearexpirations of certain Relief Measures, we believe the demand for our Default business will grow, but our estimate may not be correct and beyond.is subject to macro and micro economic factors that could negatively impact us. We estimate that in today’s environment it typically takes on average two years to convert foreclosure initiations to foreclosure sales and six months to market and sell the REO, but multiple factors could impact this estimate. The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental, mortgage servicer, mortgage investorRelief Measures and societal responses will depend on future developments including the duration and severity of the pandemic, which remain highly uncertain. As a result, it is difficult to predict the impact on our business. Further, as a resultbusiness and the timing for the recovery of interruptions caused by the pandemic and responses to the pandemic by our customers’, various governmental bodies and mortgage investors:

Volatile or uncertain economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic orand its consequences, as well as governmental fiscal policies and other relevant economic conditions, have and may continue to affect our customers and the markets we serve, causing customers to reduce, defer or eliminate spending on our services.

The majorityA significant portion of our revenue is earned from providing services to Ocwen and NRZ.Rithm. If either party substantially reduces the scope or volume of services acquired from us, or otherwise ceases using us as a vendor, it would negatively impact our business. For example, we could experience a reduction in scope or volume of business as a direct or indirect result of the existence or outcome of regulatory matters impacting one or more of these clients, a change in the servicing relationship between these clients, a reduction in the MSRs for which Ocwen or Rithm acts as a servicer or subservicer or controls the rights to designate service providers, or a change in the contractual relationship between Altisource and Ocwen or Rithm. In addition, providing services to these customers affords us the opportunity to provide certain services to third parties.parties and the loss of these customers or reduction in the quantity of services provided to these customers would also result in the loss or reduction of these additional revenue streams. For example, we may have the opportunity to earn commissions or fees from, or we may be able to provide on-line auction services, title insurance and escrow services, or other services to, buyers on certain real estate transactions, and the loss or reduction in the number of these customers would also result in the loss ofprevent us from offering these additional revenue streams.

If the characteristics of the portfolios of properties on which we provide services for either of these customers were to significantly change, for example to become less delinquent, more rural or lower value, this could impact the type and volume of services that we provide, increase our costs of doing business, or reduce the value of commissions or fees we earn.

Our business concentration or relationships with these two customers may be viewed as a risk or otherwise negatively by other customers or potential customers, impeding our efforts to retain customers or obtain new customers.

Governmental, GSE, servicer or investor actions or action by others that restrict online real estate auctions (foreclosure and REO), reduce the permissible fees or direct the use of auction providers other than us, could negatively impact demand for our auction marketplace, real estate brokerage and related services, and negatively impact our ability to meet certain contractual performance metrics, including those related to aging of assets, time on market and sale price compared to valuation. If we fail to satisfy applicable performance metrics or perform in a manner satisfactory to our customers, such customers may reduce the services they acquire from us or otherwise terminate us as a provider.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into the Brokerage Agreement with NRZRithm which extends through August 2025.2025 (“Brokerage Agreement”). Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource is the exclusive provider (with certain exceptions) of brokerage services for REO associated with the certain MSRs,MSR through August 2025, irrespective of the subservicer, as long as NRZRithm owns such MSRs. The Brokerage Agreement may be terminated by NRZRithm upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ,Rithm, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control. Rithm could decide to not renew or extend the term of the Brokerage Agreement upon its termination in August 2025, in which case Rithm may elect to use a brokerage service provider other than the Altisource subsidiaries for some or all of its REO. If any one of these termination events occurs and the Brokerage Agreement is terminated this could have an adverse impact onor if the Brokerage Agreement is not renewed or extended, Altisource’s business and results of operations.operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, NRZRithm operational changes, breach of the Brokerage Agreement or other actions that reduce the number of properties converting to REO status could: (i) reduce the volume of services that we provide on the applicable MSRs pursuant to our agreements with Ocwen, and (ii) reduce the volume of services that we provide pursuant to the Brokerage Agreement.

