PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

General Information

We have made this proxy statement available to you on or about April [    ], 2014 as a holder of common stock of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. ("Altisource" or the "Company") because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to be used at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders and at any adjournment or postponement of this meeting. The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held at our registered office located at 40, avenue Monterey, L-2163 Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on Wednesday, May 21, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., Central European Time for the purposes listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

How a Proxy Works

If you properly complete, sign and return your proxy to Altisource and do not revoke it prior to its use, it will be voted in accordance with your instructions. Other than as discussed below with respect to broker "non-votes," if no contrary instructions are given, each proxy received will be voted for each of the nominees for Director; for approval of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to be our independent registered certified public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014 and Deloitte Audit S.à r.l. to be our certified auditor for all statutory accounts as required by Luxembourg law for the same period; for approval of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.'s annual accounts prepared in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "Luxembourg Annual Accounts") and its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP including a footnote reconciliation of equity and net income to IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "Consolidated Accounts") (together, the "Luxembourg Statutory Accounts"); for receipt and approval of the Directors' reports for the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts; for allocation of the results and part of the distributable reserve in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts; for approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of Altisource's named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement ("Say-on-Pay"); for approval of the compensation for the Chairperson of our Compliance Committee; for approval of the discharge of each of the current and past Directors of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. for the performance of their mandate during the year ended December 31, 2013 and with regard to any other business that properly comes before the meeting in accordance with the best judgment of the persons appointed as proxies.

How to Revoke a Proxy

Your proxy may be used only at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and any adjournment or postponement of this meeting and will not be used for any other meeting. You have the power to revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by:

Who May Vote

Under Luxembourg law, you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders if you are a holder of record of our common stock on the meeting date or, if you hold our common stock through a clearing agency, you are a holder as of midnight, Luxembourg time on the fourteenth day prior to the meeting date. For purposes of establishing those holders to whom proxies will be mailed, our Board of Directors has set a record date and time of the close of business on March 24, 2014. At the close of business on March 24, 2014, there were 22,337,370 shares of common stock issued, outstanding and able to be voted and no other class of equity securities outstanding. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on all matters properly presented.

Quorum and Voting Information

The presence at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of holders of a majority of the votes of our common stock entitled to be cast, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" will be treated as present for purposes of a quorum.

Assuming a quorum, the five (5) nominees for Director will be elected as Directors of Altisource so long as the votes cast in favor of each such person exceed the votes cast to withhold authority for such person. You may vote in favor of or withhold authority to vote for one (1) or more nominees for Director.

The following proposals will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action: the proposal to approve the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to be our independent registered certified public accounting firm for 2014 and Deloitte Audit S.à r.l. to be our certified auditor for all statutory accounts as required by Luxembourg law for the same period; the proposal to approve the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts; the proposal to receive and approve the Directors' reports for the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts; the proposal to allocate the results and part of the distributable reserve in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts; the advisory vote to approve the compensation of Altisource's named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement ("Say-on-Pay"); the proposal to approve the compensation for the Chairperson of our Compliance Committee; the proposal to approve the discharge of each of the current and past Directors of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. for the performance of their mandate during the year ended December 31, 2013 and any other matter properly submitted for your consideration at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (other than the election of Directors).

Abstentions will not be counted in determining the votes cast in connection with the foregoing matters. Brokers may not vote on behalf of their clients in connection with the proposals regarding the election of Directors and "Say-on-Pay," so any broker "non-votes" will not be counted in determining the votes cast in these proposals. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a shareholder has not provided voting instructions to his or her broker on a non-routine item.

While our Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the shareholder vote resulting from the Say-on-Pay proposal, the final vote will not be binding on us and is advisory in nature.

If the shares you own are held in "street name" by a bank or brokerage firm, your bank or brokerage firm, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. To vote your shares, you will need to follow the directions your bank or brokerage firm provides you. You will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials that will tell you how to access our proxy materials and vote your shares via the Internet. It also will tell you how to request a paper or e-mail copy of our proxy materials. Please contact your bank or brokerage firm for further information. If you are a shareholder of record, you will receive a Proxy Card that will tell you how to vote your shares via the Internet, telephone or mail.

We are proposing the five (5) nominees listed below for election as Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for a one (1) year term or until their successors are elected and qualified. All nominees currently serve as our Directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between any nominee and any other person for selection as a nominee.

If any nominee is unable or unwilling to stand for election at the time of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the person or persons appointed as proxies will nominate and vote for a replacement nominee or nominees recommended by our Board of Directors.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors plays an active role in overseeing management and representing the interests of the shareholders. Directors are expected to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors, the meetings of committees on which they serve and the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Directors are also consulted for advice and counsel between formal meetings.

Our Board of Directors held six (6) meetings in 2013. Each incumbent Director attended 100% of these meetings as well as the meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which they served during the period. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding Director attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our Directors are expected to attend. All of the incumbent members of our Board of Directors attended our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Independence of Directors

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board of Directors must be comprised of a majority of Directors who qualify as independent Directors under NASDAQ listing standards and applicable law.

Our Board of Directors annually reviews the direct and indirect relationships that we have with each Director. 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 NASDAQ and applicable law. The Board of Directors also considers beneficial ownership of our common stock by each of the Directors, as set forth under "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Related Shareholder Matters," although our Board of Directors generally believes that stock ownership tends to further align a Director's interests with those of our other shareholders. Our current Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Erbey, Linn, Müller-Ineichen and Vättö are independent Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors retains the discretion to make this determination on a case-by-case basis from time to time as it deems to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders at any given time. The Board of Directors currently believes that separating the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman is the best structure to fit the Company's needs. As our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shepro is responsible for our day-to-day operations and for formulating and executing our long-term strategies in collaboration with the Board of Directors. As Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Erbey leads the Board and oversees meetings of the Board of Directors and the delivery of information necessary for the Board's informed decision-making.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Nomination/Governance Committee and an Executive Committee. A brief description of these committees is provided below.

