2020 Business HighlightsAltisource

Altisource®® is an integrated service provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries. Combining operational excellence with a suite of innovative services and technologies, Altisource helps solve the demands of the ever-changing markets we serve.

Traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS,” Altisource is organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Set forth below is a partial summary of Altisource’s 2021 performance. Please refer to our 2021 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for a more complete description of our 2021 performance.
Altisource demonstrated resiliency during 2021, a year defined by challenges from the pandemic and related borrower relief programs that significantly impacted our revenue and earnings. We strengthened our balance sheet, ending 2021 with $98.1 million in cash representing a 68% increase in cash compared to 2020.

Proxy Summary   

2020 was a challenging yearIn the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Pointillist subsidiary for Altisource. Our 2020 financial performance was negatively impacted by:

We reduced 2021 cash operating costs (excluding outside fees and services) by 25% compared to 2020. During 2021, the Company implemented certain cost reduction measures to address potential impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, related measuresincluding a temporary reduction of the base salaries of Mr. Shepro, Ms. Esterman and certain other senior leaders. These reductions commenced on March 1, 2021 and continued until December 1, 2021. In addition, Mr. Shepro voluntarily waived on a permanent basis his housing allowance, effective March 1, 2021, and the use of one company leased vehicle, effective June 1, 2021.
The restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted pursuant to provide financial supportthe 2021 Long-Term Incentive Awards for executive officers and other employees were calculated using a fixed share price rather than the average 30-trading day share price preceding the grant date which was the method historically used to borrowers (i.e.determine the number of RSUs granted. A $15 share price was applied to determine the number of RSUs granted, rather than the average $10.56 share price over the preceding 30-trading day period, resulting in a smaller number of RSUs being granted. The smaller number of RSUs granted reduced shareholder dilution when compared to the grants that would have been applied using the historical methodology. Further, Mr. Shepro voluntarily reduced his target 2021 Long-Term Incentive Award by seventy percent (70%), from 83,997 RSUs to 25,199 RSUs.
2021 referrals to Hubzu, our online real estate sale platform, were 30% higher than 2020, including a 62% increase in foreclosure referrals and eviction moratoriumsa 6% decrease in REO referrals. As of December 31, 2021, Hubzu inventory included over 6,300 homes, representing a 27% increase compared to December 31, 2020, including a 67% increase in foreclosure inventory and borrower forbearance plans), partially offset by growtha 5% decrease in our origination business REO inventory.


OneIn the second quarter of 2021, we entered into an agreement with Ocwen Financial Corporation'sCorporation (together with its affiliates, "Ocwen"subsidiaries, “Ocwen”) mortgage servicing rights ("MSR"extending the terms of certain services agreements from August 2025 through August 2030 and expanding the scope of solutions to include, among other things, the opportunity for the Company to provide first and second chance foreclosure auctions on Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) investors directing it to transitionloans, field services on Ocwen’s FHA, Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Agriculture loans, and title services on FHA and valuation referralsVeterans Affairs loans, subject to that investor's captive vendors; we believe the transition of these referrals is largely complete

Throughout the year, the Altisource team rosea process to address unprecedented adversity and performed well during periods of uncertainty. We focused on factors within our control. We aggressively reduced costs and simplified the organization, continuing these efforts into the first quarter of 2021.

We have two strong core businesses—origination and default. We had strong revenue growth in our origination business, excluding our construction risk mitigation business that was impacted by the pandemic, and we forecast this strong growthconfirm Altisource’s ability to continue in 2021. Our countercyclical default business was adversely impacted by temporary pandemic-related government and servicer borrower relief measures and one of Ocwen's MSR investors directing Ocwen to refer business to that investor's captive vendors.

The Company also has a robust unweighted sales pipeline of approximately $220 million.

To address lower revenue in the default business, the Company aggressively reduced cash costs and simplified the organization; cash costs (other than outside fees and services, severance and fourth quarter 2020 bonus accrual reversals) were $12 million lower in the fourth quarter 2020 compared to the fourth quarter 2019.

Independence of Directors

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a majority of our Directors must qualify as independent Directors under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable law.

The purpose of this review is to determine whether any transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the Director is independent. Only those Directors who are determined by our Board of Directors to have no material relationship with Altisource are considered independent. This determination is based in part on the analysis of questionnaire responses that follow the independence standards and qualifications established by the Nasdaq and applicable law. The Board of Directors also considers beneficial ownership of our common stock by each of the Directors in its analysis, as set forth under "Security“Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management," although our Board of Directors generally believes that stock ownership tends to further align a Director'sDirector’s interests with those of our other shareholders. Please see "Minimum“Minimum Stock Ownership Requirements"Requirements” under the Board of Directors Compensation section for additional information.

Board of Directors Compensation
Compensation Arrangements for Non-Management Directors

Altisource's

Altisource’s director compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly qualified non-management directors. Our Compensation Committee believes that compensation for non-management directors should consist of both equity and cash to compensate members for their service on the Board of Directors and its committees and to align their interests with our shareholders.

In line with our philosophy that the interests of our Directors should align with the interests of our shareholders, and to encourage active membership, non-management Directors who attend at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees on which they serve are entitled to receive an award of shares of our common stock at the end of the applicable service year based on an award value periodically approved by our shareholders. We determine the number of shares to be granted by dividing the award value by the average of the high and low prices of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the first day of the service year.

For the 20192020 to 20202021 service year, each of our non-management Directors who attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees on which they served received 5,36712,786 shares of our common stock at the end of the service year, based on an award value of $120,000 divided by the average of the high and low prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 21, 2019 (the first day of the 2019 to 2020 service year).

For the 2020 to 2021 service year, our non-management Directors who attend at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings of the Board and Committees on which they serve will receive 12,786 shares of common stock at the end of the service year, based on an award value of $120,000 divided by the average of the high and low prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 20, 2020 (the first day of the 2020 to 2021 service year).

For the 2021 to 2022 service year, our non-management Directors who attend at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings of the Board and Committees on which they serve will receive 17,180 shares of common stock at the end of the service year, based on an award value of $120,000, divided by the average of the high and low prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 19, 2021 (the first day of the 2021 to 2022 service year). Since Mr. Burg attended all of the meetings for the 2021 to 2022 service year while he served on the Board, he will receive 13,462 shares of common stock, based on a prorated award value of $94,030. Because Ms. Hickok has attended all of the meetings since her election to the Board, she will receive 3,718 shares of common stock, based on a prorated award value of $25,970.
In addition, in line with our philosophy that the interests of our Directors should be aligned with those of our shareholders, new non-management Directors are granted a one-time award of 500 restricted shares of common stock, which are scheduled to vest in four (4) equal installments, with the initial portion vesting on the date of the annual meeting following the award and vesting continuing on the dates of the next three (3) annual meetings.

As approved by our shareholders at our 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, each non-management member of our Board of Directors also receives the following annual cash compensation, in quarterly installments:


a retainer of $54,000;


an additional $100,000 to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if not a member of the Company'sCompany’s management(1); (1);


an additional $25,000 to the Audit Committee Chairman; Chair;


an additional $17,500 to the Compliance Committee Chairman; Chair;

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We believe an effective executive compensation program aligns executives' interests with shareholders by rewarding performance that achieves or exceeds specific financial targets and strategic goals designed to improve shareholder and stakeholder value.

Our compensation program is highly leveraged towards creating a pay-for-performance culture that promotes consistent, high-level financial performance and individual service longevity. We believe our compensation program rewards executives for Company and individual performance, encouraging focus on our annual and long-term business goals and aligning executives' interest with those of our shareholders.

The Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation programs to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain high quality talent in key positions and that compensation provided to Named Executive Officers remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies.