Many of our services and processes require effective interoperation with internal and external technology platforms and services, and failures in such interoperation could have a negative impact on our operations and the operations of our customers.

Further, our customers may require changes and improvements to the systems we provide to them to manage the volume and complexity, laws or regulations of their businesses, or to interoperate with other systems, which changes and improvements may be unfeasible, unsuccessful, costly or time-consuming to implement or may create disruptions in our provision of services to customers. Our customers may refuse to agree to modifications to technology or infrastructure that we provide to them or that interoperate with the technology or infrastructure we provide to them that we may believe are desirable to improve the reliability, performance, efficiency and/or cost in delivering. Additionally, the improper implementation or use of Altisource technology, such as Equator, by customers could adversely impact the operation of that technology, and potentially cause harm to our reputation, loss of customers, negative publicity or exposure to liability claims or government investigations or actions.

We rely on certain third parties to provide services, products and solutions including certain data, infrastructure, technology, systems and functionality including a third partythird-party hosted and managed data center and operating environment (collectively, “Technologies”“Inputs”) critical to our services, including our Hubzu real estate marketing, Equator, Field Services, NestRange, RentRange, TrelixTM Connect, Vendorly®, RentRange®Vendorly, and other solutions. The failure of such third parties to provide or make available the TechnologiesInputs in accordance with applicable requirements could negatively impact our ability to provide our services or perform transactions and to meet our obligations. In addition, these third parties could cease providing or reduce the availability, type, details or other aspects of the Technologies,Inputs, and change the pricing, performance or functionality of the Technologies.Inputs. If such TechnologiesInputs become unavailable or too expensive and we are unable to obtain suitable alternatives and efficiently and effectively integrate these alternatives into our service offerings or infrastructure, we could experience service disruptions, increased costs and reduced quality of our services.

As part of our business we collect, store, process, transfer and dispose in tangible and electronic forms customer, consumer, vendor and employee personal information (“PI”). We and our vendors rely on processes that are intended to provide necessary notices, processes and controls regarding the collection, storage, processing and destruction of PI, and to permit subjects to exercise their legal rights concerning their PI in our possession. If those notices, processes or controls are not sufficient, or our processes or controls experience an error or other disruption, we or our vendors may fail to comply with applicable requirements concerning PI. In addition, we rely on the security of our facilities, networks, databases, systems, processes and processescontrols, and, in certain circumstances, third parties, such as vendors, to protect PI. If oursuch facilities, networks, databases, systems, processes and controls, andor those of our customers or vendors, are not effective, are outdated or compromised, or do not exist, or if we, our customers or vendors fail to detect or respond to attacks or intrusions, unauthorized parties may gain access to our networks or databases or information, or those of our customers or vendors with which we interconnect or share information, and they may be able to steal, publish, delete, or modify PI. In addition, employees may intentionally or inadvertently process PI in an unauthorized manner or cause data or security breaches that result in unauthorized release of such PI. Further, our efforts to process, delete or destroy PI may not be consistent with our disclosed policies or may not be successful, resulting in the theft or unintentional disclosure of PI, including when disposing of media on which PI may be stored. In such circumstances, our business could be harmed and we could be liable to our customers, employees or vendors, or to regulators, consumers or other parties, as well as be subject to disclosure or notification requirements, orand regulatory or other actions for breaching applicable laws, failing to make or provide required disclosures or notifications, or failing to adequately protect such information. This could result in costly investigations and litigation, civil or criminal penalties, large scale remediation requirements, operational changes or other response measures, significant penalties, fines, settlements, costs, consent orders, loss of consumer confidence in our security measures and negative publicity.

Altisource, through its subsidiary Association of Certified Mortgage Originators Risk Retention Group, Inc., provides certified loan insurance to its customers. Altisource reduces a portion of its risk of insurance loss through third partythird-party reinsurance. The incidence and severity of claims against insurance policies are inherently unpredictable. Although we attempt to manage our exposure to insurance underwriting risk through the use of disciplined underwriting controls and the purchase of third partythird-party reinsurance, we maintain first loss exposure and the frequency and severity of claims could be greater than contemplated in our pricing and risk management methods and our controls and mitigation efforts may not be effective or sufficient.