Audit Committee.    The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors oversees the relationship with our independent registered certified public accounting firm, reviews and advises our Board of Directors

9


with respect to reports by our independent registered certified public accounting firm and monitors our compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our operations, including the evaluation of significant matters relating to the financial reporting process and our system of accounting, internal controls, auditing and federal securities law matters and the review of the scope and results of the annual audit conducted by the independent registered certified public accounting firm.

The members of the Audit Committee for 2013 were Messrs. Müller-Ineichen, Linn and Vättö, with Mr. Müller-Ineichen serving as the Chairman. Each member of our Audit Committee is independent as defined in regulations adopted by the SEC and NASDAQ listing standards. Our Board of Directors has determined that all members of our Audit Committee are financially literate, possess accounting or related financial management experience that results in the individual's financial sophistication within the meaning of NASDAQ listing standards and qualify as audit committee financial experts as that term is defined in SEC rules. Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.altisource.com and is available in print to any shareholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and approves its charter. The Committee evaluates its performance under its charter and delivers a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Audit Committee in February 2014. The Committee met nine (9) times in 2013. The Committee met in executive session with both the Company's internal and external auditors five (5) times, solely with the Company's internal auditors two (2) times and solely with the Company's external auditors five (5) times in 2013.

Compensation Committee.    The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors oversees our compensation and employee benefit plans and practices. Our Compensation Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors for human resource and compensation matters relating to our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel and subsequently approves all executive compensation plans, any executive severance or termination arrangements and any equity compensation plans that are not subject to shareholder approval. The Compensation Committee also has the power to review our other compensation plans, including the goals and objectives thereof and to recommend changes to these plans to our Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has authority to administer awards under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent compensation consultants, counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary in connection with its responsibilities at the Company's expense. In determining whether a compensation consultant, counsel or other adviser is independent, the Compensation Committee considers all factors set forth in SEC rules and the NASDAQ listing standards with respect to adviser independence, as well as any other factors the Compensation Committee deems relevant. The Compensation Committee may request that any of our Directors, officers, employees or other persons attend its meetings to provide advice, counsel or pertinent information as the Committee requests.

In setting the compensation for our Chief Financial Officer in the first quarter of 2013, our Compensation Committee conducted compensation benchmarking with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, Exequity LLP ("Exequity"). Exequity reviewed the pay level for our Chief Financial Officer compared to pay levels among our peer companies, as analyzed by management, to help identify the competitive positioning of our pay practices. Additionally, our Compensation Committee engaged Exequity in the first quarter of 2014 to ensure that Altisource's peer group for any future compensation benchmarking study is comprised of the most appropriate benchmark companies. Please see "Role of Compensation Consultant" and "Compensation Increase for Our Chief Financial Officer" in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis for further information.

The members of the Compensation Committee for 2013 were Messrs. Vättö, Linn and Müller-Ineichen, with Mr. Vättö serving as the Chairman. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent

10


as defined by NASDAQ listing standards, as revised in 2013. While we have no specific qualification requirements for members of the Compensation Committee, our members have knowledge and experience regarding compensation matters as developed through their respective business experience in both management and advisory roles, including general business management, executive compensation and employee benefits experience. We feel that their collective achievements and knowledge provide us with extensive diversity in experience, culture and viewpoints. The Corporate Secretary develops the meeting calendar for the year based on committee member availability and other relevant events within our Company calendar. Compensation Committee meeting agendas are generally developed by our Corporate Secretary and our Compensation Committee chairperson. Generally, at the end of each scheduled meeting, all participants other than the Compensation Committee members withdraw from the meeting and the Compensation Committee meets in executive session.

Our Compensation Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.altisource.com and is available in print to any shareholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves its charter. The Committee evaluates its performance under its charter and delivers a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Compensation Committee in February 2014. The Committee met four (4) times in 2013.

Certain executives are involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation programs, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel, who may be present at Compensation Committee meetings, except that the Chief Executive Officer may not be present during any voting or deliberations on his compensation. These executives annually review the performance of each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer, whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chairman of the Board without the presence of the Chief Executive Officer) and present their conclusions and recommendations regarding incentive award amounts to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and approval. The Committee can exercise its discretion in accepting, rejecting and/or modifying any such executive compensation recommendations; however, executive compensation matters are generally delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel for development and execution.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.    No member of the Compensation Committee was at any time during the 2013 fiscal year or at any other time an officer or employee of the Company, and no member had any relationship with us requiring disclosure under Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K. None of our named executive officers has served on the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or had one (1) or more named executive officers who served as a member of our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee during the 2013 fiscal year.

Compliance Committee.    In October 2013, our Board of Directors established a Compliance Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to (i) establish and oversee the compliance function for the Company and its subsidiaries, including its compliance management system, (ii) oversee the Company's compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and (iii) perform such other duties as may be prescribed pursuant to its charter.

The members of the Compliance Committee are Messrs. Linn, Müller-Ineichen and Vättö. Mr. Linn was appointed Chairman of the Committee upon its formation. Each member of the Compliance Committee is independent as defined in NASDAQ listing standards.

Our Compliance Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.altisource.com and is available in print to any

11


shareholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Compliance Committee will review and approve its charter. The Compliance Committee will also evaluate its performance under its charter and deliver a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Committee in February 2014. The Committee met one (1) time in 2013.

Nomination/Governance Committee.    The Nomination/Governance Committee of our Board of Directors makes recommendations to our Board of Directors of individuals qualified to serve as Directors and committee members for our Board of Directors; advises our Board of Directors with respect to Board of Directors composition, procedures and committees; develops and presents our Board of Directors with a set of corporate governance principles and oversees the evaluation of our Board of Directors and our management.