The three elements of our executive compensation plan are base salary, annual performance-based incentive, and long-term equity awards. As illustrated inwere the following pay mix graphs, 28% of ourindividuals:


William B. Shepro, Chief Executive Officer's total compensation for 2020 and 45% of our other Named Executive Officers' total compensation for 2020 was base salary (fixed compensation) and the remainder of their compensation elements are either linked to annual performance incentives covering 2020 performance or are in the form of long-term equity awards granted in 2020. At target level of achievement, 25% of the total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and 41% of the total compensation of other Named Executive Officers is base salary (fixed compensation) and the remainder of the compensation items are linked to annual performance or are in the form of long-term equity awards. These percentages exclude All Other Compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation table below.

Another key element of our executive compensation philosophy is the emphasis on equity compensation. We believe such a practice helps drive ownership and aligns executive interests to the long-term success of the Company. As illustrated in the graphs below, most of our Chief Executive Officer's (72%), and a substantial portion of our other Named Executive Officers' (55%) total compensation in 2020 was in the form of equity grants as compared to cash compensation. At target level of performance, 53% of our Chief Executive Officer's and 41% of our other Named Executive Officers' total compensation would be in the form of equity compensation. These percentages exclude All Other Compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation table below.


Cash vs. Equity Compensation

GRAPHIC

In 2020, we faced significant challenges and lower revenues primarily owing to declines in our default business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and one of the MSR investors of our largest customer instructing that customer to redirect certain referrals from us to that investor's captive service provider. To address these reductions, we undertook cost reduction measures including changes to executive compensation as follows:

    Reducing compensation—The compensation of each of our Named Executive Officers (except our Chief Executive Officer) was voluntarily reduced by an amount equal to 25% of their base salary, and the base salary for our Chief Executive Officer was reduced by 40%, effective in April 2020 and continuing for a period of six months. There was no change in compensation for our Chief Administration and Risk Officer since his employment with the Company ceased in April 2020.

    Reducing maximum level of achievement for annual incentive compensation and revising incentive compensation metrics—The Compensation Committee elected to exercise its discretion to revise the 2020 annual incentive compensation program by establishing the maximum incentive compensation pool at 80% of target, as opposed to 175% of target previously approved in the plan and revising

GRAPHIC

      the applicable metrics to align with the Company's cost reduction priorities. Subsequently, the Compensation Committee further elected to exercise its discretion to establish the maximum incentive pool at 27.3% of target and to cause all 2020 annual incentive awards to be paid in RSUs. Based upon actual performance against the cost reduction objectives, the achievement level for 2020 annual incentives was 91.7% of the 27.3% target pool which equated to a payout of 25.0% of target for the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Administration and Risk Officer, who was not eligible for 2020 incentives, and the Chief Executive Officer). The Compensation Committee paid the Chief Executive Officer at 20% of the annual incentive target.

    Reducing maximum level of achievement for long term incentive awards—The Compensation Committee elected to exercise its discretion to revise the maximum level of achievement for 2020 performance in the 2019 and 2020 Long Term Incentive Plans ("LTIP") Type II awards at 80% of target, as opposed to the 150% previously approved in the plan, with the actual level of achievement to be determined by the Compensation Committee based on the level of achievement on the 2020 cost reduction objectives. Based upon actual performance against the cost reduction objectives, the Company's 2020 achievement level under the LTIP Type II award was 91.7% of the 80% maximum potential achievement, or 73.4% for the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Administration and Risk Officer, who was not eligible for 2020 incentives). The Type II RSU awards are not yet due to vest and the actual amount of Type II RSUs that vest will depend upon the performance against the established criteria.

The details related to base salary, annual incentives and LTIP awards are provided in subsequent sections.

In determining executive compensation for the fiscal year, our Compensation Committee considered, among other factors, the shareholder support that the "Say-on-Pay" proposal received at our annual meeting of shareholders in 2020 (with approximately seventy-two (72%) of voted shares supporting the Company's Named Executive Officer compensation structure) and continued to apply principles and a philosophy focused on pay-for-performance and the use of a compensation program designed to motivate the creation of long-term value.

We continued to evolve our executive compensation program in various areas over the past several years based on feedback that we received from our shareholders and other stakeholders.

What We HeardHow We Responded
The Company should work toward creating ownership across levels and align employee interest to long term value creation.Beginning in 2018, the Company amended its annual incentive payout methodology to pay a significant portion of the executives earned annual incentive based upon their scorecard performance, in time based RSU as opposed to all in cash. For the 2020 performance year, 100% of the earned annual incentives for our Named Executive Officers was paid in time based RSUs.

What We HeardHow We Responded
The Company's LTIP Type I performance-based RSUs awards are based on the same goals as the annual incentive plan. In addition, each tranche vests if the executive's scorecard is a mere 50%. This structure, with similar metrics and performance period, provides two awards for one achievement. At least half of award is based on annual goals that are not rigorous.Our LTIP Type I performance-based RSU awards, which represent fifty (50%) percent of the target LTIP award, are primarily intended to serve as a retention tool through the grant of time-based RSUs. The Company, however, may withhold the LTIP Type I grant if the executive does not meet minimum performance standards in the given year. This contrasts with the annual incentive plan which is based upon the executive's performance against their scorecard with a percentage of the annual incentive earned typically paid in cash and a percentage paid in time-based RSUs (for 2020 calendar year's annual incentive, 100% of the annual incentive was paid in time-based RSUs).

The only multi-year LTIP performance measure is the Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") modifier applied to Type II awards.


The metrics for the LTIP Type II performance-based RSU awards, which represent fifty (50%) percent of the target LTIP award, are tied to (1) the Company's performance over a three-year period on key financial metrics, with the achievement level modified by (2) the TSR compared to the benchmark Russell 3000 stock market index during this period. In addition to the multi-year LTIP Type II performance measures, the LTIP Type I time-based RSUs and the payment of a significant portion of the earned annual incentive in time-based RSUs also serve to align executives' interests with shareholders over a multi-year period of time.

The adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") and relative TSR goals for the LTIP Type II performance-based RSUs awards are undisclosed.


The vesting of LTIP Type II performance-based RSU awards is typically linked to the average level of attainment of the adjusted EPS budget for each of the three years in the three-year period (provided, however, that for calendar year 2020 under the 2019 and 2020 LTIP plans, the adjusted EPS performance metric was replaced with an achieving a cost savings metric) with the achievement level modified by the TSR compared to the benchmark Russell 3000 stock market index during this period. The detailed methodology is explained in the Equity Award section of this proxy. Employees can typically earn between 0% to 225% of their target award depending on actual performance against both (1) the applicable financial metrics and (2) the TSR compared to the benchmark Russell 3000 stock market index over the three-year period.

What We HeardHow We Responded
The Company should ensure sufficient rigor while setting the performance goals for long term awards.The Company leverages stretch Adjusted EPS targets (and for calendar year 2020, cost savings metrics) and TSR to determine the number of LTIP Type II performance-based RSU awards that vest. To further align executives' interests with shareholders and to support executive retention, in 2020, the Company granted additional RSU awards to the current Named Executive Officers with 80% of the award vesting only if the Company's share price achieves certain ambitious levels over a period of time. In order for 10%, 30% and 40% of the award to vest, the Company's share price must increase by 55%, 93% and 171%, respectively, compared to the value at the time of grant.

Pay for performance alignment should be rigorous.


We establish rigorous pay for performance criteria by linking our annual incentives to the achievement of stretch annual financial goals and 50% of our LTIP to multi-year financial performance and TSR. For 2020, the Named Executive Officers were paid between 20% to 25% of their target annual incentive, based on the Board approved bonus pool funding level and the Company's performance on the applicable scorecard metrics which consisted of an aggressive cost reduction metric. The LTIP payouts target was also adjusted based upon the Board approved funding level and the Company's performance on the applicable scorecard metrics.