We also face counterparty risk when purchasing reinsurance from third partythird-party reinsurers. The insolvency or unwillingness of any of our present or future reinsurers to contract with us or make timely payments to us under the terms of our reinsurance agreements could have an adverse effect on us. Further, there is no certainty that we will be able to purchase the amount or type of reinsurance we desire in the future or that the reinsurance we desire will be available on terms we consider acceptable or with reinsurers with whom we want to do business.

Under certain of our material agreements a change of control would be deemed to occur if, among other things, a “group” (as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is formed by shareholders holding beneficial ownership of a defined percentage of the combined voting power or economic interest of our capital stock. The Brokerage Agreement with NRZ’sRithm’s licensed brokerage subsidiary contains a similar provision, and we may enter into material agreements in the future that contain similar provisions. The formation of a “group” could occur without the involvement of or input by us, and we are not in a position to prevent such an event from occurring. Such a change of control could constitute a termination event or an event of default under these agreements.

We rely on third party vendors to provide goods and services in relation to many aspects of our operations, including field services providers and certain providers of web-based services or software as services. Our dependence on these vendors makes our operations vulnerable to the unavailability of such third parties,vendors, the pricing and quality of services and products offered by such third parties,vendors, solvency of those third partiesvendors, security failures of those vendors, deficiencies and failures of business continuity and disaster recovery plans and efforts of such vendors, and such third parties’vendors’ failure to perform adequately under our agreements with them. In addition, where a vendor provides services or products that we are required to provide under a contract with a customer, we are generally responsible for such performance and could be held accountable by the customer for any failure of performance by our vendors.vendors or related defects. If our vendor sourcing efforts are not effective or if we are otherwise not able to secure an appropriate supply and quality of vendors, and services or supplies, if vendors are unable to hire or retain employees or acquire supplies or are prohibited or prevented from performing the services or providing the products for which we contract, including as the result of restrictions imposed by state or local governments or health departments, we may be unable to provide services or compliant services.services or services may become more expensive. If our vendor oversight activities are ineffective, or if a vendor fails to provide the services or products that we require or expect or fails to meet contractual requirements, such as service levels or compliance with applicable laws, or a vendor engages in misconduct, the failure or misconduct could negatively impact our business by adversely affecting our ability to serve our customers or subjecting us to litigation and regulatory risk for ineffective vendor oversight. Furthermore, the failure to obtain services or products at anticipated pricing could impact our cost structure and the prices of our services and we provide.may not be able to increase our fees to cover the additional costs. In addition, Altisource may be contractually required by its customers or by applicable regulations to oversee its vendors and document procedures performed to demonstrate that oversight. If we fail to meet such customer or regulatory requirements, or we face difficulties managing our relationships with third party vendors, we may lose customers or may no longer be granted referrals for certain services or could be subject to adverse regulatory action.

A significant number of contractors provide services in our operations for whomwhich we do not pay or withhold any federal, state or local employment tax or provide employee benefits. These contractors may be retained by us or retained by vendors providing services to us. There are a number of tests used in determining whether an individual is an employee or a contractor. There can be no assurance that we are in compliance, or that legislative, judicial or regulatory (including tax) authorities will not introduce proposals or assert interpretations of existing rules and regulations that would change, or at least challenge, the classification of our contractors. Although we believe we have properly classified our contractors, and require our vendors to property classify contractors used in connection with providing services to us, theThe United States Internal Revenue Service or other United States federal or state authorities or similar authorities of a foreign government may determine that we or our vendors have misclassified our contractors for employment tax or other purposes and, as a result, seek additional taxes from us, require us to pay certain