The members of the Nomination/Governance Committee during 2013 were Messrs. Erbey, Linn, Müller-Ineichen and Vättö. In October 2013, Mr. Erbey replaced Mr. Linn as Chairman of the Committee. Each member of our Nomination/Governance Committee is independent as defined in NASDAQ listing standards.

Our Nomination/Governance Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.altisource.com and is available in print to any shareholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Nomination/Governance Committee reviews and approves its charter. The Committee evaluates its performance under its charter and delivers a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Nomination/Governance Committee in February 2014. The Committee met four (4) times in 2013.

It is the policy of our Nomination/Governance Committee to consider candidates for Director recommended by you, our shareholders. In evaluating all nominees for Director, our Nomination/Governance Committee takes into account the applicable requirements for Directors under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and NASDAQ listing standards. In addition, our Nomination/Governance Committee takes into account Altisource's best interests as well as such factors as knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, diversity and the interplay of the candidate's experience with the background of other members of our Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Company's Diversity Policy, the Nomination/Governance Committee considers diversity when it recommends Director nominees to the Board of Directors, viewing diversity in an expansive way to include differences in prior work experience, viewpoint, education and skill set. In particular, the Nomination/Governance Committee considers diversity in professional experience, skills, expertise, training, broad-based business knowledge and understanding of the Company's business environment when recommending Director nominees to the Board of Directors, with the objective of achieving a Board with diverse business and educational backgrounds. Board members should have individual backgrounds that, when combined, provide a portfolio of experience and knowledge that will serve the Company's governance and strategic needs. The Nomination/Governance Committee periodically reviews the skills and attributes of Board members within the context of the current make-up of the full Board of Directors as the Nomination/Governance Committee deems appropriate. The Nomination/Governance Committee does not discriminate against candidates for the Board of Directors based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation or national origin.

The Nomination/Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are anticipated. Various potential candidates for Director are then identified. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nomination/Governance Committee through current members of the Board of Directors, professional search firms, shareholders or industry sources.

12


In evaluating a particular candidate, the Nomination/Governance Committee will consider factors other than the candidate's qualifications including the current composition of the Board of Directors, the balance of management and independent Directors, the need for Audit Committee expertise and the evaluation of other prospective nominees.

In connection with this evaluation, one or more members of the Nomination/Governance Committee, and others as appropriate, interview prospective nominees. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Nomination/Governance Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board of Directors as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors determines the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Nomination/Governance Committee. Should you recommend a candidate for Director, our Nomination/Governance Committee would evaluate such candidate in the same manner that it evaluates any other nominee. To date, no shareholder or group of shareholders owning more than 5% of our common stock has put forth any Director nominees.

If you want to recommend persons for consideration by our Nomination/Governance Committee as nominees for election to our Board of Directors, you can do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., 40, avenue Monterey, L-2163 Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. You should provide each proposed nominee's name, biographical data and qualifications. Your recommendation should also include a written statement from the proposed nominee consenting to be named as a nominee and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a Director. For consideration at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we must receive your recommendations by December 8, 2014.

Executive Committee.    Our Executive Committee is generally responsible to act on behalf of our Board of Directors during the intervals between meetings of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has authorized the Committee to approve and/or to designate in writing certain individuals to approve ordinary course of business actions that are required to be documented by counterparties but do not require action by the Board of Directors or its committees. Such actions would include approving, signing and executing checks and electronic funds transmissions, dissolving or merging our wholly-owned subsidiaries and performing such other ministerial actions on such terms, conditions and limits as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion. The Executive Committee operates under a written charter, which is approved by our Board of Directors on an annual basis. The charter was last reviewed by the Board of Directors in February 2014. The Committee did not take any formal action in 2013.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by our Board of Directors provide guidelines for us and our Board of Directors to ensure effective corporate governance. The Corporate Governance Guidelines cover topics such as Director qualification standards, Board of Directors and committee composition, Director responsibilities, Director access to management and independent advisors, Director compensation, Director orientation and continuing education, management succession and annual performance appraisals of the Board of Directors.

Our Nomination/Governance Committee reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines at least once a year and, if necessary, recommends changes to our Board of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines were last reviewed by the Nomination/Governance Committee and the Board of Directors in February 2014. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at www.altisource.com and are available to any shareholder who requests them by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., 40, avenue Monterey, L-2163 Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our Directors, officers and employees as required by SEC rules or NASDAQ listing standards. We have also adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer. Any waivers from the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors or named executive officers or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers must be approved by our Board of Directors or the Audit Committee and will be subsequently disclosed when required by SEC rules or NASDAQ listing standards. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are available on our website at www.altisource.com and are available to any shareholder who requests a copy by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 40, avenue Monterey, L-2163 Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed under SEC rules or NASDAQ listing standards, either will be posted on our website or otherwise disclosed in accordance with such rules.

Risk Management and Oversight Process

Our Board of Directors and each of its committees are involved in the oversight of the Company's risk management.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee monitor Altisource's credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, regulatory risk and enterprise risk by regular reviews with management and internal and external auditors. In its periodic meetings with internal and external auditors, the Audit Committee discusses the scope and plan for the internal audit and includes management in its review of accounting and financial controls and assessment of business risks. The Board of Directors and the Compliance Committee monitor Altisource's overall compliance function, including the compliance management system, and Altisource's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and related risks, by regular reviews with management and internal auditors. At least quarterly, the Compliance Committee reviews and discusses with management the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and compliance programs.

In its periodic meetings with the external auditors, the Audit Committee discusses the external audit scope, the external auditors' responsibility under the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), accounting policies and practices and other required communications. In addition, through regular reviews with management, the Nomination/Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring the Company's governance and succession risks, and the Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring the Company's compensation policies and related risks.

The Board of Directors' role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company's leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company's risk exposure, and our Chairman, the Board of Directors and its committees providing oversight in connection with these efforts.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction, 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 value. We seek to provide our executives with long-term incentive opportunities that promote consistent, high-level financial performance and individual service longevity. The Compensation Committee evaluates both performance and compensation annually to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To achieve these objectives, we generally believe executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that rewards performance as measured against established goals.

