Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

•

Who May Vote

You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders if you are a holder of record of our common stock at the close of business on March 15, 2012. At the close of business on March 15, 2012, there were 23,320,637 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. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be treated as present for purposes of a quorum.

Quorum and Voting Information

The presence at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders 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.

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 2012 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 a share repurchase program whereby Altisource may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock within certain limits; the proposal to approve the Company’s annual accounts prepared in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP and the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP including a footnote reconciliation of equity and net income to IFRS, in each case for the year ended December 31, 2011; the proposal to receive and approve the Directors’ reports on the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2011; the proposal to allocate the results of the year ended December 31, 2011; the proposal to approve the discharge of each of the current and past Directors of Altisource for the performance of their mandate during the year ended December 31, 2011; 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. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a shareholder has not provided voting instructions to the broker on a non-routine item. Other than with respect to the approval of our independent registered accounting firm, in the event of a broker non-vote, brokers may not vote on behalf of their clients on the above proposals.

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 material. Please contact your bank or brokerage firm for further information.

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.

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 2011. Each incumbent Director attended at least 75% 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 2011 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 the 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 such 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. Müller-Ineichen, Vättö and Linn 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 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 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 2011 were Ms. Andresen-Kienz⁽¹⁾ and Messrs. Linn⁽²⁾, Müller-Ineichen and Vättö. 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. Furthermore, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Müller -Ineichen possesses accounting or related financial management expertise within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing standards and qualifies as an audit committee financial expert 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. Annually, the Audit Committee reviews and approves its charter. The charter was last reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee in February 2012. This Committee met seven (7) times in 2011.

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 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 for the administration of awards under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary in connection with its responsibilities at our expense. The Compensation Committee may request that any of our Directors, officers or employees, or other persons attend its meetings to provide advice, counsel or pertinent information as the Committee requests.

The members of the Compensation Committee for 2011 were Ms. Andresen-Kienz⁽¹⁾ and Messrs. Linn⁽²⁾, Müller-Ineichen and Vättö. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent as defined by NASDAQ listing standards. 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 Chairman. The Compensation Committee generally meets in executive session at each scheduled meeting.

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. This Committee met five (5) times in 2011. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee evaluates its performance under its charter to ensure that it appropriately addresses the matters that are within the scope of Committee responsibility. When necessary, the Compensation Committee recommends amendments to its charter to the Board of Directors for approval. The charter was last reviewed by the Compensation Committee in March 2012, and an immaterial amendment which deletes a reference to the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was recommended to the Board of Directors for approval and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors.

Certain executives are involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation programs, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer, who may be present at Compensation Committee meetings. These executives annually review the performance of each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee with consultation of the Chairman) 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 for development and execution.

⁽¹⁾	Ms. Andresen-Kienz was a member of this Committee through May 18, 2011.

⁽²⁾	Mr. Linn was a member of this Committee from May 18, 2011.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. No member of the Compensation Committee was at any time during the 2011 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 2011 fiscal year.

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 for 2011 were Messrs. Erbey, Müller-Ineichen and Vättö. In 2012, Mr. Linn replaced Mr. Erbey on the Committee and now serves as Chairman. Each member of our Nomination/Governance Committee is independent as defined in the 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. Annually, the Nomination/Governance Committee reviews and approves its charter. The charter was last reviewed and approved by the Nomination/Governance Committee in March 2012. This Committee met four (4) times in 2011.

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, and the NASDAQ listing standards. In addition, our Nomination/Governance Committee takes into account our 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.

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., 291, route d’Arlon, L-1150 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 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we must receive your recommendations by December 4, 2012.

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.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

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 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., 291, route d’Arlon, L-1150 Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Risk Management and Oversight Process

Our Board of Directors and each of its committees are involved in overseeing risk associated with the Company. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee monitor Altisource’s credit risk, liquidity risk, regulatory risk, operational 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, assessment of business risks and legal and ethical 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. The Board of Directors and the Nomination/Governance Committee monitor the Company’s governance and succession risks by regular reviews with management. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee monitor the Company’s compensation policies and related risks by regular reviews with management. 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 the 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 promote individual service longevity and to provide our executives with long-term incentive opportunities that promote consistent, high-level financial performance. 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:

•

compensation programs for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel;

•

overall objectives of our compensation program and what it is designed to reward;

•

each element of compensation that we provide; and

•

the reasons for the compensation decisions we have made regarding these individuals.

Our named executive officers for 2011 are:


Name		Position
William B. Shepro		Chief Executive Officer
Robert D. Stiles⁽¹⁾		Chief Financial Officer
Kevin J. Wilcox		Chief Administration Officer and General Counsel

⁽¹⁾	Mr. Stiles resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective March 1, 2012 and is no longer with the Company.