Compensation Governance Practices

Our compensation program maintains and continues to build upon the Company's executive compensation governance framework. In evaluating the design of this compensation program, our Compensation Committee considers whether such program discourages behavior that may result in unnecessary or excessive risk.

What We DoWhat We Do Not Do
Executive compensation based on pay-for-performance philosophy: We link a significant portion of our executive compensation to the achievement of pre-defined performance goals, through our performance-based annual incentive plan and LTIP. Our annual incentive plan is based upon performance against certain pre-established metrics. Such metrics typically include financial goals and key strategic initiatives, as well as satisfaction of certain individual performance metrics. Part of the annual incentive is paid in RSUs, with the Compensation Committee having the discretion to increase payment in RSUs up to 100% of the award value. By vesting the RSU component over a one to two-year period, employees are incentivized to perform over an extended period of time and balance the achievement of annual objectives with longer term corporate performance.No hedging or pledging of our securities: Our Corporate Governance Guidelines prohibit our executive officers from pledging or otherwise encumbering shares of the Company's common stock as collateral for indebtedness and from entering into any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company's common stock. We also maintain a Management Directive (Management Directive No. 5: Prevention of Insider Trading and Other Prohibitions) detailing our trading window period policy and our insider trading policy, which contains similar prohibitions.
Incorporate long term performance-based criterion while determining compensation: 50% of our LTIP rewards Named Executive Officers based upon achievement of defined financial metrics and TSR (Company performance compared to the Russell 3000 stock market index) over a three-year period. The awards cliff vest three years after the grant date based upon performance against these metrics.No option repricing or repurchase of underwater options without shareholder approval: We do not reprice any of our underwater options or approve repricing of any award that is underwater.

Use appropriate peer groups when establishing compensation: We established a peer group which helps benchmark our compensation practices. We review the peer group from time to time to ensure its relevance—the last revision of our peer group happened in the fourth calendar quarter of 2019. Peer group data is an important consideration used to set the overall compensation levels and pay mix for our Named Executive Officers.


No option backdating or discounting: We do not backdate or discount any option granted to the Named Executive Officers (or any employee). The exercise price of all options is the closing price of Altisource common stock as on the date of the grant (the date when these awards are approved).

GRAPHIC

What We DoWhat We Do Not Do
Higher weightage of equity compensation versus cash compensation at senior levels: Equity compensation is one of the most significant components of our pay mix. This encourages our executives to create long-term stakeholder value and aligns their interest to the long-term success of the Company.No excessive perquisites: We provide certain of our Named Executive Officers based in Luxembourg with limited perquisites based upon important business considerations. We consider the perquisites offered to our Named Executive Officers in Luxembourg important to attract qualified executives to relocate to Luxembourg.

Maintain an independent Compensation Committee: Our Compensation Committee is composed of independent Directors, who review and approve compensation related decisions for our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee may from time to time consult with an independent compensation consultant as it deems appropriate.


Golden parachute excise tax protection: We do not provide golden parachute excise tax gross-up protection for our executives.

Maintain a claw-back policy: Our claw back policy provides that the Company may seek to recoup incentive compensation paid to current or former executive officers in the event of their willful commission of a material error, fraud or misconduct resulting in: (i) one or more financial restatements; (ii) material reputational harm to, or adverse publicity of, the Company; or (iii) the Company terminating the executive officer for cause. This policy also provides that the Company may extend its provisions and apply them to other senior employees who are not executive officers.


Guarantee salary increases

Maintain stock ownership and retention guidelines for Chief Executive Officer: The Board of Directors instituted a requirement for our Chief Executive Officer that he beneficially own Altisource stock equal to at least three times the Chief Executive Officer's annual base salary.


Offer a supplemental executive retirement program

Restrictive Covenants: With respect to equity grants made after January 1, 2013, we generally have the right to cancel outstanding equity awards and recover realized gains if an executive breaches certain restrictive covenants within two years following departure from the Company.


Our Executive Compensation Review Process

Role of Our Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our executive compensation program, including base salaries, non-equity and equity incentive compensation, equity awards, including those under our LTIP,

and executive benefits. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and approves the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Named Executive Officers periodically to determine whether compensation changes are appropriate, and may make changes to target total compensation opportunities from time to time. To make decisions that are informed by market practices, the Compensation Committee, typically in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, periodically conducts benchmarking analysis among peer companies that are comparable in size, industry and other attributes and that may compete with Altisource for qualified talent. In evaluating executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers such factors as the executive's performance against pre-set targets for the year, the Company's overall performance against its pre-set targets in the environment in which the Company is operating, the performance of the Company's stock price compared to similar companies, the executive's experience and expertise, the executive's scope of responsibility and other factors such as retention.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

Certain executives are involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation program. Historically, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration and Risk Officer generally attended Compensation Committee meetings, except that they were not present during any voting or deliberations related to their own compensation. These executives actively participated in performance determinations and compensation discussions for other executive officers, including making recommendations to the Compensation Committee as to the amount and form of compensation. Since the departure of our Chief Administration and Risk Officer in April 2020, our Chief Executive Officer has continued to attend Compensation Committee meetings in the same manner. The Compensation Committee exercises its discretion in accepting, rejecting or modifying any such executive compensation recommendations. The Compensation Committee will generally delegate executive compensation matters (other than for Named Executive Officers) to the Chief Executive Officer for execution and, in limited circumstances, further development following approval by the Committee.

In addition, the Compensation Committee has delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer to approve equity awards of up to 5,000 stock options or 5,000 restricted shares (or similar equity instrument) per employee (other than Named Executive Officers), with an exercise price of up to $50 per share and in an aggregate amount of up to 75,000 stock options or restricted shares (or similar equity instrument) per calendar year. Awards approved by the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to this delegation are reported to the Compensation Committee on a regular basis.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee periodically engages an independent compensation consultant to provide compensation consulting services. With the consent of the Compensation Committee or Compensation Committee Chairman, the independent compensation consultant coordinates with the Company's human resources function to gather information necessary to provide these services and reviews, validates and provides input on information, programs and recommendations.

Among other services, from time to time the Compensation Committee engages a compensation consultant to review the peer group used to benchmark executive and director pay to ensure the comparisons remain meaningful and relevant. In 2019, the Compensation Committee engaged Exequity, our independent compensation consultant, to conduct a review of the Company's peer group for purposes of compensation analysis and comparison. The Compensation Committee did not engage an independent compensation

Elements of Executive Compensation

The current annual compensation package for our Named Executive Officers primarily consists of three elements:

Compensation ElementCharacteristicsObjective
Base SalaryCompetitive fixed compensationProvide fixed compensation that is commensurate with the executive's scope of responsibility, experience and performance.
Annual Incentive PayPerformance based compensation, typically paid in a combination of cash and time-based RSUs (for calendar year 2020, paid solely in RSUs), linked to achievement of annual performance goals.

Align the executive's compensation with the Company's strategic business and financial goals

Incentive creation of shareholder value and retention of high performing executives through a portion of the earned incentive paid in time-based RSUs


Table of Contents

GRAPHIC

Compensation ElementCharacteristicsObjective
Long Term Incentive PlanMulti-year performance and time-based compensation paid in RSUs. The performance based RSUs are tied to the Company's-performance against established performance goals as modified by the Company's share price performance compared to the Russell 3000 stock market index, over a three-year period.

Incentivize the achievement of strategic business objectives designed to increase long-term shareholder and stakeholder value

Provide a direct correlation between executive wealth creation opportunity and stock price performance

Support the retention of high-performing executives

We believe that this compensation mix supports our objective of putting a large portion of compensation "at risk" based on Company performance. These elements of compensation are also designed to be consistent with competitive market practices and to attract and retain highly talented executives.