This compensation discussion and analysis provides information regarding the following:

Our named executive officers for 2013 are:

Name
  Position
William B. Shepro   Chief Executive Officer
Kevin J. Wilcox   Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel
Michelle D. Esterman   Chief Financial Officer

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

Certain executives are involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation programs including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel, who are typically present at Compensation Committee meetings, except that the Chief Executive Officer may not be present during any voting or deliberations on his or her compensation. These executives annually review the performance of each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer, whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chairman of the Board without the presence of the Chief Executive Officer) and present their conclusions and recommendations regarding incentive award amounts to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and approval. The Committee can exercise its discretion in accepting, rejecting and/or modifying any such executive compensation recommendations; however, executive compensation matters are generally delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel for development and execution.

Role of Compensation Consultant

To further the objectives of our compensation program, in the first quarter of 2013 our Compensation Committee conducted an analysis of the compensation level of our Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with Exequity, the Committee's independent compensation consultant, pursuant to the Compensation Committee's continuing engagement with Exequity. As part of its analysis, Exequity provided research and presented information to the Committee related to compensation trends and "best practices" in executive compensation among the then-current peer group companies in a similar line of business and of similar size to Altisource. Executive compensation data and other resources

20


reviewed by Exequity set the foundation for the Committee's review and analysis of executive compensation levels. Please see "Compensation Increase for Our Chief Financial Officer" for information on the peer group companies the Compensation Committee used in its analysis of our Chief Financial Officer's compensation.

Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, the Compensation Committee engaged Exequity to conduct an analysis to ensure that Altisource's peer group for any future compensation benchmarking is comprised of the most appropriate benchmark companies.

As part of its analysis, Exequity provided research and presented information to the Committee related to appropriate peer group companies for Altisource, taking into consideration many factors, including industry, company size (based on revenues, market capitalization and number of employees), recent growth, similarities in product and service offerings, financial results and operational complexity. To ensure all relevant companies were considered, Exequity's analysis started by casting a wide net for all public companies whose compensation details are publicly available and who are classified as operating in similar industries. This initial list was then filtered and refined based on a reasonable matching to a combination of the factors described above.

The resulting group of 18 peer companies includes 10 of the 14 companies included in Altisource's prior peer group, which remain relevant based on the stated parameters, and an additional 8 companies, as follows.

Companies from Altisource's prior peer group:

New peer companies:

Based on its consideration of the various factors as set forth in SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards, the Compensation Committee determined that Exequity is independent and that Exequity's work raised no conflict of interest.

Employment Agreements

As required by Luxembourg law, Altisource has entered into employment agreements with William B. Shepro, our Chief Executive Officer, Kevin J. Wilcox, our Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel and Michelle D. Esterman, our Chief Financial Officer. The employment terms continue

21


indefinitely until the executive's separation from the Company. The agreements provide for a base salary and annual incentive compensation based on the satisfaction of relevant performance criteria. In addition, the executives may receive benefits such as health care or a contributory retirement plan. Altisource reimburses each executive for reasonable costs properly incurred by such executive in the course of his or her employment with the Company including, without limitation, reimbursement of relocation expenses and the provision of certain allowances as described in the Executive Compensation section below.

In order to terminate the agreement, each party must provide notice in accordance with the time periods set forth in article L.124-1 of the Luxembourg Labor Code. In the event of the executive's termination by the Company for "cause" ("motifs graves"), no notice is required. In addition, in the event that the executive's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" or, in some instances, the executive resigns for "good reason," the executive will receive severance benefits. Furthermore, the executive may be entitled to receive redundancy payments in accordance with article L.124-7 of the Luxembourg Labor Code upon certain terminations.

The agreements also provide for a covenant to maintain our confidential information and to enter into an intellectual property agreement. In addition, the executive is bound by non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a minimum period of one (1) year following the termination of the agreement. The agreements are governed, interpreted and performed by and in accordance with the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Elements of Compensation

The current compensation package for our named executive officers consists of base salary and annual incentive compensation. This compensation structure was developed in order to provide each named executive officer with a competitive salary while emphasizing an incentive compensation element that is tied to the achievement of corporate goals and strategic initiatives as well as individual performance. We believe that the following elements of compensation are appropriate in light of our performance, industry, current challenges and environment.

Base Salary.    Base salaries for our named executive officers are established based on individual qualifications and job responsibilities while taking into account compensation levels at similarly situated companies in our peer group for similar positions.

Base salaries of the named executive officers are reviewed annually during the performance appraisal process with adjustments made based on market information, internal review of the executive officer's compensation in relation to other officers, individual performance of the executive officer and corporate performance. Salary levels are also considered upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Salary adjustment recommendations are based on our overall performance and an analysis of compensation levels necessary to maintain and attract quality personnel. The Compensation Committee sets the base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and approves the base salaries for all other named executive officers.

2013 Annual Incentive Compensation.    Pursuant to an annual incentive plan, a participant can earn cash, restricted stock and stock option awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. The plan provides the Compensation Committee and our management with the authority to establish incentive award guidelines which are further discussed below.

Each named executive officer has a targeted annual cash incentive award that is expressed as a percentage of his or her annual cash total target compensation. In 2013, 40–60% of total annual cash target compensation was payable only upon achievement of certain minimum Company and individual performance levels. The appropriate targeted percentage varies based upon the nature and scope of each named executive officer's responsibilities. The table below reflects the percentage of each named

executive officer's target total annual cash compensation that was allocated to each of base salary and incentive compensation in 2013 and each named executive officer's actual total annual cash compensation that was allocated to each of base salary and incentive compensation in 2013:

Our annual incentive-based cash compensation is structured to motivate executives to achieve pre-established key performance indicators by rewarding the executives for such achievement. This is accomplished by utilizing a balanced scorecard methodology which incorporates multiple financial and non-financial performance indicators developed through our annual strategic planning process to enhance Company performance and long-term shareholder value. This corporate scorecard is approved annually by the Compensation Committee and/or the full Board of Directors and is utilized by the Compensation Committee as a factor to determine the appropriate amount of incentive compensation to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. During development of the corporate scorecard each year, the Compensation Committee considers the level of difficulty associated with attainment of each goal in the scorecard. The intent of the Compensation Committee is to establish the target goal at a level that is challenging to achieve. For 2013, our corporate scorecard was approved by our Board of Directors at its meeting on February 12, 2013. Certain amendments to our corporate scorecard were approved by our Board of Directors at subsequent Board of Directors meetings.