We have significant business relationships with and provide services to Ocwen and to NRZ.Rithm, and we have business relationships with certain companies in which William C. Erbey has invested. We also have a revolving credit facility with a fund managed by Deer Park Road Management Company L.P. (together with its affiliates and managed funds, “Deer Park”), and Deer Park owns Altisource debt as a lender pursuant to our senior secured term loan agreement, as amended and restated with an effective date of February 14, 2023 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Deer Park and William C. Erbey (directly or through trust or investment vehicles in which he has sole voting and investment power) have disclosed that they own equity interests in Altisource representing approximately 16% and 23%, respectively, of Altisource’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, Deer Park owned approximately 18% of Altisource’s debt under the Amended Credit Agreement and held 292 thousand warrants received in connection with the February 2023 debt amendment. Certain members of our management and independent members of our Board of Directors (or entities affiliated with such members of the Board of Directors members)Directors) have direct or beneficial equity interests in one or more of Altisource, Ocwen or in NRZ,and Rithm, including in one instance, equity interests in both Ocwen (slightly less than 10%(estimated to be approximately 8%) and Altisource (approximately 24%16%) as well as debt of both of these parties,companies. Such interests and equity interests in NRZ (less than 1%). Such interestsrelationships could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us and Ocwen, Rithm, Deer Park, William C. Erbey or NRZ.their affiliates. There can be no assurance that we will implement measures that will enable us to manage such potential conflicts with Ocwen or NRZ.conflicts. There can be no assurance that any current or future measures that may be implemented to manage potential conflicts will be effective or that we will be able to manage or resolve all potential conflicts with Ocwen, Rithm, Deer Park, William C. Erbey or NRZ,their affiliates and,

even if we do, that the resolution will be no less favorable to us than if we were dealing with another third partythird-party that has none of the connections we have with Ocwen, Rithm, Deer Park or NRZ.

Our success is dependent on the efforts and abilities of members of our Board of Directors, our executive officers and other key employees, many of whom have significant experience in the real estate and mortgage, financial services and technology industries or play a substantial role in our relationship with certain customers. In particular, weWe are dependent on the services of members of our Board of Directors and key executives at our corporate headquarters and personnel at each of our lines of business and support groups. In addition, certain members of our Board of Directors, executive officers or other key employees have relationships with certain customers or vendors that facilitate our business and operations. The loss of the services of any of these members of our Board of Directors, executives or key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations or relationships with certain customers or vendors.

To maintain our substance and leadership as a Luxembourg company, we seek to convene at least one Board meetingsof Directors meeting in Luxembourg several times each year and our executive management is largely based in Luxembourg. The travel required by our directors to Luxembourg, and currentpotential future restrictions on and requirements tofor such travel, to Luxembourg may serve as an impediment to attract and retain directors and director candidates. Our Luxembourg location can also make it difficult to attract and retain executive officers and other senior leadership.leadership and to achieve diversity and succession planning in such roles.

Our business is labor intensive and places significant importance on our ability to recruit, engage, train and retain skilled employees. Additionally, demand for qualified professionals with experience in certain businesses (e.g. residential title, valuation and loan underwriting) or technologies may exceed available supply. Our ability to recruit and train employees is critical to achieving our growth objective. Further, some of our business operations require recruiting and retaining employees with certain professional licenses, particularly in the United States. In 2020, we saw anAn increase in demand for professionals licensed to work in our originationsorigination, real estate brokerage and auction, and default business, and significant turnover in that area. Our originations businessthose areas, may negatively impact our ability to attract and retain such professionals. We face inflationary wage pressures which may continue for an extended period. We may continue to encounter significant challenges in attracting and retaining employees as needed to satisfy demand or growth expectations for our services, or to be able to limit compensation related costs to make operations economically viable. We may not be able to attract and retain skilled employees, weemployees. We may face an increase in wages or other costs of attracting, training or retaining skilled employees. In addition, attrition of current employees may negatively impact our ability to provide services of a quality or volume that satisfy applicable contractual obligations or that support our planned growth or expansion of services.