Beginning with the 2018 service year, we restructured our annual incentive compensation to replace a significant portion of our cash-based incentive compensation with compensation paid in time-based RSUs and have continued this practice since then. We emphasize performance-based pay and long-term equity compensation because of: (i) the direct link that equity compensation provides between shareholder interests and the interests of our executives, and (ii) the employee retention characteristics that equity compensation provides by ensuring a regular cascade of retention values that vests incrementally over time.

Detailed Review of Compensation Components

Base Salary

Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are established based on individual qualifications and job responsibilities while using a market-based approach that considers compensation levels for similar positions at companies in our peer group. The Compensation Committee sets the base salary for our Chief Executive Officer and approves the base salaries for all other Named Executive Officers.

Base salaries are reviewed periodically, and adjustments may be made based on market information, internal review of the Named Executive Officer's compensation in relation to other executives, individual performance and corporate performance. Salary levels are also considered upon a relocation, a promotion or other change in job responsibility.

In addition, under article L.223-1 of the Luxembourg Labor Code, compensation owed pursuant to an employment agreement for Luxembourg-based employees is required to be adapted based upon the cost-of-living index in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Effective January 1, 2020, there was a required two and a half percent (2.5%) increase in compensation pursuant to this law. On this date, the base salaries for our Named Executive Officers (other than Ms.Michelle D. Esterman, who does not reside in Luxembourg and is not subject to a Luxembourg employment agreement) and the incentive compensation target for the Chief Executive Officer was adjusted accordingly.

Effective April 1, 2020 and continuing until October 5, 2020, as part of the Company's efforts to reduce costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and other major events outside of the Company's control, Mr. Shepro agreed to temporarily reduce his base salary by 40% while each of Ms. Esterman, Mr. Mastioni and Mr. Ritts agreed to temporarily reduce their compensation in an amount equal to 25% of their respective base salaries. While the reductions for Mr. Shepro, Mr. Mastioni and Ms. Esterman were affected through reductions in base salary, for Mr. Ritts, an amount equivalent to 25% of his base salary for this

period was adjusted from his annual incentive compensation. There was no change in compensation for our Chief Administration and Risk Officer, however, since his employment with the Company ceased in April 2020.

Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are set in U.S. dollars and paid in euros (other than for Ms. Esterman, who resides in the U.S. and Mr. Mastioni, whose salary is set and paid in euros). Please see the Summary Compensation Table under "Executive Compensation" for additional information regarding the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers.

Annual Incentive Compensation

Pursuant to our annual incentive plan, a participant earns annual incentive compensation subject to award guidelines as determined by the Compensation Committee.

We believe that the use of well-defined objective goals linked to the annual incentives ensures the right alignment of individual rewards with shareholder interest and incents the Named Executive Officers (and other eligible employees) to achieve or exceed our strategic plan creating long term shareholder value. As in prior years, in 2020, this was intended to be accomplished by utilizing a scorecard methodology which would ensure a substantial majority of the awards are tied to financial performance metrics developed through the annual strategic planning and budgeting process and designed to enhance Company performance and long-term shareholder value.

The 2020 annual incentive compensation scorecard metrics for the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Administration and Risk Officer) were initially established by the Compensation Committee in January 2020. The initial scorecard metrics established certain revenue and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA") targets for each of the Named Executive Officers and other direct reports of the Chief Executive Officer, with additional metrics related to strategic initiatives applied to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and


Marcello Mastioni, former Chief Legal and Compliance Officer. The Chief Administration and RiskOperating Officer was not eligible for 2020 incentives.

In October 2020, the Compensation Committee revisited the previously adopted 2020 annual incentive compensation scorecard metrics due to the impact of temporary servicer and government COVID-19 related measures to provide financial support to borrowers (i.e., foreclosure and eviction moratoriums and borrower forbearance plans), and one of Ocwen's MSR investors directing it to transition default field services, title and valuation referrals to that investor's captive vendors. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee determined that the previously adopted 2020 annual incentive compensation scorecard metrics no longer aligned with the strategic priorities of the Company and adopted a revised 2020 annual incentive scorecard metric to reflect the Company's cost reduction priorities. The revised 2020 scorecard replaced scorecard metrics tied to annual financial goals with the development of, and progress against, a plan to reduce Company costs by $50 million. The new metrics emphasized reducing costs to address the rapidly evolving business and market environment. These scorecard changes provided a formulaic approach to the application of discretion in response to the crises, were broad-based, and designed to incentivize the right behaviors during the crises.

In addition to revising the scorecard metrics, the Compensation Committee reduced the maximum incentive pool under the annual incentive compensation program for 2020 to 80% of target. The Compensation Committee retained discretion to determine the scorecard achievement level and incentive pool funding percentage if the achievement level on the cost reduction objectives was less than 100%.

As of the end of 2020, the Company had developed a plan and was on target to achieve cost reductions equal to 91.7% of the proposed $50 million cost reduction goal. Based upon the achievement being less than 100%, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to further revise the maximum incentive pool to 27.3%. The Compensation Committee then applied the 91.7% achievement level to the 27.3%

revised incentive pool, resulting in a payout of 25.0% of target for Named Executive Officers, except the Chief Executive Officer, whose payout was set at 20.0% of target for 2020 and the Chief Administration and Risk Officer who was not eligible for 2020 incentives.

The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee also exercised their discretion to modify the initial 60% cash and 40% RSU composition of the annual incentive awards to increase the portion of the 2020 annual incentive compensation paid in RSUs to 100%. The portion of the RSUs that replaced the cash portion of the annual incentive award cliff vest on the first anniversary of the grant date; the remainder of the RSUs in the award cliff vest in equal tranches on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.

Personal Scorecards of our Named Executive Officers

The corporate scorecard is approved annually by the Board of Directors and is used by the Compensation Committee to determine the personal scorecards of our Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers and, following the end of the performance period, the appropriate amount of annual incentive compensation awarded to these executives. During the development of the corporate scorecard each year, the Board of Directors considers the level of difficulty associated with the attainment of each goal in the corporate scorecard. The intent of the Board of Directors is to establish target levels in the scorecard that are ambitious but achievable. Subsequent amendments/exceptions to the corporate scorecard must also be approved by the Board of Directors. Typically, in evaluating whether to approve these amendments/exceptions to the corporate scorecard, the Board of Directors considers whether they are appropriate in light of changes to the business, the market or other relevant factors during the year, including the effect that such amendment/exception would have on our Named Executive Officers' personal scorecards, and whether the rationale for the amendment/exception relates to factor(s) beyond the Named Executive Officers' control or is due to decisions taken in the overall best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

2020 Corporate Scorecard

The 2020 annual corporate scorecard was initially established by the Board of Directors on January 24, 2020. The initial scorecard metrics included: (i) service revenue broken into two components: (a) Ocwen/NRZ revenue ($378.63 million) and (b) other customers' revenue ($113.345 million); and (ii) Altisource adjusted EBITDA ($62.617 million), with additional metrics related to strategic initiatives applied to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer andGregory J. Ritts, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer. The corporate scorecard was revised on October 1, 2020 due to the impact of temporary servicer and government COVID-19 related measures to provide financial support to borrowers (i.e., foreclosure and eviction moratoriums and borrower forbearance plans), and one of Ocwen's MSR investors directing it to transition field services, title and valuation referrals to that investor's captive vendors. The Board of Directors determined that the previously adopted 2020 corporate scorecard metrics no longer aligned with the strategic priorities of the Company and adopted a revised 2020 scorecard to reflect the Company's cost reduction priority. The revised 2020 corporate scorecard replaced scorecard metrics tied to annual financial goals with the development of, and progress against, a plan to reduce Company costs by $50 million.