Our corporate scorecard for 2013, as amended, and corresponding achievement levels are detailed below:

The incentive award for our Chief Executive Officer is structured so that compensation opportunities are related to (i) the Company's performance versus the objectives established in the corporate scorecard (80%) and (ii) a performance appraisal (20%). The incentive awards of our other named executive officers are structured so that compensation opportunities are related to (i) performance within the corporate, business unit or support unit scorecard as expressly assigned in each executive's scorecard (80%) (of which 50% or more is weighted on Corporate Financial Objectives) and (ii) a performance appraisal (20%).

The components in each scorecard are weighted individually based on relevance to the ultimate financial performance of the Company and the importance of the achievement to the success of our corporate strategy. Within each component of the scorecard, there are three (3) established levels of achievement: threshold, target and outstanding. Each level of achievement is tied to a relative point on a percentage scale which indicates the executive officer's level of goal achievement within each component of the scorecard. Achieving the threshold level of achievement will earn the executive officer 50% of the target incentive compensation tied to such goal; the target level of achievement will earn the executive officer 100% of the target incentive compensation tied to such goal and the outstanding level of achievement will earn the executive officer 150% of the target incentive compensation tied to such goal. Any achievement below the threshold level will not entitle the executive to compensation for the associated goal.

25


The goals and initiatives are further cascaded down through the organization to all of our incentive-eligible employees in their personal scorecards which are tied to performance against goals that are directly linked to corporate profitability and the achievement of our corporate strategic initiatives. The scorecards are communicated to all incentive-eligible employees by the Human Resources Department or the employee's immediate supervisor and are available to employees in our performance management tracking system. Performance against such scorecards is reviewed with senior management on a monthly basis through monthly business reviews and after the end of each year. This incentive compensation structure is intended to align the goals of our incentive-eligible employees with the overall success of the Company, while establishing clear performance standards within their respective business or support units.

The 2013 personal scorecards for our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers and their corresponding levels of achievement are as follows:

As noted above, the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers have 20% of their incentive compensation determined by their performance appraisal for the service year. Each of our named executive officers performs a self-assessment as to his or her performance against his or her goals for the applicable year. Our Chief Executive Officer utilizes these assessments, as well as his own observations, to prepare a written performance appraisal for each of the other executive officers. These performance appraisals rate performance based on objective criteria related to two key factors: (i) the executive's ability to improve and develop their organization throughout the year and (ii) the executive's strategic contributions to the direction of the Company.

The Chief Executive Officer's scorecard performance and personal performance appraisal are determined by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chairman taking into consideration whether the Company's performance and corresponding incentive results present a fair representation of the Chief Executive Officer's performance.

26


For our executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, in conjunction with the Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel, presents the personal scorecard performance and the performance appraisal scores to the Compensation Committee and makes recommendations as to the incentive compensation for each executive officer. The Compensation Committee evaluates the recommendations in light of the Company's overall performance and the executive's business unit or support unit's performance and makes the final compensation award determinations for each executive. Annual incentive compensation is paid to our executives and other incentive-eligible employees following this determination. For 2013, incentive compensation was awarded accordingly. Please see the Summary Compensation Table under "Executive Compensation" for the actual amounts awarded in 2013.

Compensation Increase for Our Chief Financial Officer

As disclosed in the Company's proxy statement in connection with the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, in the first quarter of 2013, our Compensation Committee most recently conducted compensation benchmarking with the assistance of its compensation consultant, Exequity. Exequity assisted the Compensation Committee in reviewing the compensation levels for the Chief Financial Officer. Exequity reviewed the pay level for the Chief Financial Officer compared to pay levels among our peer companies, as analyzed by management, to help identify the competitive positioning of our pay practices.

In order to provide a robust array of pay benchmarking data, Exequity reviewed executive pay among two sets of companies:

All information was obtained from publicly available proxy disclosures and included base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation.

Based on the benchmarking analyses, performance, retention and other relevant considerations, the Compensation Committee reviewed recommendations and determined the appropriate base salary and annual incentive compensation target for the Chief Financial Officer in the first quarter of 2013.

Please see "Role of Compensation Consultant" for further information regarding our use of an independent compensation consultant.

The Board of Directors approved the following increase to the base salary of the Chief Financial Officer, effective as of March 1, 2013:

  New Base

  Resulting Base

Michelle D. Esterman,
Chief Financial Officer

  $282,900   $315,000   11
 

27


The Board of Directors determined that the ratio of the base compensation and the incentive compensation to the total compensation would remain the same. The target incentive compensation for the Chief Financial Officer was therefore increased by the same percentage as the base salary:

Ms. Esterman's employment contract was amended accordingly.

Statutory Compensation Increases.    Under article L.223-1 of the Luxembourg Labor Code, all compensation owed pursuant to an employment agreement is required to be adapted based upon the cost of living index in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. On October 1, 2013, there was a required two and a half percent (2.5%) increase in compensation pursuant to this law. The base salaries for our named executive officers and the incentive compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel were adjusted accordingly.

2014 Annual Incentive Compensation.    Generally, at the first Board of Directors meeting of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the corporate scorecard and annual incentive components for the Chief Executive Officer and other executives for the upcoming year. The Company's 2014 key performance indicators have been developed and were approved by the Board of Directors by unanimous written consent on December 14, 2013 and ratified at the February 11, 2014 Board of Directors meeting.