We have employees and operations outside of the USUnited States, in countries such as Luxembourg, India and Uruguay. The occurrence of natural disasters, epidemics or other health emergencies, or political or economic instability impacting these countries, could interfere with work performed by these labor sources or could result in us having to replace or reduce these labor sources.

Furthermore, the practice of utilizing labor based in foreign countries has at times come under increased scrutiny in the United States. Governmental authorities could seek to impose financial costs or restrictions on foreign companies providing services to

We have significantly expanded the scope of services that we provide to our existing customer base and expanded our customer portfolio with the addition of several new customers. As part of our business and financial planning, we make assumptions about the quantity and timing of services that each of theseour customers and prospective customers will order from us. In many instances, however, our customers may not be obligated to acquire our services or may only be obligated to acquire our services to the extent the customer can make use of such services. Our volume of sales may not materialize to the extent our customers or prospect customers elect to use providers of services other than us, or if economic, industry or industrycompany specific conditions exist such that our clientscustomers or prospect customers do not require the assumed quantity of services or reduce the fees paid for the services. For example, economic conditions and restrictions instituted by governmental authorities, GSEs, servicers or investors, in response toor the COVID-19 pandemicsale, consolidation or failure of current or potential customers, may negatively impact the quantity or timing of customer demand for our services despite the existence of an agreement. Our customers may use more than one provider for given services resulting in such customers varying over time the quantity or mix of services acquired from us versus other providers. Even in cases where our customer contracts require minimum purchases by a customer, we may be unable or we may determine that it is unadvisableinadvisable for us to seek to enforce or collect upon the contractual minimums.

The markets for our services are characterized by constant technological and other changes, our customers’ and competitors’ frequent introduction of new services, and evolving industry standards and government regulations. We are currently in the process of, and from time to time will be, developing and introducing new services and technologies and improvements to existing services.services and technologies. Our future success will be significantly affected by our ability to complete our current efforts and in the future enhance, our services and technologies, and to develop and introduce new services that address changes in technology or applicable marketplaces or the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers and their customers, as well as our ability to reduce costs by relying on cloud architecture and other infrastructure advancements. These efforts may include implementing new real estate auction and marketing capabilities, as well as technological and other modifications to increase efficiency and flexibility in supplying our default-related and originationsorigination services. These initiatives carry the risks associated with any new technology or service development effort, including cost overruns, delays in delivery and performance effectiveness. There can be no assurance that we will continue with our current efforts and be successful in developing, enhancing, marketing, selling and implementing new and improved technology or services. In addition, we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, enhancement, introduction and marketing of thesetechnologies or services. Our technology and services and their enhancements may also not adequately meet the demands of the marketplace or governmental authorities and achieve market acceptance.

Customers of our default-related services and origination services may seek to reduce the number of service providers employed through vendor consolidation, insourcing (providing the services itself) or by other means. Such changes could reduce the demand for our services or control over the prices we are able to charge for our services.

Historically, our strategy has included the acquisition of complementary businesses from time to time. In the future, we may consider acquisitions of or merger with other businesses that we believe could complement our business, offer us greater access in our current markets or offer us greater access and expertise in other asset types and markets that are related to ours, but we do not currently serve. Our ability to pursue additional acquisitions in the future is dependentdepends on our access to sufficient capital (equity

and/or debt) to fund the acquisition and subsequent integration. Because of the obligations to maintain a minimum cash threshold in the Cooperative Brokerage Agreement and restrictions in our senior secured term loan agreement,Amended Credit Agreement, we may not be able to secure adequate capital as needed on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

When we acquire new businesses, we may face a number of integration risks, including a loss of focus on our daily operations, the need for additional management, constraints on operating resources, constraints on financial resources from integration and system conversion costs, and the inability to maintain key pre-acquisition relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. We may have particular integration risks as we are a Luxembourg-domiciled company, resulting in numerous changes that may need to be made immediately or promptly following closing of such an acquisition. In addition, any acquisition may result in the incurrence of additional amortization expense of related intangible assets, which could reduce our profitability.