The personal annual scorecards for the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers are tied to the corporate scorecard; provided, however, that the personal scorecard for each of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal and Compliance Officer included a strategic initiatives metric. The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee revisited the previously adopted 2020 personal scorecard metrics in connection with the revision of the 2020 annual corporate scorecard to align the personal scorecards with the revised corporate scorecard. The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee determined that the previously adopted 2020 scorecard metrics no longer aligned with the strategic priorities of the Company and adopted a revised 2020 scorecard to reflect the Company's cost reduction priority. The revised 2020 scorecard replaced scorecard metrics tied to annual financial goals with the development of, and progress against, a plan to reduce Company costs by $50 million. The Compensation Committee also defined the annual incentive pool funding and capped the maximum bonus payable to the Named Executive Officers, as described in the Incentive Compensation section.

Executive Evaluation

In 2020, our Named Executive Officers (except the Chief Executive Officer, who was evaluated by the Compensation Committee and Chief Administration and Risk Officer, whose employment with the Company terminated in April 2020) were evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer on whether the executives made positive contributions to the creation of long-term value for our shareholders and other stakeholders.

In order to achieve 100% of their earned annual incentive (determined by their individual scorecards), our Named Executive Officers needed to obtain an affirmative answer to questions that intended to corroborate their contribution towards three key parameters, namely:

    I.
    Compliance

    II.
    Financial and Reporting Responsibility

    III.
    Leadership Effectiveness

Named Executive Officers not making positive contributions on any of these parameters would lose a portion of their earned incentive as detailed below:

ResponsesModifier used on total

"Yes" to two parameters80%
"Yes" to all three parameters100%

The Chief Executive Officer, and for the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee, made an affirmative determination that the Named Executive Officers met all three parameters.

2020 Annual Incentive Payout Determinations

The Chief Executive Officer's annual scorecard performance was determined by the Compensation Committee, taking into consideration whether the Company's performance and corresponding incentive results present a fair representation of the Chief Executive Officer's performance.

For our Named Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer (and the Chief Administration and Risk Officer who was not eligible for 2020 incentives), the Chief Executive Officer made recommendations for annual scorecard performance based on the level of achievement on the cost reduction goal that was set for the Company for 2020.

As described above, the 91.7% achievement level was applied to this revised bonus pool, resulting in a payout of 25.0% of target for the Named Executive Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer whose payout was set at 20.0% of target for 2020 and the Chief Administration and Risk Officer who was not eligible for 2020 incentives. The payout was made in RSUs and no cash incentive was paid to the Named Executive Officers for the 2020 performance year.

The following table summarizes the basis for the calculation of the 2020 incentive awards for each of the Named Executive Officers (except Mr. Wilcox, who resigned from the Company effective April 15, 2020 and was not eligible for any incentive compensation for 2020):

Target incentive opportunities are set in U.S. dollars, other than for Mr. Mastioni, for whom the incentive is set in euros. To arrive at the grant size for Mr. Mastioni, the spot rate as on the date of the grant was used.

2021 Annual Incentive Compensation

The Company's 2021 corporate scorecard was approved by the Board of Directors on December 17, 2020. Based on subsequent extensions by the government of borrower relief measures due to the on-going nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors approved a revised 2021 corporate scorecard on March 23, 2021.

The personal annual scorecards for the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers were tied to the 2021 corporate scorecard initially approved by the Board and included: (i) service revenue; (ii) adjusted EBITDA; and (iii) the successful completion of strategic initiatives (for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer).

On March 23, 2021, the Board of Directors exercised its discretion to revise the 2021 corporate scorecard. On the same day, the Compensation Committee revised the annual scorecards for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer to include the service revenue and adjusted EBITDA metrics from the revised corporate scorecard and to delete the successful completion of strategic initiatives metric. The 2021 annual scorecards applicable to the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer were also revised to include metrics related to relevant support function costs. The 2021 annual scorecard for the Chief Operating Officer was not revised.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Compensation Committee also approved continuing the payout methodology for our Named Executive Officers' 2021 service year annual incentive awards with 40% of the award to be paid in RSUs and 60% to be paid in cash, with the actual percentage of RSUs and cash to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. This methodology reflects our philosophy of having an employee compensation structure that emphasizes pay for performance with a meaningful component of the annual incentive compensation grant paid in time-based equity grants (as opposed to all cash) to drive further alignment with shareholders and long-term retention. The Board of Directors further revised the annual incentive process to adopt a new methodology for determining the annual incentive pool for the Named Executive Officers and other employees eligible for an annual incentive. The Board adopted a variable annual incentive pool, with the size of the pool being subject to change by an amount equal to 25% of any increase or decrease of Adjusted EBITDA calculated based on (1) service revenue differences from budget multiplied by the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding common and corporate costs multiplied by 12.5% and (2) Adjusted EBITDA differences from budget times 12.5%. If certain minimums are not achieved for the applicable metrics, the Board will set the annual incentive pool in its discretion.

Equity Compensation

2009 Equity Incentive Plan

Altisource provides long-term equity incentive opportunities for eligible employees, including our Named Executive Officers, under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee administers the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted prior to the spin out of the Company from Ocwen in August 2009 and subsequently ratified by the Altisource Board of Directors on September 22, 2009.

Equity awards to our Named Executive Officers are generally provided in the form of restricted shares, RSUs or stock options. As part of the Company's LTIP, a portion of the award is tied to performance against established financial targets and against the Russell 3000 stock market index, each over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee also grants awards subject to time-based vesting to encourage retention and align the recipients' interests with those of the shareholders of the Company.

Award agreements typically include a covenant not to disclose our confidential information, and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, typically for a minimum period of two (2) years following the end of the recipient's employment with the Company.


Table of Contents

GRAPHIC

To determine the level and type of equity awards for an executive, the Compensation Committee considers various factors, such as the individual's position, feedback from its independent compensation consultant, peer company benchmarking, scope of responsibility, ability to affect profits and shareholder value, individual performance, a review of the executive's existing long-term incentives, retention considerations and the value of the equity in relation to other elements of the individual executive's total compensation.

Equity Awards to our Named Executive Officers

In the first quarter of 2020, equity awards were made to each of our Named Executive Officers under the Company's applicable LTIP for the service year, reflecting the Company's transition toward a more regular annual equity grant practice.

As detailed below, during this period, equity grants were also made to our Named Executive Officers based on various considerations, including attracting new talent, meeting special retention objectives or other reasons our Compensation Committee deemed appropriate.

2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

In January 2020, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the 2020 LTIP for our Named Executive Officers, except for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Administration and Risk Officer. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the 2020 LTIP for the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Administration and Risk Officer was not eligible for 2020 incentives. The Board of Directors provided for the 2020 LTIP equity awards to be comprised equally of two types of RSUs—Type I and Type II.

Type I RSUs are primarily time-based and vest in three equal annual increments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, with each year's vesting subject to the Named Executive Officer meeting a minimum performance level of 50% on his or her annual scorecard for the previous service year. These awards are settled in shares or, at the Company's option, cash, subject to continued employment unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

The award of Type II performance-based RSUs is determined in a two-step process. First, the Type II performance-based RSUs will have the opportunity to vest based on the degree of achievement of pre-established goals tied to the 2020-2022 adjusted EPS goals (a non-U.S. GAAP measure). Depending on performance versus the adjusted EPS goals, Type II performance-based RSUs will have the opportunity to vest between zero percent (0%) and up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the initial target levels (the "Initial Award Size"). In the second step, this award will be modified based on TSR compared to the Russell 3000 stock market index during the performance period (2020-2022), resulting in a final earned award that can range between zero percent (0%) up to two hundred twenty-five percent (225%) of the Initial Award Size. Any earned Type II performance-based RSUs will cliff vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant date and will be settled in shares or, at the Company's option, cash, subject to continued employment unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

As illustrated in the graphic below, adjusted EPS and relative TSR results determine the portion of earned RSUs.

The 2020 LTIP equity awards were designed to incent the achievement of financial goals and stock-price appreciation over a multi-year period, thereby supporting a long-term focus, as well as to better align with market practice and support the retention of our executives.