The corporate scorecard for 2014 includes achieving an overall revenue target, achieving business segment specific revenue and pre-tax income targets and achieving an earnings per share target. In addition, the corporate scorecard provides for successful completion of strategic initiatives established to enhance long-term corporate and shareholder value.

The 2014 corporate strategic initiatives relate to:

Setting Compensation Levels

We believe our executive compensation programs are effectively designed and working well in alignment with the interests of our shareholders and are instrumental to achieving our business strategy. In determining executive compensation for fiscal year 2013, our Compensation Committee considered the overwhelming shareholder support that the Say-on-Pay proposal received at our May 18, 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As a result, our Compensation Committee continued to apply the same effective principles and philosophy it has used in previous years in determining executive compensation and will continue to consider shareholder concerns and feedback in the future, including the results of the Say-on-Pay proposal being presented to shareholders pursuant to this proxy statement. Following the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the next Say-on-Pay vote will occur at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

28


From time to time, the Company conducts benchmarking on Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officer compensation among peer companies of comparable size, industry, location and similar attributes that may compete with Altisource for qualified management talent.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee, in cooperation with senior management, implemented the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders in 2009 in connection with our separation from Ocwen. The purpose of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is to provide additional incentives to key employees to make extraordinary contributions to the Company, to assist with the retention of key employees and to align the interests of our employees with the interests of our shareholders. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and authorizes the award of restricted stock, options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights or other equity-based awards to our employees. Options awarded under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan may be either "incentive stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or nonqualified stock options, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Each award granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is evidenced by a written award agreement between the participant and us, which describes the award and states the terms and conditions to which the award is subject. If any shares subject to award are forfeited or if any award terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, shares of common stock subject to such award will again be available for future awards.

Based upon a review of current outstanding awards, and finding that these awards adequately met the objectives of our compensation philosophy, no equity awards were granted to our named executive officers pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan during the 2013 fiscal year.

Stock Ownership Policies

Although we do not have stock ownership requirements, our philosophy is that equity ownership by our Directors and executives is important to attract, motivate, retain and align their interests with the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company's equity incentive plans are adequate to achieve this philosophy. We also maintain a management directive detailing our trading window period policy for Directors, executive officers and other employees and our insider trading policy.

Other Compensation

The Compensation Committee's policy with respect to other employee benefit plans is to provide benefits to our employees, including our executive officers, that are 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.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

Below is a description of the amounts payable to each named executive officer assuming the executive's employment had terminated under various scenarios, or a change of control had occurred, on December 31, 2013 (the last business day of fiscal year 2013). Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits under the various scenarios, actual amounts paid or distributed may be different.

As noted above, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel have entered into employment agreements with the Company. Under these agreements, if employment is terminated by the executive's retirement or disability, as defined therein,

29


the Company will pay all standard relocation costs to relocate the officer to the United States. If the Company terminates the employment of the officer other than for "cause" ("motifs graves") and, in some instances, where employment is terminated for "good reason" by the officer, the Company is obligated to make a cash payment of between four and twelve months' salary. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel, the Company will be obligated to pay one (1) year's target incentive compensation in such instance. Additionally, in the event that the Company terminates the employment of the officer other than for "cause" after October 1 of the service year and before incentives are paid for the prior service year, the officer is entitled to receive incentive compensation for such service year. In these instances, the Company will also pay all standard relocation costs to relocate the officer to the United States. If the officer is terminated by the Company for "cause," the Company may terminate without notice and with no liability to make any further payment to the executive, other than amounts accrued and unpaid at the date of termination.

All named executive officers have options granted pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. A portion of the options vest over time in equal installments (the "Service-Based Options"), and the remaining options will vest based on applicable Company performance (the "Market-Based Options"). Upon termination of an executive officer's employment other than for cause, the executive officer would be entitled to retain any vested portion of prior equity awards granted as well as any unvested Market-Based Options where the vesting hurdles have already been achieved. Additionally, upon termination of an executive officer's employment without cause or upon his or her retirement, the executive officer would be entitled to retain unvested Market-Based Options where the vesting hurdles are achieved within ninety (90) days of the termination. Generally, for termination not due to death, disability or retirement, the executive officer has six (6) months within which to exercise stock options pursuant to our stock option agreements. Any portion of an equity award not vested will be forfeited in any circumstance unless alternate arrangements are made in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Furthermore, pursuant to each stock option agreement, upon termination of an executive for cause, all outstanding stock options awarded pursuant to such stock option agreement are forfeited.

Certain of the stock option agreements provide for accelerated vesting as set forth below. Upon a named executive officer's retirement, disability, death, termination by the Company without "cause" or termination by the named executive officer for "good reason," (each as defined in the applicable stock option agreement) all Service-Based Options will immediately vest. Additionally, pursuant to these certain agreements, if there is a "change of control event," as defined in the applicable stock option agreement, all options, including Service-Based Options and Market-Based Options, will vest.

30

Outstanding Altisource stock options were adjusted to reflect the distribution of AAMC and Residential stock to Altisource shareholders in two spin-off transactions completed on December 21, 2012. All holders of Altisource stock option awards, including AAMC and

33


    Residential employees and those who remained with Altisource after the spin-off transactions, received the following:

    New AAMC stock options to acquire the number of shares of AAMC equal to the product of (a) the number of Altisource stock options held on the date of the spin-off of AAMC and (b) the distribution ratio of one (1) share of AAMC common stock for every ten (10) shares of Altisource common stock;

    New Residential stock options to acquire the number of shares of Residential equal to the product of (a) the number of Altisource stock options held on the date of the spin-off of Residential and (b) the distribution ratio of one (1) share of Residential common stock for every three (3) shares of Altisource common stock and

    Adjusted Altisource stock options for the same number of shares of Altisource common stock with a reduced exercise price per stock option.