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, who are typically present at Compensation Committee meetings. These executives annually review the performance of each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee) 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 for development and execution.

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, Robert D. Stiles, our Chief Financial Officer during fiscal year 2011 and Michelle D. Esterman, our current Chief Financial Officer. The employment terms continue indefinitely until the executive’s separation from the Company. The contracts 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 contract, each party must provide notice in accordance with the time periods set forth in article L.124-1 of the Luxembourg Labour Code. In the event of the executive’s termination by the Company for “cause”, 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 Labour Code upon certain terminations.

The contracts 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 a non-solicitation covenant for a period of one (1) year following the termination of the contract. The agreements are governed 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 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. While the Compensation Committee sets the base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, the base salaries for all other executive officers are established and reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer.

Additionally, under Luxembourg law, all salaries are required to be adapted based upon the cost of living index in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. On July 1, 2010 and on October 1, 2011 there was a required 2.5% increase in all salaries pursuant to this law. Our Chief Executive Officer and named executive officers’ salaries were adjusted accordingly.

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 2011, 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 2011 and each named executive officer’s actual total annual cash compensation that was allocated to each of base salary and incentive compensation in 2011:


Name	Base Salary % of Target Total Annual Cash Compensation in 2011			Incentive Compensation % of Target Total Annual Cash Compensation in 2011			Base Salary % of Actual Total Annual Cash Compensation in 2011			Incentive Compensation % of Actual Total Annual Cash Compensation in 2011
William B. Shepro		40	%		60	%		35	%		65	%
Robert D. Stiles⁽¹⁾		60	%		40	%		100	%		—
Kevin J. Wilcox		50	%		50	%		47	%		53	%

⁽¹⁾	Mr. Stiles resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective March 1, 2012 and did not receive any incentive compensation for the 2011 fiscal year.

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 2011, our corporate scorecard was approved by our Board of Directors at our meeting on January 25, 2011.

Our corporate scorecard for 2011 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.

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 quarterly basis 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.

Executives have 20% of their incentive compensation determined by their performance appraisal for the service year. Each of our 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 or her own observations to prepare a written performance appraisal for each of the other executive officers. These performance appraisals rate performance 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.

For our executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, in conjunction with the Chief Administration Officer, 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 2011, incentive compensation was awarded accordingly. Please see the Summary Compensation Table under Executive Compensation for the actual amounts awarded in 2011.

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. Key performance indicators for the Company for 2012 have been developed.

The corporate scorecard for 2012 includes achieving an overall revenue target, achieving business segment specific revenue and pre-tax income targets and increasing earnings per share. In addition, the corporate scorecard provides for successful completion of strategic initiatives established to enhance long-term corporate and shareholder value.

The 2012 corporate strategic initiatives relate to:

•

Improving performance through operational effectiveness and efficiency;

•

Diversifying our revenue and customer base; and

•

Developing services.

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 2011, 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.

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.

Our Compensation Committee most recently conducted benchmarking through an independent compensation consultant, Exequity LLP (“Exequity”), in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011. The consultant assisted the Compensation Committee in reviewing the compensation levels for our named executive officers and Directors.

Exequity conducted an analysis of our named executive officer and director compensation levels compared to pay levels among our peer companies to help identify the competitive positioning of our pay practices. All information was obtained from publicly available proxy disclosures and included base salary, cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation.

The Compensation Committee believes this methodology of peer group benchmarking provides a fair representation of the competitive arena for executive talent and is an effective approach to setting compensation levels to ensure that the Company’s pay practices allow it to attract and retain executive employees of the highest quality.

Based on the benchmarking, performance, retention and other relevant considerations, the Compensation Committee reviewed recommendations and determined appropriate base salary and annual incentive compensation targets for the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers.

Additionally, under Luxembourg law, all salaries are required to be adapted based upon the cost of living index in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. On July 1, 2010 and on October 1, 2011 there was a required 2.5% increase in all salaries pursuant to this law and our Chief Executive Officer and named executive officers’ salaries were adjusted accordingly.

No changes to our Chief Executive Officer’s or named executive officers’ compensation are recommended for 2012 other than any legally mandated adjustments pursuant to Luxembourg law.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee, in cooperation with senior management, implemented the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), 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 award.

Based upon a review of current outstanding awards, and finding that these awards adequately meet the objectives of our compensation philosophy, no equity awards were granted to our Chief Executive Officer or other named executives pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan during the 2011 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 to align their interests with the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s various 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 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 in 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 30, 2011 (the last business day of fiscal year 2011). 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, 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” 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, the Company will be obligated to pay one (1) year’s target incentive compensation in such instance. In these instances, the Company will also pay all standard relocation costs to relocate the named executive officer to the United States. If the named executive 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. 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 granting an equity award, 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,” 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.