Mr. Wilcox did not receive a grant in 2020 due to his previously announced separation on April 15, 2020.

The Compensation Committee elected to exercise its discretion to revise the maximum level of achievement for 2020 performance in the 2019 and 2020 LTIP Type II awards at 80% of target, as opposed to the 150% previously approved in the plan, with the actual level of achievement to be determined by the Compensation Committee based on the level of achievement on the 2020 cost reduction objectives. Such change was necessitated by the two major events outside of the Company's control that significantly impacted Altisource's revenue and earnings in 2020 and beyond, as described in earlier sections. In response to these events, the Company reset its priorities and was focused on addressing the inherent risks arising out of these events and building a strong foundation to capitalize on the potential opportunities that lies ahead of the Company. The alignment of the LTIP Type II performance metrics to these priorities ensured that the Named Executive Officers were focused on driving long term success for the Company.

Based upon actual performance against the cost reduction objectives, the Company's 2020 achievement level under the LTIP Type II award was 91.7% of the 80% maximum potential achievement, or 73.4% for the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Administration and Risk Officer, who was not eligible for 2020 incentives). Performance may be further modified by TSR against the Russell 3000 stock market index for the applicable three-year performance period.

2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

In March 2021, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved the 2021 LTIP. The structure of the LTIP was similar to the awards made in 2019 and 2020, comprising equally of two types of performance-based RSUs—Type I and Type II.

Type I RSUs will vest in three equal annual increments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the executive officer meeting a minimum performance level of 50% on his or her annual scorecard for the previous service year. These awards will be settled in shares or, at the Company's option, cash, subject to continued employment unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

The award of Type II performance-based RSUs will be determined in a two-step process. First, the Type II performance-based RSUs will have the opportunity to vest based on the degree of achievement of pre-established goals tied to the 2021-2023 adjusted EPS goals (a non-U.S. GAAP measure). Depending on

performance versus the adjusted EPS goals, Type II performance-based RSUs will have the opportunity to vest between zero percent (0%) and up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the initial target levels (the "Initial Award Size"). In the second step, this award will be modified based on TSR compared to the Russell 3000 stock market index during the performance period (2021-2023), resulting in a final earned award that can range between zero percent (0%) up to two hundred twenty-five percent (225%) of the Initial Award Size. Any earned Type II performance-based RSUs will cliff vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant date and will be settled in shares or, at the Company's option, cash, subject to continued employment unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

The award size for the Named Executive Officers was derived as a percentage of their target annual incentive divided by a stock price of $15 per share. The Compensation Committee used $15 per share, rather than the closing price of our common stock over the 30 trading days preceding the grant date as used in prior years ($10.56), to determine the number of shares granted to reduce shareholder dilution from the award due to the decline of the Altisource stock price prior to the grant date.

Based on the foregoing approvals, the 2021 LTIP equity awards were approved for our Named Executive Officers, as follows:

Other 2020 Equity Awards

The Compensation Committee approved an equity award for each Named Executive Officer (other than the Chief Administration and Risk Officer, whose employment ended in April 2020) in the last quarter of 2020. The awards were intended to support retention by providing the Named Executive Officers with the potential to earn RSUs primarily based upon the significant appreciation in Altisource's share price with a smaller component time based. This grant was intended to help further align the interests of the Named Executive Officers with the interests of the shareholders and other stakeholders.

20% of each award consists of time-based RSUs, with the remainder of each award linked to appreciation in the average closing price of Altisource's common stock as detailed below:

    10% of the award will begin to vest once the average closing price of Altisource's common stock is at or above $20 per share over a period of 30 calendar days (55% above the closing price of Altisource's common stock as on the grant date)

    30% of the award will begin to vest once the average closing price of Altisource's common stock is at or above $25 per share over a period of 30 calendar days (93% above the closing price of Altisource's common stock as on the grant date)

    40% of the award will begin to vest once the average closing price of Altisource's common stock is at or above $35 per share over a period of 30 calendar days (171% above the closing price of Altisource's common stock as on the grant date)

Other Benefits

The Compensation Committee's policy with respect to employee benefit plans is to provide benefits to our employees, including our executive officers, comparable to benefits offered by companies of a similar size and circumstance to ours. A competitive comprehensive benefit program is essential to achieving the goal of attracting and retaining highly qualified employees. Consistent with this policy, our Luxembourg-based executive officers are eligible to participate in the Company's international health and travel plan.

Relocation and Foreign Living Allowances

Since we are a Luxembourg company, our Named Executive Officers are generally based at our corporate headquarters in Luxembourg. This is consistent with our view that generally the interaction of our leadership team at our headquarters helps us to efficiently develop and execute our strategic initiatives. Often the executive talent we seek to attract to Luxembourg is based elsewhere. Consistent with our overall compensation aim to attract and retain superior employees for key positions requiring relocation, to attract and appropriately incent our Luxembourg-based Named Executive Officers, we provide those who have relocated to Luxembourg with certain reasonable relocation and foreign living allowances and other benefits. These relocation and foreign living benefits are provided pursuant to the executive's employment agreement and relocation plan and may include housing allowances, personal use of company cars, settling-in allowances, education allowances, goods and services allowances, travel allowances, medical benefits and tax-related benefits such as tax preparation and tax equalization and/or normalization. Tax normalization is an expatriate benefit that compensates the executive for the excess income taxes paid relative to the income taxes the executive would be paying in his or her country of origin.

Please see the Summary Compensation Table under the "Executive Compensation" section for details regarding the relocation benefits received by each Named Executive Officer in 2020.

In March 2021, the Chief Executive Officer informed the Compensation Committee that he voluntarily terminated his housing allowance (beginning on March 1, 2021) as well as the personal use of one company car (effective June 1, 2021).

Minimum Stock Ownership Requirement for the Chief Executive Officer

The Compensation Committee has adopted a minimum stock ownership requirement applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, in line with its belief that the Chief Executive Officer should own a certain amount of stock to align his interests with the interests of our shareholders.


Table of Contents

GRAPHIC

Pursuant to this requirement, the Chief Executive Officer is required to attain and maintain stock ownership at a level equal to three times his base salary, with vested options and restricted stock grants counting toward the satisfaction of this requirement. The minimum number of shares is determined as of the later of (i) the date of the Chief Executive Officer's election or (ii) the date when the Chief Executive Officer first became subject to this policy. The Chief Executive Officer has two years from the effective date of his initial appointment as Chief Executive Officer or from the date on which he first becomes subject to the policy, whichever is later, to comply with this requirement. The minimum stock ownership level will not change as a result of fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common stock. Incremental increases in the level of required stock ownership will be determined as of the effective date of any increase in the annual base salary payable to the Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer currently meets the applicable minimum stock ownership requirement.

The minimum stock ownership requirements for our non-management directors and Chief Executive Officer are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our website at www.altisource.com.

Based on the methodology described above, we estimated our CEO Pay Ratio for 2020 to be 82:1 (253:1 without the cost of living adjustment) as calculated according to the regulations based on the 2020 total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table. Due to the flexibility afforded by Item 402(u) in calculating the CEO Pay Ratio, and our unique employee distribution, the ratio may or may not be comparable to CEO pay ratios presented by other companies.

(1)
These amounts represent the possible non-equity incentive compensation that may have been earned by each Named Executive Officer in 2020 under the different achievement levels presented on their 2020 Annual Incentive Plan's personal scorecards which are more fully discussed in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Performance below threshold generally results in no payout. The 2020 incentive compensation payout was made solely in RSUs and no cash incentive was paid to the Named Executive Officers for the 2020 performance year.

(2)
Granted pursuant to our 2020 Annual Incentive Plan and 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The service-based RSU awards vest in two annual installments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date.

