SALE OF BUSINESS

In August 2018, Altisource entered into an amendment to its agreements with RESI to sell Altisource’s rental property management business to RESI and permit RESI to internalize certain services that had been provided by Altisource. These services were historically provided under an agreement between RESI and Altisource, in which Altisource was the sole provider of rental property management services to RESI through December 2027. The proceeds from the transaction totaled $18.0 million, payable in two installments. The first installment of $15.0 million was received on the closing date of August 8, 2018. The second installment of $3.0 million will be received on the earlier of a RESI change of control or on August 8, 2023. The second installment was recorded as a long-term receivable with a discounted value of $2.2 million as of September 30, 2018 in Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the sale of the rental property management business, the Company recognized a pretax gain of $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2018 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