Upon his retirement, disability, death, termination by the Company without “cause” or termination by Mr. Shepro for “good reason,” Mr. Shepro would receive $1,838,242 from the accelerated vesting of options. Upon a “change in control,” Mr. Shepro would receive $6,911,549 from the accelerated vesting of options.

Upon his retirement, disability, death, termination by the Company without “cause” or termination by Mr. Wilcox for “good reason,” Mr. Wilcox would receive $1,094,765 from the accelerated vesting of options. Upon a “change in control,” Mr. Wilcox would receive $4,334,057 from the accelerated vesting of options.

Ms. Esterman was not an employee as of December 31, 2011 and therefore would not have received any benefit from the accelerated vesting of options.

Mr. Stiles resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective March 1, 2012 and is no longer with the Company. In exchange for executing a separation agreement, he received a severance payment of $100,000 and was permitted to use a Company-owned car and rented apartment through March 31, 2012. Pursuant to the separation agreement, he will also receive a tax equalization and preparation payment for 2011 and 2012 consistent with past practice during the term of his employment. In addition, he will receive reimbursement for relocation expenses back to the United States, including business class airfare and movement of household goods. Mr. Stiles retained his vested options in accordance with the terms of his outstanding option agreements.

Tax Considerations

The timing of compensation decisions is driven by a variety of tax considerations. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, the tax deduction by corporate taxpayers is limited with respect to the compensation of certain executive officers up to $1,000,000 per covered executive unless such compensation is based upon the attainment of performance objectives meeting certain regulatory criteria or is otherwise excluded from the limitation.

In order to satisfy the deductibility requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code, performance objectives must be established in the first 90 days of the performance period. For annual incentive awards, this means performance objectives must be established no later than the end of March. In addition, in order to avoid being considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and to be deductible for the prior tax year, our annual incentive awards with respect to the prior year must be paid out by March 15 for employees of the Company who are U.S. taxpayers.

Report of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included on pages 15 through 24 of this proxy statement with management.

Based on the review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding the independent registered certified public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP their independence.

In reliance on the review and discussion referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Altisource’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Deloitte & Touche LLP Fees

The following table shows the aggregate fees billed to Altisource for professional services by Deloitte & Touche LLP in fiscal years 2010 and 2011:


Category	2010		2011
Audit Fees	$	986,105	$	1,189,928
Audit-Related Fees	$	85,000		—
Tax Fees	$	256,729	$	215,403
All Other Fees		—		—
Total	$	1,327,834	$	1,405,331

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 2010 and 2011, for the reviews of the financial statements included in Altisource’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during fiscal years 2010 and 2011 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 2010 and 2011 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.

Tax Fees. This category includes the aggregate fees billed in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 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 2010 and 2011 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 2010 and 2011 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 2010 and 2011, 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 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 SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

(Proposal Three)

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 19, 2010, our shareholders approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s stock to be repurchased. Under that program, shares are eligible for repurchase at a minimum price of one dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum price of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per share. As of March 15, 2012, the total number of shares repurchased under the program amounted to 10.7% of Altisource’s 25,412,748 outstanding shares. On March, 15, 2012, the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock was sixty-five dollars and fifty-three cents ($65.53), near the upper repurchase limitation of the program. We anticipate that we could exceed the repurchase limitations of the program prior to the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Therefore, the Board of Directors of Altisource has approved presenting a new share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) to the shareholders for approval whereby the Board of Directors is empowered to purchase outstanding shares of the Company’s stock.

The Share Repurchase Program shall be subject to Luxembourg law and provides for the equal treatment of shareholders. The term of authorization to the Board of Directors will be five (5) years. The maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased will be up to fifteen percent (15%) of shares outstanding as of the date of the shareholder approval. Shares will be eligible for purchase at a minimum price of one dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum price of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00) per share. The purchase volumes will be subject to daily volume restrictions per SEC regulations. The Board of Directors shall be empowered to give authority to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to decide within the limits of the authorization set out above, the timing and conditions of the Share Repurchase Program.

In lieu of accumulating cash, which provides a low rate of return to shareholders, or paying dividends, which are often subject to double taxation, the Board of Directors believes the Share Repurchase Program will be an effective use of Altisource’s cash earnings to generate shareholder value.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE

APPROVAL OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LUXEMBOURG GAAP AND THE

COMPANY’S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP

INCLUDING A FOOTNOTE RECONCILIATION OF EQUITY AND

NET INCOME TO IFRS, IN EACH CASE

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

(Proposal Four)

Pursuant to Luxembourg law, the Luxembourg Annual Accounts and the Consolidated Accounts must be submitted each year to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for approval.