(3)
Granted pursuant to our 2020 LTIP and 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The Type I performance-based RSU awards vest in three annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject each year to meeting of a minimum performance level of fifty percent (50%) on the applicable scorecard for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 service years.

(4)
Granted pursuant to our 2020 LTIP and our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of Type II performance-based RSUs that vest will be determined based on a two-step process. In the first step, the initial target levels (the "Initial Award Size") will be multiplied by the Company's average level of performance versus pre-established goals for 2020, 2021 and 2022. The 2020 goal relates to the amended scorecard metric of "Development of and progress against the plan to reduce Company costs", with the maximum level of achievement for 2020 performance set at eighty percent (80%), with the actual level of achievement to be determined by the Compensation Committee. The 2021 and 2022 goals are tied to 2021 and 2022 adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure). Based on the Company's level of performance versus the adjusted EPS goals over the two-year period (2021 and 2022), the achievement level can be between zero percent (0%) up to one hundred fifty percent (150%). In the second step, the Initial Award Size will be modified based on Altisource's TSR versus the return of the Russell 3000 stock market index during the performance period (2020 to 2022), resulting in a final earned award equal to zero percent (0%) up to one hundred ninety percent (190%) of the Initial Award Size (when originally granted, the final earned award that was possible was two hundred twenty five percent of the Initial Award Size but was reduced as a result of the reduction in the maximum level of achievement for the 2020 scorecard metric). Any earned Type II performance-based RSUs will cliff vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant date and will be settled in shares or, at the Company's option, cash, subject to continued employment unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

(5)
Granted pursuant to our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Time-based RSU awards are scheduled to vest in three annual installments after the grant date, subject to continued employment.

(6)
Granted pursuant to our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Performance-based RSU awards are scheduled to vest as follows:

10% of the award will begin to vest once the average closing price of Altisource's common stock is at or above $20 per share over a period of 30 calendar days (55% above the closing price of Altisource's common stock as of the grant date)

30% of the award will begin to vest once the average closing price of Altisource's common stock is at or above $25 per share over a period of 30 calendar days (93% above the closing price of Altisource's common stock as of the grant date)

40% of the award will begin to vest once the average closing price of Altisource's common stock is at or above $35 per share over a period of 30 calendar days (171% above the closing price of Altisource's common stock as of the grant date)

If the Company does not achieve $1.5 billion of service revenue in a calendar year prior to 2021, the Committee will determine the percentage of options eligible for vesting based on the Company's 2021 levels of performance defined in the applicable award agreement. If the Company's performance is below a threshold level, no options shall be eligible to vest. If the Company's performance falls between pre-determined levels of performance, the percentage of options eligible for vesting will be determined using linear interpolation for performance that falls between such pre-determined levels. Options that are eligible for vesting based on 2021 pre-determined levels of performance will then vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date (April 7, 2022), subject to continued employment except as otherwise set forth in the award agreements. Options that are determined not to be eligible for vesting will be cancelled and forfeited.

The 2021 and 2022 goals are tied to 2021 and 2022 adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP measure). Based on the Company's level of performance versus the adjusted EPS goals over the two-year period (2021 and 2022), the achievement level can be between zero percent (0%) up to one hundred fifty percent (150%). In the second step, the Initial Award Size will be modified based on Altisource's TSR versus the return of the Russell 3000 stock market index during the performance period (2020 to 2022), resulting in a final earned award equal to zero percent (0%) up to one hundred ninety percent (190%) of the Initial Award Size (when originally granted, the final earned award that was possible was two hundred twenty five percent of the Initial Award Size but was reduced as a result of the reduction in the maximum level of achievement for the 2020 scorecard metric).

Proposal Five: Allocation of the Results in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts
Each year, the shareholders of Altisource are required to approve the allocation of the results of the unconsolidated Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. entity, as determined by the Luxembourg Annual Accounts.

Luxembourg law requires that at least five percent (5%) of the net profits, if any, for the Luxembourg Annual Accounts be allocated to a legal reserve; provided, however that an allocation ceases to be compulsory when the legal reserve reaches ten percent (10%) of the share capital of Altisource, but again becomes compulsory when the reserve amount falls below this threshold. As the Company had a net loss pursuant to its Luxembourg Annual Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, no such allocation is required.

As of December 31, 2020,2021, the Luxembourg Annual Accounts for Altisource reflect total assets of $1,150.0$1,140.9 million and a loss for the year then ended of $10.7$11.0 million.

Proposal Eight: Approve the amendment of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by an additional 1.7 million shares

PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Proposal One: Approve an Amendment to offer equity incentive awards under the Plan is criticalCompany’s Articles of Incorporation to our ability to attractRenew and retain high-quality talent, particularly in lightExtend the Current Authorization of the competitive market for talent in which we operate.

On March 23, 2021, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee approved an amendment to our Plan, subjectIssue Shares of the Company’s Common Stock, within the Limits of the Company’s Authorized Share Capital

Pursuant to approval byArticle 5 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital is set at one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) divided into one hundred million (100,000,000) shares with a par value of one dollar ($1) per share, each with the same rights attached as the existing shares.
Additionally, pursuant to Article 5, of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, our shareholders delegated to the Board of Directors, for a period ending on June 13, 2022, the authority to: (i) realize one or more increases of the issued share capital within the limits of the authorized share capital, by the issuance of new shares, against payment in cash or in-kind, by conversion of claims, by the increase of the numberpar value of existing shares or in any other manner; (ii) determine the terms and conditions of any such increase and, more specifically, but not limited to, the place and date of the issuance or the successive issuances, the issue price, the amount of new shares to be issued, whether the new shares are to be issued and subscribed, with or without an issue premium and the terms and conditions of the subscription of and paying up of the new shares (in cash or in-kind); and (iii) limit or waive the preferential subscription right reserved to the then-existing shareholder(s) in case of issuance of shares against payment in cash.
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the flexibility to issue shares of its common stock within the limits of the authorized share capital in order to be able to timely react to circumstances supporting the issuance of such shares (directly or indirectly) at such time or times as the Board of Directors in its discretion deems advisable, including, by way of example, in connection with capital raising, financing and acquisition transactions. The Directors’ report concerning the proposed authorizations will be available for inspection from May 3, 2022 until the conclusion of the Extraordinary Meeting in accordance with article 420-22 (5) of the Luxembourg Company Law.
The Board of Directors also considers it to be in the best interests of the Company to renew the Board of Directors’ current authority to limit or waive any of the preferential rights of shareholders of the Company in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock reserved for issuance understock.
Therefore, the Plan by an additional 1.7 million shares. The Plan was adopted prior to the spin out of the Company from Ocwen in August 2009 and was subsequently ratified by the Altisource Board of Directors on September 22, 2009. This is seeking approval to amend the firstCompany’s Articles of Incorporation to renew and extend its authorization to issue shares of the Company’s common stock within the limits of the Company’s authorized share capital and related authorizations for a period of five (5) years. We are not seeking your approval of a specific issuance of shares. Approval of this proposal will only grant the Board of Directors the authority to issue shares that are already authorized under our Articles of Incorporation upon the terms described above.
The proposed amendment is incorporated in Article 6 of the amended provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement and marked to show the proposed amendment. The above description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix A. We encourage you to carefully read the amended provisions of the Articles of Incorporation in their entirety.
Under Luxembourg law, amendments to the Plan to increasearticles of incorporation of a company require an extraordinary meeting of shareholders. As such, the numberamended provisions of the Articles of Incorporation will be adopted if approved by holders of two-thirds of the shares validly voted provided that a quorum of half of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock since it was originally adopted. We estimate that approximately 660 thousand shares remain availableable to be issued under the Plan. The proposed amendment to increase the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan will ensure that we are able to grant future incentive awards.

