LUXEMBOURG, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries, today announced that the distribution of its previously disclosed issuance of Stakeholder Warrants will take place on April 3, 2025 (the “Distribution Date”). Altisource previously announced the proposed issuance under Luxembourg law under the authorized share capital mechanism, which is more commonly referred to as a distribution in the United States (the “Warrant Distribution”), of transferable Warrants (as defined below) to holders (collectively, the “Stakeholders”) of Altisource’s (i) common stock (the “Common Stock”), (ii) restricted share units (“RSUs”) and (iii) outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“Penny Warrants”), in each case, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 14, 2025 (the “Distribution Record Date”). The Warrant Distribution was contingent upon, among other things, approval by the Company’s shareholders of the proposals set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on January 3, 2025 and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the previously disclosed Transaction Support Agreement (such conditions, collectively, the “Distribution Conditions”). As the Distribution Conditions have been satisfied, Altisource is proceeding with the Warrant Distribution.

Summary of Certain Terms of the Warrants

The Warrants will be issued by the Company pursuant to a warrant agent agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”).

The Warrant Distribution will include two types of warrants:

• warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock requiring cash settlement through the cash payment to the Company of the exercise price (the “Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants”); and
  
• warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock exercisable on a cashless basis (the “Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants”, and together with the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants, the “Warrants” and each a “Warrant”).
  

Pursuant to the Warrant Distribution, each Stakeholder will receive:

• one Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrant to purchase 1.625 shares of Common Stock for each (a) share of Common Stock held as of the Distribution Record Date, (b) RSU held as of the Distribution Record Date and (c) share of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise of Penny Warrants held as of the Distribution Record Date; and
• one Net Settle Stakeholder Warrant to purchase 1.625 shares of Common Stock for each (a) share of Common Stock held as of the Distribution Record Date, (b) RSU held as of the Distribution Record Date and (c) share of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise of Penny Warrants held as of the Distribution Record Date.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from the Company 1.625 shares, subject to certain adjustments, of Common Stock at an Exercise Price of $1.95 per Warrant (initially equal to $1.20 per share of Common Stock). The Warrants may be exercised beginning on the later of (i) July 2, 2025 and (ii) the first date on which the VWAP (as defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement) of the common stock equals or exceeds the Implied Per Share Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement) of the Warrants, which is initially $1.20, for a period of fifteen consecutive Trading Days (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement). Upon exercise of Warrants, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock or pay cash in lieu thereof. If a Stakeholder would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants, the Company will first aggregate the total number of shares Common Stock a Stakeholder would receive upon exercise of the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants or the Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants, as applicable, and then round down the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Stakeholder to the nearest whole number.

The Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants, if not previously exercised or terminated, will expire on April 2, 2029. The Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants, if not previously exercised or terminated, will expire on April 30, 2032.

The Company has applied to list the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants and the Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbols, ASPSZ and ASPSW, respectively. No assurance can be provided that such applications will be approved.

The forgoing summary of certain of the terms of the Warrants is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agent Agreement, which will be filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K expected filed with the SEC on or before April 3, 2025.