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 to the Luxembourg Annual Accounts. There is no statement of movements in equity or statement of cash flow included in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts under Luxembourg GAAP; consequently, profits earned by the subsidiaries of Altisource are not included in Altisource’s Luxembourg Annual Accounts unless such amounts are distributed to Altisource. As of December 31, 2011, the Luxembourg Annual Accounts for Altisource show Total Assets of $135.3 million and a loss for the year then ended of $4.4 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 to these financial statements. The Consolidated Accounts present the financial position and results of operations for Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (the parent entity) and all of its subsidiaries as if the individual entities were a single company. As of December 31, 2011, the Consolidated Accounts show IFRS Total Equity of $170.5 million and IFRS Net Income for the year then ended of $81.9 million.

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

Altisource’s Luxembourg Statutory Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2011 will be available to shareholders from April 15, 2012 at Altisource’s registered office.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE LUXEMBOURG STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011.

RECEIPT AND APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS’ REPORTS ON THE

LUXEMBOURG STATUTORY ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

(Proposal Five)

Under Luxembourg law, the Board of Directors is required to prepare annual Directors’ reports for the Company’s Luxembourg Statutory Accounts (the “Directors’ Reports”). The Directors’ Reports present the figures for the relevant fiscal year, provide an explanation as to the results and certain other Company matters as required and make a proposal to the shareholders of Altisource as to the allocation of such results for such fiscal year.

The Directors’ Reports will be available to shareholders of Altisource from April 15, 2012 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 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011.

ALLOCATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

(Proposal Six)

The shareholders of Altisource must approve the allocation of Altisource’s results as determined by the Luxembourg Annual Accounts of Altisource each year. Luxembourg law requires that at least five percent (5%) of the net profits, if any, for the Luxembourg Annual Accounts be apportioned to a legal reserve; provided, however that this allocation shall cease to be compulsory under Luxembourg law when the reserve attains ten percent (10%) of the share capital of Altisource but shall again become compulsory as soon as the reserve amount falls below this threshold. As the Company made a net loss pursuant to its Luxembourg Annual Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2011, there is no requirement to make such allocation.

As of December 31, 2011, the Luxembourg Annual Accounts for Altisource show Total Assets of $135.3 million and a loss for the year then ended of $4.4 million. As noted in Proposal Four above, profits earned by subsidiaries of Altisource are not included in the calculation of net profits for Altisource’s Luxembourg Annual Accounts unless such profits have been distributed to Altisource.

The Board of Directors proposes to allocate the loss reflected in the Luxembourg Annual Accounts to results brought forward.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE

ALLOCATION OF THE RESULTS

OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011.

DISCHARGE OF EACH OF THE CURRENT AND PAST DIRECTORS OF ALTISOURCE

FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR MANDATE DURING THE

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

(Proposal Seven)

Pursuant to Luxembourg law, shareholders must approve the individual discharge of all of the current and past Directors for the performance of their mandate during the relevant fiscal year. As required pursuant to Luxembourg law, after the adoption of the Luxembourg Statutory Accounts (as discussed in Proposal Six above), the shareholders of Altisource shall vote 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, Altisource 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 if the Luxembourg statutory accounts contain an omission or false information concerning Altisource’s position. Furthermore, such discharge will not be valid with respect to any acts taken by a Director which fall outside the scope of Altisource’s Articles of Association unless such actions have been disclosed to the shareholders and approved by them. For fiscal year 2011, Altisource believes none of the Directors have taken any actions outside the scope of Altisource’s Articles of Association.

During part or all of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the following persons served as Directors:

William C. Erbey;

William B. Shepro;

W. Michael Linn;

Roland Müller-Ineichen;

Timo Vättö; and

Silke Andresen-Kienz.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE

DISCHARGE OF EACH OF THE CURRENT AND PAST DIRECTORS OF ALTISOURCE FOR THE

PERFORMANCE OF THEIR MANDATE DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Board of Directors has adopted a policy and procedure 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. This policy and procedure is not limited to related person transactions that meet the threshold for disclosure under the relevant SEC rules, as it broadly covers 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 Compliance Officer and/or the General Counsel to assess the nature and extent of any concern as well as the appropriate next steps. The Compliance Officer 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 person 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, 2011, our Chairman owns or controls 13.68% of Ocwen’s common stock and 23.34% of our common stock. Therefore, transactions between the Company and Ocwen are related party transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we generated $223.2 million of Mortgage Services, $0.3 million of Financial Services and $21.8 million of Technology Services segment revenue from Ocwen. Services provided to Ocwen included residential property valuation, real estate asset management and sales, trustee management services, property inspection and preservation, closing and insurance services, charge-off second mortgage collections, core technology back office support and multiple business technologies including our REALSuite™ of products. We provided all services at rates we believe to be comparable to market rates.

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2011, Altisource billed Ocwen $2.6 million and Ocwen billed Altisource $1.9 million for services provided under a Transition Services Agreement.

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.

For further information with regard to related party transactions between the Company and Ocwen, please see the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2012.