AEconomic or market fluctuations such as a decrease in sales or sales prices of residential properties or an increase in the United Statessales transaction timelines could reduce the demand for certain of our services provided in connection with therelated to marketing and sale of real estate sale transactions, including services ancillary to the sale,such transactions, such as closing services and title insurance services. In addition, reduced demand forTypically, the volume of residential property could depresssales decline and transaction timelines increase as residential mortgage interest rates increase, financing options and availability for borrowers decline or consumer confidence falls. A reduction in the volume of real estate transactions or the sales price of salesreal estate could negatively impact our residential real estate brokerage and auction businesses which earn commission fees that do occur, negatively impacting commissions and other fees we receive which are generally set as a percentage ofbased on the property sale price.

Economic or market fluctuations that reduce the volume or value of residential mortgage originations in the United Statesorigination or re-financings could decrease the demand for our mortgage originationsorigination and mortgage insurance related products,services, including servicesthose provided to members of the Lenders One mortgage cooperative. An increase in residential mortgage interest rates or a decline in financing available for borrowers as a result of an inflationary environment or government action responding to the same could result in a decrease in such demand. Increasing housing prices could also reduce the number of sale transactions resulting in a decrease in new mortgage origination.

We provide certain services to residential mortgage servicers and subservicers, as well as government sponsored entities, federal agencies and others, to protect, preserve, manage and potentially dispose of properties securing residential mortgage loans, when such loans become delinquent, default, undergo foreclosure or become a REO asset. Rates of residential mortgage delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures can be negatively impacted by numerous factors, including strengthening economic conditions, increasing housing equity from rising home values, decreasing residential mortgage interest rates, a reduction in the number of residential mortgages outstanding or a reduction in home ownership levels or by governmental or servicer action. National servicing standards, federal and state government scrutiny and regulation, requirements specifying loan loss mitigation, modification and foreclosure procedures, rules instituted by governmental authorities, GSEs, servicers or investors preventing actions related to loan delinquencies and foreclosures, including moratoriums on foreclosures and mortgage payment forbearance plans, such as those implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, among others may also reduce the number of mortgage loans entering the foreclosure process andor suspend pending foreclosure and eviction actions. If theseSuch conditions continue, they would likelycould negatively impact demand for our default services. The expiration dates of certain of these requirements may be indefinite or extended in the future making it difficult to predict when such requirements may end. Reductions in the rates of residential mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and REO would likely reduce demand for our services related to non-judicial foreclosures, inspecting, maintaining, valuing, marketing and selling such assets.

If faced with an extended period of decline in demand for and revenue from certain of our services as a result of economic conditions, borrower loss mitigation or relief measures, or due to government, GSE, servicer or investor restrictions related to loan delinquencies and foreclosures, including moratoriums on foreclosures and mortgage payment forbearance plans, such as those implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we may

be unable to sufficiently adjust our cost structure, to avoid losses in our operations that provide such impacted services or at the corporate level, to avoid negative impacts to net revenue or profits. We also may be unable to maintain our ability to offer thosesuch services in the future. The expiration dates of certain requirements, loss mitigation or relief measures that impact demand for our services may be indefinite or extended in the future making it difficult to predict when such requirements or measures may end. In response to such conditions, we may be required to modify or suspend such operations which could negatively impact our ability to timely respond to an increase in demand for such services or to provide such services in the future, or which could cause us to incur significant expense to restart or scale such services in response to an increase in demand.

Reduction in residential foreclosures or the supply of REO or sales of REO in the United States could reduce the demand for and volume of certain of our services, including foreclosure trustee, foreclosure auction, REO asset management, REO property inspection and preservation, real estate brokerage, and real estate auction and marketing services, as well as sales of REO, especially in cases where more desirable propertiesloans are resolved prior to foreclosure or sold at foreclosure auctions and therefore do not convert to REO. For example, we anticipate that the continuation of foreclosure and eviction moratoriums will reduce the supply of REO we receive from our customers through 2021. The reduction in thereduced supply of REO or sales of REO could also impact our ability to meet certain contractually required service metrics, including those metrics tied to satisfying certain conversion percentage requirements as the size of the applicable population declines and the population of REO that remains is often the most difficult to sell. Reduced volumes may make it more difficult to provide services in an economic manner, undermine beneficial efficiencies, and increase the risks and costs of securing vendors to provide required services and products on a smaller scale.

