Senior Secured Term Loans
In April 2018, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l., entered into a credit agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, Altisource borrowed $412 million in the form of SSTL. Effective February 14, 2023, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Altisource S.à r.l. entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 2, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain subsidiaries are guarantors of the SSTL (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
The maturity date of the SSTL under the Amended Credit Agreement is April 30, 2025. If Aggregate Paydowns are equal to or greater than $30 million, then (subject to the representations and warranties being true and correct as of such date and there being no default or event of default being in existence as of such date) the maturity date of the SSTL may be extended at the Company’s option to April 30, 2026. Such extension is conditioned upon the Company’s payment of a 2% payment-in-kind extension fee.
In February 2023, the Company made payments of $20 million toward the determination of Aggregate Paydowns.
All amounts outstanding under the SSTL will become due on the earlier of (i) the maturity date, and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or as otherwise provided in the Amended Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default. There are no mandatory repayments of the SSTL except as set forth herein until the April 30, 2025 maturity when the balance is due.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the SSTL is subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, certain casualty and condemnation events and sales of assets, as well as 50% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Altisource may incur incremental indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed $50 million, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.
Through March 29, 2023, the SSTL’s interest rate was the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.00%. Beginning March 30, 2023, the SSTL bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Secured Ovnernight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Base Rate. SOFR term loans initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 5.00% payable in cash plus 5.00% payable in kind (“PIK”). Base Rate loans initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 4.00% payable in cash plus 5.00% PIK. Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) 4.00%. The interest rate as of March 31, 2023 was 14.49%. The PIK component of the interest rate is subject to adjustment based on the amount of Aggregate Paydowns as set forth in the table below. Based on Aggregate Paydowns of $20 million through March 31, 2023, the PIK component of the interest rate declined to 4.50%.

If, as of the end of any calendar quarter, (i) the amount of unencumbered cash and cash equivalents of Altisource S.à r.l. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis plus (ii) the undrawn commitment amount under the Revolver is, or is forecast as of the end of the immediately subsequent calendar quarter to be, less than $35 million, then up to 2.00% in interest otherwise payable in cash in the following quarter may be paid in kind at the Company’s election.
The payment of all amounts owing by Altisource under the Amended Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Guarantors and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Altisource, as well as a lien on substantially all of the assets of Altisource S.à r.l. and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur indebtedness; incur liens on our assets; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; make Restricted Junior Payments including share repurchases, dividends and repayment of junior indebtedness; make investments; dispose of equity interests of any Material Subsidiaries; engage in a line of business substantially different than existing businesses and businesses reasonably related, complimentary or ancillary thereto; amend material debt agreements or other material contracts; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; grant negative pledges or agree to such other restrictions relating to subsidiary dividends and distributions; make changes to our fiscal year; and engage in mergers and consolidations.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain events of default including (i) failure to pay principal when due or interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the Amended Credit Agreement within five days of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of certain other covenants, subject to cure periods described in the Amended Credit Agreement, (iv) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $5.0 million when due, (v) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $5.0 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (vi) occurrence of a Change of Control, (vii) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (viii) entry by a court of one or more judgments against us in an aggregate amount in excess of $10.0 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (ix) the occurrence of certain ERISA events, (x) the failure of certain Loan Documents to be in full force and effect and (xi) failure to comply in any material respects with the terms of the Warrants or the Warrant Purchase Agreement. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.
The lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement received Warrants to purchase 3,223,851 shares of Altisource common stock. The number of Warrant Shares is subject to reduction based on the amount of Aggregate Paydowns (See Note 10 for additional information).
The fair value of the Warrants on February 14, 2023 was $8.1 million and was recorded as an increase in debt discount. In connection with Amendment No. 2, the Company paid $4.8 million to the lenders and to third parties on behalf of the lenders. The $4.8 million payment was recorded as an increase in debt issuance and amendment costs. In connection with Amendment No. 2, the Company paid $3.2 million to advisors and recorded these payments as other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Deer Park Road Management Company, LP (“Deer Park”), a related party, owns approximately 20% of Altisource’s common stock and $44.7 million of Altisource debt under the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023. Deer Park’s Chief Investment Officer and managing partner was a member of Altisource’s Board of Directors until his resignation on March 1, 2022. The replacement director appointed by the Board of Directors is a current employee of Deer Park. In connection with
the Amended Credit Agreement, Deer Park received 583 thousand Warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Deer Park received interest of $0.9 million from the Altisource SSTL.
As of March 31, 2023, debt issuance and amendment costs were $5.1 million, net of $4.2 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2022, debt issuance costs were $0.9 million, net of $3.6 million of accumulated amortization.
Revolver
On June 22, 2021 Altisource S.à r.l, a subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., entered into a revolving credit facility with STS Master Fund, Ltd. (“STS”) (the “Revolver”). STS is an investment fund managed by Deer Park.
The Revolver was amended effective February 14, 2023 (the “Amended Revolver”). Under the terms of the Amended Revolver, STS will make loans to Altisource from time to time, in amounts requested by Altisource and Altisource may voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the outstanding loans at any time. The Amended Revolver provides Altisource the ability to borrow a maximum amount of $15.0 million. Amounts that are repaid may be re-borrowed in accordance with the limitations set forth below.
The maturity date of the Amended Revolver coincides with the maturity date of the SSTL under the Amended Credit Agreement, as it may be extended. The outstanding balance on the Amended Revolver is due and payable on such maturity date.
Borrowings under the Amended Revolver bear interest of 10.00% per annum in cash and 3.00% per annum PIK and are payable quarterly on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. In connection with the Amended Revolver, Altisource is required to pay a usage fee equal to $0.75 million at the initial extension of credit pursuant to the Amended Revolver.
Altisource’s obligations under the Amended Revolver are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, which lien will be pari passu with liens securing the SSTL under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Revolver contains additional representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions customary for transactions of this type, that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability to use the proceeds of credit only for general corporate purposes.
The Amended Revolver contains certain events of default including (i) failure to pay principal when due or interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the Amended Revolver within three business days of becoming due, (ii) failure to perform or observe any material provisions of the Amended Revolver Documents to be performed or complied with and such failure continues for a period of 30 days after written notice is given by the Lender to the Borrower, (iii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iv) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (v) entry by a court of one or more judgments against us in an aggregate amount in excess of $40.0 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (vi) occurrence of a Change of Control, (vii) bankruptcy and insolvency events. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the Amended Revolver or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no outstanding debt under the Amended Revolver and Revolver, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, debt issuance costs were $0.2 million, net of $0.3 million of accumulated amortization, and $0.3 million, net of $0.3 million of accumulated amortization, respectively.