We determined the exercise price of the new Residential and AAMC stock options and the adjusted Altisource stock options in a manner so that the fair value of the adjusted Altisource stock award and the new Residential and AAMC stock options immediately following the spin-offs was equivalent to the fair value of such Altisource stock award immediately prior to the spin-offs. No incremental share-based compensation was recognized as a result of this adjustment.

(5)
Consists of the cash portion of annual incentive compensation related to performance measures satisfied in the year indicated and awarded in the first quarter of the following year. Includes, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel, the two and one half percent (2.5%) increase in incentive compensation for 2013 due to the Luxembourg statutory compensation increases, as described in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

(6)

The Audit Committee has further recommended that such appointment be submitted for approval by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Representatives of Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, will be given the opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from you.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU

Deloitte & Touche LLP Fees

The following table shows the aggregate fees billed to Altisource for professional services by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates in fiscal years 2012 and 2013:

Category
  2012   2013  

Audit Fees

  $ 1,299,347   $ 1,366,866  

Audit-Related Fees

  $ 223,763   $ 466,520  

Tax Fees

  $ 417,131   $ 303,874  

All Other Fees

    -     -  
           

Total

  $ 1,940,241   $ 2,137,260  

Audit Fees.    This category includes the aggregate fees and expenses billed for professional services rendered for the audits of Altisource's consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2012 and 2013, for the reviews of the financial statements included in Altisource's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and for services that are normally provided by the independent registered certified public accounting firm and affiliates in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the relevant fiscal year.

Audit-Related Fees.    This category includes the aggregate fees billed in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 for audit-related services by the independent registered certified public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits or reviews of the financial statements and are not reported above under "Audit Fees" and generally consist of fees for other attest engagements under professional auditing standards, internal control-related matters, audits of employee benefit plans and due diligence. The 2012 Audit-Related Fees represent billings related to the audits of the financial statements of Residential and AAMC included on Form 10 in connection with their spin-offs from Altisource.

Tax Fees.    This category includes the aggregate fees billed in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 for professional services rendered by the independent registered certified public accounting firm for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

All Other Fees.    This category includes the aggregate fees billed in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 for products and services provided by the independent registered certified public accounting firm that are not reported above under "Audit Fees," "Audit-Related Fees" or "Tax Fees."

The Audit Committee considered the compatibility of the non-audit-related services provided by and fees paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and determined that such services and fees are compatible with the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered certified public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered certified public accounting firm's independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent registered certified public accounting firm has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In fiscal years 2012 and 2013, all fees associated with the independent registered certified public accounting firm's services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Representatives from Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, will be given the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to questions from shareholders.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL ACCOUNTS
PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LUXEMBOURG GAAP FOR
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013,
AND ITS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP INCLUDING A FOOTNOTE
RECONCILIATION OF EQUITY AND NET INCOME TO IFRS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013
(Proposal Three)

Pursuant to Luxembourg law, the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts must be submitted each year to shareholders for approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Luxembourg Annual Accounts are prepared in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP and consist of a balance sheet, a profit and loss account and the notes for Altisource. There is no statement of movements in equity or statement of cash flows included in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts under Luxembourg GAAP. Profits earned by the subsidiaries of Altisource are not included in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts unless such amounts are distributed to Altisource. The Luxembourg Annual Accounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, show Total Assets of $295.8 million and a profit for the year then ended of $97.7 million.

The Consolidated Accounts are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including a footnote reconciliation of equity and net income to IFRS, and consist of a balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of changes in stockholders' equity, statement of cash flows and the accompanying notes. The Consolidated Accounts present the financial position and results of operations for Altisource and all of its subsidiaries as if the individual entities were a single company. As of December 31, 2013, the Consolidated Accounts show IFRS Total Equity of $168.9 million and IFRS Net Income of $138.7 million for the year then ended.

Pursuant to Luxembourg law, following shareholder approval of the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts, such accounts must be filed with the Luxembourg trade registry as public documents. If Altisource does not receive shareholder approval of the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts, we cannot make this filing.

Altisource's Luxembourg Statutory Accounts will be available to shareholders from April 21, 2014 until the conclusion of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at Altisource's registered office.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE LUXEMBOURG STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

41



RECEIPT AND APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS' REPORTS FOR THE
LUXEMBOURG STATUTORY ACCOUNTS
(Proposal Four)

Under Luxembourg law, the Board of Directors is required to prepare annual Directors' reports for the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts (the "Directors' Reports"). The Directors' Reports present the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts for the relevant fiscal year, provide an explanation as to the results and certain other required Company matters and propose the allocation of such results to the shareholders.

The Directors' Reports for the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts will be available to shareholders from April 21, 2014 until the conclusion of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at Altisource's registered office. Following shareholder approval of the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts, the Directors' Reports will be filed with the Luxembourg trade registry as public documents.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
VOTE "FOR" THE RECEIPT AND APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS' REPORTS FOR
THE LUXEMBOURG STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

42



ALLOCATION OF THE RESULTS AND PART OF THE DISTRIBUTABLE RESERVE
IN THE LUXEMBOURG ANNUAL ACCOUNTS
(Proposal Five)

Each year, the shareholders of Altisource are required to approve the allocation of Altisource's results as determined by the Luxembourg Annual Accounts.

Luxembourg law requires that at least 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 10% of the share capital of Altisource, but again becomes compulsory when the reserve amount falls below this threshold. The purpose of the legal reserve is to restrict distribution of all of a company's retained earnings.

The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders of the Company approve the allocation of the Company's results as follows:

Year Ended December 31, 2013

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE
ALLOCATION OF THE RESULTS AND PART OF THE DISTRIBUTABLE RESERVE IN THE LUXEMBOURG ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

43



ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
"SAY-ON-PAY"
(Proposal Six)

As required Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, the Company is presenting this proposal, which gives shareholders the opportunity to approve or not approve our pay program for named executive officers.