Some of the service metrics which may be impacted include those related to REO conversion rates, aging of assets,REO, time on market and sale price compared to valuation. If we fail to satisfy applicable performance metrics or perform in a manner satisfactory to our customers, such customers may reduce the services they acquire from us or otherwise terminate us as a service provider.

An extended period of reduced demand for our default-related servicesall or forcertain of our higher margin default-related services could negatively impact our cash flow such that we may need to use unrestricted cash on hand to satisfy our obligations, which would

In addition, our liquidity couldwould be adversely affected by any inability to access the capital markets, volatility in the capital markets, unforeseen outflows of cash, funding for contingencies and increased regulatory liquidity requirements.

Our ability to borrow money could be limited, or our cost of borrowing could increase, due to volatility in the capital markets, worsening terms on which credit is available or limitations in our senior secured term loan agreements. In addition, our financial results, reduced revenue or cash flow, or volatility in the markets which we support, could negatively impact our customer and prospective customer relationships, as well as our ability to borrow or our ability to continue to satisfy the covenants and terms of our senior secured term loan agreements. If we were to have a covenant default under our loan agreements, we would not be able borrow additional funds under our existing agreements and our lenders could seek to enforce the remedies available to them under our loan agreements. A reduction in our ability to borrow funds to support our operations couldor a reduction in cash flow would also reduce our ability to pursue our business strategy to diversify and grow our customer base.

From time to time, our debt under the Amended Credit Agreement may trade at a substantial discount to face value.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness depends in part, on our ability to generate cash in the future. As a result of the low default, foreclosure and REO levels and declining origination volumes in the recent rising interest rate environment, our cash flows were and remain severely impacted. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve historical levels of revenues and cash flows (adjusted for businesses sold or discontinued). If we do not generate sufficient cash flows and do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet our debt service and working capital requirements, we may need to seek additional financing, raise equity or sell assets, and our ability to take these actions may be limited by the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, Revolver or the market. We may not be able to refinance our senior secured term loan. This may makeexisting indebtedness when it more difficult for us tobecomes due or obtain alternative financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Without any such financing, we could be forced to sell assets or reduce costs under unfavorable circumstances to make up for any shortfall in our payment obligations. IfEven if necessary, we may not be able to sell assets or reduce costs quickly enough or for sufficient amounts to enable us to meet our obligations.

Failure to meet our debt service requirements could result in an event of default under our senior secured term loanloans agreement which, if not cured or waived, couldwould result in the holders of the defaulted debt causing all outstanding amounts with respect to that debt to be immediately due and payable and potentially permitting lenders to execute applicable security interests, negatively impacting our future operations or ability to engage in other favorable business activities.

Our senior secured term loan agreements require us to repay the outstanding balance due in April 2025, with an option to extend to April 2026 if we make par paydowns from the proceeds of issuances of equity interests or from junior indebtedness totaling at least $30 million on or before February 13, 2024, ($247.2and there is no continuing default of the loan agreements.

If we were to default on the senior secured term loan,our debt, our lenders could take action adverse to our interests under the terms of the loan agreement,agreements, including seeking to take possession of the applicable collateral. In addition, a default under the loan agreements could constitute a termination event under certain of our client or vendor agreements, which could adversely impact our revenue or cash flow or our ability to provide products and services. Under such circumstances, if we are not able to agree upon a resolution with our lenders, we might seek applicable legal protections including under bankruptcy law, which in turnfurther could provide certain of our clientscustomers or vendors the ability to terminate our agreements.