We have amended the Plan to provide for, and submit tovoted is reached. If approved by our shareholders for approval, an increaseat this Extraordinary Meeting, the minutes of the Extraordinary Meeting and the amended provisions of the Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Luxembourg trade registry (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) as public documents and will take effect immediately upon publication of the notarial deed recording the minutes of the Extraordinary Meeting in the numberLuxembourg Official Gazette (Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations). The authorizations described herein will end on the fifth anniversary of sharesthe date of common stock that may be issued under the Plan by 1.7 million shares.

Our executive officers and members of our Board of Directors will be eligible to receive awards under the amended Plan and therefore have an interest in this proposal.

Why Our Board Recommends That You Vote in Favor of Proposal Eightsuch publication.

Equity Incentive Awards Are Critical to Long-Term Shareholder Value Creation

Our equity incentive plan is critical to our long-term goal of building shareholder value. As discussed in the "Executive Compensation" section of this proxy statement, equity incentive awards are central to our compensation program and constitute a significant portion of our Named Executive Officers' total direct compensation, as well as incentive compensation for other employees. Our Board and its Compensation Committee believe that our ability to grant equity incentive awards to new and existing employees, directors and eligible consultants has helped us attract, retain and motivate employees with superior ability, experience and leadership capability. Historically, we have issued stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock under the Plan. These forms of equity compensation align the interests of our employees, directors and consultants with the interests of our shareholders, encourage retention and promote actions that result in long-term shareholder value creation.

Our equity incentive program is broad-based. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 13% of our employees had received grants of equity awards and all three of our non-employee directors had received grants of equity awards. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately 2,726 total employees and three non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2020, the Company also had approximately 91 non-employees to whom an offer of employment had been extended by the Company or an affiliate. We believe we must continue to offer a competitive equity compensation plan in order to attract, retain and motivate the industry-leading talent imperative to our continued growth and success.

We Manage Our Equity Incentive Award Use Carefully

We manage our long-term shareholder dilution by limiting the number of equity awards granted annually. The Compensation Committee carefully monitors our total dilution and equity expense to ensure that we maximize shareholder value by granting only the appropriate number of equity awards necessary to attract, retain and motivate employees. In determining the proposed increase to the Plan's share reserve, the

In accordance with the provisions of Article 450-1 67 (8), paragraph 1 of the Law, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to suspend the voting rights of the shareholders who fail to comply with their obligations under these Articles or the provisions of any agreement which may be entered into among the shareholders from time to time.
Art. 23. Procedure, Vote. The general meeting of shareholders will meet upon call by the Board of Directors or the auditor(s) made in compliance with Luxembourg law and the present Articles.

The convening notice sent to the shareholders in accordance with the Law will specify the time and place of the meeting as well as the agenda and the nature of the business to be transacted.
A shareholder may act at any meeting of shareholders by appointing in writing, whether in original or by electronic means (valid under Luxembourg law), as his or her proxy another person who need not be a shareholder and by notifying such appointment by post or by electronic means at the postal or electronic address indicated in the convening notice.
The Board of Directors may determine all other conditions that must be fulfilled in order to take part in a general meeting of shareholders.
Except as otherwise required by the Law or by the present Articles, all other resolutions will be taken by a simple majority of votes irrespective of the number of Shares present or represented at the meeting.
When organizing a general meeting, the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion allow the following forms of participation by electronic means: (i) real time transmission of the general meeting; (ii) real time two-way communication enabling shareholders to address the general meeting from a remote location; or (iii) a mechanism for casting votes, whether before or during the general meeting, without the need to appoint a proxyholder physically present at the meeting.
The Board of Directors may also determine that shareholders may vote from a remote location by correspondence, by completing a voting form provided by the Company which includes the following information:

The name, address and any other pertinent information concerning the shareholder.

The number of votes the shareholder wishes to cast, the direction of his or her votes, or his or her abstention.

The agenda of the meeting including the draft of resolutions.

The option to vote by proxy for any new resolution or any modification of the resolutions properly submitted to the general meeting between the date the shareholder submits his or her form through the meeting date.

The signature of the shareholder.
A shareholder using a voting form and who is not directly recorded in the register of shareholders must annex to the voting form a confirmation of his or her shareholding as of the Record Date as provided in these Articles. Once submitted to the Company, voting forms can neither be retrieved nor cancelled, except that if a shareholder has included a proxy to vote in the circumstances contemplated in the fourth bullet point above, then the shareholder may cancel such proxy or give new voting instructions with regard to the relevant items by written notice as described in the convening notice, before the date specified in the voting form.
Any shareholder who participates in a general meeting of the Company by the forgoing means shall be deemed to be present, shall be counted when determining a quorum and shall be entitled to vote on all agenda items of the general meeting.
The Board of Directors may adopt any regulations and rules concerning the participation of shareholders at general meetings in accordance with the Law, including with respect to ensuring the identification of shareholders and proxyholders and the safety of electronic communications.
Any resolution whose purpose is to amend the present Articles, to change the nationality or whose adoption is subject by virtue of these Articles or, as the case may be, the Law to the quorum and majority rules set for the amendment of the Articles will be taken by two-thirds of shareholders representing at least half of the issued share capital of the Company.
The commitments of the shareholders may be increased only with the unanimous consent of the shareholders.
Shareholders representing at least ten percent (10%) of the Company’s share capital may request in writing that additional items be included on the agenda of any general meeting. Such request shall be addressed to the registered office of the Company by registered letter at least five (5) days before the date on which the general meeting shall be held.

A-8


If all the shareholders are present or represented at a general meeting of shareholders and if they state that they have been informed of the agenda of the meeting, the meeting may be held without prior notice. One vote is attached to each Share.
Copies or extracts of the minutes of the resolutions passed by the general meeting of shareholders shall be certified by the Chairman or by the Secretary.

Art. 24. Financial Year. The Company’s financial year begins on the first day of the month of January and ends on the last day of the month of December every year.
Art. 25. Adoption of Financial Statements. At the end of each financial year, the accounts are closed and the Board of Directors draws up an inventory of assets and liabilities, the balance sheet and the profit and loss account, in accordance with the Law.
The balance sheet and the profit and loss account are submitted to the general meeting of shareholders for approval.
Art. 26. Appropriation of Profits. From the annual net profits of the Company, five percent (5%) shall be allocated to the reserve required by the Law. That allocation will cease to be required as soon and as long as such reserve amounts to ten percent (10%) of the issued share capital of the Company.
Upon recommendation of the Board of Directors, the general meeting of shareholders shall determine how the remainder of the annual net profits will be disposed. It may decide to allocate the whole or part of the remainder to a reserve or to a provision reserve, to carry it forward to the next following financial year or to distribute it to the shareholder(s) as dividends.
Subject to the conditions fixed by the Law and these Articles, the Board of Directors may pay interim dividends. The Board of Directors fixes the amount and the date of payment of any such interim dividends. Any share premium, assimilated premiums and other distributable reserves may be freely distributed to the shareholders (also via an interim dividend) by a resolution of the shareholders or the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the Law and these Articles.
Chapter VI. Dissolution, Liquidation of the Company
Art. 27. Dissolution, Liquidation. Upon the affirmative proposal of the Board of Directors, the Company may be dissolved by a decision of the general meeting of shareholders voting with the same quorum and majority as for the amendment of these Articles, unless otherwise provided by the Law.
Should the Company be dissolved, the liquidation will be carried out by one or more liquidators (who may be physical persons or legal entities) appointed by the general meeting of shareholders, which will determine their powers and their compensation.
After payment of all the debts of and charges against the Company and of the expenses of liquidation, the net assets shall be distributed equally to the shareholders pro rata to the number of the Shares held by them.
Application for dissolution of the Company for just cause may however be made to the court. Except in the case of dissolution by court order, dissolution of the Company may take place only pursuant to a resolution adopted by the shareholders’ meeting in accordance with Articles 22 and 23.
Chapter VII. Applicable Law