As described in detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, incent and retain our named executive officers, who are critical to our success. Pursuant to these programs, the Company seeks to reward the named executive officers for achieving strategic business goals. Please read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2013 compensation of our named executive officers. Accordingly, we will ask our shareholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

While our Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the shareholder vote resulting from this proposal, the final vote will not be binding on us and is advisory in nature. The frequency that an advisory vote on executive compensation will be presented to the Company's shareholders is every three years, and the next such advisory vote will be held at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

You may vote for or against the approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement.

44



APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION FOR
THE COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON
(Proposal Seven)

Luxembourg law requires the Company to submit proposed changes in Director compensation to our shareholders for approval.

In October 2013, our Board of Directors established a Compliance Committee which is responsible for (i) establishing and overseeing the compliance function for the Company and its subsidiaries, including its compliance management system and (ii) overseeing compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including applicable consumer financial protection laws and regulations.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has recommended an annual cash retainer for the chairperson of the Compliance Committee in the amount of $10,000; such compensation to be prorated for a chairperson serving less than a full one-year term. The proposed compensation was approved by our Board of Directors on November 12, 2013, subject to ratification at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We are proposing that such compensation be approved.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION FOR THE
CHAIRPERSON OF OUR COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE

DISCHARGE OF EACH OF THE CURRENT AND PAST DIRECTORS OF
ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.
FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR MANDATE DURING THE
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013
(Proposal Eight)

Pursuant to Luxembourg law, after the approval of the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts (as discussed in Proposal Three above), the shareholders of Altisource are required to vote on whether to discharge Altisource's Directors for the performance of their mandate during the relevant fiscal year. If the shareholders grant the discharge of Directors for the relevant fiscal year, shareholders will not be able to initiate a liability claim against such Directors in connection with the performance of their mandate for the relevant fiscal year. However, such discharge will not be valid in certain instances as specified in Article 75 of the Luxembourg Law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended. For fiscal year 2013, Altisource believes no such instances have occurred.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE
DISCHARGE OF EACH OF THE CURRENT AND PAST DIRECTORS OF ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO
SOLUTIONS S.A. FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR MANDATE DURING THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2013

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures for review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving Altisource and related persons (Directors and named executive officers or their immediate family members or shareholders owning 5% or greater of the Company's outstanding stock) within our written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which is available at www.altisource.com. These policies and procedures are not limited to related person transactions that meet the threshold for disclosure under the relevant SEC rules, as they broadly cover any situation in which a conflict of interest may arise.

Any situation that potentially qualifies as a conflict of interest is to be immediately disclosed to the head of internal audit and/or the General Counsel to assess the nature and extent of any concern as well as the appropriate next steps. The head of internal audit and/or the General Counsel will notify the Chairman of the Board of Directors if any such situation requires approval of the Board of Directors. Related persons are required to obtain the prior written approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors before participating in any transaction or situation that may pose a conflict of interest. In considering a transaction, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors including (i) whether the transaction is in the best interests of Altisource; (ii) alternatives to the related party transaction; (iii) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to third parties; (iv) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts and (v) the overall fairness of the transaction to Altisource. The Committee will periodically monitor any approved transactions to ensure that there are no changed circumstances that would render it advisable for the Company to amend or terminate the transaction.

As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Erbey, our Chairman, owns or controls 26% of Altisource's common stock, 13% of Ocwen's common stock and 27% of AAMC's common stock. Therefore, transactions between the Company and each of Ocwen and AAMC are related party transactions. As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Erbey owns or controls 1% of HLSS's common stock and 5% of Residential's common stock; however, at certain points during the course of 2013, Mr. Erbey owned or controlled more than 10% of Residential's common stock. The Company is treating all transactions between the Company and each of HLSS and Residential during 2013 as related party transactions.

Ocwen

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated segment revenue from Ocwen of $424.0 million for Mortgage Services, $27.6 million for Financial Services and $50.5 million for Technology Services. Services provided to Ocwen during such periods included residential property valuation, real estate asset management and sales, trustee management services, property inspection and preservation, closing and insurance services, charge-off mortgage collections, core technology back office support and multiple business technology services and license fees for the Company's REALSuite of products. The Company provided all services at rates it believes to be comparable to market rates. Altisource derived 65% of its revenues in 2013 from Ocwen or the loan servicing portfolio managed by Ocwen, and Ocwen derived less than 1% of its revenues in 2013 from Altisource.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company billed Ocwen $2.6 million, and Ocwen billed the Company $2.9 million for services provided under support services agreements.

On December 27, 2012, the Company loaned $75.0 million to Ocwen under an unsecured term loan agreement. Interest payments were due quarterly. The interest rate at December 31, 2012 was 8.25%, and interest income related to this loan was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. On February 15, 2013, Ocwen fully repaid the term loan and all accrued and unpaid interest to Altisource, and the term loan was terminated.

47


On March 29, 2013, Altisource purchased from Ocwen certain diversified fee-based businesses of Homeward Residential, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $75.8 million in cash, after a working capital and net income adjustment.

On March 31, 2013, Altisource sold to Ocwen its 49% equity interest in Correspondent One S.A. for $12.6 million.

On April 12, 2013, Altisource purchased from Ocwen the Residential Capital, LLC diversified fee-based businesses for $128.8 million.

Altisource's relationship with Ocwen was contemplated at the time of the separation and was implemented prior to the adoption of the related party transaction policy and procedure discussed above.

HLSS, Residential and AAMC

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Altisource billed (i) HLSS $0.7 million, (ii) Residential $2.6 million and (iii) AAMC less than $0.1 million for services provided under its respective services agreements with each of these companies. In 2013, Altisource derived less than 1% of its revenues from HLSS, less than 1% of its revenues from Residential and less than 1% of its revenues from AAMC.
